(More customer reviews)As a long-time and avid fan of Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry, I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical of the thought of Bryan Ferry doing a whole album of Dylan music. But - his interpetations of each song is brilliant !! Ferry puts his heart and soul into each song. On this video, it is obvious that he is 'into' it. He plays more harmonica than I have ever seen before, and is 'soulful'. His brief narratives about Bob Dylan and the music is just enough to be a satisfying supplement without taking away from his performances of the music. The piano playing of Colin Good is unmatched in its excellance, and it's great to see Roxy 'member' Andy Newmark on drums. The band, overall, is tight and each version of Dylan's songs, actually, improves somewhat on the originals !!
Bryan Ferry is superb in his vocals. I think he could, actually, do an album of anyone's music and improve on it !! A good example of that is the Roxy Music version of John Lennon's 'Jealous Guy'. While I am a big Beatles fan, Bryan Ferry's "Jealous Guy" gave it more 'soul' than Lennon.
Overall, this DVD is a joy to watch, and proves that Bryan Ferry is one of the most under-rated artists of our time !
