This second part of the list collects non-album song performances and interviews by Bob Dylan on VHS video and DVD (and laserdisc where I have information) from 1970 to 1979. I would be grateful for any additional information on these items and other material to place here. Video material included on CD-ROMs or CD Plus discs is still in the main directory in the appropriate part. For 1970s films with Dylan album tracks, see VHS & DVD: Films with Dylan Album Tracks 1970s.

Films are listed by date of original appearance (in theatres or on TV), not when the VHS video or DVD came out, often some years later. This page does not include songs from regular albums that appear in films or videos without performance footage, nor do I include music videos of standard album tracks - for a full Dylan filmography, see "Expecting Rain" or "TV Talkin'"

For informed discussion of all Bob's screen appearances, see C.P. Lee's well-received book "Like A Bullet Of Light".

Thanks to Jean-Pierre Mercier for laserdisc details and catalogue numbers and Michel Pomarede for scans. Thanks also to Larry Crum for checking these entries against his own collection, "Positively Bob Dylan" by Michael Krogsgaard, "Bob Dylan on Video" (article in "Record Collector" magazine, Sep 1992), and several other sources. All scans that aren't credited are from my own collection or www.amazon.com

If you have any entries to add to the list or additions/corrections to existing entries, please let me know! Please note I cannot value your Dylan rarities - see the Mission page for reasons why. Contact the dealers on my Trading page for assistance!

R-0074-3 Nashville Skyline Rag - version with Earl Scruggs on banjo and Bob on guitar, recorded at Tom Allen's home, Carmel, NY, 1970 (video)

R-0445 East Virginia Blues [traditional] - Earl Scruggs on banjo and Bob on guitar, recorded as R-0074 (video)

This film was broadcast on National Education TV in New York on 10-17 Jan 1971 as Earl Scruggs Performing With His Family & Friends.

The audio of R-0074 was first released on the Columbia album Earl Scruggs Performing With His Family & Friends in 1971 (see 1971). This album appeared for the first time on CD on a "2 on 1" Flatt & Scruggs re-release with 1972's Nashville Airplane on Collectable Records in 2000. The version of East Virginia Blues that appeared as the B-side of a single from the album, Lonesome Ruben (see 1971) has now been confirmed as different from R-0445!


Possibly the same material with yet another title! Picture found by Freddy Ordoñez Araque

R-0074, R-0445, and other performances from this session were released in Nov 2019 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 15 - Travelin' Thru 1967-1969:

Earl Scruggs Interview (The Home of Thomas B. Allen, Carmel, New York, 17 May 1970, Mono)

Nashville Skyline Rag (The Home of Thomas B. Allen, Carmel, New York, 17 May 1970) (audio of R-0074 above)

Larry Crum informs me that Michael Krogsgaard dates the New Line Cinema VHS release as 1985, but the date in the white band below "VHS FORMAT" is definitely "MCMLXXVIII" (1978) - perhaps it was reissued in 1985. (If so, I'd like scans of that release.)

Thanks to Freddy Ordoñez Araque for details of the US DVD release called The Complete Earl Scruggs Story. This is now confirmed as the same material despite the new (misleading) title, as is Earl Scruggs, His Family & Friends: The Private Sessions. Thanks to Jean-Pol Hiernaux for information that this was also released in Germany as Alpha Centauri Entertainment ACE 11612 B (Region 0) using the Complete Earl Scruggs title. Thanks to Tricia Jungwirth for the information that the original 90 min film is now available on DVD and VHS as a private release by film maker David Hoffman - for more details, see https://thehoffmancollection.com/ads/Scruggs/Dylan.htm. Thanks to Tim Dunn for finding yet another current US release from Goldenlane Records, on sale at Barnes & Noble.

Thanks to Paul S. Levine for the picture of the Varied UK PAL DVD release, which is now available. Jack from Canada has a copy of this DVD as Delta 94136. The title is actually The Complete Earl Scruggs Story: Earl Scruggs, His Family & Friends. Thanks to Moise Potié and Bill Hester for pictures of Japanese and New Zealand DVD releases - more information required.


