Rate this book
Bob Dylan: Dont Look Back--65 Tour Deluxe Edition is the ultimate look at Bob Dylan's concert tour of England in the spring of 1965--one of the most intimate profiles of an artist ever put to film. This definitive set includes the remastered classic film by D.A. Pennebaker, a brand-new, hour-long look at Dylan, and the original 1968 companion book to the film, all housed in an eye-catching, collectible package. More than just a concert film, Dont Look Back is a window into the spirit of the 60s, and one of the poet-musicians whose words and songs defined it.

American political activist Joan Baez sang folk.

People know highly individual vocal style of Joan Chandos Baez, a writer. This soprano features a three-octave vocal range and a distinctively rapid vibrato. Her topics deal with social issues.

People best know her hits "There but for Fortune," "Diamonds and Rust," "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," and to a lesser extent, "We Shall Overcome," "Love Is Just a Four-letter Word" and "Farewell Angelina." After the 1960s, her music strayed considerably and encompassed everything from rock and pop to country and gospel.

She also performed "Sweet Sir Galahad," and "Joe Hill" at the festival of 1969 at Woodstock. Her passion, notably in the areas of nonviolence, civil and human rights, and the environment in more recent years lasted even longer than well-known early relationship with Bob Dylan.

She performed publicly for nearly a half century, released more than thirty albums, and recorded in at least eight languages.


Baez, a writer, especially in the mid-1970s, most often interpreted work and covered Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, the Beatles, Jackson Browne, Paul Simon, the Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, and myriad other persons.

In more recent years, she interpreted diverse writers, such as Steve Earle, Natalie Merchant, and Ryan Adams, and found success.

It pretty much transcribes the film with a bunch of stills, but it’s a fun verite read if you care about Dylan and his buddies.

Donovan really gets the short end of the stick in this. Frankly, by the end of the piece he’s the only one that comes across as likable. Dylan wrote some good songs, but he’s kind of a douchebag in this.
