Bob Dylan - After The Crash - 1966-1978 (Part 1 of 12).mp4

In association with ISIS magazine, the world's best-selling and most respected Dylan journal, comes the second in Chrome Dreams' Dylan DVD anthology.After The Crash mixes rare historic footage with review and criticism from experts, friends and fellow musicians who played with Bob. Writers and critics Clinton Heylin, Nigel Williamson, Patrick Humphries and Derek Barker volunteer their thoughts and opinions on this icon, and Jacques Levy, in his final interview, discusses his work with Bob on the Desire album. Musicians Ron Cornelius, Bruce Langhorne, Eric Weissberg, Kevin Odegard, Rob Stoner and Scarlet Riviera all talk of their experiences working with Dylan in the studio and on the road. Friend and journalist Al Aronowitz remembers his times with Bob when one of his closest confidantes. Ray Foulkes, organiser of the Isle Of Wight Festival, reveals for the first time how he managed to talk Dylan out of live retirement to perform at the UK's very own Woodstock. The legendary über-fan, AJ Webberman, recounts the events and conversations that took place between him and a rather fractious Bob Dylan in 1971.All in all, the film continues the Chrome Dreams/ISIS mission to tell the real Dylan story spectacularly.

He is not one of the best songwriters he is the best songwriter of all time. The man never saw any peace. People would not leave him alone.

[@electrix6751]

_"he is the best songwriter of all time"_ *NONSENSE.*

[@6thwatergateplumber]

Personally, I just can't buy, and really hate these "best" lists, and "all time" opinions. It's just impossible to measure anyone as being a "best of all time". Every single person, whether it's sports or music or whatever brings their own special way of doing something that makes them notable. And that's about as far as you can take it. And by the way, just think how foolish it is trying to equate Bob Dylan against, say, Bernie Taupin or he against Randy Newman. And those comparisons could go on, and on, and the fact is you can't begin to compare any of these three against each other or against the multitude of other successful song writers that have found success.

When I first heard "The freewheeling Bob Dylan"album in early 1966 I was in the Navy. I didn't particularly like it. I was listening mostly to the album "The Temptations Sing Smokey." I thought the lyrics on that Motown record were outstanding. But.......When I heard Dylan, I thought he was actually reading my mind. I was particularly impressed with the thoughts in "Masters of War." I was thinking those thoughts in elementary school every first Friday when the sirens would go off and we had to hide beneath our desks. I thought the polititians had no right to place all these school kids in danger because of their political machinations and the Atomic Bomb in the backround. I was actually angry as a young kid and Dylan affirmed and assuaged that anger. He must've been going through the same anger I was in the same age. Remarkable That he could put my thoughts to music. Just remarkable of that young man!

[@georgepapoutsis1598]

He laughed about Dylan saying his whole life passed in front of his eyes! I can tell you it happens! When I was about to get hit by a car at the age of ten, my whole life(which at the time wasn't long) passed in front of my eyes in the second before the car hit me! I wasn't hurt,and ran home. Whenever I think of that episode, I always wonder how that could be possible.All your memory flashed before you in one second!!

[@johnnyturner4248]

Bob would never claim to be the" best" . He's way too humble. He would shrug and say " I'm just a song and dance man" Idiotic for anyone that has any research on Dylan to deny that's he's by far the best song writer ever. Ask any songwriter of his period. Hell, he paints and does iron sculptured gates. Has written a few book . Overall, maybe the greatest artist ever. I'm glad that I didn't give up on him after the 60s. He's still doing awesome stuff in all walk of at. " I'm just a song and dance man" Just a hint, if he's coming to your town and you see a new homeless man, give him a few dollars and ask him to sign one for you. I rarely comment on silly stuff l like this.