1972


George Harrison & Friends - "The Concert For Bangladesh" - Apple feature film, Mar 1972, VHS Video: Thorn-EMI TVD 90 0911 2 (UK), Aug 1983; Apple/Paramount 15167 (USA), 1993; Warner Home Video PES 038084 (UK), 1990; Laserdisc: Apple/Paramount LV 15167 (USA/Canada), 1995; DVD: Panorama Music Video PMVDVD-902032 (Hong Kong and Macao only), 1998:


Argentinean film poster, picture found by Sergio Mariano Romay

All songs were recorded live with George Harrison, Leon Russell and Ringo Starr, Madison Square Garden, New York, 1 Aug 1971 (evening show). The two concert performances in New York City in Aug 1971 were organised by George Harrison to raise international awareness and fund relief efforts for refugees from Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan) and the Bangladesh Liberation War. All profits from the sale of albums and videos go to the George Harrison Fund for UNICEF. The video release omits Mr Tambourine Man (R-0078) from the Apple 1972 soundtrack album (see 1972). For the 2005 expanded DVD edition, which contains new Dylan material, but still not Mr. Tambourine Man, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 3. Arie de Reus thinks that when he saw the film on its first release in 1972 on a special large screen Mr. Tambourine Man was included, and that pre-release information for the VHS release in 1983 said that Mr. Tambourine Man would be included. However, no commercial release of the show has ever included it so far! Can anyone else remember seeing the film including Mr. Tambourine Man in 1972? Ian Woodward says he has the original press pack from the 1972 screening, which lists the songs, and Mr. Tambourine Man is not included. Jenni Barrett says a video of Mr. Tambourine Man claiming to be from the Concert for Bangladesh was available on the Internet, but is no longer available. However, Tom Willems has found a review in Dutch newspaper "De Volkskrant" from 15 May 1972. The review was written by B.J. Bertina after seeing the movie in Cannes. He mentions two songs played by Bob Dylan in the movie as being exceptional: Blowin' In The Wind and Mr. Tambourine Man. It would therefore seem that Mr. Tambourine Man was indeed in preliminary showings of the film, but not retained for the theatrical release and all subsequent commercial VHS/DVD etc. releases.

R-0484 If Not For You - a short clip of Bob and George Harrison performing this song early in the film, not included on the soundtrack album
This song is included in full in the extras on the 2005 expanded DVD edition, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 3.

R-0075-2 A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall
This performance also appeared on a 1983 compilation from Columbia Brazil, The Legend, see 1983.

R-0076-2 It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry
This performance also appeared on a 1995 Westwood One radio station broadcast about Dylan and the Beatles, see 1995.

R-0077-2 Blowin' In The Wind
This performance also appeared on an Epic promo CD single for The Concert For Bangladesh, see 1991. Dag Braathen informs me that, despite the fact it's a 1971 performance, R-0077 was also included on a 1988 VHS video called Rock 'N' Roll -The Greatest Years: 1963, see
VHS & DVD 1980s.

R-0079-2 Just Like A Woman

HBO Video 2379 (USA) - VHS front scan by Steven Fant

Thanks to Jack from Canada for the scan of the UNICEF Betamax format tape cassette - this must have been a promotional version distributed to members of UNICEF in 1983 when the video was first released.

Thanks to Steven Fant for scans of two almost identical VHS releases, probably from 1983 also. Both have the catalogue number 2379, but one is from HBO Video and the other from Thorn EMI (the parent group of Apple Records).

The UK VHS release has now been deleted, but the concert was released on DVD in an expanded edition in the USA and UK on 24 Oct 2005, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 3. Thanks to Paul S. Levine for the picture of the Oct 2005 US DVD. Thanks to Alexandre Froemming for the 2002 Brazilian DVD shown. This is a Region 0 release, almost certainly unauthorised by Paramount.

