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 ".

When Blu-ray titles were originally released they were region-free, but now they are also region-encoded, with North and South America as Region A, Europe/Australasia/Africa as Region B and Central Asia including China as Region C. This is a very retrograde step!

"1971 The Year That Music Changed Everything" - Apple TV series, available in the USA May 2021:
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:
1: Excerpt of George Jackson Acoustic version accompanying footage of George Jackson's funeral
The entire episode provides a great background and context for this song.

"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 and the band of new musicians played well 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 Bob's regular band. The location of the show is given as the "Bon Bon Club, Marseilles, France", but this is entirely fictional!

![]() 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. |
