Product Description

A documentary filmed in Britain in 1965, following 'The Pasha of Protest' (Bob Dylan) on tour. Dylan, dressed in leathers and with slicked-back hair, stands out from the denim-clad groupies around him in this document of the times.

Product Description

Release Date: Friday, 20 April, 2007 PG :- All Regions -- Regular 1.33:1 / 4:3 -- Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo -- Colour -- 152 Minutes -- PAL Boxset Content :- >>Disc 1 :- Bob Dylan -- Don't Look Back -Commentary by director D.A. Pennebaker and tour road manager Bob Neuwirth. -Five additional uncut audio tracks. -Alternate version of the "Subterranean Homesick Blues" cue-card sequence. -Original theatrical trailer. -D.A. Pennebaker filmography. -Bob Dylan discography. -Cast and crew biographies. >>Disc 2 :- Bob Dylan -- 65 Revisited -A new work compiled by D.A. Pennebaker from over 20 hours of never-before-seen footage. -Commentary by director D.A. Pennebaker and tour road manager Bob Neuwirth. >>168-page companion book including a complete transcription of the film, over 200 photos, and a new forward by D.A. Pennebaker. >>Collectible "Subterranean Homesick Blues" flipbook. In spring, 1965, Bob Dylan, 23, a pixyish troubador, spends three weeks in England. Pennebaker's camera follows him from airport to hall, from hotel room to public house, from conversation to concert. Joan Baez and Donovan, among others, are on hand. It's the period when Dylan is shifting from acoustic to electric, a transition that not all fans, including Baez, applaud. From the opening sequence of Dylan holding up words to the soundtrack's "Subterranean Homesick Blues", Dylan is playful and enigmatic. "This is a well-presented second look at the classic Pennebaker '60s classic. Has stood the test of time well and shows how interesting Dylan was then, off stage as well as on stage. The new second DVD is made up of 20 hours of previously unused footage. Accompanying 168 page book and memorabilia make for a very special package. Should make any Dylan fan happy."

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice little package. 19 May 2008
Format:DVD
Even if you're familiar with the original movie, this is well worth getting if you're a fan. The extra disk contains plenty of outtakes and some fine live bits that complement and illuminate the main feature. There's also a booklet containing a painstaking transcript of all the dialogue - not an easy task considering this is a documentary and not a scripted movie. Plus to round it all off there's a little flipbook of the "Subterranean Homesick Blues" video!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don`t look back, has he ever? 2 Nov 2007
Format:DVD
"Advertising signs they con you into thinking you`re the one, who can do what`s never been done, who can win what`s never been won, meantime life outside goes on alround you". So sings the Court Jester during the live performance of "It`s alright Ma, I`m only bleeding" ho,ho,ho. Has anything changed since then? Yes, Dylan himself, many, many times. The master of reinvention. Spokesman of a Generation, Judas to the Folk movement or the first Punk Rocker? Did Bob Dylan ever stand still?

The dramatic progress he made from Coffee House Folkie to Electric Rock Protagonist is unparalleled in Musical History, no one before or since has moved so far so fast. The most notable example of this trend is evidenced in the footage shot by D.A. Pennebaker shown here, much of which is actually one of the first examples of hand held camera work, that later became the vogue. Donovan performs in a hotel room to Dylan and his entourage, including Alan Price of the Animals, Joan Baez and Bob Neuwirth. Donovan`s song is simple, a pure rendition of "To catch the wind" a good folk song. Dylan responds with "It`s all over now, Baby Blue." Literally light years ahead lyrically, but as if to make a point, is performed in the same style of delivery as Donovan`s song. It is an embarrasing moment for the Bard`s desciple but just goes to show the gulf that exsisted between Dylan and his contempories.

The young Punk side of his character comes to light in the equally embarrassing interviews with The Science Student and The Time Magazine Journalist. Dylan is actually not as obnoxious as he appears, since he tries to explain to both parties, why he is berating them. He might as well be from Mars judging by their reaction.

This is the solo acoustic Dylan on tour in the U.K. in 1965 just prior to the infamous Electric performance with The Paul Butterfield Blues Band that you can catch on "The other side of the mirror" set. Chronicling all Dylan`s performances at The Newport Folk festival 1963-65. Don`t look Back precedes the as yet, offically unreleased "Eat the dcoument" and makes for interesting comparison between the tours of 1965 & 1966. An absolute must for any Dylan collection.

Was Subterranean Homesick Blues, with the throw away cards, the first ever Rock Video? Does anyone know the answer to that please? Worth the price of the whole DVD alone is that sequence. Although to be fair you may be rather more inclined to opt for the Delux Box Set release with the alternate version of this sequence and a D.A. Pennebaker Biography of the making of the film.

4.0 out of 5 stars Audio on disc1... 10 May 2010
Format:DVD
As soon as Subterranean Homesick Blues kicks in at the start I noticed that it's pitched higher than it should be. It remains like that throughout the whole of that first disc, the voices not sounding quite right throughout the dialogue too. I've tried it with VLC, WMP, thru my DVD/TV etc.

The second disc (65 Revisited) is fine though..

Is this the same for anybody else?!

Discovered Dylan, drunk at 2:00 am at a party in Sefton Park in 1967. Bought this for my son, who has discovered that the music of the sixties is far better than todays.
