Landmark documentary of Dylan's 1965 English tour, shows the
artist backstage, onstage, and on fire, savaging a London
Times reporter who dared to call him a "spokesman". One of
the most intriguing music documentaries because everything
is new-- there were no standards to follow, no landmarks to
take off from. The musical performances-- especially of The
Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll-- are rivetting-- Dylan in
his prime really was a compelling performer. The candid
view of life on the road for a group of powerfully
influential musicians in their prime is irreplaceable.
