Bob Dylan: TV Live and Rare '63-'75
1965 was a pivotal year in Bob Dylan's career. In the early part of the year he released 'Bringing It All Back Home' the first album that saw him move distinctly away from his folk music origins and in the summer he followed it with 'Highway 61 Revisited' an out and out rock 'n' roll album and the single 'Like A Rolling Stone' hit No.2 on the US charts. His appearance at that year's Newport Folk Festival saw him use an electric guitar on stage a hugely controversial move at the time that saw him booed by much of the audience. Against this background Dylan went into the studios of TV station KQED in San Francisco for a broadcast press conference his only one from this era ever to be filmed.

Each segment of the 97-minute special is introduced by famous cohorts, from series regulars such as ex-husband Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance, and Gale Gordon to sometime co-workers like John Wayne, Sammy Davis Jr., and Dick Van Dyke. Although she lived another 13 years after this special was made and had a fourth go at a TV series, this programme captures the most brilliant moments of her trademark physical comedy. The red-haired queen of American comedy appears at the end when Jimmy Stewart gives her an honorary plaque, making for a nostalgic moment.

In January 1961 Bob Dylan arrived at Greenwich Village the very place for a folksinger-poet. The Village had already gained a reputation for Bohemian ways and had given birth to a generation of beatniks courtesy of a generation of beat poets including Allen Ginsberg. It was in the Village s clubs that the early protest songs that became the anthems of the protest movements were written and it was here that he honed his craft playing alongside other legendary figures such as Dave Van Ronk and Tom Paxton. It was in New York that he was to change his name to Bob Dylan and after his conversion to the electric guitar he was to remember New York in the bitter Positively Fourth Street. In this hit song he replied to the friends that he'd made in the Fourth Street clubs who had become his most vituperative critics (Bob had also lived on Fourth Street). The Chelsea Hotel the Carnegie Hall... these are just two further names without which no attempt to approach the life and times of Dylan would be complete. This is Positively Bob Dylan.
