 Great footage Feb 02, 2010
If you like the early folk day footage and to see the emergence of an electric Bob, this is the dvd for you.
SUPERIOR DOCUMENTARY BY MURRAY LERNER Dec 13, 2009
I never saw or heard Bob Dylan before this documentary. What was I doing in the sixties when this film was made and Dylan was becoming a star: I was busy working to earn a living. Do/did I understand what this audience was feeling about themselves and the world: No, I was years over thirty and had already performed my military service in an earlier war than that which the young men in these audiences were so terrified over the possibility of being drafted to serve in. Does that mean I did not enjoy this documentary: not at all; while the sentiments expressed by Dylan and the folk singing tradition were both quite familiar to one who was a child in the thirties and a college student in the forties, Lerner, who is of the same vintage as I, was able to surmount time and place, by an admirable job of filming and editing, letting the performances speak for themselves.dI would certainly recommend the film for those too young or too old to have shared the experience, as well as those who can relive a part of their youth here.
Bob Dylan's Evolution Mar 13, 2009
I purchased this DVD as a gift for my boyfriend and, as soon as it arrived, we watched it together. Looking back to the mid-1960's, via this DVD, made me realize how far we all have come! Dylan looks like he is little more than a kid when he first started performing at this folk festival. His growth, as a musician, was phenomenal in this short period of time between 1963 to 1965. It is unfortunate that the festival attendees could not understand what they were witnessing at that time. Hopefully, they understand now.

The dvd The Other Side of the Mirror, Bob Dylan Live at Newport Folk Festival 1963-1965 is awesome. It's such a beautiful piece of history and a record of this incredible poet/artist/singer/songwriter's outlook on life, and what he gave to all of us and is still giving!

It's a No Brainer - It doesen't get better than this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jan 18, 2009
Without saying more - this is El Primo buy it, buy a copy for your best friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I can see why 1/3 of the crowd booed when he went electric.
He is the best folk singer of all time. He made his name on the poetry and the unique delivery. It's not that he was bad as a rock act. But the audience couldn't hear the brilliant words due to the volume of the backup band.
They paid to see the brilliant genius playing acoustic and wailing. Coming out with a different style was a big turnoff. It would be like going to a Stones concert and
Mick singing opera!!!!!!!!
