Compared to the Herculean touring schedules that future years would bring, this blow-through was a very modest affair - eight shows in eleven days, with single concerts in six provincial cities followed by two on consecutive nights at London‘s Albert Hall. By the time he opened in Sheffield on 30 April, BIABH (released 22 March) had already put the writing on the wall: this was not just another everyday tour, it was a farewell tour - though at the time the artist was more aware of that than his devoted fans. Film-maker Don Pennebaker was one of the party, his brief to shoot and produce a documentary record of the jaunt, which he duly did: Don’t Look Back was released in 1967 to mixed reviews. But by then Dylan (and Pennebaker) had been back through northern Europe (17 dates in Scandinavia, Ireland, Paris and the UK) again. Thinner, curlier, booted, suited and (more to the point) with a group in tow, it was a decidedly different Mr D on show this fourth time around. It used to go like that, now it goes like this… A hello tour, maybe? Pennebaker did the bizz again, bagging lots more invaluable footage, both inside the concert hall and out. This tour was twice as long - more chances to shoot. What’s more, whereas DLB had been a shoestring b&w affair, this ‘66 venture had money behind it - an advance from ABC Television sufficient to fund a Technicolor production. As things turned out, the network received nothing of use and the advance had to be repaid. But this payback delivered the raw footage into Dylan’s hands and it was he, with co-conspirator Howard Alk, who finally put together and released (though not until 1971) Eat The Document. In the years since, more or less poor copies have circulated among fans wanting primarily to see the clips of ‘66 concert footage it contained. Lately, of course, Scorsese’s tour-de force No Direction Home has obviated that desire. But now, just when you felt that maybe you didn‘t need ETD on your shelf after all, here it is, presented as never before, fit to make you change your mind a second time. So what have we? We have the complete film, 52 minutes, without credits or extras, looking and sounding just fine. And what are we to make of it? Really something? Too much of nothing? Pretentious guff? Art? Or maybe all those things and more?
