This laserdisc for video jukeboxes had a white paper sleeve with the track listing on a card as shown.

R-0171-2 (Ain't Gonna Play) Sun City (Miami Steve Van Zandt) - album version (Side 1 - 7:09)
Thanks to Jack from Canada for information that this is the version included, and not the single version as previously listed, also for the scans.

Part of this video comes from The Making Of Sun City, broadcast on MTV in the USA, 13 Nov 1985. Larry Crum adds: "Dylan appears miming his line in Sun City (which is the same as album and single version) and briefly without sound walking down the street in The Making Of Sun City".

The Director's Cut uses Bob's music very differently from the original theatrical version - for example the vocal version of Knocking On Heaven's Door used in a death scene in the original film is replaced by an instrumental version and is missing from this release!

Only the Director's Cut is available on VHS video today, and nothing is available on DVD. Thanks to Jean-Pierre Mercier for the information that the Director's Cut on laserdisc includes the original theatrical trailer, which has a 30 sec approx excerpt of a version of Billy with Terry Paul on harmony vocals unavailable elsewhere.

Larry Crum adds: "I have a slightly different cover than your scan, with a 1 1/4 inch silver band at the top. I believe this is the original release-package design copyright 1989."

Thansk to Jack from Canada for the US VHS release scans. Thanks to Freddy Ordoñez Araque for information that a 2DVD set was released in the USA on 10 Jan 2006 with a "2005 Special Edition" version of the film on disc 1 and a "1998 Turner Preview Version" on disc 2  (see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 3). Exactly what Dylan music these two versions contain will be added when information is available.

Warner Home Video PES 50159 (UK): 1991 UK VHS release of 1986 Director's Cut, label scan by Hans Seegers

Warner Home Video SO 50159 (UK): 1997 UK VHS release of 1986 Director's Cut, insert scan by Hans Seegers (my copy is the same)

Warner Home Video SO 50159 (UK): 1997 UK VHS release of 1986 Director's Cut, inside of insert scan by Hans Seegers (my copy is the same)

Thanks to Hans Seegers for scans of the two UK VHS releases. My copy has the same insert as the 1997 copy submitted by Hans. The 1991 and 1997 dates can be discerned from the date the packaging is copyrighted. Only the 1997 release has the text "Director's Cut", but the earlier release is the same length. My copy of the 1997 UK release of SO 50159 has a different label from the copy owned by Hans. As my copy's label is closer to the 1991 label in design I'd guess Hans' copy is newer than mine - confirmation required.

The version of the song that plays over the film credits is longer and has a different mix from the single and soundtrack album version (R-0182). There is also a reprise in the middle of the film, and the song plays again over the closing credits.

This film, set in Florida, was produced by "Miami Vice" producer Michael Mann and directed by "Starsky & Hutch" actor Paul Michael Glaser.

The US NTSC VHS release has been out of print for some years, the UK budget PAL VHS release was only deleted in Jun 2002.

 This film, now described as an "infamous 1980s crime thriller" was released on DVD in the USA in 2003. The liner notes say: "Producer Michael Mann (Ali, The Insider) delivers an action-packed dose of high-octane fun in this infamous 1980s crime thriller, Band Of The Hand. Directed by Paul Michael Glaser (TV's Starsky & Hutch), the cast features awesome performances by future stars Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix), Lauren Holly (What Women Want), Leon (Above the Rim), James Remar (TV's Sex and the City), and James Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch). The killer retro soundtrack features the title track performed by Bob Dylan backed by Tom Petty's Heartbreakers

While serving time in a grueling rehab program in Florida's Everglades, five young felons bond together to form an unlikely union. When they return to Miami's dangerous ghetto, the five former criminals wage a lethal war on the drug kingpins who rule the underworld of murder and mayhem. Band Of The Hand goes for the jugular, never once loosening its grip until its heart-stopping climax!"

