Bob Dylans second album of 1965, Highway 61 Revisited, would be a historic break: For the first time, none of the tracks would feature just him and his guitar.

On May 10th, Dylan finished the brief tour of England eight all-acoustic shows chronicled in D.A. Pennebakers documentary Dont Look Back. By now, he was bored playing his old songs as hed recorded them. I was playing a lot of songs I didnt want to play, hed say afterward. Its very tiring having other people tell you how much they dig you, if you yourself dont dig you.

Before long, he would bring that fight to his audience some of whom would fight back at first making music that embraced chaos and inspired it.
