Bob Dylan: In July of 1964, one year before his music changed from acoustic to electric, I photographed Bob Dylan for LOOK magazine.

After reviewing the proposed layout, the editors declared Dylan to be “too scruffy for a family magazine” and killed the story.

Read more about Douglas R. Gilbert and these photographs of Bob Dylan in a January article in The Boston Globe.

Coming in October from Da Capo Press: “Forever Young: Photographs of Bob Dylan” by Douglas R. Gilbert with text by Dave Marsh.

You can now enjoy some of these photographs, along with Bob Dylan’s music from this period with Sony Music’s release of “The Bootleg Series, Vol. 6: Bob Dylan Live 1964, Concert at Philharmonic Hall.”
