George Harrison and Bob Dylan at ‘The Concert for Bangladesh’ | Michael Ochs Archives / Stringer John Lennon said George Harrison’s ‘The Concert for Bangladesh’ was ‘fantastic’
The book Lennon on Lennon: Conversations With John Lennon includes an interview from 1972.

In 1972, footage from George Harrison’s Concert for Bangladesh was released as a documentary, and John Lennon left the premiere when Bob Dylan came on screen. Lennon was openly a fan of Dylan throughout the 1960s, but his feelings toward the musician eventually shifted. It’s not clear why Lennon left the screening early, though.

While Lennon said he didn’t think Dylan would ever be as big as The Beatles, he admitted that much of his early inspiration came from the American artist.
"I think (Paris) was the first time I ever heard Dylan (…) Paul said, 'Oh, I keep hearing about this guy,' or he'd heard it, I'm not sure – and we took it back to the hotel. And for the rest of our...

There are a couple of great songs from The Beatles‘ solo careers with appearances by other Beatles. The Fab Four might’ve gone their separate ways in 1970, but that didn’t mean they were through working together in some way. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr just never appeared on anything together. Here are the top five Beatles solo songs that have appearances by other Beatles.

While George contributed slide guitar to John’s Imagine tracks “Gimme Some Truth” and “I Don’t Want To Be A Soldier,” electric guitar on “Oh My Love,” and dobro to “Crippled Inside,” his work on “How Do You Sleep?” is the most important and memorable.

Bob Dylan turns 76 today and we’re ranking Dylan’s 10 best film performances, dating back half a century to 1967. The key word is “performances,” which encompass acting work, concert films, and documentaries. It’s often hard to know when Dylan is acting and when he’s being himself (whoever that is), but whenever the iconic singer-songwriter appears on film, one thing’s for certain: you’re watching a performance.
Bob Dylan’s ‘Don’t Look Back’ Gets Deluxe Treatment With New Blu-ray Set
For this reason, we’re lumping everything together, ranking the films based on the depth and richness of performance. It was hard not to include the televised 1965 press conference in San Francisco, which sees Dylan effortlessly (and hilariously) shoot down reporters’ attempts to have him label himself, but we limited this list to feature-length films. Don’t look for Todd Haynes’ “I’m Not There” or any...
