The 30th Anniversery Concert Celebration for Bob Dylan.



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 the 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

Tom

 

[Scott Hammer TOXIC]

Bach/Janis Joplin/Randy Travis/Motzart/Grand Funk Railroad/Hendricks/Morrison/Muddy Waters....



And I will admit that my wife conned me into going to a Barry Manilow concert once...Bwhaaaaaaa...everybody ought to do it once!! Never saw so many older Jewish women in one place.



TOXIC

 

[Terry Hutchison]

Led Zeppelin, Grand Funk(saw 'em 3 times before they went disco), Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Metallica.

What's wrong with this picture- I have a 24 year old daughter and a 19 year old Marine son and I'm 48 and listening to this music while they're listening to country(or what passes for country these days). I would dearly love to see George Jones in concert once though. The wife of a guy I work with is Nancy Jones' personal secretary. Man, what a sweet gig, they're always going places with the Joneses and hanging out when some of the top stars come around to visit George. Hutch

 

[C C]

New Years from front row seats we will be watching the Devine Bette Midler. The next concert we want to see is C

 

[Texas Transplant]

Woodstock. Nuf said.



Tex

 

[Rich D]

One of the most fun shows I have been to was a small concert with BTO, the Guess Who, Dr. Hooks revival and one other band I don't recall. Not all the original members mind you, but still a really fun show!



Rich D

 

[TrepMan]

Tex - NOW you tell me! I just MOVED from Woodstock to Canton, if you had bought your Stratos before April you could have BEEN in Woodstock!!!! LOL

 

[Staci Matheis]

LOL!! We got a lot of OLD people here! LOL!!



Travis - I saw the Dixie Chicks here in St. Louis before they got famous at a little venue called "Off Braodway" that held maybe 300 people. This was when the third lady was someone else - I can't remember her name. That third lady was from St. Louis and the lady I was dating at the time had taught her music in high school - so we went to see them perform! Mercy! That must have been like 15 years ago! Maybe longer!



TOX - You crack me up!



Harpo - I would give anything to shake Ali's hand. I admire that man!

 

[Scott Hammer TOXIC]

I dated a girl in Omaha that has now kinda made it to the big time...I guess Grammy nominated is bigtime. I just couldn't get into the music scene with her (and I moved). She was a jazz singer and her name is Karin Allison. Do a search on her. I helped her decide to change her name (Allison is her mothers maiden name) from Schnoover. Nothin like having a song sung TO YOU from the stage, especially throaty jazz...oooooh baby!!



TOXIC

 

[Rob LaMoy]

Randy Travis and Alan Jackson. Then Mac and Mini as openers!

 

[Rich Stern]

Went to the Synchronicity tour in 1983 in Philly. Great show.



They broke up in their prime.

 

[Jim Brone]

VH with Dave only if he can hit the notes.

SRV

The Eagles again, with Don Felder.

Iron Maiden as always.

 

[Mike L.]

Some of the best bands of the early '70's gave the best rock and roll shows!..Mountain, Kiss, Led Zeppelin, Humble Pie, Black Sabbath, Uriah Heap.....Scott,the Stones are on my 'must see ' list on their next time around! Somehow I just never saw them live!

 

[Kenneth Brown]

I'm with you Rich! I have every thing the Police put out! A lot of underground and U. K. releases, Stewart Copeland's stuff is great too!

 

[Scott Hammer TOXIC]

GFR/BTO concerts were the shatz!! And a little Molly Hatchet on the side. I went and saw the Doobies the other night....good show!



TOXIC

 

[Tom(fishfafun) Lutz]

Now I'm going back...



Cream (Eric,Jack & Ginger)always put on a good show in the late sixties (got to see em' 4 times) and the Oakland Coliseum had Chicago Transit Autority opening for Jimi Hendrix ('1969'), top notch concert, but the one I remember best was in the mid seventies they held "super" concerts that they called "A Day On The Green" #1,2,3 etc. at the Oakland Coliseum baseball stadium outdoors. I think it was #2 that had Journey headlining with Santana, Toto, Montrose, and The Tubes. Each group played for about 2 hours (started in the early afternoon and ended about 10PM) and Santana absolutely stole the show, Carlos had it all together then and his band could jam!!!



