Bob in Civil War disguise from the video of 'Cross The
Green Mountain from the 2003 DVD release of Gods And Generals
This second part of the 2000s list collects non-album song performances and interviews by Bob Dylan on VHS video and DVD (and laserdisc where I have information) from 2003-04. 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. Unauthorised documentaries or compilations of performance footage are now included in Questionable Video. For 2000s films with Dylan album tracks, see VHS & DVD: Films with Dylan Album Tracks 2000s.
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 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 amazon.com

"Rock 'N' Roll Forever" + "Rock 'N' Roll Revolution" [Various] - 2 DVD/VHS set, Ed Sullivan Show (catalogue numbers?) (USA), 2003:
![]() US DVD release - Region 1 |
Even though Bob never actually appeared on the Ed Sullivan
show (because they wouldn't let him perform John Birch Society
Paranoid Blues), this compilation of 1960s clips from the show includes him!
Hans Seegers informs me that the Dylan content is an interview clip (when asked how many folk
protest singers there are Bob replies
"136":
R-0506-4 Excerpt from interview with Bob at Columbia Studios, Los Angeles, CA, 16 Dec 1965 This clip is definite: R-0319-9 I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met) - recorded with the Hawks at Edinburgh, Scotland, 20 May 1966, from the unreleased documentary "Eat The Document" R-0506 also appears in the 1990 documentary John Hammond: From Bessie Smith To Bruce Springsteen (see VHS & DVD 1990s Part 1). Both R-0506 and R-0319 were also used in the 1979 video Heroes Of Rock & Roll (see VHS & DVD 1970s), and the 1987 video - The Fabulous 60s Vol. 7 (see VHS & DVD 1980s). R-0319 also appears in the 1994 Robbie Robertson video Going Home (see VHS & DVD 1990s Part 1, and in the 1996 boxed sets The Golden Age Of Rock 'N' Roll and Dancing In The Street (for both see VHS & DVD 1990s Part 2). Thanks to Hans Seegers and "HwyCDRrev" for information. Thanks to Larry Crum for the information that the excerpt of R-0319 shown here includes "the ENTIRE last verse, but not the instrumental break included in the Going Home VHS release." |

Joni Mitchell is of course Canadian! (A long-standing friend of mine was
at school with her in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, when she was Roberta Joan
Anderson.) This 92 min documentary contains some footage of Dylan at Newport
and from Don't Look Back. For the 1967 film, see
VHS & DVD 1960s, for the 2000 DVD release see above. There is also a scene
where Joni sings along to Bob's record of Positively 4th Street. Both are in
the segment called "Greenwich Village/Laurel Canyon". Fred Muller says: "About 20 minutes in, there's a brief portion in which she mentions Dylan and how "Positively 4th Street" opened the doors to songwriters: now they could write about anything. On the soundtrack one hears the first lines of Bob's single with Joni emulating it - I think the two recordings were superimposed afterward. On-screen there are snippets from "Don't Look Back" (Dylan at the typewriter, side-on and from behind) and of him in his Newport polka-dot shirt. I'd guess the latter few seconds come from the soundcheck footage in the "Festival!" documentary. This whole sequence lasts about 30 seconds." |

R-0603 'Cross The Green Mountain - second edit of original song from film version of Gods And Generals, Feb 2003 (3:38) Thanks to "LostTreeLane" and Gino Galvez for the information that the song is edited. "LostTreeLane" adds: "I just saw Gods And Generals and thought I'd let you know that, interestingly, when 'Cross The Green Mountain plays over the closing credits, it's neither the full length version nor the video edit. It's yet another cut somewhere in between the two: after the "avenging God" line, it goes directly into the final verse: "I'm ten miles outside the city"." As the film is 219 mins long, the DVD is double-sided, with the film and extras on both sides. Side 1 of the DVD also contains this video as well as : R-0601-3 'Cross The Green Mountain - edit of original song from video (3:10) This video was recorded in Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, VA, on 23 Nov 2002. Thanks to "HwyCDRrev" for the information that an "advance screener" of this DVD was being distributed in early Jun 2003 by Warner Home Video - this has no artwork in the packaging or on the DVD itself, and no extras. For details of the film soundtrack album with the full 8:12 version of the song (R-0586), see 2003. Thanks to Juergen Wasser for scans of the Russian release of this film. This is in English with Russian subtitles. Thanks also to Stanislav Tomik for scans of the Czech Republic/Slovakia release and to Jack from Canada for scans of the US DVD double feature including the previous film "Gettysburg" (which is later chronologically).

Thanks to Arthur Louie for the original list. Thanks to Jay Powers, Michael Smith and Trevor Gibb for corrections and further information. Thanks also to Tim Dunn for information about the US VHS release, which is apparently full-screen (4:3) - the DVD is widescreen (16:9/1.78:1), and to Ian Woodward for advance information about the UK release. Thanks also to Stefan Weber for information about the UK Region 2 release and to Fred Muller for the Australia/New Zealand release. Thanks to Stanislav Tomik for scans of the Czech Republic/Slovakia release, retitled "Inkognito". Thanks to Artur Jarosinski for scans of the Polish release of this film. This is in English with Polish subtitles. The title change is bizarre, to "Jeźdźcy Apokalipsy" ["Horsemen Of The Apocalypse"]. Thanks to Michio Kinoshita for scans of the Japanese release.
Keith Venturoni tells me the UK version of the DVD has a unique full length performance of Cold Irons Bound. This is confirmed by Dag Braathen, who provided scans of the UK DVD plus a screenshot. Dag adds: "UK playing time of the movie track: 1hour41min53sec, US playing time of the movie track: 1hour 46min27sec. The documentary is 6 minutes longer on the UK release, it has more behind-the-scenes footage of Dylan and interviews with the band members, also has a short clip of performing If You See Her Say Hello performed in the same setting as Dixie and I'll Remember You. There is indeed a full performance on Cold Irons Bound." The DVD chapter division on the UK disc is quite different from the US disc! There are 28 chapters in the US film (also in the Australia/New Zealand version), but in the UK film there are 18.
When he was on holiday in South Africa Fred Muller saw a copy of the Masked And Anonymous DVD with a different cover yet again - scans required!

Thanks to Fred Muller for the following information about the Dylan content: "A series of stills of Dylan at Newport in 1965 (afternoon soundcheck with polka-dot shirt) is shown about halfway through the film, during an interview with Marshall Chess. The soundtrack has an excerpt of the live Newport recording of Maggie's Farm at that point. Immediately thereafter there's about 15 seconds of monochrome film of Dylan with the band members, presumably shortly after the show. It seems to be slowed down somewhat and Dylan holds a wine bottle to his left ear as the camera pans away from him." Thanks to Jack from Canada for scans.

R-0337-14 End Of The Line
(Traveling Wilburys) - from
the 1988 Wilbury Records/Warner Bros. album The Traveling Wilburys Volume
One, see Traveling
Wilburys 1988 This song is most appropriate for a film starring Tom Hanks about a man stuck in an airline terminal for months! Thanks to Tim Dunn for information about this film. This song was featured in the TV and theatre trailer but is sadly not on the film soundtrack album, which features only music by John Williams. The US DVD release is available in three versions: "Widescreen", "Full Screen" and "3 Disc Collector's Edition", which includes the soundtrack album. According to Jack from Canada the song is not used in the actual film, and was only in the trailer! The standard DVD Widescreen edition does not include the trailer, so has no Dylan content, but it may be in the "Collector's Edition". Information required! |
