This is a segment from D. A. Pennebaker's film, Dont Look Back (a documentary on Bob Dylan's tour of England in 1965). In the film, Dylan holds up cue cards for the audience with words from the song on them. While staring at the camera, he flips the cards as the song plays. Interestingly, there are intentional errors throughout the video. For instance, the song's lyrics say "eleven dollar bills," but the poster says "20 dollars". The video takes place in an alley behind The Savoy Hotel in London where poet Allen Ginsberg makes a cameo appearance.

I love Bob Dylan. He’s so cute in that video.

I think I’m right in saying the cards were written by Bob and Donovan.
There was another take probably in the park opposite the hotel, but they chose this one.

Yes.

Yeah, what’s awesome is that he purposefully did that. Also adding “Dig yourself” in the cards when they aren’t in the lyrics and “pawking metaws.” What a great man. He sang his songs with his soul, not his voice.

This song rocks. It inspired the title for a DJ dance mix that I just did, called “Subterranean Homesick Grooves.”

Has anyone noticed that this great song is a tribute to Chuck Berry’s “Too Much Monkey Business”?
February 15th, 2009 at 8:18 pm

Bob had medical tape on the hand holding the cards so it wouldn’t get cut to shreds.