And if you can dig it, "You've Got To Funkafize!", go see TOWER OF POWER...no better sounding live band out there. They're so tight you'd think it was a studio recording...gotta' get up offa yo' seat!!!!!



So, I'd love to see Carlos and his old bunch get together with T.O.P. opening, but heck, Carlos could open for T.O.P., it wouldn't matter to me, I'd be there!

Simon & Garfunkel (3 times); Blood, Sweet & Tears; The Beatles! (Cincinnati in 1965.); John Denver; Dixie Chicks; Gordon Lightfoot; Peter, Paul & Mary; Professor Peter Schikele; Jean Pierre Rampal.....



Just a few that stick in my mind.....



Never have made it to see The Stones.....

 

[Bill McElroy]

I never saw the Doors either,..they were waaaayy before my time!! LOL...My first concert was in 1975,...saw 2 that year....Bob Segar & Todd Rundgren at the SilverDome...and David Bowie from the 8th row at Cobo Hall...That ROCKED!!!

[Scott Hammer TOXIC]

Awwww Mac, I thought I was the only one who had this album...



TOXIC

 

[Larry Harp]

Any John Prine fans out there? That was one of the best live performances I ever saw.



Harpo

 

[Lorraine 'Rainy' Evans]

John Prine stuff is great! In Spite of Ourselves always cracks me up. A little beer joint near Gibbons Creek, (Anderson, TX) has one of his CD's on their jukebox. It's a lot of fun to stop there, and play it.



I also enjoy Joe Ely. Keep trying to see him in concert.



Joe Ely and Barbra Streisand. That's the concert I want.



Rainy

 

[Staci Matheis]

Mac -



You ever here Neal Diamond do "Red, Red Wine" with a reagge beat in tribute to UB40's recording of it? Better than the original!



me!

 

[Craig Roberts]

I'd give anything to see Queen with Freddie Mercury back at the mic. Saw them at least 10 times, and always got more than my money's worth. Absolutely the best live shows ever.



Craig

 

[Mark Gross]

It would have to be Led Zeppalin ,And Deep Purple doing river deep mountain high and, and Smoke on the Water!

Or just Pink Floyd.

 

[Larry Harp]

How about Buddy Holly & The Crickets? Now that's a concert I would pay today's prices for.



Harpo

 

[Staci Matheis]

I thought I was the only one here who listened to Buddy Holly!

Made a copy of his greatest hits just yesterday for my mother!

You see the movie, Harpo?

 

[Larry Harp]

I thought everybody loved Buddy Holly. He was the Mozart of Rock & Roll. Just listen to rhythm of Peggy Sue and tell me he wasn't years ahead of his time. And oh yeah, the movie is one of my favorites. Back in the early 70's Gary Busey did a local late night TV show with Gaylord Sartain (who played Big Bopper)that was halarious.



Harpo

 

[Staci Matheis]

"I'm gonna love you,too" could have been recorded during the British Invasion!



Ever hear The Stones do "Not Fade Away"?

 

[Larry Harp]

Yeah, Buddy influenced a great number of artists. It's hard to turn on the radio today and not hear a Buddy Holly influence. Wonder what he would have done IF....?



Harpo

 

[Bill McElroy]

Toxic,....I saw them (PC) when "A place in the Sun" was new...man their piano player was as good as EJ!! Corey somethin' or other...,can't remember his last name,...but I saw them at a small auditorium in Ann Arbor in '78 or '79!!

They played for 3 hours!! I was in the 10th row or so...a GREAT show!!

 

[Rich D]

And who could forget Ted Nugent swinging on a rope out over the crowd!
