D. A. Pennebaker first met Bob Neuwirth, Bob Dylan’s 1965 tour manager, at New York City’s Cedar Tavern before the tour began. After DONT LOOK BACK, in which he is often seen, Neuwirth became a fixture at Leacock-Pennebaker, Inc., and he worked on various projects with Pennebaker around that time. Here, the two reflect on those heady years.
The following 25 minutes of never-before-seen outtakes from DONT LOOK BACK offer further glimpses into Bob Dylan’s historic 1965 tour.
In this interview, conducted in August 2015, musician Patti Smith discusses the role Bob Dylan and DONT LOOK BACK have played in her life, as well as tour manager Bob Neuwirth, who served as a mentor early in her career.
