DVD Reviews of Bob Dylan - World Tour 1966: The Home Movies

DVD Review: They're Booing Once Again
Summary: 4 Stars

Now, the ONLY documentation of that ground-breaking tour is being booed once again. Will we the audience never learn? Will perhaps the most significant event in 1960s Rock & Roll ever been seen and appreciated for the happening that it was?

This isn't a "professional" documentary, nor does it ever claim to be. It is home movies by one of the band members of that incredible, earth-shattering tour, of Bob Dylan's career when I feel he was at his peak. So far, this is the only footage available of Bob Dylan doing things HIS way, and doing them like no one else before or since! For that alone, I am grateful.

Mickey Jones is an entertaining fellow with some wonderful stories and I personally got a kick out of this DVD. There's a ton of great inside information on this DVD, and for the first time in my life, someone FINALLY explained to me where "The Band" got their name from and why!!!

While there may not be much music on this DVD, nor even much about Bob Dylan himself, there doesn't need to be. This DVD is about Bob Dylan forming an electric band and the tour that followed. As of today [early 2004] this is all we've got.

I learned a great deal watching this DVD. I feel I understand Dylan better, and I know I understand the 1960s better after watching this DVD. While this DVD may drag the story out slightly, I do have to say that I feel that it should be required viewing for all serious fans of Rock & Roll. To not know the infamous stories of Bob Dylan being booed while he jams the greatest music of his career is to not fully grasp the story that is Rock & Roll.

So thank you Mickey Jones, for sharing your wonderful stories with us fans. You're a great story teller and a fun host. I would love to sit down with you and chat about playing with Bob Dylan and about that incredible tour one day. You're a class act in my book sir! Thanks.
