1966 and 1974 World Tours. In this film, Feinstein and Director Joel Gilbert chronicle these epic Bob Dylan tours, featuring over 150 selections of Feinstein's finest portraits - most revealed for the first time - in this extraordinary document of Bob Dylan and rock music history. For the years in between, Gilbert visits Woodstock and Greenwich Village, New York, where he investigates Dylan's secluded life before his return to the road in 1974. Gilbert recreates the singer-songwriter's 1966 motorcycle accident, pays a visit to Big Pink, examines Dylan's first encounter with The Beatles, and even confronts fanatic Dylanologist A.J. Weberman. Interviews with filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker, rock journalism godfather Al Aronowitz, Band drummer Mickey Jones and surprise guests help reveal Bob Dylan's hidden history behind Feinstein's astonishing images.

world in 1966 with Bob Dylan and The Band. He captured on film what became known as the tour that changed Rock and Roll forever. The booing crowds, the scathing reviews, the stomping feet, the infamous cry of Judas!. All of this in response to Dylan trading in his acoustic folk guitar for a hard edged, electric sound.The Royal Albert Hall CD, Live 1966 remains the only commercial release from the 1966 Bob Dylan World Tour. Now, for the first time on home video, musician turned actor Mickey Jones chronicles the legendary 1966 Bob Dylan World Tour through his recently discovered films.

attraction ofBob Dylan World Tours 1966-1974, a labour of love directed and produced by Joel Gilbert. Gilbert, leader of a group (called Highway 61 Revisited) that he bills as "the world's only lookalike, soundalike Bob Dylan tribute band", is obviously a Dylan fanatic (and he does bear a passing resemblance to a younger version of the singer). In the course of this two-hour documentary, he travels to Woodstock, New York, where he and Barry Feinstein, the official photographer on Dylan's trips to England in '66 (when he unveiled his new electric sound, to the dismay of many folk purists) and his '74 "comeback" tour with the Band, examining dozens of photos, many of them quite revealing. Elsewhere, Gilbert interviews journalist Al Aronowitz (who introduced Dylan to the Beatles), filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker (who shot theDon't Look Backdocumentary), and "Dylanologist" A.J. Weberman (a genuine kook who gained notoriety mainly by rummaging through Dylan's garbage). These encounters are only of passing interest, due both to the fact the subjects are recalling events that took place decades ago and to Gilbert's amateurish interviewing skills; asking Feinstein whether he gave Dylan a birthday present, or wondering if Weberman considers himself "an obsessive fan" (gee, do you think?) may not be the best way to elicit fascinating revelations. WhileBob Dylan World Tours 1966-1974, which also includes an exceedingly lame "re-creation" of Dylan's late-'60s motorcycle accident and a visit to "Big Pink" (where Dylan and the Band recorded), was made without Dylan's participation and contains none of his music, it's obviously a sincere effort. Whether it will find favor with anyone other than Dylan completists is another matter entirely.--Sam Graham

Advantages: Masterfully edited, full of astounding footage both familiar and otherwise...a classic. Disadvantages: None.
Martin Scorsese's brilliant documentary tracing the progression of BobDylan from endearingly awkward Duluth teenager to other-worldly, speed-fried Icon is as stunning a piece of work as any of the director's classics, and leagues above most of his output from the preceding decade.
Utilising a wealth of revelatory, rarely-seen footage and interview material, No Direction Home is, for the first half at least, as much about America in the pause-for-breath moment between the beat writers of the 1950s and the counter-culture student movements of the mid-to-late 1960s as it is about the life and work of Robert Zimmerman. It is - clichéd as it sounds - a sweeping, engrossing portrait of a time and of a place, scouring the terrain leads from the rattle-tattle zap-pow gyrations of Ginsberg and Kerouac to the pound pound pounding of Odetta ...
Advantages: Great Set That Offers An Interesting Insight Into One Of The Most Interesting Eras In His Career Disadvantages: Mainly For Fans, But May Offer An Incentive To Get Into Him For Those Who Aren't
As you may have seen from some of my other reviews, i am a huge fan of BobDylan's work, and as such this is the film for someone like me, but then even if you are just getting into him, or simply want to find out about the sixties and how his career started then take a look at this.
The film documents Dylan's rise from student to rock icon, beginning in the 1950s and continuing up until his motorcycle accident in 1966, which may seem quite a short period of time, but in the life of BobDylan, this is simply one small part of it. The story of this part fo his early career is told through his music, along with others, and interviews with both Dylan himself and some of the people that knew him from that era, such as Joan Baez, Suze Rotolo and Allen Ginsberg. They each provide an interesting take on his life and the man he was, often ...
Advantages: Appeals to folk and rock fans, and is simply a great set of songs Disadvantages: Not as focused as other Dylan albums
'Bringing It All Back Home' is simply great. This album harnesses both the developed acoustic skill of BobDylan, and the beginning of his rock and roll legacy.
Released at a time when many people longed for the acoustic folk of the BobDylan of the mid 60's, the ever dynamic and stubborn BobDylan expressed his frustration and displayed his genius through the medium of rock and roll. 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' is a perfect example on this album of the fantastic songs Dylan produced with his blues rock sound while he maintained his complicated and unique lyrical ability.
However, the album harbors songs like 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue' and 'Mr Tambourine Man', which can be more closely likened to earlier acoustic Dylan work. Amongst Dylan's versatile amalgamation of acoustic folk and rock one constant remains - the sheer lyrical ...
In 1966, armed with his home movie camera, Mickey Jones toured the world with Bob Dylan, here are his own recordings of that time.

DVD Description
Actor Mickey Jones (TV's Home Improvement, TIN CUP), was a renowned drummer in the 1960s, playing with Trini Lopez and Johnny Rivers. 1966, however, saw him travelling the world with Bob Dylan and The Band on their legendary tour (documented on Dylan's recording LIVE 1966), which saw Dylan making his controversial transition from acoustic guitar to electric. While on the road, he took a good deal of 8mm color home movie footage, which was lost for many years. Here, that footage is made available for the first time, presenting an intimate look at Dylan both on stage and behind the scenes. Jones provides the narration, while the soundtrack comes from Dylan tribute band Highway 61 Revisited (no official Bob Dylan music is included in this presentation).
