The film has its high moments (literally and figuratively), including excellent concert footage and exquisite renderings of some of Dylan's greatest songs of the period. It was never given a general theatrical release or made commercially available on any form of home video, but unauthorized copies circulate among Dylan collectors. A lengthy outtake featuring a drug-impaired Dylan in a taxi with John Lennon also circulates among collectors. The highlights of the film include an interview with the Manchester Free Trade Hall concert-goer who shouted "Judas!" during the second, electric half of the set; the performances with the Hawks; the scenes of Dylan and Robertson in hotel rooms throughout England playing otherwise-unreleased songs; and a piano duet with Johnny Cash . Some of the concert footage made for ''Eat the Document'' was used in Martin Scorsese 's recent documentary on Dylan, '' No Direction Home .'' ''Eat the Document'' is also a book by novelist Dana Spiotta. |
