Descrição: Part One of Three. Approx. 7 minutes. This is an outtake from 'Eat The Document', a chronicle of Bob Dylan's spring 1966 European tour. Coming in at just over 21 minutes, this famous [or infamous] limo ride with John Lennon and Bob Dylan has become mythic in its appeal to fans and historians of both iconic artists. Here is what is known about this filmed sequence: Filmed by D A Pennebaker, famed filmmaker who also captured the footage for Dylan's 'Don't Look Back' 1965 tour film, this was intended for inclusion in Eat The Document, but did not make the official cut. This sequence was filmed on May 27, 1966 - early in the day - inside Dylan's chauffeured limosine. There has been much documented that this was a cab or taxi ride. You only have to think that neither Dylan nor Lennon would have been able to take a common taxicab ride at that time without being spotted to realize that this is Dylan's limo. Aside from that, he knows everyone in the car which is more evidence of this being his crew. The drive takes place from John's house in Weybridge into central London to where Dylan was staying at the May Fair Hotel. The Beatles would all visit Dylan at the May Fair for the duration of his stand at the Albert Hall. Dylan would be playing the Royal Albert Hall that evening where he was roundly jeered by the fans who did not want to give up their own personal folk savior. John and George Harrison would be in attendance, cheering him on, and as they say, totally digging it. Dylan appears to be on...something. Or very hung over. And to that, towards the end of the ride is getting sick. John is very sharp for the most part, chiding Dylan and generally making fun of the whole situation that is going south. The Beatles were in recording sessions for Revolver, and at this point, were putting the finishing touches on 'Yellow Submarine'. Perhaps not their greatest track, but definitely one where the sessions were memorable for all including Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones. Transcripts of this film are available on the internet. This particular version has very nice video and audio. Note: this upload is for historical purpose and hopefully entertainment as well. I don't own the footage [but it's readily available on the internet] and am posting for enjoyment of the fans.
