Hard Rain – YouTube clip shows need for a DVD release

Thanks to Martin Cowan:

“Further to Bob Munro's recent post, he's right about it being at Fort Collins, as this clip is from Dylan's TV special Hard Rain which was recorded on 23 May 1976 and broadcast on TV in America and the UK in September 1976.

“In my view, the Hard Rain show ranks as Dylan's finest hour in front of the TV cameras and its lack of a video or DVD release (or, come to that, ever being repeated on television) is inexplicable.

“Maybe Dylan's ‘people’ will see the light one day and bring out a CD/DVD set to cover both of the shows that feature on the current Hard Rain CD so that all Dylan fans are able to appreciate the brilliance of these performances.”

Please send your top three Dylan clips on YouTube, in rank order, and I’ll compile a Top 10 list. (email: info@dylandaily.com)

Why not do it now? I’ll close the list at the end of next week – 0001 on Friday 19 January.
