==Synopsis== The opening scene of the film has Bob Dylan displaying and discarding a series of cue cards bearing selected words and phrases from the lyrics to his 1965 song "[[Subterranean Homesick Blues]]" (including intentional misspellings and puns).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Films |first=Pennebaker Hegedus |date=April 12, 2013 |title=DONT LOOK BACK (1967) β Trailer |url=https://vimeo.com/63913470 |access-date=June 20, 2020 |via=Vimeo}}</ref> This was the first single from his most recent album, ''[[Bringing It All Back Home]]'', and a top ten hit in the UK when he filmed it there (a fact discussed in the film). [[Allen Ginsberg]] appears in the background having a discussion with [[Bob Neuwirth]]. The film features [[Joan Baez]], [[Donovan]] and [[Alan Price]] (who had just left [[the Animals]]), Dylan's manager [[Albert Grossman]] and his road manager Neuwirth. [[Marianne Faithfull]], [[John Mayall]], [[Ginger Baker]] and Allen Ginsberg may also be glimpsed in the background. Notable scenes include: *Dylan and Baez singing [[Hank Williams]] songs in a hotel room, as well as Baez singing the first few verses of "[[Sally Go 'Round the Roses]]", "[[Percy's Song]]" and "[[Love Is Just a Four-Letter Word]]" (which was still apparently unfinished at the time, as Baez later tells Dylan, "If you finish it I'll sing it on a record"; she would record it on ''[[Any Day Now (Joan Baez album)|Any Day Now]]'' in 1968). *Dylan's pre-concert philosophical jousting with a "science student" ([[Terry Ellis (manager)|Terry Ellis]], who later co-founded [[Chrysalis Records]]). *Grossman negotiating with former [[bebop]] [[British dance band|dance band]] leader and music agent [[Tito Burns]]. *Dylan singing "[[Only a Pawn in Their Game]]" on July 6, 1963, at a Voters' Registration Rally in [[Greenwood, Mississippi]] (shot by artist and experimental filmmaker [[Ed Emshwiller]]). *Dylan's interrupting [[Alan Price]]'s backstage performance of "[[Little Things (Bobby Goldsboro song)|Little Things]]" to ask Price why he left [[the Animals]]. *Dylan's extended taunting of ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]''{{'}}s London arts and science correspondent [[Horace Freeland Judson]] who was subjected to what he believes to be a contrived tirade of abuse from Dylan. Dylan claims both that he is not a folk singer, and not a pop singer. *A selection of songs from Dylan's [[Royal Albert Hall]] performance. *Dylan regaling the room with "[[It's All Over Now, Baby Blue]]" at Donovan's request after proclaiming "Hey, that's a good song, man!" during Donovan's performance of "To Sing for You".
