Five Stars sandpebble thanks. "Another perspective on RTR" according to Velma Lashbrook. For fans interested in the Rolling Thunder Revue, this logbook adds another perspective on what this tour was like. I would also recommend Larry "Ratso" Sloman's On the Road with Bob Dylan, Anne Waldman's beat poem "Shaman Hisses You Slide Back into the Night" in Kill or Cure, and the film Renaldo and Clara, as well as DVDs and CDs of the tour.I was annoyed by Shepard's apparent lack of attention to detail with respect to Dylan song tit. Steven Heizman said Notes From the Grestest Tour EVER. a collection of random anecdotes and stories you tell over drinks for the greatest tour ever. priceless tales and meandering malarky. the tour between Blood On The Tracks and Desire shows Dylan surrounded by an ever-changing collection of lights out musicians, hangers-on and soothsayers at the end of an era that started long before he unplugged and nearly caused a riot over a decade previous.
The script never materialized, but throughout the many moods and moments of his travels with Dylan and his troupe, Shepard kept an impressionistic Rolling Thunder Logbook of life on the road. In the autumn of 1975, when "New England is festering with Bicentennial madness," Bob Dylan and his Rolling Thunder Revue-a rag-tag variety show that Dylan envisioned as a traveling gypsy circus-toured twenty-two cities across the Northeast. Illuminated by forty candid photographs by official tour photographer Ken Regan, Shepard's mental-snap shots capture the camaraderie, isolation, head games, and pill-popping mayhem of the tour, providing a window into Dylan's singular talent, enigmatic charisma, and vision of America.. Swept up in the motley crew, which included Joni Mitchell, Mick Ronson, Allen Ginsberg, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, and Ramblin' Jack Elliot, was playwright Sam Shepard, ostensibly hired to write, on the spot, the script for a Fellini-esque, surreal movie that would come out of the tour
A member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Shepard lives in Minnesota.. Sam Shepard is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of more than forty-five plays, including Buried Child and True West, as well as the story collections Great Dream of Heaven and Cruising Paradise
