Three takes of It Takes A Lot To Laugh. It's a nice set for historical documentation, and/or if you are a fan of Dylan covers, and/or the various artists appearing. There is a lot of down time between songs. It's not a set that will see frequency in your player. © 2001 Craig Pinkerton Bobsboots.com |
Event: 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. 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. - David Wild © 1993 © 2001 Craig Pinkerton Bobsboots.com |
