Bob Dylan - 1966 World Tour: The Home Movies on DVD
Monday, 28 August 2006
www.sohood.com
For the first time on home video, musician turned actor Mickey Jones chronicles the legendary 1966 Bob Dylan World Tour through his recently discovered home movies! With a set of drum sticks and his 8 mm color home movie camera, Mickey Jones toured the 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 - when Dylan traded in his acoustic guitar for an electric sound. This new version includes new, exculsive interviews with Charlie Daniels discussing his 1970’s Dylan album recordings, Johnny Rivers and Trini Lopez discussing Dylan’s influence on their music, 1966 World Tour soundman Richard Alderson on the tour sound, and Mickey Jones with new revelations, including the surprising truth about Play F#@%ing Loud!", contradicting the conclusion in Scorcese’s No Direction Home.

Thats been out over here for quite some time. A year at least I would think. Is this a new release in the US or something?
Its not as great as one would hope. More Mickey Jones than Dylan, unfortunately. A bit surreal to see footage of Dylan from 40 years ago just outside the building where I now work and am sitting right now, however! |

Well...I don't know...I checked the date on this review again. Maybe these guys aren't very time sensitive.

there has been much rehashing of stuff lately including a 5 hour RTR/Gospel DVD and Tales From A Golden Age.
the best one to get though is the DONT LOOK BACK OUT TAKES

I have this DVD. It blows. Boring.
The '66 tour footage found in "No Direction Home" is far superior. This DVD is for completists only.
Rating: Avoid |

The footage in "No Direction Home" is indeed great but it kept me longing for more. It proved that there was excellent footage in existense of the famous "Royal Albert Hall" concert. Now if only it could be released in its entirety... |
