The Circus Is In Town

 

5                                 The Rolling Thunder Revue

5.1                           Introduction

The Rolling Thunder Revue was conceived by Bob Dylan as a traveling show that was to be on “a forever tour” appearing in small venues, coffee houses even, without much advertising or marketing hullabaloo. The Revue was to consist of a variable number of performers backed by a core band. If the Revue passed through town and a local artist felt like joining he was always welcome. Well, that was the concept anyway. And it started out pretty much that way, but during the last part of November the venues got bigger, the press coverage got more intense.

The first Rolling Thunder Revue started in Plymouth, Massachusetts and ended with the first of two benefit concerts in Madison Square Garden in New York City, 8 December. There was a second benefit concert in Houston in January. The second and last part of The Rolling Thunder Revue took place in April and May 1976.

During the first Rolling Thunder Revue Bob Dylan filmed his famous 4-hour movie Renaldo And Clara. Please refer to chapter 6 for details. All shows were taped by the Dylan crew and some were filmed. A lot of rehearsals and informal sessions etc were also filmed and later included in Renaldo & Clara.

The reporter Larry Sloman has in his book On The Road With Bob Dylan. Rolling With The Thunder a very candid and entertaining recollection of what it was like to be on tour with The Rolling Thunder Revue. An index to this invaluable book can be found in chapter 6.
