This new page collects non-album song performances and interviews by Bob Dylan on DVD from 2010 onwards. 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. Unauthorised documentaries or compilations of performance footage are now included in Questionable Video. For 2010 onwards films with Dylan album tracks, see VHS & DVD: Films with Dylan Album Tracks 2010s.
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 ".

Kino Lorber K25641 (USA) - DVD front scan by Jack from Canada |
There is no Dylan music in this film but while the picture of Bob, Karen and Fred Neil at the Café Wha in New York in 1961 is shown the soundtrack has an excerpt about Karen from the Chronicles Volume 1 audio book: "My favourite singer in the place was Karen Dalton … she could sing like Billie Holiday and play guitar like Jimmy Reed". There are also some shots of Bob in New York in 1961 taken by John Cohen. The pictures of Bob at Newport in 1963 and on the Steve Allen Show in Feb 1964 are shown with Karen’s daughter Abralyn Baird relating that Bob came to visit Karen and they played a few tunes, giving each other tips on technique. |

If Not For You - Bob and George Harrison performing this song at the
rehearsals for the Concert for Bangladesh
This is an edited version of R-0723, but different from R-0484, see below.
André Wilbers has analysed the clip and found it is a merging of two parts, the beginning of the performance and the end of the performance. This is not the same as the R-0484 excerpt.
Previous occurrences of this performance are:
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, see VHS & DVD 1970s
R-0723 If Not For You - Bob and George Harrison performing the full version of the song at the rehearsals for the Concert for Bangladesh, from the 2005 expanded DVD edition of The Concert For Bangladesh, Oct 2005, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 3 (full version of R-0484)
Episode 5 also contains Dylan-related footage:

Bob Dylan's "Odds And Ends" is a new two-hour film made up of archival interviews, promotional videos, and documentary shorts.

It has verses 1, 2 and 6. Versus 3, 4 and 5 are omitted. Take 3 is originally 5:49 in length, but the track for the music video is about 3:07. This will be given a new R-number.

"Shadow Kingdom" - Veep Productions film, available in the USA 18 Jul 2021 onwards:
 Picture from www.bobdylan.com |
On 16 Jun 2021 bobdylan.com announced Shadow Kingdom,
an exclusive online broadcast event that took place on Sunday 18 Jul 2021 at
2 p.m. PT (10 p.m. British Summer Time). Bob performed songs from his
extensive body of work "in an intimate setting". In my opinion Shadow Kingdom was a triumph, even though it only lasted 50 minutes! Some people have criticised the presentation but Bob's singing was excellent on very recognisable versions of the songs. The film was directed and edited by Israeli film-maker Alma Har'el, the woman who directed 2012's "Bombay Beach" (in Southern California, not India) with three Dylan songs, see VHS & DVD (Films with Dylan Album Tracks) 2010-19. It is my hope it will be released as an official DVD/Blu-ray/CD some time. Rumour has it that as it mostly featured Bob's early songs there will be two more episodes with songs from different periods. Bring 'em on! |
 Columbia 19658767481 (USA) - 2LP set, picture from Record Store Day web-site |
The band on stage was Alex Burke, Shahzad Ismaily,
Janie Cowen, Buck Meek and Joshua Crumbly. However, it is reported that these
young musicians only mimed and the tracks were actually recorded in a Los
Angeles Studio in May 2021 with different performers. The location of the show
is given as the "Bon Bon Club, Marseilles, France", but this is entirely
fictional! The tracks are rumoured to have been recorded at Village Studios in
West Los Angeles, CA, where Planet Waves was recorded in Nov
1973. The actual performers were: Greg Leisz (guitar, dobro, mandolin and pedal
steel guitar), Jeff Taylor (accordion)Tim Pierce (guitar), T-Bone Burnett
(guitar), Ira Ingber (guitar) [also played on Something's Burning, Baby and
Danville/Brownsville Girl during the Empire Burlesque
sessions], Doug Lacy (accordion), Don Was (bass).
Set list:
When I Paint My Masterpiece; Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I’ll Go Mine); Queen Jane Approximately; I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight; Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues; Tombstone Blues; To Be Alone With You; What Was It You Wanted?; Forever Young; Pledging My Time; The Wicked Messenger; Watching The River Flow; It's All Over Now, Baby Blue, Sierra's Theme.
R-2355 Sierra's Theme (2:07) - previously unreleased instrumental from Shadow Kingdom, online broadcast 18 Jul 2021, recorded Los Angeles, CA, May 2021
Because the 2023 CD/LP audio version of this release has been added to the bobdylan.com Albums Page, the previously listed R-numbers are now unused. Only R-2355 remains a rarity because the 2023 audio version of this instrumental is 4:23 in length.
There were 33 songs recorded in total, and out-takes include: Dignity; If Not For You; If You See Her, Say Hello; Love Minus Zero/No Limit; Oh Sister; Saving Grace; Shooting Star; Simple Twist Of Fate.
The Ionic Originals may be out-takes from these sessions because they and this were engineered by Mike Piersante.
Sonny Boy McFitzson speculates that Alma Har'el or someone from the filming management suggested "How about adding videos to the recordings?".
Thanks to André Wilbers for his outstanding help. Thanks to Fred Muller, Sergio Mariano Romay and André Wilbers for news that the audio from this performance will be released as a 2LP set in the USA on Record Store Day, 22 Apr 2023, see 2023. It will be released in Europe on vinyl and CD on 2 Jun 2023. The Shadow Kingdom video will be available for download or rental from 6 Jun 2023, but unfortunately not as a Blu-ray or DVD.

