What were the great performances of the last seven days of TV? From a haunting reimagining of a classic song to a ringing tackle of a classic TV star, the top five moments are all here in Vulture’s new video feature, “Performances of the Week.â€
In this installment:
Bob Dylan at PBS’s civil-rights commemorative concert, singing a spooky, piano-driven version of “The Times They Are A-Changing†in the White House itself.

Saturday Night Live’s Fred Armisen leading a reunion of his eighties hard-core band at his daughter’s wedding reception. “You hear that, Alexander Haig?!â€
Betty White playing pickup football in the awesome Snickers Super Bowl ad that affirmed her revival. Next stop, SNL — if Facebook has anything to do with it.
And American Idol contestant Andrew Garcia turning “Straight Up†into a folk-pop jam. It’s a shame Paula wasn’t there to hear it.
