The most infamous booing in rock history, filmed by the guy keeping the beat.
With a set of drums and an 8mm color home movie camera, Mickey Jones toured the world in 1966 with Bob Dylan and The Band. He captured on film what became known as "The tour that changed Rock and Roll forever." The booing crowds, the scathing reviews, the stomping feet, the infamous catcall of "Judas!" ... all of this in response to Dylan trading in his acoustic folk guitar for an electric sound. Now, for the first time, drummer-turned-actor Mickey Jones (Sling Blade, Home Improvement), with the help of Director Joel Gilbert, chronicles the legendary 1966 Bob Dylan World Tour through his recently discovered home movies. The updated release includes new, exclusive full-length interviews with Charlie Daniels, Johnny Rivers, 1966 World Tour and Gaslight tapes sound man Richard Alderson, and new insights and revelations by Mickey Jones.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mickey Jones filmed this tour between drumming gigs, making him possibly the only person to tour with both Dylan and Kenny Rogers' First Edition.
This footage helped cement the 1966 tour as rock's original 'sellout' narrative, decades before punk made it a cliché.
