That girl

I cant find out and I need to know - whos that girl hanging around all the time? Not Baez, I'm not silly, but that girl who among very many other things sits beside (or you can see her face when Dylan leans back) Dylan when he's really taking out his anger on that awful-looking journalist. I think she's got long hair, short on the forehead, and she always holds a cigarette.
And while I'm on it - who's the black guy listening to Dylan playing the piano?

I've got the new two-disc and she's all over the place. Thanks a lot!

Jones Alk, she was the sound person on that tour. If you look carefully, you can sometimes see her holding a mic.

Oh yeah, and the black guy is Tom Wilson, Dylan's producer at the time.

Just for the record and although no one asked, let me add that Tom Wilson is a genius producer, responsible for great albums not only by Dylan, but also by Sun Ra, Coltrane, Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, Soft Machine, Dion, and The Velvet Underground.

Well said. Case in point the Velvet Underground's second album "White Light White Heat". The song Sister Ray is practically the invention of heavy metal. Tom Wilson was able to get that sound out of a studio session.

But thanks for the info. Bob D. was far ahead of his time if he had a female sound technician way back when.

she wasn't his sound technician. she was pennebaker's boom operator.

And that woman at the beginning who Baez sings to is Albert Grossman's wife who also appears on the BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME album cover.

Marianne Faithfull is the stunning looking blondish red headed girl in the hotel room with Dylan and Joan Baez when Dylan is typing on the typewriter and Joan is playing 'Love is Just a Four Letter Word' and 'Percy's Song'. I always wondered that until the dvd commentary came out.
