Bob Dylan – October 16, 1992 The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration

Bob Dylan - The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration

The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration is a live double-album release in recognition of Bob Dylan’s 30 years as a recording artist. Recorded on October 16, 1992, at Madison Square Garden in New York City, it captures most of the concert, which featured many artists performing classic Dylan songs, before ending with three songs from Dylan himself.

 

On October 16, 1992, an impressive and eclectic group of artists gathered at Madison Square Garden in New York City for the purpose of celebrating the music of Bob Dylan on occasion of his 30th anniversary of recording. Bringing together musical greats as far-flung as Johnny Cash and Eddie Vedder, The Clancy Brothers and Lou Reed, the four hour show celebrated a truly remarkable lifetime of songs in front of a sold-out audience of over 18,000. Warmly dubbed the Bobfest by participant Neil Young, the show was broadcast around the world and featured a cast of musical notables performing carefully chosen and often surprising selections from the incomparable Dylan songbook. At evening’s end, the man of honor himself appeared on stage and gracefully brought it all back home again. In a world where all-star celebrity gatherings have become commonplace, the Bob Dylan celebration stood out as, first and foremost, a legitimately memorable musical event.

  1. i have never understood why Sophie B Tuckers version of “I Want You” was left of the album….I recorded the tv broadcast and enjoyed her version so much….have not been able to find it….I remember Sinead O’Connor was booed off the stage….concert was not long after her pope church comments…I wore the video tape out and have never been able to find that version….

  2. There were 39 songs performed in total for the live concert. Only 28 were released. The audio was broadcast live to overseas countries and had all the performances including Dylan singing “Song To Woody”. This was in great quality yet Columbia said they didn’t include it as they had “technical issues with the recording”. Didn’t sound like it and a big mistake on their part.
