No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, Martin Scorsese's nearly four-hour early Dylanmentary (it ends with '65), will air in two parts, on Sept. 26 and 27, on PBS's American Masters series and on BBC2. A DVD is to be released Sept. 20, according to Amazon.

Here's the trailer.

Tim Goodman of the S.F. Chronicle has seen it: DEATH MARCH WITH COCKTAILS: Where have all the flowers gone? Listen and learn.

Soundtrack listings at BobDylan.com include unreleased song, but an awful lot of bootlegs and basement tapes were floating around back in the '70s, so you may have heard some of these. The DVD will have 26 unreleased songs, according to Charttrack:

The double-disc No Direction Home: The Soundtrack — The Bootleg Series Vol. 7 is to contain 28 songs, 26 of them previously unreleased and all of them recorded between 1959 to '66.

The soundtrack is chronologically organized, beginning with what is believed to be the first song Dylan ever recorded — a 1959 high school take of "When I Got Troubles." It is set to end with alternate takes of Dylan classics like "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat" and performances from his 1966 tour of the United Kingdom.

In the trailer I see some footage from the Newport Folk Festival of '65, when Dylan went electric, including some crowd reaction. I wonder if I'll see my very young self there, standing on a folding chair.
