The Woodland Garden (Friday 12th July 2024)

It seems to be a bumper year here for the St John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum). Perhaps it thinks I need its anti-depressant qualities?

Lozarithm's Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Joan Baez and Marianne Faithfull - As Tears Go By (recorded, May 1965, Dylan's hotel room, probably Savoy Hotel)
I've now finished watching all the supplemental features on the blu-ray of the documentary Dylan film Dont Look Back, a record of his solo UK tour of 1965 made by D A Pennebaker. The film very much concentrates on Bob Dylan onstage and backstage with tour manager Bob Neuwirth and manager Albert Grossman. Along the way there are visits from British musicians and singers such as Donovan and Alan Price. I think I also spotted glimpses in passing of Françoise Hardy and Dana Gillespie, for example, without being told who they were. Among the extra features are over an hour's worth of outtakes. I especially enjoyed this clip were Joan Baez flatteringly knew all the words to Marianne Faithfull's debut single, a hit the year before, and sings it to her with Marianne supplying harmony vocals.
"As you can see from this clip..., Dylan pays almost no attention to the song and instead hammers away on a typewriter and converses with manager Albert Grossman. This is unsurprising since the Dont Look Back tour came at a very awkward time in Dylan and Baez’s relationship. She helped launch his career in 1963 by covering his songs and bringing him onstage at her concerts. They co-headlined several major shows in 1964 and early 1965 and even dated, but things were quickly winding down by the time they got to Europe. He didn’t invite her out at a single tour stop and it would be a decade before they played together again in public.
"I just sort of trotted around wondering why Bob wouldn’t invite me onstage, feeling very sorry for myself, getting very neurotic and not having the brains to leave and go home,” Baez told  Rolling Stone in 1983. “That would be the best way to describe that tour. It was sort of just wasted time.” - US News, 2021
