#The Rolling Thunder Revue

[bobdylan-n-jonimitchell]

"The next thing was a quick rehearsal with Joan Baez. Baez had just arrived the previous Thursday, literally rushing to Porco's birthday party straight from the airport, so she'd had less of a chance to rehearse with the ensemble. And the first strains of their harmonizing on "Oh Sister" showed that roughness. Baez looked composed though, almost serene in a Paris Match T-shirt and corded dungarees while Dylan, always the outlaw, stalked the stage in denim pants and black leather jacket.

They started into an uptempo tune and Bob yelled out to Levy, who was directing with a clipboard in his hand at the rear of the hall. "What are we doing?" Dylan queried, "running over the songs we did before?" Levy nodded and Dylan moved back to the mike he was sharing with Baez. Ken Regan, the tour photographer, was about five feet in front of center stage, shooting flash from a chair.

Next was a Johnny Ace song, "Never Let Me Go," Baez sloping her arm around Dylan's shoulder, a weird flashback to '63, when she first introduced the ragamuffin poet to her own concert audiences [...]

Dylan and Baez were duetting on "Tears of Rage," Baez with the lyric book open in her lap, but even that didn't help as Dylan playfully changed the lyrics. Baez looked askance at him. "Don't worry," Dylan chuckled, "I'll tell ya later," and he went on, Baez holding back."
