"Scorpio" six DVD box set. Pro-shot performances from 1963-2002. Essential stuff, could be the backbone of a Bob Dylan DVD collection. Quality varies because of the amount of different sources, sometimes not the best available quality.
Poor DVD authoring, inconvenient navigation.

At least this unimproved version of the set is a total crapfest. I wonder why somebody has went through the trouble of collecting all this stuff (in mediocre quality) and putting it on DVD without bothering to do anything useful about the navigation, chapter stops, sound level, etc.
Most of the stuff is available elsewhere in better quality, so my advice is "avoid". I won't even put it on my trade list, so I won't be disappointing any fellow-fans.
Jeez!

This set includes almost all TV-performances and some audience-recordings.
Imho the quality of the clips are not as bad as described in the reviews before.
The worst fact is, that every clip is a single title and after one clip you are back in the poor authored main menu.
But why do I rate it with four stars? Because it's all in one set and you don't have to get (as a newbie) all those compilations!
