1:08:01
"The conscience of a..."
This, and that and the other.
1:08:04
That I could not relate to.
I just couldn't relate to it.
1:08:09
As long as I could continue doing
what it is that I loved to do...
1:08:12
I didn't care
what kinds of labels were put on me...
1:08:14
or how I was perceived in the press
because I was playing to people every night.
1:08:25
I played at the Hollywood Bowl.
1:08:27
Then I left the organization.
1:08:30
I actually was frightened
when I got the tour itinerary...
1:08:34
to see that we were
going to play Dallas where...
1:08:36
they had just killed the President.
1:08:39
And I thought, you know:
"If they didn't like that guy...
1:08:41
"what are they going to think of this guy?"
1:08:44
And I didn't want to,
you know, I didn't want to be...
1:08:46
the analogy to John Connally.
1:08:50
I didn't want to be the guy next to him.
1:08:53
I started out on Burgundy
But soon hit the harder stuff
1:09:00
Everybody said they'd stand behind me
1:09:04
When the game got rough
1:09:08
The guys that were with me on that tour,
which later became The Band...
1:09:11
you know, we were all in it together.
1:09:13
We were putting our heads
in the lion's mouth and...
1:09:16
I had to admire them for
sticking it out with me.
1:09:18
Just for doing it, in my book, they were,
you know, gallant knights for even...
1:09:22
you know, standing behind me.
1:09:24
By the time we got to England,
it was out of control.
1:09:27
And I don't know if word of mouth...
1:09:30
preceded our concert tour...
1:09:36
but it really was pretty revolutionary,
in the fact that...
1:09:40
here was someone who everyone loved...
1:09:43
and they didn't like what he was doing.
1:09:46
And they were showing it.
1:09:48
These stages were created for people
who stood on stage...
1:09:50
and recited Shakespearean plays.
1:09:53
They weren't made for this kind of music
we were playing.
1:09:55
The sound was pretty archaic, really.
1:09:58
The sound really hadn't been perfected.
The sound quality hadn't been perfected...
