In 1975 Bob Dylan, who was then making some of the best music in his career, led a rollicking troupe of performers on a tour of mostly smaller venues in the northeast US and into Canada. The group included Joni Mitchell (then at her beautiful best), Allen Ginsberg, Scarlet Rivera, Roger McGuinn, and others. Somebody shot some footage of this and Martin Scorsese made a movie out of it 45 years later. It is not a straight documentary tho; there is a bogus German filmmaker who was supposedly leading the filming (you even hear his voice at times in the scenes), and actor Michael Murphy appears as a fictional congressman. The music is awesome even if the camera work is not. But what I really want to know is why did Dylan and Rivera go their separate ways? They were a brilliant team, and after her departure Dylan hardly ever worked with a violinist again.… Expand

Not a big fan of Bob Dylan and is not one of Scorsese's best documentaries but I liked it. I mean it's music and it's Scorsese, so since the beginning I was going to be there no matter what and in all honesty it was a good informative rideNot a big fan of Bob Dylan and is not one of Scorsese's best documentaries but I liked it.

This film presents the viewer with a whimsical yet intimate look at a singular artist during a unique time in American history. If you’re a fan of Bob, this one sits right up there alongside No Direction Home, I’m Not There, and Dont Look Back.