There was no crash -- he was burned out, drinking a lot and various other hard drugs were floating around. HE was a wreck, thought he was going home, and Albert Grossman tells him they just booked a 60 concerts in 65 days tour which included Australia and a few other places which involved long travel..... and Dylan had a "motorcycle accident", and it probably saved his life. Or he was killed and replaced, and it took awhile to get the replacement up to speed. I have read that. :)

I don't believe that Dylan was a poet , or a folk singer. I believe he was a Bard in the classic sense. Same as Johnny Cash , and a few others of that era. There were people who worshiped him , wanted a piece of him. I'm sure he had to struggle with his ego. Thank God he won.

[@humanbein9415]

+Richard Guglielmi Poet, singer,= bard. Difference? People have been trying to be so astute, clever, and poetic, as well as critical of him while assigning a label to him. He's freakin' Bob Dylan the most influential songwriter of all. That's it. There is the most accurate label.

[@ettoredipugnar6990]

+Human Bein' the most influential in your memory. Not in all time.

[@humanbein9415]

+Richard Guglielmi Well of course in my memory. That point aside, as a solitary writer there is nobody that is referenced more as being an influence, a favorite, or just superior writer by peers, as well as fans. Virtually any artist of strong writing merit has stated this. They also have performed and recorded covers of his work. What lyricist from the past century, or five centuries garners the same level of notice and deconstruction on such a level?

[@ettoredipugnar6990]

+Human Bein' Cole Porter , Noel Coward ,

[@humanbein9415]

+Richard Guglielmi Noel Coward - playwright, different animal. Cole Porter, yeah I get a kick out of him too, but he does not come close to covering the varied avenues of life on both a cerebral, and visceral plane. No need to volley statements on this. If you are one that does not think of Dylan as THE songwriter amongst songwriters that is not going be changed. The same applies to my belief that he is. Enjoy what you will as much as possible.

Why would people do this? - spend countless hours of their lives chasing what they consider a hero? I don't understand this concept. I understand that Dylan has created some incredible art, but why are people doing what we see in this video? Analysing every damn thing another human does for ... ? ... for what ? What do you get out of it? Hell, isn't the music enough for you nerds? - what a strange world we live in... "The great lost year of Dylans career, nobody knows what he was up to..." Hmm. Maybe he was just living his life, you know? - just trucking along being himself? I guess nerds must nerd - if I were Dylan, I'd be like "whatever".

[@pkd.81]

Yeah, but you're not Dylan, and you're weren't like "whatever". You were like "I'm going to bang out a whingy, badly-organised and even more poorly-executed mini essay on the topic." You sure showed everyone buddy. 👍

[@matthewtrow5698]

@@pkd.81 mini essay? Hardly. So, if you refer to the few interviews we have on record with Dylan, he never got this crazy idea of people hero worshipping him - it's right there in the interviews, right from the start. Watch them, you'll see it. His point, right from the start, was about that fact he was just doing it because he loved the process - there _was_ no hidden meaning. He went so far as to say he didn't know _where_ the music came from, attributing it to God, in one interview - that he was maybe a conduit. People just never listened - they continued and continue to this very day, to find things that are NOT THERE. He also said his songs are whatever they mean to whoever is listening and that often there was NO motive behind them - it's just music, song writing. Heh - a song and dance man. But you keep on keeping on "buddy", with your absurd hero worship - I doubt Dylan would understand nor care about it much.

Look at his state of mind in the video in the car with j Lennon. As brilliant as Dylan was, he wasn't in a wise state then. He was skating the edge of the cliff.

They make too much of natural progressions, these "writers and critics." Touring was crap with inadequate sound systems at the time, the volumes went up with Hendrix, Cream etc and some American bands, Beatles were challenged to top Pet Sounds with a real pictorial psychedelic trip of a release after Revolver and that type album was picking up favor and Dylan couldn't compete with that unless he reformatted. What came of Woodstock and Dylan was in 1969, The Band and a return to basics but he was too soon by three years for that..so he waited, the natural thing to do when you have a good contract with Columbia.
