DVD Reviews of The Other Side of the Mirror: Bob Dylan Live at Newport Folk Festival 1963-1965
DVD Review: SUPERIOR DOCUMENTARY BY MURRAY LERNER
Summary: 5 Stars
I never saw or heard Bob Dylan before this documentary. What was I doing in the sixties when this film was made and Dylan was becoming a star: I was busy working to earn a living. Do/did I understand what this audience was feeling about themselves and the world: No, I was years over thirty and had already performed my military service in an earlier war than that which the young men in these audiences were so terrified over the possibility of being drafted to serve in. Does that mean I did not enjoy this documentary: not at all; while the sentiments expressed by Dylan and the folk singing tradition were both quite familiar to one who was a child in the thirties and a college student in the forties, Lerner, who is of the same vintage as I, was able to surmount time and place, by an admirable job of filming and editing, letting the performances speak for themselves.dI would certainly recommend the film for those too young or too old to have shared the experience, as well as those who can relive a part of their youth here.DVD Review: Bob Dylan's Evolution
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this DVD as a gift for my boyfriend and, as soon as it arrived, we watched it together. Looking back to the mid-1960's, via this DVD, made me realize how far we all have come! Dylan looks like he is little more than a kid when he first started performing at this folk festival. His growth, as a musician, was phenomenal in this short period of time between 1963 to 1965. It is unfortunate that the festival attendees could not understand what they were witnessing at that time. Hopefully, they understand now.DVD Review: dvd

The dvd The Other Side of the Mirror, Bob Dylan Live at Newport Folk Festival 1963-1965 is awesome. It's such a beautiful piece of history and a record of this incredible poet/artist/singer/songwriter's outlook on life, and what he gave to all of us and is still giving!
DVD Review: It's a No Brainer - It doesen't get better than this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Without saying more - this is El Primo buy it, buy a copy for your best friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I can see why 1/3 of the crowd booed when he went electric.
He is the best folk singer of all time. He made his name on the poetry and the unique delivery. It's not that he was bad as a rock act. But the audience couldn't hear the brilliant words due to the volume of the backup band.
They paid to see the brilliant genius playing acoustic and wailing. Coming out with a different style was a big turnoff. It would be like going to a Stones concert and
Mick singing opera!!!!!!!!

Description of The Other Side of the Mirror: Bob Dylan Live at Newport Folk Festival 1963-1965
The Other Side of the Mirror - DVDFew performances in history are as legendary - or as controversial - as Bob Dylan's 1965 appearance at the Newport Folk Festival. In a single, galvanizing instant, Dylan plugged an entire generation in, forever changing not only the way the music was made, but the way it was heard. By putting you in the audience for Dylan's Newport performances from 1963 through that pivotal set in 1965, Academy Award?-winning director Murray Lerner's The Other Side Of The Mirror captures Dylan's metamorphosis from the folk family's best-kept secret to rock's fiercely confrontational poet who would electrify an entire nation and become the voice of his generation.

Bonus Feature: Interview with director Murray Lerner
Matched only by the Beatles and Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan continues to captivate music and pop culture fans with a seemingly never-ending stream of new and old recordings, books, documentaries, feature films, and more. The Other Side of the Mirror - Live at Newport Folk Festival 1963-1965 is a worthy addition to the canon; whether this 83-minute compilation will serve to illuminate the Dylan myth or merely perpetuate it is open to question, but without a doubt there's plenty of fascinating material here. There are nearly 20 songs represented, covering three consecutive years of Dylan appearances at the famed Rhode Island festival. Some have been seen before (most recently in No Direction Home, Martin Scorsese's 2005 Dylan doc, and in Festival, a Newport chronicle released on DVD that same year and directed by Murray Lerner, who is also responsible for The Other Side of the Mirror). Some are from Dylan's daytime "workshops," others from his nighttime main stage performances. Some are complete, others oddly truncated. Some are terrific (like "Chimes of Freedom," 1964), others not so much (cf. the turgid "With God on Our Side" from '63, with Joan Baez adding shrill harmony). In any case, these were the years when Dylan assumed the mantle of "spokesman of a generation," whether he wanted it or not. We see him evolving from the earnest young protest singer of '63 to the visionary artist of the following year who, with the astonishing torrent of rhymes, alliterations, symbols, and brilliant turns of phrase in "Chimes" and "Mr. Tambourine Man," turned the whole notion of songwriting on its ear. And, of course, we also witness Dylan's turn from acoustic to electric guitar, when he was joined onstage by members of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band (sans Butterfield himself) in 1965; only two songs from that legendary (and, at the time, infamous) gig are seen here, and viewed four decades after the fact, neither "Maggie's Farm" nor "Like a Rolling Stone" is all that special, notwithstanding some searing solo work by guitarist Mike Bloomfield. The DVD package, which includes a bonus interview with Lerner and a nice booklet with liner notes by Tom Piazza, adds to the appeal of what has to rank as a must-have for Dylanologists of every stripe. --Sam Graham
