Bob Dylan: 1963-65 DVD

Bob Dylan WAS the man. Maybe if he would listen to most of his fanbase and give a little back with some acoustic playing he could cover up that voice he is trying to sing with today. With ur acoustic Bob,u can be as weird as u want. With ur electric or keys, ur wasting ur time. That being said, this little DVD looks interesting. RIP BOB.........you've been gone in my book

Show some respect dude! This DVD looks more than interesting - it looks like a visual documentation of arguably the greatest festival ever with the greatest songwriter ever performing. His voice was never that of Sinatra, and it's certainly continued to decline. But that's what's great about Bob Dylan. Even the virgins know the voice, however bad it may be now or at other times throughout his career, and then they learn to appreciate the lyrics.

I'll definitely buy this and try to pretend Newport didn't happen 15 years before I was born.

Oh, and Modern Times freaking rocks! Long live Dylan!

I absolutely agree with you linsbee 314. Bob is one of our nations greatest lyricists of all time and he's still around to enlighten us. That's COOL! Just think what a Dead show would have been like without Dylan's lyrics. So many of the covers that they did were written by Mr. D himself! Oh yeah...and Modern Times is one of the better albums by anyone in the last few years. Diggit?

cool

Holy shit!! This is remarkable!! If I'm not mistaken, this is THE Maggie's Farm, where Dylan gets booed for using an electric band!! Talk about a revolutionary moment in American culture...

And now I can own it on DVD. Technology never ceaces to amaze me.

I'd also like to add that what an artist decides to pursue is his own choice. I'd hate for him to put out a piece of shit just because his fans want it. It's his art. Whether that entertains you or not is your preference.

and I like his surreal style more than the more straight folk sound

saw him the other day and had a blast

i was the only one dancing in my whole section

to the naysayers

get off it

if u cant respect him for who he was and who he still is today

ur a foolish child

i saw some dousch bag college age kids bashin him at the concert

what do u expect

obviously not a lead singer his age

get a fuckin clue moron

that said

go c bob

him and the band are fuckin great

i was @ dylan in bloomington, il at the US Cellular Coliseum the last weekend (10/20/07). the show was amos lee (with band), elvis costelo (solo, acoustic) & dylan & his band. i also was the only one dancing in the entire building until the last 5 songs of dylan's set. the show was great but the venue was beyond ridiculous. we were on the floor in the second to last row on the end. during amos lee i stood up in front of my chair and started to bounce. security came over and told me to sit down so they could get people in to their seats, i reluctantly agreed and sat down. then set break then elvis; everyone got up, clapped and set back down, except me and my friend. about halfway through the set security came back over and told us that we were obstructing the view of the people behind us. not wanting to get into an incident i was pulled back into my seat. so dylan finally comes on and it's the same situation; stand up, clap, sit back down. a couple songs in he starts don't let that deal go down. at this point i'm getting mad at the whole situation and decide that i paid as much as everyone else and i'm going to have a good time. so i get up and start bouncing again when not 1 minute later a uniformed cop comes up to me and says "you've been warned twice already. if you continue to dance i'll take you out of here and downtown." i asked him if dancing at concerts was illegal and he forcefully told me "sit down and enjoy the show." thankfully once one of the old electric tunes started, i think maggie's farm, more people got up to dance and a small group got together behind the soundboard. while we were over there we saw a kid get taken out in handcuffs for smoking a cigarette, bloomington is a no smoking town.

other than that the music and people were great. can't wait to see dylan again.

Wow! Bloomington...what a shithole!

How could anyone not want this? Dylan on dvd is magical! Just downloaded Eat the Document. Awesome!!

i dont know how there can be DYLAN HATERS, there shouldnt be such thing. DYLAN is one of the greatest influence for everything out right now.

IM GETTIN THE DVD! HELL YEA

This will be great. Talk about classic footage. Emmylou Harris said it best: "Even if you don't like Dylan, you love at least one artist who does". Long live The Bard.

Dice!