MGM/UA Home Video M201567 (USA) - VHS release, front scan by Jack from Canada (1986 Director's Cut)

The original video of this film released in 1982 was withdrawn in 1987 in favour of the 1986 "Director's Cut", see VHS & DVD 1980s. The 1986 Director's Cut was replaced in its turn in 2006 by two versions on a 2DVD set released in the USA on 10 Jan 2006: a "2005 Special Edition" version of the film on disc 1 and a "1988 Turner Preview Version" on disc 2, for both see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 3.

To complicate matters, Criterion Collection released a multi-disc 4K/Blu-ray edition on 2 Jul 2024. This release contains three versions of the film: the "Final Preview Cut" (122 mins, new), the Original Theatrical Release (106 mins, remastered), and the "50th Anniversary Release" (117 mins, new)! See VHS & DVD 2020s. Exactly what Dylan music these new versions contain will be added when the films have been analysed.

Bob Dylan/Rolling Thunder Revue - "Hard Rain TV Special" - NBC-TV special (USA), broadcast 14 Sep 1976:
Recorded live with the Rolling Thunder Revue, Fort Collins, CO, 23 May 1976 (during hard rain!). This show has not been commercially released on VHS or DVD but is included here for completeness as six of its performances have been officially released on albums (two as rarities). It deserves a media release, hopefully in an expanded form including the full concert.

The one-hour TV show tracklist (not in the order actually performed on stage) was:

A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall - otherwise officially unreleased, surprisingly not included on the Hard Rain album!

R-0221 Blowin' In The Wind - duet with Joan Baez, officially released on her 1993 Vanguard boxed set Rare, Live & Classic, see 1993

Railroad Boy (Traditional) - duet with Joan Baez, otherwise officially unreleased

Vanguard VCD3 125-127 (USA, 1993) - box front (my copy with R-0221)


Razor & Tie 7930183035-2 (USA, 2009) - front of digipak with sticker (my copy with R-0757)

R-0757 I Pity The Poor Immigrant - duet with Joan Baez, now officially released on the Joan Baez Razor & Tie CD and DVD How Sweet The Sound, see 2009 and VHS & DVD 2000s Part 4.

Shelter From The Storm - included on the Hard Rain album

Maggie's Farm - included on the Hard Rain album

One Too Many Mornings - included on the Hard Rain album

Mozambique - otherwise officially unreleased

Idiot Wind - included on the Hard Rain album

As this has never been released commercially I haven't allocated R- numbers to the unreleased songs. It's reported that Bob's Fort Collins performances with Joan Baez featured in the 1976 Hard Rain TV special could not be included on the Columbia album because of contractual difficulties, so were replaced with Dylan performances from Fort Worth, TX, 16 May 1976. Thanks to Dag Braathen for information that the TV special was shown on BBC TV in the UK on 28 Sep 1976 as part of the "Old Grey Whistle Test" series (I watched it, but sadly didn't tape it).

The full concert tracklist from Olof Bjoerner's Bob Dylan Chronologies web-site:

1978


Bob Dylan with The Rolling Thunder Revue - "Renaldo & Clara" - 4 hour/2 hour feature film written and directed by Bob shown in cinemas in 1978, Artificial Eye/Lombard Street Films (USA), Jan 1978:


US film poster found by Jack from Canada
Renaldo & Clara lasted for over four hours, and was very badly received by critics. It had only a very short cinema release, even in a badly chopped-down two hour version. The full film was shown on TV in the UK and Sweden in 1985. It has never been commercially released for home viewing, although pirate copies exist in varying quality, all taken from the European TV broadcasts.

A still from the film - "Renaldo" performing

However, this film contains about 43 minutes of amazing concert footage of Bob in concert with the Rolling Thunder Revue in late 1975, and is worth re-releasing on DVD for that alone! Some of this footage appeared in 2002 on the bonus DVD with the Limited Edition of The Bootleg Series Vol. 5 - Bob Dylan Live 1975: The Rolling Thunder Revue.

