Don’t Look Back extras - essential new Pennebaker interview

Thanks to writer Steven Rosen for alerting The Dylan Daily to his revealing interview with D A Pennebaker in Citybeat, the Cincinnati News and Entertainment Weekly, about the new de luxe Don’t Look Back (and to musicfoto’s Lawrence Kirsch, who also picked it up).

A few tasty highlights:

* “Pennebaker went back to his unused footage to make a film called 65 Revisited… Dylan is relaxed and even boyishly sweet… He's generally happy and shows it… .

* “65 Revisited contains riveting, electrifying full concert performances of "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue," "She Belongs to Me," "To Ramona," "It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" and the rare "If You Gotta Go, Go Now."

* (in 1966) “Pennebaker prepared his own more straightforward film of that tour called You Know Something Is Happening. It, too, hasn't been released although portions were used in Martin Scorsese's 2005 Dylan film for PBS, No Direction Home.”

Rosen’s piece is a must-read:
