Big Tim, I saw the Pennebaker video two nights ago, which has snippets of performances from 1965 -- incredibly charismatic (The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll particularly). Offstage he is sort of weird and hateful, and even dull, but onstage, boom. I had no idea or recollection that he was so good in person, covered as my images were with his later ups and downs as a performer. I envy you the experience in those days. He must have been really, really something, if the 5 minutes or so in the film is any indication.
yours, Peter T.
