Search - Bob Dylan :: 1965 Interview (San Francisco)

Hard to hear

"The hum of the recorder competes with the noise of the passing cars in the street to drown out Dylan throughout the interview. (Incidentally, a gang bang, not one favored interviewer whom Dylan takes a fancy to.) The interview is slow starting although Bob does make a couple of worthwhile comments toward the end. Given all of the other Dylan material available, and the difficulty in hearing Bob here, this CD is only of interest to Ph.D. candidates who crave every utterance. The price is right, but you'll only listen to it once."

If you can't touch him -- hear him.

"This is a treat for collectors and Dylan fanatics. Or, for you who hasn't had the chance to hear how the genius acts in interviews. After listening to this record, and seeing "Dont look back", I have a feeling that Dylan at this time often took a somewhat personal approach; if he didn't like the interviewer, of a single one of his questions, he either started mumbling, or (this is far more entertaining)messing with his head, with a simble means as semantics of ethical discussions.But, I think he liked this interviewer pretty much."
