Bob Dylan and the Band caught on primitive b&w half-inch open reel videotape at the Isle of Wight Festival on August 31, 1969. Dylan rejected an offer to play at Woodstock to headline the festival.

The set list was heavy with songs from Nashville Skyline and John Wesley Harding. Allegedly this was shot by a friend of John Lennon and Ringo Starr (who can be seen in the audience here). This makes sense because a) only someone relatively wealthy would have had access to a half-inch open reel video-recorder at the time and b) whoever shot this was right up front. What got preserved for history was:

1. The Weight
2. I Threw It All Away
3. Highway 61 Revisited
4. One Too Many Mornings
5. I Pity The Poor Immigrant
6. Minstrel Boy (partial)

I make no claim of being a Dylanologist, but this is not something I’ve seen before.
