TV Talkin' - Bob Dylan on Film and Television

TV Talkin' is dedicated to celebrating the film and video record of the career of Bob Dylan. It has evolved from my own interest in Dylan, which started at the Blackbushe Aerodrome concert on 15 July 1978 (I went to see Eric Clapton and came away a Dylan convert). Since then I've bought the records, read the books and gone to more concerts. Importantly for me, I've also collected the rare film and television recordings that Dylan has made. There's a completeness about being able to see as well as hear Dylan that is essential, in my view, for a full appreciation of his work as a performing artist. Like so much to do with Dylan, it's not something I could exactly put my finger on and define, but there's a resonance in person or on film that's often missing from the purely audio recording.

My aim is for tvtalkin.com to be the premiere resource on the Internet for information about Bob Dylan's television and film appearances. I've excluded Audience Video from TV Talkin' lists as there's simply too much of it to do it justice in these pages. The quality is also highly variable, though you can say the same about much of the so-called 'professional' film! Enjoy!
