COLUMBIA/LEGACY ANNOUNCES THE EXCLUSIVE DVD RELEASE OF:
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MIRROR – BOB DYLAN
LIVE AT THE NEWPORT FOLK FESTIVAL 1963 – 1965

Available October 30, 2007

Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings will release on DVD, for the first time in any format, The Other Side Of The Mirror – Bob Dylan Live At The Newport Folk Festival 1963 – 1965, on Tuesday, October 30. A long-awaited event for Bob Dylan aficionados, The Other Side Of The Mirror brings together more than 80 minutes of exquisitely filmed performances, 70% available here for the first time, drawn from three seminal years in the artist’s ever-evolving career.

Produced and directed by Academy Award winner Murray Lerner (From Mao To Mozart: Isaac Stern In China), The Other Side Of The Mirror – Bob Dylan Live At The Newport Folk Festival 1963 – 1965 opens a window into a critical epoch in American cultural history as reflected in the musical transformations of Bob Dylan’s galvanizing watershed performances at the Newport Folk Festival in 1963, 1964, and 1965.

“This is a different kind of film, in a sense, from what I usually make,” said Murray Lerner. “We decided on no narration, no pundit interviews, no interviews with Dylan. Nothing except the experience of seeing him… That to me is exciting. Just the clear experience gives you everything you need.”

The DVD includes liner notes from Grammy-winning author Tom Piazza.
