Dylan Context Between his March and November trips to Cincinnati, Bob Dylan radically reinvented himself as a performer and altered the course of popular music history. He released Bringing It All Back Home, the first album in his groundbreaking rock trilogy, on March 22. That spring he made his final solo-acoustic tour, culminating in the England concerts of April and May, captured for posterity in D. A. Pennebaker’s groundbreaking documentary film
I was at that 1965 Music Hall show. I don't remember any booing or significant sound problems. In fact, I was amused when, in their rendition of "She Belongs To Me", he changed the lyric from "She wears an Egyptian ring..." to "She wears a ruby red ring..." for no apparent reason. I'd never heard an artist change a lyric before and for no reason. Thanks for this comprehensive insight into the whole scene. Larry Butler
You were there?? That's so cool, Larry! If I could tap my ruby red slippers together, I'd happily travel back in time to see that show. Thanks for sharing this interesting memory from the big night.
I was enrolled in the CCM at UC and playing in bars at night with my local band Ivan and the Sabers. We took the night off to see Bob and The Band. Well worth it.