Although a soundtrack album was never released, a Columbia promo four-song 12" EP 4 Songs From "Renaldo And Clara was released in the USA to coincide with the showing of the film in cinemas (see 1978). Two of these songs have now been released on CD, live performances of Isis on Biograph (see 1985), and It Ain't Me, Babe on The Bootleg Series Vol. 5 - Bob Dylan Live 1975: The Rolling Thunder Revue (see 2002).

Thanks to Moise Potié for finding the Japanese cinema booklet. Most films shown in cinemas in Japan have these information booklets on sale in the foyer while they're being screened. Thanks to C P Lee and Jack from Canada for the US, UK and French film posters. Thanks to Wiebke Dittmer for the picture of the promo EP bag with the Italian film poster design found on eBay Germany. The text advertises the two hour version of the film.

Thanks to "Isis" magazine for news that Martin Scorsese's documentary Conjuring The Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese will now be released on Netflix on 12 Jun 2019. There will be screenings at selected theatres in the USA on 11 Jun 2019. As well as the accompanying 14CD set called Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1975 Live Recordings the 3LP set The Bootleg Series Vol. 5 - Bob Dylan Live 1975: The Rolling Thunder Revue was re-released in a remixed/remastered form. For details of the 14CD set see 2019.For details of the documentary film see VHS & DVD 2010s. There is considerable overlap between the 1978 film, the 2019 film and the 2019 14CD set, and I have now allocated separate R-numbers to all the Dylan performances in the 1978 film as well as in both 2019 releases.

Thanks to Bob Stacy for information that Nurse's Song (William Blake/Allen Ginsberg) was one of the songs recorded with Bob at the Ginsberg sessions in Nov 1971, and that version of Nurse's Song is included on Allen Ginsberg's Omnivore Records 3CD boxed set The Last Word On "First Blues" (R-1648, see 2016). Allen Ginsburg's original 1983 First Blues double LP (see 1983) does not contain Nurse's Song. There are two versions of Nurse's Song on CD3 of Allen Ginsberg's 1994 CD boxed set Holy Soul Jelly Roll: Poems And Songs 1949-1993 (see 1994) - Nurse's Song (Experience) (track 9, 2:07) and Nurse's Song (Innocence) (track 21, 7:12), but Larry Crum says neither include Bob. Allen Ginsberg also performed Nurse's Song at PBS-TV Studios, New York, on 30 Oct 1971 with Bob on guitar, but that performance remains officially unreleased.

The Rutles - "The Rutles" TV broadcast 22 Mar 1978, VHS video: Pacific Arts PAVR 540 (USA), Laserdisc: (catalogue number?)  (USA), Oct 1983:
This was renamed All You Need Is Cash for later releases, see below.
Thanks to Larry Crum for this information.


Picture from eBay

R-0520 Harold Lepidus informs me this Beatles spoof originally released in 1978 contains a clip from the 1969 Isle of Wight Festival with Bob and The Band on stage. Apparently Bob is just shown for a second, possibly reaching for something behind him, there is no audio.

"A year later the Rutles were caught up in another scandal. In the heady atmosphere of San Francisco of the mid sixties, Bob Dylan had introduced the Rutles to a substance that was to have enormous effects on them: Tea. They enjoyed its pleasant effects, despite warnings that it would lead to stronger things, and it enormously influenced their greatest work, Sgt. Rutter's Only Darts Club Band."

This last concert by The Band (in their prime incarnation) took place at Winterland, San Francisco, CA, 25 Nov 1976, and was filmed by Martin Scorsese. A "Director's Cut", longer than the commercial video (USA - 117 mins, UK - 112 mins), has reportedly been shown on TV in the UK. For more information on these releases, including a full track listing, see Jan Hoiberg's Band site

For details of the 3LP film soundtrack album, see 1978. The original album omits the performance by Bob and The Band of Hazel (the song from Planet Waves), which was apparently not filmed. This film omits the first performance of Baby Let Me Follow You Down (R-0140) and I Don't Believe You (R-0141), which were also not filmed. For details of the Rhino Records 4CD boxed set which adds Hazel, see 2002. For details of the Special Edition of the film released on DVD in 2002 in the USA with additional material, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 1.

