1:09:00
Everybody said they'd stand behind me
1:09:04
When the game got rough
1:09:08
The guys that were with me on that tour,
which later became The Band...
1:09:11
you know, we were all in it together.
1:09:13
We were putting our heads
in the lion's mouth and...
1:09:16
I had to admire them for
sticking it out with me.
1:09:18
Just for doing it, in my book, they were,
you know, gallant knights for even...
1:09:22
you know, standing behind me.
1:09:24
By the time we got to England,
it was out of control.
1:09:27
And I don't know if word of mouth...
1:09:30
preceded our concert tour...
1:09:36
but it really was pretty revolutionary,
in the fact that...
1:09:40
here was someone who everyone loved...
1:09:43
and they didn't like what he was doing.
1:09:46
And they were showing it.
1:09:48
These stages were created for people
who stood on stage...
1:09:50
and recited Shakespearean plays.
1:09:53
They weren't made for this kind of music
we were playing.
1:09:55
The sound was pretty archaic, really.
1:09:58
The sound really hadn't been perfected.
The sound quality hadn't been perfected...
1:10:02
many years after that.
1:10:03
The first half of the concert
was Bob Dylan alone...
1:10:07
acoustic and harmonica.
1:10:08
When we kicked off the second half,
I mean, we did kick ass and take names.
1:10:13
And we got everyone in there's attention.
1:10:17
They knew that we had arrived.
1:10:19
Because they were such fans of his
acoustic set...
1:10:22
that when we came in
and did the electric set...
1:10:24
people have said the word to me that...
1:10:27
he was a traitor to folk music.
The pure music.
1:10:30
And I'd just about had it, though.
I'd had it with the...
1:10:33
with the whole scene.
1:10:35
And I was... Whether I knew it
or didn't know it, I was looking...
1:10:39
to just quit for a while.
1:10:42
What about the scene?
What had you had it with?
1:10:44
What about the scene were you sick of?
1:10:45
Well, you know, people like you.
People like, you know...
1:10:49
like, just, you know,
like just being pressed...
1:10:52
and hammered and, you know,
expected to answer questions. You know...
1:10:56
What can I... You know, like...
It was enough to make anybody sick, really.