 Picture from www.hollywoodreporter.com |
Thanks to Jack from Canada for information about a new Joan Baez documentary directed by Karen O'Connor, Miri Navasky and Maeve O'Boyle with Dylan footage. In the film, Joan Baez talks about her first meeting with Bob Dylan and their performing together. She was already a star on the folk scene when she met the young, then-unknown Dylan in 1961; they later became a couple. The film features archival footage of Joan bringing Dylan onstage during her concerts in the early days, when her fans often booed Dylan because they only wanted to hear her. |

The "50th Anniversary Release" and Original Theatrical Release are on Disc 1, the "Final Preview Cut" and Special Features are on Disc 2.
The "Final Preview Cut" doesn't include the vocal version of Knockin' On Heaven's Door, but the "50th Anniversary edition" does. The "50th Anniversary Release" is a similar length to the “2005 Special Edition” but one scene has been added, lines of dialogue added to several scenes, and one scene removed (this scene is still in the “Final Preview Cut”). Also, the "Final Preview Cut" has significant differences from the "1988 Turner Preview Version" and 1986 "Director's Cut".
One of the special features includes a clip of Bob during the Rolling Thunder Revue.“Dylan in Durango” with Clinton Heylin contains two excerpts from Romance In Durango, Harvard Square Theater, Cambridge, MA, 20 Nov 1975, with Bob dedicating the song to Sam Peckinpah, who is in the audience. This is not a rarity, as it was previously released on The Bootleg Series Vol. 5 - Bob Dylan Live 1975: The Rolling Thunder Revue, Nov 2002, The Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1975 Live Recordings, Jun 2019 (Disc 6) and the film Rolling Thunder Revue - A Bob Dylan Story By Martin Scorsese, also Jun 2019. Another feature "Champlin on Film" has an interview with James Coburn from 1988 and includes three clips from the film, all with Dylan music.
The special features also include
the original theatrical trailer, which has a 30 sec approx excerpt of a version
of Billy with Terry Paul on harmony vocals then unavailable elsewhere (probably
one of the extra versions of Billy on
50th Anniversary Collection 1973,
see 2023).
Apart from
this,
as
far as I can see the two new 2024 versions contain all the available footage
between them.
For releases of the original film see VHS & DVD Releases 1970s. For the 1986 "Director's Cut", see VHS & DVD 1980s. For the two disc DVD release from 2005, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 3.
