Interview with Larry Sloman on "Today" this morning.Comment

I watched it last night and loved every minute of it. Can't wait to watch it again!
It did make me very nostalgic for Dylan's 1975 voice, though.....Comment

Only had time for the first hour or so last night - slow to get going, I thought, could have done without a stoned Patti Smith reciting whatever the hell that was, but some fascinating interviews running through it. Musically it hit its stride (I thought) with that stonking rendition of Hard Rain, heard complete.... Will be picking up there tonight.Originally posted by Conchis View Post
Or even his 1984 voiceIt did make me very nostalgic for Dylan's 1975 voice, though.....
- he was still in middle period rock star mode (to use Michael Gray's term) when I saw him at Slane Castle on the banks of the Boyne, and he went through the song book in getting on for three hours. I've had opportunities in recent years - my neighbour never misses a Cardiff gig - but can't cope with his current way with his songs, I'm afraid

Still haven't seen it!
But here's Joni with Bob and McGuinn doing an early take on 'Coyote'. Wonderful, but I would say that!

i watched the whole film on Netflix the other week. It’s tremendous, the live footage in particular. Many people (mainly/all Americans) on another forum I subscribe to are upset about the fabricated interviews. Personally I found them a hoot because Dylan’s always been someone who’s difficult to pin down and I see them as an extension of that.Originally posted by johncorrigan View PostStill haven't seen it!

I loved that when I watched the film. He does seem to have been clumsy with the cocaine backstage though, it’s gone all over his face.Originally posted by Jazzrook View PostBob Dylan ~ Isis ~ Rolling Thunder Revue:

My daughter's lad gave me a shot of his Netflix password and I got to see the film the other night, at last. Really enjoyed it, particularly the sequences about Ginsberg and his desire to be a musician (felt for him when his poetry was cut from the later shows); the sequence about marriage between Baez and Bob...powerful stuff; and the totally crazed expression of McGuinn singing 'Heaven's Door' with Dylan; and of course the brief Joni section and the glorious version of 'Coyote'.
I did wonder what had ever happened to Scarlet Rivera. I wasn't aware of her after 'Desire' but I found this interesting Q&A she did earlier this year about her and His Bobness.
For me, one of the less savoury, dare I say creepy, characters encountered in the film was the Rolling Stone journalist, Ratso. I hear that at the age of seventy odds he has released his first ever record, which is just as creepy, where he appears to be trying to be the new Leonard Cohen. Apparently he wants everything!
