- Watch an artist be...artsy
I am fascinated time and time again how incredibly weird Bob Dylan is. I watched the interview, impressed with his every word. It was shorter than I'd hoped, but it was just a press conference.
I think this interview shows the Dylan that wasn't just going to play along with everybody's game. He wasn't going to be this stooge of an artist, grateful for all his fans and his fame and his money. He didn't care about what a journalist is going to write about him, or what some guy reading the article ... Read More
Rating: - Fun.
What you get here is an hour of Bob Dylan answering questions. Is it worth ten bucks? Oh, you betcha.
I don't think a single Dylan documentary exists that doesn't pull footage from this particular press conference. During this period, he was young, feisty, enigmatic, charming, cocky and brilliant. Not much has changed over the years (save the young part), but this is a period in history where Bob couldn't escape the hounding press and actually seemed to be having a bit of fun with the whole ...

- NOT "for Dylan fans only" --
For those not in existence at the time, here's an opportunity to see that we, as fans of the era, didn't know: that Dylan, The Beatles, and everyone else who was a famous performer at the time, was constantly asked the same questions, over and over and over again, by "reporters" who didn't read the prior several newspaper articles, or interviews, and thereby learn the questions had been asked, and answered, one or more dozen times, during one or more dozen prior press conferences.Thus we were treated to ...

Rating: - dylan speaks is AWESOME!
IF you are a Bob Dylan fan, then this is a must see!!!I have read MANY of his books so I was aware of several topics that were addressed. But, if you would like to see Bob as a vulnerable young star in all his glory, you will truely enjoy this candid interview - his only public address - He is only 21 yrs old here and spectacular.It may not be for a casual fan; this if for a true "die hard"!Enjoy!
Rating: - A Great Time Capsule of Both the Era and Bob
It's impossible to watch this gorgeous print and not be charmed by Dylan's humor and (obvious?) nervousness at having to perform in front of a crowd that ranges from the weirdly obsessive to the completely clueless.While Dylan the singer has been documented on tape and film more than any other artist in rock history, this very unusual public appearance shows a side of Dylan that has rarely been seen over the 45 years of his fame.Sure he blows a good bit of smoke, and yet between the quips he takes the ...
