That message from Ginsberg at the end really sums up what I believe all artists/humans strive for; to be true to oneself and one's art for eternity. A lovely sentiment to live by.

Ginsberg did hit strong with that message. Love him.

I get chills every time I hear "mama wipe the blood off of my face.."

So cool to see Dylan and McGuinn letting their freak flags fly.

I was hanging out in Vermont in a small town, singing and playing some music in a small bar. Some young teenage girls were there as well who said they saw a poster in the laundromat saying Bob Dylan was going to be giving a concert in a few days. I looked at my boyfriend; he looked at me. We were overjoyed for a second, but then said, "Nah. Can't be." Right.

My favorite part is at 1:35 when Scarlett walks into the picture, looking beautiful, and puts a faint smile on, and starts nodding her head to the music and you know she is saying "yeah, I am on stage with Dylan and this is great music we are making." Best performances are always when the musicians are enjoying themselves.

What remains of that tour, Bob is not nothing .....as u said......what remains is some fantastic versions of timeless songs that u wrote that have touched the hearts and souls of many and many more to still to come.....

I've just seen the rolling thunder revue film....very interesting....I wish i would have been there...but not even born yet.... If time travellin would be possible, I would go to Bob Dylan concerts 1966 in Newcastle, Royal Albert Hall and Paris, also I would see the Rolling Thunder Revue... So actually I can only dream about it.....

It’s completely appropriate for Ol’ Baby Blue Eyes to say of Rolling Thunder that nothing remains... just ashes. He always knew when to strike a match 🔥and start anew

Geoff Strum nicely put. Neil would tell us lessons in life maybe are only castles burning. Bob would remind us that sometimes those fires need to be placed. As if we’re the Fahrenheit 451 firemen in our own lives. Go start anew...

You mean, those eyes that are bluer than robins' eggs?

Yeah, it was a long time ago, but the night of the concert I thought I would never again see so much talent on one stage at the same time. Thanks to my neighbor Bill R. who phoned me up and said simply, Dylan tonight at the gardens, when can you leave ?

Bob is totally hypnotic, his eyes are burning. Roger is under Bob’s spell. He looks frantic. Rolling Thunder will be my first stop, when project Time Traveling is ready for regular people, not only scientists. 🕊🙏🌎💕💜

Lovely clip. You keep making my weekends better! I love that part where Dylan pauses to admire Roger McGuinn seemingly mesmerized by his finger picking. Fantastic

Thank you for this...the blessing from Mr. Ginsberg was wonderful.

Its so funny. This was literally just a tour and we give it so much importance.

You are the gift that keeps delivering... haha but really you give us a lot of fantastic stuff, thanks mate 👊

the ashes comment broke my heart, but thank goodness Ginsberg patched it up for me.

First time Dylan does crazy eyes

It was a cool week in Plymouth when he was getting ready to start the tour

I loved that tour

Allen was our true voice, our fire source, the VOICE OF AMERICA, our Love God, the Poet Laureate Emeritus of all our time. We can all bow down. What a whirlwind, a vortex that tour was/is still. With Ginsberg/Dylan we certainly got another Pound/Eliot.

This one gets me every time...

I never saw any of this tour, but read all the coverage in the Village Voice as it was happening, and later the Larry Sloman (?) book about it. It was a quite thick paperback, but about all I remember was a story about him asking Dylan in the "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" lyric, when he wrote "my warehouse eyes my Arabian drums" ... did Dylan mean "eyes" as a noun or a verb. I don't think Dylan answered; I don't think he even had an answer. I guess I always imagined probably an eye roll was his answer.

What has always galled me is how everyone wonders, slack-jawed, "WHO did he write Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands for? Who was it really about, anyway? Guess it must have been Joanie, huh?" TAKE THE WORD *_LOWLANDS._* REMOVE THE "LA" FROM THE CENTRE OF IT. Put a pencil over the LA and cover it up. OK, WHAT DOES IT SPELL?????

This whole documentary is on Netflix for those interested!

Hard to know who’s madder - Bob or Roger. ! Saw Roger once in a converted church in Glasgow. Pretty good gig. Dylan has the most beautiful eyes.

Good clip.. Remember it well

PEEAAAKKKIIINNNGGGG!!!!! My boys are peaking.

Bob ...as ya"ll know.... Always had and always will have ....a way with words .....sooooooooo cool ....

Face paints look brilliant! I bet inspired by Bowie and glam!

I was 15 and saw the Night of the Hurricane--Astrodome.

I believe this about Rolling Thunder - that Bob who had been married with children, living a settled down home life - wanted to re-visit his past - because as a family man he was not living the life like the gypsy performing musician he had in his youth - so once again friends, folks from his past were back in his life again, traveling the country, often Bob driving the bus -briefly rekindling a romance with Joan perhaps. It would be as if you could go back in time and re-visit your past. Bottom line: there are some really fine performances preserved on film.

That beautiful new verse McGuinn sings, does anyone know if he or Dylan wrote it?

Bob Dylan dedicated the song 'Desolation Row' to Allen Ginsberg while playing a concert in Canada in 1997 , who had died the night before . Ginsberg for Dylan is more than a friend , a poet or a philosofer . '' I first met Bob at a party at the Eight Street Book Shop , and he invited me to go on tour with him . I ended up not going , but , boy , if I'd know then what I know now , I'd have gone like a flash . He'd probably have put me on stage with him .'' Allen Ginsberg ( when met a Dylan in New York , early 1960's)

I've met and talked with both Dylan and Ginsburg. Both were very nice. Ginsburg even told me a Dylan story. Lovely memories. Allen is dead. People on the left now are a bore. Against all they used to be for. Dylan totally distanced from the left and its obsessions. Still just an artist. Was the "voice" of something else. Thank God!

(Renaldo & Clara circa '77)...show Bob & Allen visiting Jack Kerouac's grave in Lowell Mass....He would show up in Bob's place in the village and literally record music with him, that has been released commercially... Listen....you might SEE!... Read a little bit of Ginsberg and....................

Darin ist etwas gierig-geiles, das mich absolut abstößt. Nichts wie weg...!

It actually was a bad tour. His management wanted Dylan to play stadiums. The tour lost tons of revenue and was slowly becoming a burden. They played mostly on the east coast then as they were traveling around the tour was hemorrhaging and was losing steam. Small clubs weren't even selling out as most Dylan fans had moved on from him and his style of music. Early Dylan is phenomenal it was new and exciting between 63 and 66 Dylan was at his very best singing and writing but once he left in 66 and abandoned his fans because his ego was hurt when they turned their backs on him when he went Electric and rightfully so as his electric sound was God awful and his harmonica sound was just terrible and his lack of experience fronting a back up band really showed. After going electric he should of taken the rest of 65 off and concentrated on fronting a band making sure his sound he wanted was perfected but his management wanted $$$ so they pushed him out to do concerts with Dylan changing some of his best songs ( only a few years old) to electric and sounding poorly and already with a mob mentality fan base that hated that he went electric. If only he waited out the rest of 65 and worked on his new sound and gave his fan base some time to settle down things could have been better for all. Playing acoustic for the 1st half and then electric the 2nd was insane. If he had been given more time and he played a full electric set things might have been different

Did you hear that, "Swingin Pig"? Did you hear what Allen said? Pretty sure you didn't. I'll paraphrase: MAKE YOUR OWN ART AND FOCUS ON THAT. Leave Bob and all these clips and snippets to Bob and the people involved. Go make something of your own. Bob released what he wanted people to see. Making entire channels to his throwaway content is disrespectful and intrusive and invasive and just generally shitty.
