Summary

Sam Shepard: Rolling Thunder

Bob Dylan's vocal tour Rolling Thunder Revue, which took place in the fall of 1975 and the beginning of 1976, occupies an exceptional place in the history of rock music. Dylan and his motley crew of backing musicians and close friends (such as Joan Baez, Allen Ginsberg, and Ramblin' Jack Elliot) spent nearly two months traveling through the northeastern part of the United States, known as New England, and writer and actor Sam Shepard joined the group at Dylan's invitation as a screenwriter for a planned film about the tour. Unfortunately, the film never came to fruition according to the original plan, although in 1977 Bob Dylan personally directed a film called Renaldo & Clara from almost a hundred hours of recorded material from the tour and subsequently filmed scenes, which lasts more than four hours, and because of its length, it did not appear in regular film distribution. But that's why Shepard's diary remained as a permanent and perhaps the most important document about that tour - a book that many music and literary critics still consider to this day, more than thirty years after its creation, to be the best book-document about the life of a rock musician on a concert tour. Shepard, as a writer and rock musician (he played drums in the group Holy Modal Rounders in the 60s), narrates in a fresh and interesting way about Dylan, the members of the supporting band, mutual friends and new acquaintances, a trip to small towns in New England, numerous behind-the-scenes events, etc. He did not follow the course of events on the tour in chronological order, but simply recorded the most impressive moments for him, supplementing his lucid observations with excerpts from scripts and songs. When we add dozens of excellent photos by Ken Regan to the aforementioned, we can conclude that we have before us an astonishingly intimate, but also very refined and distinctive testimony of one of the most significant concert tours in the history of rock music.
