Caught on Camera
This DVD has extraordinary clear images--and I played the DVD on a $50 Walmart TV and a $30 Magnavox DVD player in a room where NBC comes in poorly no matter what TV I use or move around in there. <

>This legendary press conference is a must buy-- a real keeper. This is good for those trying to catch up with the 60's as well as young people learning about this living legend. I really give it 7 points out of 5. This DVD gives a glimse of the person, Bob Dylan, at the peak of his 60's career, his youth, and of course a glimpse into the roaring 60's. <

>I was truly mesmerized and fascinated in watching this press conference. <

>As soon as Bob Dylan walks in and sits down, he quickly steals the show. Throughout the conference, he is alert, relaxed, unasuming, expressive, and playful (in a nice way). He quickly answers questions sometimes with deep insights uncommon for his young age. He demonstrates intelligence beyond his years, charm, poise, style and humor. He is the Star of the show, without any doubt. He never raises his voice in irritation or defensiveness even to the most stinging questions. At one time an ash escapes his lit cigarette and Dylan playfully searches for it on his lap and about, and a reporter apparently irritated at his cute antics tries to gain control of the show by shooting a stinging question at Dylan to which he quickly responds with great poise and dignity without any trace of irritation which immediately puts him back in control of the show. It is fascinating to watch! (in another DVD Dylan (in a more informal setting) has a more passionate exchange with a reporter, but that was okay. In this case the setting was more formal and Dylan mastered it to perfection. <

>He fidgets a tiny bit and smokes a lot, but surprisingly, this only adds to his charm rather than the opposite. (smoking is 100% wrong today--these were different times). <

>There are gorgeous close-ups with amazing detail. He was truly very good looking with gorgeous eyes. I never realized how stunning he really was at that age until now! GEE Wiz! I was only a teenager until the end of the 60s and the first record I ever bought of Bob Dylan was Lay Lady Lay (don't kill me "since '64 fans") (I now have lots and lots more records from him and trying to catch up with all that was going on back then). So kids, if you see him today aged beyond his years, remember he was once young, with extraordinary talent enough to outshine millions of people. <

a must see for dylan fans
a hilarious tour-de-force by bobby of one of his legendary press conferences from the 60s: the only one caught in its entirety on film. the mind boggles at some of the simplistic queries posed, not to mention the contempt in which reporters frequently held dylan. of course, he matches them in the contempt level and verbally outspars all comers, while attempting to frequently turn the conversation to a serious discussion of his music -- before another stupid question sets off another riff on the absurd. this is for bob dylan fans only, but for them it is a huge treat.

Dylan is Brilliant!!!
The quality of this film is great, the other clips from it, that I have seen in the past were always grainy and just overall poor. This one however is magnificent. Bob is so sure of himself, as he should be, and he is just totally screwing with the morons that are asking the questions! It's wonderful to see Bob in action!
