Editorial Reviews

Admired as one of the best lyirics writer of pop rock, Bob Dylan has his name recorded in music history. During his four decades career, he has been through many facets: from acustic to electric guitar; from politicized to religious lyrics; from minimalist to very higly sophisticated arrangements. And his characteristic voice-for some, hoarsed and full of style, for others a little out of tune- it still influencing many musicians. In this presentation in Australia in 1986, Dylan is accompanied by Tom Petty and the band The Heartbreakers, as well as a very fine selection of new compositions. To close the spectacle, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty perform a vocal duet in "Knockin' on heaven's door", one of the most famous songs of this compositor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dylan and Petty - Pre Wilburys-Fantastic, December 6, 2004

By 

King Richard "CoeurDeLion" (Live Oak, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bob Dylan- Hard to Handle (With Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) (DVD)

When I saw this was from Brazil or whatever country in South America speaks Portuguese, bells went off, alarms sounded and that little voice in the back of my head said "don't buy this, it's a cheap, shoddy rip-off." I had it on VHS and being unable to find an American release of the tour on DVD, decided to take a chance. I was glad I did. Quality-wise, its as good as the VHS tape and shows Dylan and Petty with the Heartbreakers as a superb back-up band in the days before the Traveling Wilburys had been dreamed of. Was this tour perhaps the genesis of that legendary super-group? Makes no difference, if you're a Dylan fan, this belongs in your collection. If you're a Petty fan, it belongs in your collection. Highlights include: Like A Rolling Stone, Knockin' on Heaven's Door, Just Like A Woman (one of Dylan's forgotten mid-'60's masterpieces) and others. If you only buy one Dylan DVD, this should be the one. Don't let the Portuguese scare you....it's not subtitled.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Show., November 24, 2004

By 

James Baack "I'm Mad, Bad and Dangerous To Know!" (Monster Island) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bob Dylan- Hard to Handle (With Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) (DVD)

Bob Dylan performing with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers on their 1986 tour. Great sound and well directed concert video filmed in Australia. Dylan is in top form as he delights his audience with a greatist hits show and the Heartbreakers produce a dynamic wall of sound sure to satisfy any fan.
Good set list including "Knockin on Heavens Door", "Like a Rolling Stone","It Aint Me Babe", etc.
Recommended for any Dylan enthusiast.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Dylan concert with poor video quality, August 27, 2011

This review is from: Bob Dylan- Hard to Handle (With Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) (DVD)

"I was at this concert and it was important to me to get this video on DVD. Video quality very poor. Way worse than a VHS tape. Audio is fine. If you're a Dylan (or Petty) fan, you'll probably overlook this and enjoy the show. It's a hard one to find. Read elsewhere that the video quality was similar to VHS-S. Not true. One of Dylans best concerts though, so if you're a fan, you'll probably like it"
