 This first part of the list collects non-album song performances and interviews by Bob Dylan on VHS video and DVD (and laserdisc where I have information) up to 1969. I would be grateful for any additional information on these items and other material to place here. Video material included on CD-ROMs or CD Plus discs is still in the main directory in the appropriate part. I don't yet know of any films in the 1960s that used Dylan album tracks.

Films are listed by date of original appearance (in theatres or on TV), not when the VHS video or DVD came out, often some years later. This page does not include songs from regular albums that appear in films or videos without performance footage, nor do I include music videos of standard album tracks - for a full Dylan filmography, see "Expecting Rain" or "TV Talkin'"

For informed discussion of all Bob's screen appearances, see C.P. Lee's well-received book "Like A Bullet Of Light ".

Thanks to Hans Seegers and Jean-Pierre Mercier for laserdisc details and catalogue numbers and Michel Pomarede for scans. Thanks also to Larry Crum for checking these entries against his own collection, "Positively Bob Dylan" by Michael Krogsgaard, "Bob Dylan on Video" (article in "Record Collector" magazine, Sep 1992), and several other sources. All scans that aren't credited are from my own collection or www.amazon.com.

If you have any entries to add to the list or additions/corrections to existing entries, please let me know! Please note I cannot value your Dylan rarities - see the Mission page for reasons why. Contact the dealers on my Trading page for assistance!

1967


"Don't Look Back" - feature film directed by D.A. Pennebaker, released in theatres 1967, VHS video and Laserdisc releases (USA/UK), Aug 1986 onwards:
All occurrences of the film title omit the apostrophe, but my spell checker won't let me! This film was recorded during Bob's May 1965 tour of the UK. See 1981 for songs broadcast in "Retro Rock" radio programmes in 1981 about D.A. Pennebaker. D. A. Pennebaker also assisted Bob in making a TV documentary for ABC called Eat The Document about the May 1966 tour of the UK with the Hawks (see below).

This entry lists releases of the film in its original form on VHS and laserdisc. Music Content:

R-0666 Only A Pawn In Their Game - recorded live, Civil Rights Rally, Silas Magee's Farm, Greenwood, MS, 6 Jul 1963 (excerpt)
Thanks to Larry Crum for information about R-0666 - Silas Magee's Farm is thought by some to have been the inspiration for the title of Bob's 1965 song Maggie's Farm. I've included this separately from R-0043 because it doesn't belong to 1965.

R-0402 Don't Think Twice, It's All Right - live, City Hall, Newcastle, England, 6 May 1965
Following the release of
the 50th Anniversary Collection 1965 in Dec 2015, Bob Stacy has found this is actually Manchester, 7 May 1965!

R-0403 It's All Over Now, Baby Blue - sung to Donovan in a hotel room, Savoy Hotel, London, England, 8 May 1965

R-0404 It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) - live, Royal Albert Hall, London, England, 9 May 1965

R-0405 Talking World War III Blues - live, Royal Albert Hall, London, England, 9 May 1965

R-1909 Hard To Please - otherwise unreleased song performed on piano by Bob at 46:00. Thanks to Craig McCoy for information.

R-1911 All I've Got Is All I Want - otherwise unreleased song performed on piano by Bob at 46:00. Thanks to Craig McCoy for information.

"Eat The Document" - one-hour ABC TV documentary shot by D.A. Pennebaker, edited by Bob Dylan and Howard Alk, unreleased (USA), 1967:
This film was recorded by D. A. Pennebaker during Bob's May 1966 tour with The Hawks of the UK and France. It was originally commissioned by ABC TV in the USA for the TV series "ABC Stage 67". Thanks to Juan B. Heinink for the information that www.amazon.com were advertising a DVD release in the USA for 31 Dec 2005!


Picture from "TV Talkin'" web-site
This documentary film was edited from D. A. Pennebaker's footage by Bob and Howard Alk, but was never shown on TV as intended. It has had a couple of cinema showings, and excerpts have been included in many videos, both about Bob and about The Band and Robbie Robertson (see below and all other VHS & DVD pages). Excerpts also appear in the 2005 Martin Scorsese documentary "No Direction Home: Bob Dylan", see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 3. Pennebaker also made his own film of the tour called "Something Is Happening", which reportedly contains more performance footage than Eat the Document, but this too remains unseen. For a 2003 unauthorised DVD release of the documentary and a 2007 unauthorised DVD release containing the out-take with Bob and John Lennon in a London taxi, see Questionable Video.
Advert for screenings at the Museum of Television & Radio, New York, Oct-Nov 1998

Excerpts which have appeared in other videos are:

R-2184 I Still Miss Someone (Johnny Cash/Roy Cash Jr.) – jam with Johnny Cash, hotel room, Cardiff, Wales, 11 May 1966, from Eat The Document, 1967

R-0319 I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met) - recorded with The Hawks at Edinburgh, Scotland, 20 May 1966
Larry Crum thinks this is actually from Cardiff, Wales, 11 May 1966.

