Martin Scorsese. We all know who he is. Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, The Departed,and most recently Shutter Island. All incredible movies made by an incredible man. There is a side however, that people do not know to this little Italian American film director.
The Band, Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones. Scorsese and rock n' roll? Yes, Scorsese has directed The Last Waltz, which documents one of the greatest concerts of all time which consisted of The Band, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and other famous Canadian artists, No Direction Home, a near-four hour film that documents the incredible life of Bob Dylan, and Shine A Light, the Rolling Stone's 2006 Beacon Theater performance.
I'm not going to crank out a movie review or anything, but I just want to share this with you guys. Below, there is a little clip from No Direction Home, a movie I suggest you watch. It's a rare live version of "Love Minus Zero/No Limit", that Bobby played for his friends including Donovan and many beat poets, off of the legendary 1965 album Bringing It All Back Home. Bummer, sony copyrighted the original live version, here's the second best, sorry.