R-0142-2 Forever Young - version with second verse missing - the Rhino Records 4CD boxed set has the full version (R-0630, see 2002)

R-0143-3 Baby Let Me Follow You Down ((Rev Gary Davies, arr. Eric von Schmidt) - reprise
Thanks to Larry Crum for pointing out that the video performance of this track has more of the intro riffs than the edit on the audio releases (see 1978 for the 3LP set and 2002 for the 4CD boxed set). This is also true of the performance on the 2002 DVD, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 1.

R-0144-3 I Shall Be Released

R-0142/0143 - Bob Dylan with The Band; R-0144 - Bob Dylan with The Band and ensemble.

R-0140 (Baby Let Me Follow You Down) and R-0141 (I Don't Believe You) from the soundtrack album are missing from the film itself - apparently on Bob's instructions, his performance was only filmed from R-0142 onwards. Thanks to Fred Muller from New Zealand for pointing this out.

Scans of the US laserdisc release required.

Thanks to Jack from Canada for finding a picture of the very rare 1981 RCA SelectaVision CED VideoDisc release of this film. CED (Capacitance Electronic Disc) was a short-lived video format that was sold in the USA between 1981 and 1986. The 12" LP-sized discs were housed in a hard plastic cartridge (much like a giant Sony MiniDisc), which was inserted into the player. The discs were played by a stylus, like an LP. The cartridges had labels pasted on the top and bottom. Scans of this item (which is probably the only CED release featuring Bob) required. (An RCA CED sampler disc, not shown, included Neil Diamond's performance from this film, but not Bob's.)

1979


"Heroes Of Rock 'N' Roll" - TV broadcast, ABC Network (USA), 9 Feb 1979:
Bob Stacy and Larry Crum have queried whether this was ever released on commercial video.


US 40th Anniversary poster from T. J. Jenkins
This program was a two hour TV movie that played on American broadcast television on the ABC network on 9 Feb 1979. It was never released commercially on VHS or other formats. There was a 40th anniversary screening that was specially prepared and exhibited to an audience on October 25, 2019 in Beverly Hills, CA, for which the poster is shown.

R-0506    Excerpt from interview with Bob at Columbia Studios, Los Angeles, CA, 16 Dec 1965

R-0319-2 I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met) - recorded with the Hawks at Edinburgh, Scotland, 20 May 1966, from the unreleased documentary Eat The Document (see above)

This R-0319 clip was also used in the 1987 video The Fabulous 60s Vol. 7 (see VHS & DVD 1980s), and also appears in the 1994 Robbie Robertson video Going Home (see VHS & DVD 1990s Part 1), and in the 1996 boxed sets The Golden Age Of Rock 'N' Roll and Dancing In The Street (for both see VHS & DVD 1990s Part 2). R-0506 was used in the 1990 documentary John Hammond: From Bessie Smith To Bruce Springsteen (see VHS & DVD 1990s Part 1), and the 2000 documentary Hendrix (see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 1). Both clips were used in the 2003 Ed Sullivan Show set "Rock 'N' Roll Forever" + Rock 'N' Roll Revolution" (see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 2). Larry Crum thinks this is actually from Cardiff, Wales, 11 May 1966.

This programme also contains a clip of Subterranean Homesick Blues from Don't Look Back, see VHS & DVD 1960s. Fred Muller adds: "At the start, before the opening credits with the juke box, there's about 30 seconds of a close-up of Dylan in concert, in colour, in what would seem come from one of the Rolling Thunder shows, doing the first verse of Just Like a Woman." This would be from the film Renaldo & Clara, recorded at Harvard Square Theater, Cambridge, MA, 20 Nov 1975, see above.

Thanks to Bob Stacy, Larry Crum, Fred Muller and T. J. Jenkins for information and picture.
