Subject: RE: DYLAN NIGHT - Embarassing Moments
Well it was on BBC4 and they repeat EVERYTHING on that channel ad nauseam so I imagine another opportunity will come along soon.
Actually there were 4 programmes.
(1)A new BBC documentary with mind boggling items such as "The Blues and Soul Train" perpetrated by Granada TV in 1963. They (unsuccessfully) attempted to make a BR steam loco look like "The General". Muddy Waters, Sister Rosetta Tharpe etc. were then induced to perform on Chorlton station platform in the rain. Sister Rosetta arrived in a pony and trap and whipped out a Gibson SG. Indescribable.
(2) At least some of the new Scorsese film spliced together from the Murray Lerner one and others.
(3)The documentary about the lost BBC TV play featuring Dylan (A Madhouse on Castle Street).
(4) The Murray Lerner Newport film.
First time I've sat in front of the telly for 3 hrs for I don't know how long! Gave up at midnight and recorded the rest.
