It's very long (as the two-DVD format might suggest), but naturally that means it's very informative. Scorsese did a great job with it - there's a kind of shopping list of all the people from the Greenwich Village scene that Dylan cited as influences (Woody Guthrie, Hank Williams, Leadbelly and about a gazillion more) throughout with snippets of their work to go with it. With the talking heads he interviews as well, there's just about every plausible avenue of information covered as well.

Great watch. I'm sure you'll enjoy it

I've seen both of them on separate occasions, and they each put on a pretty good show.

I'm much more of a Dylan fan though, so I'd probably go just to see Bob again.

Hahhahaha all of his recent albums have been utter crap in comparison to his 60's and 70's output, and he has the nerve to label Johnny Cash's comebacks before his death as low grade? The man really has lost it.

I disagree with this and highly doubt whether you have actually listened to his recent albums.
I wouldn't label them as crap but obviously the likes of 'Desire' & 'Blood On The Tracks' aint ever gonna be bettered by him.
As for the Johnny Cash comment, fair enough hes entitled to his opinion, I know people who dont like Johnny Cash at all, never mind his comeback.
Personally I think Rick Rubin did a great job with him and I have mostly all of his American Recordings albums ,which to me are nothing short of excellent.
So to say he has 'lost it' just because he doesnt like a particular artist is just nonsense. He actually should be praised for having the guts to come out and say something like that- when popular opinion is that his comeback was excellent.
Also I much prefer his 80s & 90s stuff to the 60s albums he did. (and I have mostly all of them from every period- just missing a few from 60s & 70s).
For instance I would much rather listen to the versions of Rainy Day Women, Tomnbstone Blues, All Along The Watchtower on the MTV Unplugged album rather than the originals.
I also love the album 'Oh Mercy'(1989) & is probably the most listened to Dylan album I have after 'Desire' (my favourite), but thats just me..

I have, and have listened to every Dylan album, I got the leak of the latest album a few days before release and was really hoping for something, but was sadly dissapointed, he's just an old hack now, someone who can make great music, but just choses not to.

So youre trying piss off his fans by calling him "an old hack"? Youre cool.

I'm a massive Dylan fan! He's just way past it, and I found it quite hypocritical of himself to call Johnny Cash's comeback albums mediocre.

Time Out of Mind, but if you ignore that it would be Desire.
