New Thunder On The Mountain video – worth having, slightly underwhelming

The new five minute Thunder On The Mountain video, just screened on Channel 4, is a collage of clips from across Dylan’s history on film. The clips run parallel to the Modern Times album track, with no link between sound and vision.

Posing a worthwhile challenge to hardcore fans (ID all the clips!), it reminds you of a fan mash-up on YouTube (presumably the aim). It’s the visual equivalent of a hits album, aimed at expanding the market, even though many of the clips aren’t commercially available.

Interesting. Worth having. Slightly underwhelming. Collectors will already have fuller versions of nearly all of these clips.
