In the 1960s, drummer Mickey Jones always took a home-movie camera on tour...And he had an 8 mm color Kodak camera with him in 1966, when Bob Dylan hired him to be the drummer on Dylan's first electric world tour. Jones filmed Dylan and his group sightseeing and onstage. Thirty-six years later, Jones has decided to cash in on his previously unseen excerpts from his reels in a ninety-minute video and DVD release, 1966 World Tour: The Home Movies.
