A restored and remastered DVD release of Legends of Folk: The Village Scene will feature many of the folk era’s biggest, most influential stars — from Bob Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel, to Peter Paul and Mary to Joan Baez.
Due on April 3, the stirring live footage takes viewers inside the Village movement that changed pop culture forever.
