The band has four full length videos that I know of.

• "The Making of Will The Circle Be Unbroken, Volume II" - the most recent video, released just after the album was released. It's sort of a documentary, about 90 minutes long or so, and is awesome. It's got lots of footage from the recording sessions, and some interesting interviews with the performers. Great sound quality, too. Published by Cabin Fever Entertainment, Roseanne Cash was one of the Producers. I got mine at Walmart or some similar place.

• "Twenty Years of Dirt" - Video Marketplace says this one is from 1991, and is a collection of music videos, including "Long Hard Road, Telluride, Face on the Cutting Room Floor, High Horse, and others.

  Going by majority rule, this one is probably 45 minutes - Video Marketplace and the video catalog at Suncoast Movies both say 45 minutes, while Video Express says 30. Anyone have it and want to settle this glitch????

• "Live Dirt" is I think the oldest video, and is also a a concert video. The only info I have comes from a mention at the All Music Guide, which lists the video as released by EMI Video and Pioneer Laserdiscs. I'm trying to track down a place that sells it or rents it - it sounds like an interesting video. EMI released it in 1981 under the name "The Dirt Band Tonight."

• Leanne Clark found another Dirt Band video - "Roger McGuinn and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Live!" The Dirt Band part was recorded in 1990 at Church Street Station, which was a concert series broadcast on TNN for a while. Songs include Cadillac Ranch, Dance Little Jean, High Horse, and Mr. Bojangles. Thanks, Leanne.

There are also two movies that the NGDB appears in: For Singles Only (1968) and Paint Your Wagon (1969).
