Not a man generally considered an orator or a raconteur, Bob Dylan more usually lets his music and lyrics do the talking. And -- apart from a period early in his career when he adopted a rather facetious and cheeky persona, funny at the time but wisely dropped by his mid-20s -- he might be considered a bit of a recluse when it comes to speaking in public or to the media. The contents of this fascinating DVD therefore may well come as a pleasant surprise...

Description
A two part documentary on the fascinating career of Bob Dylan in the early sixties. Scorsese's film chronicles the early years of Dylan, collecting clips of the singer-songwriter from 1961-66, as he went from being a rising star on the New York City folk scene to one of the country's greatest protest singers to, in the words of one irate concertgoer, a "Judas" for plugging in and going electric.

"In 1975, in an America defined by both the self-mythologizing pomp of the upcoming bicenntenial and ongoing sociopolitical turmoil, Bob Dylan and a band of troubadours -- including luminaries such as Joan Baez, Allen Ginsberg, and Joni Mitchell -- embarked on a now-legendary tour known as The Rolling Thunder Revue, a freewheeling variety show that was part traveling counterculture carnival, part spiritual pilgrimage. Director Martin Scorsese blends...
