Comment
As the credits originally rolled over Dylan doing "With God On Our Side", I've made an alternative ending. The first "Folk Britannia" documentary finished with a 60s performance of "Scarborough Fair" by Martin Carthy segueing into audio of the Simon and Garfunkel version. I've removed the Simon and Garfunkel audio and replaced it with audio from Carthy's performance of the same song at the "Talking Bob Dylan Blues" concert held at the Barbican in London on 26th September 2005.

Three cuts - Woody Guthrie, Elvis and Dylan - totalling less than two and a half minutes.
