I really can't think of a "better" rock album than Blonde on Blonde, as far as performances, recording and creativity. For someone so prolific, 90% of his shit doesn't suck. That's quite chill.

Listening to that Blood On The Tapes version of ...Tracks. Neither version clicked with me over the years, but listening to the acetate again and it's finally clicked. It's so minimal and really pulls your heart-strings.

Also, some of the intentional inaccuracies (Bob getting the idea of painting his face from seeing a Kiss show, the entire Sharon Stone thing) just seemed kind of dumb. And that Patti Smith scene...oof.

The Rolling Thunder Revue doc on Netflix is great. If Bob seems like he s having a little too good of a time in his interview scenes, take heed.

I m definitely making time for that this weekend. That s peak live Dylan era. Top 3 at least.

Kind of like Scorsese used footage from Eat The Document for his previous Dylan documentary and didn't acknowledge that either.Concert footage maybe, and they allude to that in the film. There is a character Stefan van Dorp who is interviewed and complains throughout about all of his footage being ripped off.

Yeah that scene with Patti Smith was a cringer, and I say that as a pretty big fan

Angus Jung wrote:Maybe my favorite scene is Joni Mitchell playing "Coyote," which she had just written, with Robert Plant McGuinn and Dylan not really being able to play along with her, and Dylan, who's the total alpha dog in every other scene in the movie, being meek and utterly deferential to her and her talent.YES. Outstanding. Watching that, I thought I think I just GOT Joni Mitchell.It's exactly as you described. She's in her weird open tuning and the other dudes are just sort of flummoxed.
