No Direction Home: Bob Dylan is one of the most anticipated television events of the fall season. Directed by Martin Scorsese, the intimate film biography features the first lengthy interviews Dylan has given in 20 years. With unlimited access to his music and tightly-held archives -- and revealing insights from those who were there with Dylan from the very beginning -- No Direction Home is an open window to this notoriously private singer-songwriter. PBS premiere broadcast [September 26 & 27 at 9:00 p.m. on Channel 2]
This is why PBS in many way is better than those dam paid cable channel tv. dont forget to send money to your local PBS station.
Thank God for PBS. PBS is way better than anything else on TV. I"m defiantly going to tape No Direction Home. I bought the soundtrack from No Direction Home the other day. It is fantastic. It's a 2 CD set, volume 7 in the Bob Dylan bootleg series. I highly recommend it to any Dylan freak.
[September 26 & 27 at 9:00 p.m. on Channel 2] I thought you had got the channels [people outside the uk sometimes say channel rather than BBC2] mixed up for a while...seems not http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2005/09_september/09/dylan_arena_overview.shtml
bought the movie yesterday... its great... very informative... most of the stuff they talk about later in the dvd.... you can read about in the 1966 bootleg series booklet... be ready to sit around for a long time though... its close to 3 1/2 hrs long... so i doubt PBS will show the whole documentary... plus the dvd has full length live concert footage and tv spots... definately worth the $20
I am soooo looking forward to it. The problem is I have a tendancy to forget about tv shows coz I watch so little of it. It will kill me if I miss this tomorow. Fingers crossed to remembering on time.
Oh fucking THANK YOU PBS. I just watched the 2nd part(watched 1st last night) and..HOOOOOLY hell. I do love Public Broadcasting.
I wonder if this is the same 1 my bf taped last night & tonight (rather Mon. & last night as it's 3:41 AM in London as I type this...). He liked it, but said he wished they showed all of some songs as opposed 2 just clips.
the dvd has 8 full live songs on it... there was at least 30 song clips on that movie... and the movie was already 3 1/2hrs long... just think if they showed all 30 clips in full.... the bio would have been 6hrs long
Yeah, that was fucking AWESOME!!! I love that it shows how so many people had so much trouble trying to figure him out and how obsessive people can become about and the ways they react to what they don't understand. Also how the pressure of that kind of celebrity can drive you mad. I grew up on Bobby Dylan. His music has been part of the fabric of my life, and has made a profound impact on the person that I am.
