Swingin' Ryan Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 That was brilliant, loved the backstage footage of Bob on the '66 show.Did anyone else just see them recreate the Subterranean Homesick Blues video on a Newsnight piece about the Labour Party confrence?

Guest DustyDeviada Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Did anyone else just see them recreate the Subterranean Homesick Blues video on a Newsnight piece about the Labour Party confrence?No, thank god. That sounds terrible.Great doc though. At first I found it a bit wierd seeing Dylan talking about himself after all these years of being an enigma. But I soon stopped worrying about that and got into it.Never quite sure when Bob was taking the piss and not though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
