The tour shots are the only reason why I watched the movie... You have to admit the script wasn't that great. haha
I'm excited about this new Dylan documentary from the 'Born again" era.
A documentary film that features footage from Bob Dylan‘s so-called “born again” period will have its premiere at the 2017 New York Film Festival. The annual festival’s lineup was announced today (Aug. 28). Trouble No More, from director Jennifer Lebeau, includes “lost” footage from Dylan concerts in Buffalo, NY and Toronto, Canada, during his 1980 Slow Train Coming tour.
The New York Film Festival, celebrating its 55th year, describes Trouble No More: “This very special film consists of truly electrifying video footage, much of it thought to have been lost for years and all newly restored, shot at shows in Toronto and Buffalo on the last leg of the ’79-’80 tour (with an amazing band: Muscle Shoals veteran Spooner Oldham and Terry Young on keyboards, Little Feat’s Fred Tackett on guitar, Tim Drummond on bass, the legendary Jim Keltner on drums and Clydie King, Gwen Evans, Mona Lisa Young, Regina McCrary and Mary Elizabeth Bridges on vocals).”
Interspersed between concert performances are scenes featuring acclaimed actor Michael Shannon as a preacher delivering hair-raising sermons, written by Luc Sante.
Those attending Dylan’s Slow Train Coming tour were initially surprised that the repertoire focused solely on his new recordings. A December 16, 1978 setlist shows such classic rock favorites as “Mr. Tambourine Man,” “Tangled Up in Blue” and “Like a Rolling Stone” among its 29 songs. At that point, he was playing mostly arena dates.
