VH1 Classic Celebrates Thanksgiving with a Day of Bob Dylan Programming on Thursday, November 22

NEW YORK, Nov. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- This Thanksgiving on VH1 Classic is a day of thanks and a day of Dylan. Throughout the day, Thursday, November 22, the network for classic music lovers will premiere all-new specials featuring the legendary musician, Bob Dylan.

VH1 Classic will premiere "Rock and Roll Picture Show: Don't Look Back" at 2:00 PM. The two-hour movie is both a classic documentary and a vital pop-cultural artifact. Shot during Bob Dylan's 1965 British concert tour, D.A. Pennebaker's portrait captures the seminal singer-songwriter on the cusp of his transformation from folk prophet to rock trendsetter.

Then at 4:00 PM, "Bob Dylan Unplugged" premieres for the first time on VH1 Classic. The special was recorded at the Sony Studio in New York City in November 1994 and features Dylan performing songs spanning his 30-year career. Song selections include "Knockin' On Heaven's Door," "Like A Rolling Stone," "The Times They Are a-Changin'," "All Along The Watchtower," "My Back Pages," and 'Dignity," a single off of his release, "Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Volume 3."

VH1 Classic will premiere an all-new "VH1 Rock Doc: Bob Dylan: No Direction Home" at 6:00 PM* and will sneak peek on VH1 Classic at 9:30 AM. This Martin Scorsese film features 200-plus-minutes focused on Dylan's earliest years -- from growing up in Minnesota during the cold war to Greenwich Village coffeehouses and the Newport Folk Festival. It climaxes during the controversial 1966 U.K. tour that crowned a period of unbridled and explosive creativity. As Scorsese masterfully shows, the myth around Dylan only grows bigger the more we discover about him.
