northcntryblues Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I watched Scorsese's film on Netflix last night....fascinating, to say the very least. Typical Dylan - fact and fiction flying at you hard and fast - perfect for these times we are now living in.... What guitar is Dylan playing here?

northcntryblues Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 That's what I thought too. He plays it a lot in the rehearsals, and during the concerts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneS Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Didn’t care for this at all. A humorous-less mocumentary whose only redeeming value is some of the unstaged outtakes from Dylan’s own project archive (Joni Mitchell, Allen Ginsberg). All the staged stuff (e.g., where he and Joan B “reminisce” for a few moments about their relationships) is crap and rings hollow. Sure, anyone who needs to see yet more video of yet more bootleg material will have something to enjoy. I get that he’s a genius, musically and lyrically. I’m 100% on board there. But, sorry, if he and/or Scorsese think it’s meaningful (or even vaguely interesting) to fake-explore Dylan’s iconic cultural persona, I got nothing but a giant eye-roll for the endeavor. (Next, I’ll tell you how I really feel. 🤓) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Wow, Anne, you really shoot from the hip. But thanks for the heads-up; from what you've mentioned, and from reviews on imdb.com, most here would most likely come to see what brought you to that opinion watching only a short ways in. I'll eventually watch, but on the small screen, with a jaded eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars68 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I watched the whole film. The live music scenes were great, but the interviews and other stuff didn't add much of anything. I'm by no means a Dylan completeist, but I enjoyed the film. The Netflix Springsteen on Broadway, on the other hand, was just thoroughly amazing all the way through, both the story telling and the music.

zombywoof Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I do have Netflix but have not seen the film.. Maybe you had to be there. I don't know. But I have a different take on it then Anne. I think it was Ginsburg who referred to the Revue as a con-man medicine show. Maybe Scorsese took his cue from that and was trying to capture the painted face spirit of the tour.

aliasphobias Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 The guitar looks to be a '46/'47 LG2. Script logo, no banner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
