    5.0 out of 5 stars Legendary show done justice!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 March 2014

    22(!) years after the event concert we finally get a superb transfer of this iconic concert!

    This blu-ray doesn't look and sound anyway near the old VHS that we had to do with all these years. Sony managed to obtain the rights to the HD-footage that was broadcast at Japanese national TV at the time. It was sourced from different cameras so it's basically a different representation of the same show. The image looks surprisingly sharp and clear and comes in gorgeous 16:9 ratio.

    The sound comes in lossless 2.0 PCM and is also a major improvement over the VHS/laserdisc. Sound is very punchy and powerful, I'm hearing Neil Young's Les Paul growling and Jim Keltner's drums kicking as never before .A 5.1 mix would have been a nice bonus but this PCM track does an excellent job. It's the same mix as the original, which means that Dylan's vocals on 'My Back Pages' are still the re-recorded ones

    The bonus features are a bit on the light side: 3 standard-definition bonus tracks and a (interesting) behind-the-scenes featurette (that was already available on the Web) but I guess that's all that we could hope for. It's been commented that it's not the whole show but there must be good reasons for that (licensing? technical issues?).

    In short, with this blu-ray the concert probably looks as good as it will ever do, and can sit nicely next to 'The Last Waltz' on my shelf :-)

    Recommended!

    P.S. the In Memoriam on the back of the booklet is a sad reminder of who's left us since the event: Mr and Mrs Cash, Rick Danko, Donald "Duck" Dunn, George Harrison, Richie Havens, Levon Helm, Lou Reed and others ...

    5.0 out of 5 stars Almost unsurpassable
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 March 2014

    I have heard most of this music before as I had the Cd version of the original release but having just bought a Blu-ray player felt this was a good opportunity of seeing this concert for the first time. Aside from "The Last Waltz" and George Harrison's "Concert for Bangla Desh" I cannot think there has ever been a concert I would like to have been at more and it is no coincidence that Bob Dylan is the focal point of all three of these events. It is not perfect but there are two aspects which warrant my rating. Firstly the quality of the song writing is in my opinion unsurpassable. Even though Bob Dylan has written many other wonderful songs the selection here is outstanding and today "My Back Pages" is my favourite Bob Dylan song but tomorrow it will be something else.
    Secondly we have performances by Lou Reed, The Clancy Brothers, Tommy Makem, Richie Havens, June Carter, Johnny Cash, Rick Danko, Donald "Duck" Dunn and Levon Helm preserved in a show where they all were clearly having so much fun. Buy it now to see some of which can never be seen again

    This particular VHS has been deleted and no official DVD has ever been released.
    It is the closest available, officially, to the full concert, although even this omits songs (Notably by George Harrison and Eric Clapton.
    Some artists are left out entirely. I knew all of this before purchasing it and was more than pleased to receive this item, which is in excellent condition and very fairly priced.

    A DVD and Blu ray have now been issued (March 2014). Amazing quality as this concert was actually filmed in HD all that time ago.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great Concert.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 May 2019

    I would have given 5 stars, but for the first 5 minutes it went all jerky. It stopped after that and played good. As for the concert, brilliant. Neil Young stood out for me. Sinead O Connor I felt sorry for her. The booing she received from the American audience was so unnecessary. It was after she had tore the Pope's picture up. If she had done that in the UK, I don't think she would have had such a backlash. And if you watch her rehearse the song she was going to do, she sang it so beautiful. And as it turned out her criticism of the catholic church turned out to be true. Not all priests, but a lot.

    Bought this on Blue Ray as my old VHS version jammed and snapped in my VHS player, what a difference in quality and sound, a great concert made even better on a Blue Ray DVD.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Worthless reviews
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 February 2014
    Verified Purchase
    I am viewing this item one month before its release before ordering, and find a whole swathe of 'reviews'. How can this be? It isn't available for a month. Does this mean that reviews are pointless and worthless, as they cannot be 'kosher' for the item described in this case. Incidentally, I have given a star rating because it's essential for a comment to appear.

    We are huge Dylan fans and happened across a few excerpts from this concert on YouTube. My wife did a Google search, found the concert, and some ads for the DVD and Blue Ray. We ordered a copy on the spot and aren't disappointed in any way once it arrived. Highly recommended for any one who likes Dylan's work. There have been so many covers of his songs. It is fantastic to see some of those artist on one stage live.
