Bob Dylan: 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration. 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
At Bob Dylan‘s anniversary celebration, held at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 16, 1992, the event transcended the man. Between the stunning range of artists who performed Dylan’s songs – from Stevie Wonder to Roger McGuinn, Tracy Chapman to Eric Clapton, John Mellencamp to the Clancy Brothers – and Sinead O’Connor‘s emotional tug of war with the audience, there was no individual hero. These songs offer a map of the inexplicable places where politics and personal experience meet, probing and articulating a gamut of feelings that can be found nowhere else.
The cumulative effect of this tribute was staggering, revealing just how much truly great Dylan material there is to choose from all of his periods. A firm nucleus of the three surviving members of Booker T. & the MG's, plus . Eric Clapton shrugs off his diffident manner to deliver one of the most electrifying performances of his life in "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" - each guitar lick and vocal cuts angrily to the bone - and George Harrison makes his first . concert appearance in 18 years with "Absolutely Sweet Marie. Dylan himself appears at the end, wildly improvisational and harshly authentic in voice on "It's Alright, Ma" and "Girl of the North Country.