R-0472 I Can't Leave Her Behind [On A Rainy Afternoon] - song worked on by Robbie Robertson and Bob Dylan in a Glasgow hotel room, 13 May 1966 (see also R-0654 below)

R-0485 Baby, Let Me Follow You Down - performed live with The Hawks, Liverpool, 14 May 1966 (excerpt)
The full performance (R-1758) is included on the
Columbia/Legacy USA/Europe 36CD set The 1966 Live Recordings, Nov 2016. Thanks to Larry Crum for identifying this.

R-0654 On A Rainy Afternoon [I Can't Leave Her Behind] - work in progress in hotel room, Glasgow Scotland, 13 May 1966 (see also R-0472 above)
Both songs were copyrighted separately by Dwarf Music in 1978, but are really part of the same work-in-progress, and the titles are used misleadingly. The song identified as I Can't Leave Her Behind on the bonus disc with the DVD release of Martin Scorsese's 2005 documentary
No Direction Home: A Film by Martin Scorsese (see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 3 is actually the song copyrighted as On A Rainy Afternoon!
All the versions of these two songs (R-0472/R-0654) appear on CD18 of
The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 - Bob Dylan 1965-1966 The Cutting Edge Collector's Edition, see 2015.

R-0668 Ballad Of A Thin Man - recorded with The Hawks, May 1966
Larry Crum says this performance is made up of two parts, neither of which are from Glasgow 19 May 1966, as previously attributed. He says: "It is fairly obvious they are recorded at different venues if you look at the microphone setup. The first part (the intro and first verse) is Newcastle 21 May 1966 and the second part (the last chorus and the end) is Edinburgh 20 May 1966." This means that the Glasgow 1966 performance from the Columbia/Legacy
USA/Europe 36CD set The Live 1966 Recordings, Nov 2016, is no longer listed as R-0668! The Eat The Document performance reappeared in the 1996 TV series Dancing In The Street - A History Of Rock And Roll, see VHS & DVD 1995-99.

R-0719 Like A Rolling Stone - Live with The Hawks, Odeon Theatre, Newcastle, England, 21 May 1966
This video also appears on the DVD No Direction Home: A Film by Martin Scorsese, Paramount Pictures, 3 Oct 2005, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 3, where it's attributed correctly to Newcastle. Derek Barker says "The syncing and also the lighting angles plus the Bob's black shirt, all confirm that the video (as well as the audio) are from Newcastle. However, at around 1.45 - 1.55, shot from behind, you can see a green and white harlequin left shirt cuff! If it is the green and white harlequin shirt than that section of the clip can't be from Newcastle and must be from Cardiff, one of the very few places he wore that shirt. Also, the background lighting changes from deep red to light orange at different points during the performance." Peter Coulthard says "I think we all agree the audio on that video is all Newcastle. The film on the video is from at least 2 venues, there is no doubt about that. The vast majority of the film (close ups of Bob singing - black shirt etc) is from Newcastle. The film taken from the side and rear of the stage (and where other members of the band are featured) is unlikely to be all from Newcastle and may well be from 2 or more venues. Apart from the instances where it appears that Bob is wearing a different shirt (as Derek mentioned) there is a moment at approx 06:47 where Rick Danko is seen with a white shirt, just for a second or two. In other shots - Newcastle, I believe - his shirt is a dark colour. Mickey Jones can be seen wearing a tan jacket at the start - so not Newcastle- but is wearing black at the end when he departs the drum riser - Newcastle, I believe. Whether the second venue is Cardiff, well, it is certainly possible. And we shouldn't discount the possibility of a 3rd venue in that film." The video therefore may be a compilation of more than one performance, but the audio is all from Newcastle. On the Columbia/Legacy USA/Europe 36CD set The 1966 Live Recordings, Nov 2016, this performance is the last track on the Cardiff CD (CD11), while the real Cardiff performance is the last track on the Newcastle CD (CD25). Sound engineer Richard Alderson usually changed tapes before Like A Rolling Stone to ensure he caught the full performance, so performances of the song were on separate tapes on their own, which may explain why the performances were mixed up. Thanks to Derek Barker, Peter Coulthard and Roger Ford for help with this difficult problem! Because it's attributed correctly to Newcastle on No Direction Home: A Film by Martin Scorsese , with the information presumably coming from the Eat The Document records, the mix-up must have happened after Eat The Document was edited.

I haven't allocated R- numbers to the other song fragments. For full contents of this film and out-takes which circulate, see "Expecting Rain" or "TV Talkin'" . Thanks to Moise Potié for reminding me that the Dec 2006 Thunder On The Mountain video on Sony Music Box contains part of the out-take of Eat the Document showing Bob with John Lennon in a London taxi, see Online Performances (Other).

