hey louis, don't you think bob dylan never sang as well as in Melbourne, in 1966 (all these clips are produced by LES FILMS D'OCCASION)?

bob dylan/just like tom thumb's blues/melbourne, 19/20 april 1966



bob dylan/just like a woman/melbourne, 19/20 april 1966

melbourne 1966, one of the very best concerts of dylan's "career": drunk, stoned, or both ...whatever ...but greater and more poetic versions than the originals, most of them recorded just a few weeks earlier for the BLONDE ON BLONDE ALBUM (some tracks are from 1965's HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED, an album almost done as a live improvised concert -i know, i was there in summer 1965, as a young french journalist, for more than half of the recording .. ampaings souvenirs of an incredibly creative artist, although high on rhum and coke/and cocaïne or heroin, or so it seemed... only charlie parker could do that)

it's divided in 54 parts, you'll see the whole of it

renaldo and clara (part 53, just like a waman/knockin' on heaven's door)

renaldo and clara is a masterpiece of images and music, with an idea of schizo-cinematography and split characters that dylan invented more than 30 years before todd haynes had his idea on a film on him.
here's what dylan had to say in 1976 about different actors playing bob dylan:
-in the movie, ronnie hawkins, a 300-pound canadian rock singer, goes by the name of bob dylan. so is there a real bob Dylan?
-dylan: in the movie, no. he doesn't even appear in the movie. his voice is there, his songs are used, but bob's not in the movie. it would be silly. did you ever see a picasso painting with picasso in the picture? you only see his work. now, i'm not interested in putting a picture of myself on the screen, because that's not going to do anybody any good, including me.
...the persona of bob dylan is in the movie so we could get rid of it. there should no longer be any mystery as to who or what he is-he's there, speaking in all kinds of tongues, and there's even someone else claiming to be him, so he's covered. this movie is obvious, you know. nobody's hiding anything. it's all right there. the rabbits are falling out of the hat before the movie begins.
-...but bob dylan and mrs. bob dylan are played by different people....
-oh, yeah.
-and you don't know for sure which one he is?
-sure. we could make a movie and you could be bob dylan, it wouldn't matter...
-but if there are two bob dylans in the film and renaldo is always changing....
-well, it could be worse, it could be three or four ...
