Eat the Document is a documentary of Bob Dylan's 1966 tour of the United Kingdom with the Hawks. It was shot under Dylan's direction by D. A. Pennebaker, whose groundbreaking documentary Dont Look Back chronicled Dylan's 1965 British tour. The film was originally commissioned for the ABC television series Stage '66. Though shooting had completed for the film, Dylan's July 1966 motorcycle accident delayed the editing process. Once well enough to work again, Dylan edited the film himself. ABC rejected the film as incomprehensible for a mainstream audience.

Eat the Document is a document. Ary. More specifically, it chronicles a tour Bob Dylan once did with the Hawks, who were the Band before they were the Band. There are some faces in there that you wouldn’t necessarily expect, either, like John Lennon and Johnny Cash. It was cool to see the wheel produce another Bob Dylan/The Band collab, because I like their music. However, it wasn’t as good as The Last Waltz. 7/10