As far as I know there was never an earlier commercial release on VHS or other video media.

There are no extras of any kind on the DVD.

Information from Rob van Estrik: "The Festival! film, directed by Murray Lerner (from the generation of direct cinema directors to which D.A. Pennebaker also belongs) exists as 16mm prints only (2 reels) with a magnetic (mono) sound strip attached to the film. The film, shot in b&w, was first distributed in 1966 and is very rarely seen today, all surviving copies stored away at various local film archives. It is a very remarkable film as it very obviously serves as a forerunner to the festival films Monterey Pop and Woodstock in the same way these later bigger festivals followed the annual Newport Jazz and Folk festivals.

The film gives a very good impression of the folk music scene to which Dylan came and went and to which he belonged for several years. The editing is perfect, especially the build-up of the now historic scenes featuring Dylan’s 1965 electric appearance alternated with performances by traditional folk acts. Only from this footage and how it was edited for the film you can understand that Dylan had to force his way out of the scene by playing loud electric music."

Gil Walker adds "There is (or at least was) a longer version of the Festival! film which has been shown on at least a few occasions. I saw it at a special screening at the Yale Law School Film Society in, if I remember right, the fall of 1970. I'm as certain as I can be that it included "It's All Over Now Baby Blue"; and I'm pretty sure it included at least part of a second electric song -- probably "Phantom Engineer", since I'd have remembered "Like A Rolling Stone". Lerner is at least modestly prominent these days for his documentary Message To Love, about the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival, finally released in 1993." (see VHS & DVD Part 3)

Fontana 7401001 (USA, 2012) - front with stickers, scan by Manuel García Jara - contains overdubbed version of R-0069 with Bob replaced by the Avett Brothers!


Bob and Johnny by Jason Gluskin (2010)

Thanks to Michael Merchant for the original film poster scan. This poster was given to him by Bruce Elfstrom, son of the film's director Robert Elfstrom. It is about 22" x 14" and is numbered 69/347. The 1980 VHS video was deleted in 1981 (thanks to Larry Crum for this information). Larry Crum informs me his later VHS video, Goodtimes Home Video 8295, released 1992, has the title Johnny Cash: The Man And His Music - scans required! The UK DVD was originally released by Sanctuary in 2002, but then the Cherry Red Records version was released in the UK in 2003 with the same catalogue number as the US release, but yet another different cover (this is still available). The 2005 US DVD release again uses new artwork, this time in black-and-white.

Part of this film, including the Dylan footage, appeared in the 1984 documentary The Other Side Of Nashville (see VHS & DVD 1980s).

The audio soundtrack of this film was released in 1973 as a 2LP set but it dies not include R-0069. The painting on the left above of Bob and Johnny duetting is by Jason Gluskin (2010). For more details, see

Chimes Of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International, a charity 4CD set of Dylan covers to be distributed by Fontana on behalf of Amnesty International was delayed until 24 Jan 2012, but has now been expanded to a 4CD set of 73 songs. The album was released internationally on 30 Jan 2012. The set was not originally intended to include Bob, but will now contain his original recording of Chimes Of Freedom from Another Side Of Bob Dylan as track 18 on CD4. 70 of the songs are reported newly-recorded for this set, with all the artists and engineers working on a pro bono basis. Bob also recorded a duet of Chimes Of Freedom with Joan Osborne for the soundtrack of the US TV Series The '60s, see 1999. The anthology includes a posthumous mix of One Too Many Mornings by Johnny Cash with the Avett Brothers, based on R-0069. Bob's solo verses have been replaced by the Avett Brothers but he can still clearly be heard on the choruses. For full details, see 2012.

Thanks to Peter Gilmer, Freddy Ordoñez Araque and Fred Muller for information. Thanks to Jack from Canada for scans of the 2005 Sanctuary US DVD release. This was reportedly a remastered edition with bonus material, but the Dylan material appears to be unchanged.

The clip of Bob and Johnny singing One Too Many Mornings was included in the UK BBC TV documentary "The Heart Of Country: How Nashville became Music City USA", broadcast on BBC4 on Friday 7 Nov 2014.
 

Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music 190759965122 (UK) - front of card sleeve, picture from Badlands web-site
Jack from Canada says the take of Bob and Johnny released in Nov 2019 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 15 - Travelin' Thru 1967-1969 (Take 3 from 18 Feb 1969) is an alternate take to R-0069, and that track from the set is not listed in the booklet as having been previously released. Thanks to Michel Pomarede for identifying R-0069 as Take 2 from 17 Feb 1969. This has now been released in Dec 2019 on 50th Anniversary Collection 1969, a very limited 2CD set, so it remains a rarity (see 2019).
