Full article:
Mickey Jones : I’ve been told there was a bomb threat at the Gaumont but, you know, if there was, we were totally unaware of it. It certainly didn’t affect us or our performance.
Harry Murray (manager, The Gaumont, Sheffield) : We decided to sweat it out. If I had thought for one moment that the audience were in danger I would have cleared the theatre immediately.
Jean-Marc Pascal (journalist, Salut Les Copains) : Later on, the entire group meets in a suite. Five musicians, four film-makers and sound technicians, one sound man, Tom - the driver of the Rolls who is also acting as Dylan’s bodyguard, Henri - who looks after the guitars, Al Grossman, Bob Neuwirth, Fred Perry (from CBS London, the tour manager), Bob Dylan and myself plus a few girls picked up at the end of the show. Twenty people altogether They have to listen and choose the recordings made of the concert. It’s a daily routine … Bob is having a film made of the tour for American television and these recordings have to be synchronised later with the pictures…. At 6.00 am there are only three or four people left: Bob, myself and a couple of musicians. We talk about John Lennon, Mick Jagger and trends in world cinema.
