Rating: NR UPC: 767685982433 Manufacturer No: AAE-9824 Amazon.com essential video: Both a classic documentary and a vital pop-cultural artifact, D.A. Pennebaker's portrait of Bob Dylan captures the seminal singer-songwriter on the cusp of his transformation from folk prophet to rock trendsetter. Shot during Dylan's 1965 British concert tour, Don't Look Back employs an edgy vérité style that was, and is, a snug fit with the artist's own consciously rough-hewn persona. Its handheld black-and-white images and often-gritty London backdrops suggest cinematic extensions of the archetypal monochrome portraits that graced Dylan's career-making early-'60s album jackets. Pennebaker's access to the legendarily private troubadour enables us to witness Dylan's shifting moods as he performs, relaxes with his entourage (including then lover Joan Baez, road manager Bob Neuwirth, and poker-faced manager Albert Grossman), and jousts with other musicians (notably Animals alumnus Alan Price and Scottish folksinger Donovan), fans, and press. It's a measurement of the filmmaker's acuity that the conversations are often as gripping as Dylan's solo performances. Grossman's machinations with British promoters, Baez's hip serenity, a grizzled British journalist's surrender to the fact of Dylan's artistry, and the artist's own taunting dismissal of a clueless sycophant are all absorbing. With the exception of the studio recording of "Subterranean Homesick Blues," the live performances (including five newly restored, complete audio tracks excised from the original film but included on the DVD version) are constrained by crude audio gear. Their urgency, however, is timeless, as is Pennebaker's film, a legitimate cornerstone for any serious rock video collection. --Sam Sutherland Average Rating:
 Rating:  - the definitiveThis documentary has everything you need to know about Dylan, without all the bourgeois intellectualizing. Forget all the books written about him, or other documentaries. Scorsese's No Direction Home is a merciless ripoff of DA Pennebaker, molded into a more narrow-minded view of the artist. I've tried reading a couple of bios and can't stand all the interpretations and re-interpretations of the artist and his songs. This film, which was way far ahead of its time when first released, ...

Ties is a great documentary as instead of people talking about each other you get a candid look at the artists, on and off the stage. I was surprise to see such a young Joan Baez and it was fun to listen to her and Bob singing Hank Williams' songs. Just as I was about to be disappointed because other than "Subterranean Homesick Blues" I thought ... Read More Rating: - Bob RealityGet to know the beginning of a monumental career, and the musician who created it, in this insightful and direct telling of a bit of Bob Dylan's early tour life. This is great! Rating: - Must have DVD for Dylan fansAbsolutly a great DVD. This concert tour was the last before he went on his "electrial" tour. Both DVDs are excellent. This flim puts you right in the middle of the tour in England. If you enjoy the music of Bob Dylan, especially his early years, this is a DVD set you will play over and over. Rating: - the best oneIf you have to bye only one Bob Dylan DVD, please choose DON'T LOOK BACK DeLUXE EDITION,simply because it's wonderful. You can see an artist in his best performance who tries not to look cool because he is the quintessece of cool. Dylan in the 60's is the wish of any artist to be......... an unforgetable DVD, from the GREATEST AMERICAN ARTIST OF THE 20TH CENTURY.......... |
