Magnetic Movements On-Line 

Hello and welcome

New films continue to flood in at the moment so there is much to discuss.

Once again you can view the forthcoming ones in brief at http://dvdylan.com. Vygi keeps a full list of available DVDs there and the site is becoming quite versatile so check it out. Nice to see him acknowledge FW there also.

We are now seeing more and more well authored and correctly chaptered discs as the media grows in quality and professionalism. Of course this means that some things are getting re-issued, which I really don’t have space to review. I will start mentioning the more valuable of these but this needs to be tempered so that we don’t endlessly review the same discs. 

If you have any news / copies of films that have not been listed please don’t be shy, tell me, or Vygi about them.

Wembley 15-11-03                                                                                                       91.00

Shot directly from the left side so Dylan has his back to you. Waist  up. Inappropriate chapters only at present. Entertaining view that this is it would be nice to see more of our mans face.

Wembley  15-11-03                                                                                                    104.00

Desolation Row (s) / Its Alright Ma / Boots Of Spanish Leather / Tweedle Dum & Tweedle Dee / Mr Tambourine Man / Things Have Changed / Highway 61 Revisited / Every Grain Of Sand / Honest With Me / Hattie Carroll / Summer Days / Cat’s In The Well / Like A Rolling Stone / All Along The Watchtower

You have to  feel sorry for this taper, he tries valiantly to keep the overhead cables out of the way and does succeed in getting Bob between them  as the above pic shows, but if he only he could have set a few seats in either direction what a difference it would make.

Sheffield  20-11-03                                                                                                          9.00

Man In The Long Black Coat / Highway 61 Revisited (i) / Every Grain Of Sand (i) / All Along The Watchtower (f)

Shot close up this was probably going to be a cracking film but is unfortunately rather short, some you win, some you lose.

NEC Birmingham  21-11-03              (AN)                                                                  67.00

Love Minus Zero (f) / Boots Of Spanish Leather (i) / To Be Alone With You / Its All Over Now, Baby Blue / Love Minus Zero (pt 1) / Its Alright Ma (i) / Floater (f) / Highway 61 Revisited (i) / Boots Of Spanish Leather Pt 1 (i) / Hattie Carroll / Every Grain Of Sand / Summer Days / Cats In The Well / Like A Rolling Stone / All Along The Watchtower (i)

Similar angle to the last film, both circulate on the same disc, from same source. This one does succeed where the previous is too short. The usual volume of heads in the way when you film this close though.

Shepherds Bush  23-11-03                                                                                          97.00

Cold Irons Bound / Mighty Quinn / Down Along Cove / It Takes A Lot To Laugh / Just Like Tom Thumbs Blues / Most Likely You’ll Go Your Way / Million Miles / Tough Mama / Under The Red Sky (s) / Positively Fourth Street / Dear Landlord / Tombstone Blues / Jokerman / Silvio / Tweedle Dum & Tweedle Dee / Like A Rolling Stone / All Along The Watchtower

This is certainly one of the better films of this amazing show, a little dark though all films from The Bush seem to be that way. Clear view most of the time, it’s  a good un.

Hammersmith Odeon  24-11-03                                                                                 92.00

You Ain't Going Nowhere (s) / Cry A While (f) / Romance In Durango (i) / Dear Landlord / High Water (For Charley Patton) / Tough Mama / Floater (Too Much To Ask) / Million Miles / Jokerman / Honest With Me (s) * / The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll (i) / Summer Days (i) / Cat's In The Well  / Like A Rolling Stone / All Along The Watchtower

This is almost the best film from these shows, but sadly when the taper started a 2^nd cassette he used one with a minor fault which puts a permanent line on the picture. I have captured from this point to demonstrate it. It begins at (*) and continues to the end, otherwise a good film.

D6  A8  S8  H7 F8  I BR5

Hammersmith Odeon  24-11-03                                                                                61.00

Drifters Escape / You Ain’t Goin Nowhere / Cry Awhile / Girl Of The North Country / Romance In Durango / Dear Landlord / High Water / Tough Mama / Floater / Million Miles (f)

Inappropriate chapters aside this is quite a  watchable film certainly you get to see plenty of Bob singing and “dancing”. Michael Jackson he ain’t (though I bet Michael wishes he was these days).
