I came across this by accident while searching for another band. Twenty nine tracks, and at least 27 are brilliant. Everyone in my family loves this album. What a lineup of stars! (and NO kid rock, no rappers!) Tastefully Done!

The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration is a live double-album release in recognition of Bob Dylan's 30 years as a recording artist. Recorded in October 1992 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, it captures most of a memorable show full of celebrities, new and veteran, performing classic Dylan songs, before ending with a few performances from Bob Dylan himself. The house band for the show is the surviving members of Booker T. and the MG's: Booker T. Jones on organ, Donald "Duck" Dunn on bass, and Steve Cropper on guitar. Joining them is drummer Anton Fig, filling in for the late Al Jackson. Also on drums is renowned session drummer Jim Keltner. Longtime Saturday Night Live bandleader G.E. Smith is the musical director for the show.
The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration double-album, which reached #40 in the US and went gold, was released in August 1993 just before Dylan was about to deliver his second folk studio set inside of a year, World Gone Wrong. The spectacle is dubbed "Bobfest" by Neil Young at the beginning of his "All Along the Watchtower" cover.

Dylan's songs have been interpreted by everyone from Trini Lopez to Jimi Hendrix, & so goes this excellent collection of legendary artists. My personal favs were Clapton, Winters, Johnny Cash, & Tom Petty. I was less impressed with John Cougar Mellencamp Smith Jones (or whatever he goes by now) & Eddie Vedder.
But it's definitely a keeper.

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various music supplies and recordings from the 60's and 70's.
October 16th, 1992 New York City's Madison Square Garden is sold out for a tribute To Bob. Dylan that is. The 30th Anniversary Concert would bring together not only Dylan's long time friends but those that were touched by his music. The evening was a true celebration and for several hours as the famed concert hall rocked, all seemed right with the world.
Fast forward to the release date of August 24, 1993 and the album capturing the festivities of October 16th of the previous year is ready for sale. There are two glaring omissions that startled many consumers. George Harrison's rendition of "If Not For You" is left in the vaults as is Eric Clapton's "Love Minus Zero, No Limit." You can't rationalize this. The rest of the selections have enough sterling moments to make a purchase worthwhile. John Mellencamp didn't take the safe road when he performed "Leopard-Skin Pill Box Hat." Equipped with a Dylan vocal inflection and some in your face rock and roll , this was a superlative version. Johnny Cash commands a lot of respect but here he pays homage to Dylan with a country interpretation of "It Ain't Me, Babe." Johnny Winter did a blowtorch version of "Highway 61 Revisited" in the 1970's and the passion and desire hasn't left his six string. ... Read More

I was living in NYC and working when I heard this concert announced on the radio. Sold out in minutes! Never did get a ticket, much to my regret but this cd and the accompanying video make me feel as if I was there to celebrate the music of Bob Dylan or as Neil Young proclaimed, 'Bobfest!'. Rarely a week goes by when I don't listen to a few tunes from this concert. The collection of artists could make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame quake in it's boots. John Mellencamp kicks things off in high gear with LIKE A ROLLING STONE. My other favorites are Richie Havens, JUST LIKE A WOMAN. Eddie Vedder, MASTERS OF WAR. The Clancy Brothers really kick it in with, WHEN THE SHIP COMES IN and Shawn Colvin kicks a** with YOU AIN'T GOING NOWHERE. The Band WHEN I PAINT MY MASTERPIECE and what a finish with MY BACK PAGES and KNOCKING ON HEAVENS DOOR. My only regret about this cd is someone should have edited Stevie Wonder's ranting before he kicks off BLOWIN IN THE WIND. Political rants don't belong on this cd, it's all about celebrating the songs of one of our greatest artist.
