The Other Side of the Mirror - Bob Dylan Live at The Newport Folk Festival 1963-1965

This Blu-ray concert film by director Murray Lerner is a most worthy addition to my music collection. I've never seen the original material so I don't know how good it is. However I can tell you that the audio quality is excellent for content that was originally filmed in an outdoor setting in the early 1960s. I'm pretty sure that a lot of effort went into restoring the sound. That's the beauty of most Blu-ray concert titles and why I'm committed to the format now. The picture is pretty good too.

If you are a Bob Dylan fan then this is an essential film to watch. Even if you just have a general interest in music or American poet/songwriters then this one is worth the effort.

Thanks Nigel.

OT, but I heard recently that the Stratocaster guitar Dylan used at the infamous ‘electric’ concert where in 1965 at the New Port concert he performed to boos & heckling recently sold at auction.
