Product Description
When acclaimed documentary filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker (Monterey Pop, the War Room) filmed Bob Dylan during a three week concert tour of England in the Spring of 1965, he had no idea he was about to create one of the most intimate profiles of the musician ever put on film. Wanting to make more than just a concert film, Pennebaker sought both the public and private Bob Dylan. With unobtrusive equipment and rare access to the performer, he achieved a fly-on-the-wall glimpse of one of music s most influential figures.

Hailed as one of the best documentaries about a performing artist ever created, Don t Look Back is more than a view of an extraordinary concert tour - Bob Dylan s last as a solo acoustic performer. It s a portrait of the young Dylan tearing the pop world apart! (S.F. Examiner)

Both a classic documentary and a vital pop-cultural artifact, D.A. Pennebaker's portrait of Bob Dylan captures the seminal singer-songwriter on the cusp of his transformation from folk prophet to rock trendsetter. Shot during Dylan's 1965 British concert tour, Don't Look Back employs an edgy vÃ©ritÃ© style that was, and is, a snug fit with the artist's own consciously rough-hewn persona. Its handheld black-and-white images and often-gritty London backdrops suggest cinematic extensions of the archetypal monochrome portraits that graced Dylan's career-making early-'60s album jackets.

Pennebaker's access to the legendarily private troubadour enables us to witness Dylan's shifting moods as he performs, relaxes with his entourage (including then lover Joan Baez, road manager Bob Neuwirth, and poker-faced manager Albert Grossman), and jousts with other musicians (notably Animals alumnus Alan Price and Scottish folksinger Donovan), fans, and press. It's a measurement of the filmmaker's acuity that the conversations are often as gripping as Dylan's solo performances. Grossman's machinations with British promoters, Baez's hip serenity, a grizzled British journalist's surrender to the fact of Dylan's artistry, and the artist's own taunting dismissal of a clueless sycophant are all absorbing.

It all stays good.......2007-05-28

I first saw this film as part of the Vancouver Film Festival one summer evening in the late sixties. It engrossed me then and in its VHS form and in this new double cd release. What's great about this issue is the "out takes" have been reworked into a companion piece that accompanies the original release in this package. The commentaries supplied by D.A. Pennebaker and Bob Nieuwerth are fun and insightful. I loved it. and can't wait for someone to do a similar treatment to "Eat The Document", Dylan's tour with the Hawks a year and a bit later.

Don't look Back.......2007-05-24

I always wanted to have this film; and now it's even better. It was a movie that was only seen by a few; now it can be seen by everyone. Thanx for having it.

Finally the complete songs.......2007-05-21

I waited for so long for them to add the rest of the songs on
this great documentary. It is hard to imagine them making this
documentary any better than it was, but they did. Thank you.

It's the Bob.......2007-05-15

What can he say? Where else can he go? Any damn place he wants to. This is great stuff showing exactly why Bob Dylan stands well above any other popular culture figure of the 20th century.
