Filmed in the autumn of 1975 prior to and during Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue tour – featuring appearances and performances by Ronee Blakley, T-Bone Burnett, Jack Elliott, Allen Ginsberg, Arlo Guthrie, Ronnie Hawkins, Roger McGuinn, Joni Mitchell, Mick Ronson, Arlen Roth, Phil Ochs, Sam Shepard, and Harry Dean Stanton – the film incorporates three distinct film genres: concert footage, documentary interviews, and dramatic fictional vignettes reflective of Dylan's song lyrics and life.
Part documentary, part concert film, part fever dream, this film captures the troubled spirit of America in 1975 and the joyous music that Dylan performed during the fall of that year.
This documentary is a rare, carefully edited compilation that delves into the world of Bob Dylan’s iconic Rolling Thunder Revue tour of the 1970s. It features footage sourced from a bootleg copy of the elusive 1978 film Renaldo & Clara, directed by Howard Alk and Dylan himself, along with excerpts from Martin Scorsese’s acclaimed Netflix documentary Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story. Highlights include powerful performances of A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall and One More Cup of Coffee, now presented in stunning 4K quality. A visual tribute to Dylan’s artistic force and the mystical atmosphere of a tour that defied convention.
