    I know he's coming to CT. I'd love to go but I just spent a bunch on Bruce. Although Bob's prices are cheaper than Bruce's. :think:

    He is playing Mohegan Sun on a Saturday night. Sounds like a hell of a weekend to me :D.
    It sure does. Is that Labor Day weekend?

    Wow, amazing.
    Never seen that before and this is one of my favourite songs of his.
    Thank you for sharing. 8-)

    I remember watching this a few years ago and laughed at Donovan's reaction just thinking, "motherfucker..."

    Another good clip from that same movie "Don't Look Back" is the first time he played part of "It's All Over Now Baby Blue."

  • Is the movie "I'm not there" worth buying?
    I have read mixed reviews so not sure.

    Also this is just a brilliant occurrence,
    Last night at the pub we went to for dinner for my birthday, they were playing tracks off Blonde on Blonde.
    What a coincidence.
    Also I was listening to Bob in the car on the way there.

    I watched 'Don't Look Back' again last night, and the above version of 'Love Minus Zero' wasn't in it. I know it was filmed in the same hotel room as 'It's all over now, baby blue', but either I was watching a different version of 'Don't look back', or the above song is taken from somewhere else?

    You buy movies?

    It is a good one. Cate Blanchett does an amzing job in it.

    Yeah, Donovan looks like he's thinking; "Fuck, I really need to try harder!"

    I'm not familiar with The Other Side Of The Mirror (is that a DVD?), but you certainly did well with the other three. Blood On The Tracks might be Dylan's best album. Full of pain and heartbreak, but very impressive. And No Direction Home and Don't Look Back are two excellent documentaries of Dylan in the '60s.

    Bob Dylan’s ‘Blood on the Tracks’ Album to Be Made Into a Movie
    4/5/2012 by Stuart Kemp


    Brazilian production banner RT Features buys film adaptation rights to 1975 Platinum selling record.

    Brazil-based international production banner RT Features has strummed up the rights to adapt Bob Dylan’s seminal 1975 album Blood on the Tracks into a movie.


    RT Features’ Rodrigo Teixeira and Fernando Loureiro will produce the English-language film.

    The producing duo are putting the project out to directors aiming to find one “with the unique vision to fulfill onscreen what Dylan accomplished in the studio with such well-known songs 'Tangled Up in Blue,' 'Simple Twist of Fate' and 'Shelter From the Storm.' "

    "As longtime admirers of one of the greatest albums in the history of music, we feel privileged to be making this film,” said Teixeira. “Our goal is to work with a filmmaker who can create a classic drama with characters and an environment that capture the feelings that the album inspires in all fans."

    Blood on the Tracks, Dylan’s 15th studio album, was released by Columbia Records in January 1975. Certified double platinum in the U.S. and gold in the U.K., the LP topped the Billboard 200 chart for two weeks, and Rolling Stone listed the album in its top 20 of all time.

    As part of a push into developing and producing English-language films, RT Features also is setting up Strip, mounting it with Thunder Road Pictures, and The Games of 1940, a co-production with Kennedy/Marshall to be written by David Seidler and Luca Manzi.

    RT Features has produced Portuguese-language movies including Romeo and Juliet Get Married for Vanguard Cinema as well as 2007’s Drained, which was selected for official competition at the Sundance Film Festival. In 2011, RT's Heleno and The Silver Cliff secured slots during at the Toronto International Film Festival and O Abismo Prateado found its way onto the Directors’ Fortnight roster at Cannes.

    Not to sound like a smart-ass, but yes, you are late on that. Nevertheless, at least you know about it now. It'll be an interesting movie.

    I think those two songs (Love Minus Zero/No Limit and It's All Over Now, Baby Blue) appeared in a companion documentary on the Deluxe Edition of the Don't Look Back DVD a couple of years ago ( http://www.amazon.com/Bob-Dylan-Dont-De ... B000KJU1HI ). The name of that documentary is Bob Dylan 65 Revisited. I have that one too, but haven't watched it in quite a while. However, the footage in those two links did look familiar, so I'm suspecting I saw it originally in that documentary.

    Cheers. I'm gonna get me a copy of that doc.

    And yeah, the song's from the same place & time. They filmed him and Donovan and a few others sitting in a hotel room playing some songs. The song featured in the original doc is 'It's all over now, baby blue'.
