D731 60 MINUTES OUT-TAKES
To help promote Chronicles Volume One, then just released, on 19 November 2004 Bob was interviewed by CBS 60 Minutes journo Ed Bradley, with fifteen minutes of their conversation duly broadcast on 5 December. This broadcast package currently circulates on D466.a, D468, D516, D552, D556 and D640. For brief comments concerning it, see D468 review. D731 offers eleven minutes of interview footage in excellent video (second screenshot) and audio quality, most (but not all) previously unbroadcast. There's clearly more of a mutual respect and rapport between Bob and his interviewer here than is usual on such occasions (think hapless George Negus in 1986 - see D248, chapter three - or poor old DLB sacrificial lamb Horace Judson) with D at comparative ease, engaged and frank in his responses to a range of probing questions:
Tell me how you decided on "Bob Dylan"
How'd you get out of that (eighties) rut?
Where did (Blowin' In The Wind) come from?
Do you remember this (Esquire "Four-Face Monster" magazine) cover?
Why do you still (perform)?
to which he answers ... But that would be telling. Note: don't stop before the very end, because the interview closes in touching fashion.
RUNNING TIME 11:30
GRAZIE MM
STARS Slight but well worthwhile. Four.

11 minutes of Bob giving honest answers to intelligent questions; what further recommendation do you need ? [I presume they're honest, as the politician said "The greatest asset is sincerity, and if you can fake that you've got it made" ]
You know when you read Wilde or Johnson every second sentence is just a quote waiting to be used, well every word Bob says here is like that, is goin' to end up in countless articles/books, so you might as well hear them here first. Even the most dedicated Bob-Head can learn something from this.
If you've seen the 60 Minutes DVD - D466, you'll want this; if you haven't seen it, this'll act as the perfect taster.
Quality is excellent, and the "PC Generated Menu" has nothing to be ashamed off.
Get it, an unreserved 5 stars.
[That's 3 good reviews in a row, must be getting soft.....]
