Dylan and The Hawks

Bob Dylan's Eat the Document is a documentary that captures the madness that ensued during Dylan and The Hawks 1966 tour of Europe in which Dylan transformed himself from an acoustic folk singer to a rock ‘n’ roll musician.
Bob Dylan's 1966 tour of Europe created more controversy and artistic debate than any other tour to date.
