From April 30 to May 10, 1965, Bob Dylan played 8 shows in England, which renowned filmmaker D. A. Pennebaker captured for the documentary feature Don’t Look Back. The opening scene of that film is the famous sequence in which Dylan displays and discards a series of cue cards featuring selected words and phrases from the lyrics of Subterranean Homesick Blues. That segment is often called a precursor to the music videos made famous by MTV in the 1980s. In 1998, Don’t Look Back was selected for preservation by the Library of Congress as being a "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” work. By the way, Pennebaker would later film the Monterey Pop Festival, capturing breakthrough performances from Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Who, and Otis Redding. In addition to spawning Pennebaker’s film, Dylan’s 1965 UK shows were significant for another reason. They would would be his last solo acoustic tour. Less than 2 months later, Dylan would go electric at the Newport Folk festival, and the rest as they say, is history. This soundboard recording captures Dylan on May 7, 1965, 46 years ago today, in Manchester, the 6th show of the tour. Download this one to hear Dylan just months before one of the defining events in rock history.
