According to Scorsese, Dylan made the stipulation that only two of his songs could be filmed: "Baby Let Me Follow You Down" and "Forever Young". "When Dylan got on stage, the sound was so loud, I didn't know what to shoot," Scorsese later recalled. "Bill Graham was next to me shouting, 'Shoot him! Shoot him! He comes from the same streets as you. Don't let him push you around.' Fortunately, we got our cues right and we shot the two songs that were used in the film." [wiki]

Good stuff!

Saw the film.

Cracked up when Robbie Robertson caught a fly after Scorsese did his New Yorker fast talk (not a dig on St. Martin).

Robbie put out an album of Native American songs - aces all around.