Shown are scans of two Japanese laserdiscs: CBS/Sony 78 LP 106 from 1986, and CBS/Sony 35 LP 118 from 1989. Thanks to Hans Seegers for scans of a unique Japanese item, a VHD format disk, which is rather like a large computer floppy disc in a jacket. For a picture of the spine of this disc, see hereI have never heard of this video format before, so have no idea what kind of player was required!

Thanks to Hans Seegers, Michel Pomarede and Jean-Pierre Mercier for information and scans.

R-0506-2 Excerpt from interview with Bob at Columbia Studios, Los Angeles, CA, 16 Dec 1965, also used in the 1979 video Heroes Of Rock & Roll (see VHS & DVD 1970s)

This clip was also used in the 2003 Ed Sullivan Show set "Rock 'N' Roll Forever" + Rock 'N' Roll Revolution" (see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 2).

Thanks to Larry Crum for information about this item. I previously listed R-0319, the 1966 live performance with The Hawks of I Don't Believe You, as part of this documentary - thanks to Larry I now know this is not included : "This contains NO Dylan music (my copy at least), only the interview segment (R-0506) about the number of protest singers where Dylan answers "about 136" and "either 136 or 142"."

R-0558 Had A Dream About You, Baby - Bob shares verses with Fiona (R-0193 soundtrack album version has Bob only)

R-0559 The Usual (John Hiatt) - second appearance in the film, played while auditioning the drummer who appears on the cover of the West German VHS copy (below right)

Thanks to Jean-Pol Hiernaux for scans of his UK VHS copy, which has a barcode on the insert, mine doesn't. Thanks also to Larry Crum pointing out the differences between the versions of The Usual and Had A Dream About You, Baby in this film and the soundtrack album, resulting in new R- numbers.

Guild Home Video 8519 (UK) - VHS release insert (my copy)

This video contains a clip of Bob singing Mr. Tambourine Man. Larry informs me that the sound is from the album version, while the visuals look as if they're from Don't Look Back. He adds: "The audio is not quite perfectly in sync with the video. Also the video cuts away to stills of Bob from different eras while some lines of trivia appear on the screen.  There is even some polite applause dubbed over the end of the song. The live footage only lasts about 1 minute 20 seconds."

Thanks to Larry Crum for information about this item and to Barry Dunnings for the scan.

This is obviously a wrong year recording that has been used in this video - photos from the packaging shown in the Sep 1992 "Record Collector" article mentioned at the top of this page include a picture of Bob from this performance!

Thanks to Dag Braathen and Larry Crum for information about this item. Larry says: "I have a US video from 1992 with this same title (different packaging) that contains no Dylan but does have 11 out of 16 tracks in common with the UK version. Perhaps copyright problems prevented the Dylan track from being included. However, I have now seen the Japanese release of this video, and it does contain the Bangladesh version of Blowin' In The Wind."

Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans of the Japanese laserdisc, which also contains Blowin' In The Wind, and has a yellow front information sticker but no obi. The artwork doesn't include the 1971 picture of Bob.

Bob makes an uncredited cameo appearance as an chainsaw wielding "sculptor" in this film starring Dennis Hopper and Jodie Foster (see the top pf this page for picture). He is on screen for only a couple of minutes, although he has a few lines of dialogue.

The film was directed by Dennis Hopper, although the theatrical version is now credited to "Alan Smithee" because of disputed cuts made by the studio. In the UK and USA Hopper had his name now only on the out-of-print "Director's Cut". The UK DVD is sadly the edited version, although Bob's contribution remains in full!

Thanks to Larry Crum for the information.

Thanks also to Franck Faugere for the scans of the French DVD, which is 101 mins as opposed to 95 mins for the UK version. Dennis Hopper is listed as the director, and Bob is credited on the front of the jacket! I'm told the original Hopper version was substantially longer than this, however.

For Bob's appearance in another Dennis Hopper film, see Flashback below.
