Customer Reviews

Brilliant
Firstly, there is no Dylan music on this disc, though there is plenty of on stage footage of Dylan and the band, with just a little bit of home video footage too. It's basicaly just Winston recalling his five years on the road with Bob in the 90s, and it's absolutely brilliant. Winston is very eloquent and witty and gives us a fascinating insight into what it's like on the road with Bob Dylan, full of anecdotes and behind the scenes details of the many tours he was on. If you are hesitant about buying it, then don't be, i'm sure you will love it, and it's really a must have for any Dylan fan.
