In the end, it was about the songs.
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.
John Mellencamp, who's been covering "Like A Rolling
Stone" in concert for years, bravely took on the
Dylan classic early in the show and delivered a fairly
faithful and altogether convincing cover featuring strong
vocal help from Pat Peterson and Sue Medley. Joining
Mellencamp and his excellent band for the event on organ
was Al Kooper, reprising his prominent part from Dylan's
1965 original, which was voted the best single of the last
25 years by "Rolling Stone" in 1988. Mellencamp
-- whose been instrumental in the activities of Farm Aid,
which Dylan helped inspire with his onstage comments at
Live Aid, and who directed Dylan's "Political
World" music video in 1989 - was also in fine form
for a rousing, bluesy "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box
Hat" from 1966's "Blonde On Blonde".
One of the obvious emotional highlights of the show was
Stevie Wonder's endlessly soulful rendition of "Blowin'
In The Wind," a song Wonder brought to he Top Ten of
the Pop and R&B charts back in 1966, three years after
Peter, Paul & Mary first introduced it to the masses.
As Wonder pointed out in his moving introduction, the
message of "Blowin' In The Wind" remains, sadly,
one of enduring relevance. A contemporary folk standard
originally recorded for 1962's "The Freewheelin' Bob
Dylan," the song found Wonder working his
gospel-tinged magic alongside Booker T. Jones and the M.
G.'s - the phenomenally adept house band for the show.
Booker T & M. G.'s now features Jones on organ, Steve
Cropper on guitar, Donald "Duck" Dunn on bass
and Anton Fig, filling in for the late Al Jackson, on
drums. The group enjoyed a run of instrumental hits in the
sixties, including "Green Onions" and "Time
Is Tight," as well as serving as the legendary house
band for countless Stax classics. The very able musical
director of the show was G. E. Smith, long-time
"Saturday Night Live" band leader and veteran
Dylan guitarist. Also making a significant contribution to
the proceedings was session drumming great Jim Keltner,
who's worked with the Traveling Wilbury's and just about
everybody else over the years.
In a winning example of one ingenious lyricist honoring
another, Lou Reed righteously rocked out on "Foot Of
Pride," an obscure outtake from the 1983
"Infidels" album that Reed, like so many other
less famous Bob Dylan fans, discovered on 1991's "The
Bootleg Series (Vols. I-III)" set. Hardly an obvious
song choice, Reed's "Foot Of Pride" was a gutsy
as well as a hard-rocking reminder of just how much depth
there is to Bob Dylan's body of work.
The riveting acoustic rendition of "Masters Of
War" by Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Mike McCready,
was arguably the evenings most pleasant surprise. These
two young Dylan fans didn't need any loud Seattle sonics
to get across Dylan's pointed protest classic from
"The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan." Vedder, who
blissfully watched rehearsals for the concert from the
front row of a nearly empty Madison Square Garden, proved
with his wonderfully intense interpretation that when it
comes to a great song, there's no such thing as a
generation gap.
Tracy Chapman - who helped bring folk music back to the
forefront with her acclaimed 1988 debut album, and who has
toured with Dylan occasionally in recent years - offered
an eloquent and moving solo acoustic version of the
often-covered "The Times They Are A-Changin',"
the title track of Dylan's 1964 effort. In Chapman's
capable hands, the song's power remains undimmed by time.
Country and rockabilly legend Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan
have a long history of mutual admiration for one another.
They first met at the Newport Folk Festival in 1964, and
went on to record a session together in Nashville in 1969.
The normally TV-shy Dylan even appeared on a Cash
television special taped at the Grand Ole Opry in 1969.
Cash and Dylan's duet on "Girl Of The North
Country" was featured on Dylan's groundbreaking
country-rock effort "Nashville Skyline", for
which Cash wrote the Grammy Award-winning liner notes. At
the show, Cash and June Carter Cash, his wife and longtime
musical partner, teamed up for a surprisingly celebratory,
down-home version of "It Ain't Me, Babe," a song
from "Another Side Of Bob Dylan" that Cash took
up the charts in 1964, well before the Turtles turned it
into a pop smash in 1965.
Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan are clearly two kindred
spirits. Recently the pair collaborated on
"Heartland" from Nelson's new "Across The
Borderline" album, which also included a cover of
Dylan's "What Was It You Wanted" - a standout
track from 1989's "Oh Mercy" that Nelson
performed for the first time at the event. Playing bass on
this swampy and sly rendition was Don Was, who produced
"Across The Borderline" as well as co-producing
Dylan's 1990 effort "Under The Red Sky."
Nelson and Was stuck around to back up Kris Kristofferson
for his appropriate mellow version of "I'll Be Your
baby Tonight," the song from Dylan's 1968 album
"John Wesley Harding." Kristofferson - one of
the many gifted and literate young singer-songwriters of
the sixties and seventies who faced daunting critical
comparisons to Dylan - became friendly with Dylan on the
set of Sam Peckinpah's 1973 western film "Pat Garrett
And Billy The Kid", in which they both appeared. Even
earlier, however, Kristofferson worked as the studio
janitor during the famed "Blonde On Blonde"
sessions.
A monumental display of blues power came from veteran
Texan guitar hero Johnny Winter, who threw down a furious
deep-blues take on "Highway 61 Revisited," which
was Winter's first cut on his 1970 three-sided sophomore
Columbia release, "Second Winter." The guitar
line-up of Winter, Steve Cropper, and G. E. Smith was in
fierce form for the song, living up to the spirit of the
late Mike Bloomfield's rifting on Dylan's 1965 original.
Ron Wood's barn-burning version of "Seven Days"
provided another of the evening's most happy surprises. An
unreleased rocker performed live by Dylan on 1976's
"Rolling Thunder Revue," the song was
subsequently recorded by Wood for his 1979 album "Gimme
Some Neck". With Heartbreaker Howie Epstein joining
the house band on bass, the Stone alone, who has often
played and recorded with Dylan over the years, came
through with a great throaty vocal that was more than a
little reminiscent of the song's writer.
Richie Havens, who in his early days played many of the
same Greenwich Village folk haunts as Dylan, first cut
"Just Like A Woman" for his "Mixed
Bag" album back in 1967. He's subsequently recorded
and performed numerous Dylan songs, some of which can be
heard on his 1987 collection "Richie Havens Sings The
Beatles And Dylan". His solo acoustic version of the
song at the celebration was a powerful testament to his
abilities as a distinctive interpretive singer.
Arguably the foremost Irish folk singers in the world, The
Clancy Brothers from Carrick-On-Suir in the county
Tipperary were already a famous group during Dylan's early
folkie days. For the Dylan show, they were joined by their
longtime musical associate and special guest Tommy Makem
as well as their nephew Robbie O'Connell for a haunting
traditional take on "When The Ship Comes In," a
stirring ballad which first appeared on "The Times
They Are A-Changin'" album. The Brothers flew in from
Ireland specifically to play the show.
Rosanne Cash, Mary Chapin-Carpenter, and Shawn Colvin - a
trio of the most gifted singer-songwriters around and
major Bob Dylan fans all - teamed up to trade verse for a
gorgeous, harmony-drenched cover of "You Ain't Goin'
Nowhere," a "Basement Tapes" gem that was
rerecorded by Dylan with Happy Traum for 1972's "Bob
Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II" set, as well as being
a standout cut on The Byrd's 1968 classic
"Sweethearts Of The Rodeo" album.
Another kindred spirit and inspired party guest who turned
in a great performance was Neil Young, who somehow
transformed the M. G.'s and drumming ace Jim Keltner into
a fantastically loose, Crazy Horse-styled outfit for a
strong reading of "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues"
from "Highway 61 Revisited", and an extended,
fiery version of "All Along The Watchtower" that
borrowed some of its kinetic power from Jimi Hendrix's
famed reworking of the "John Wesley Harding"
song.
Everyone from Sting to Bette Midler to the Heptones has
covered "I Shall Be Released," but Chrissie
Hynde, the gifted Pretenders auteur, managed to make the
song her own with a radiant performance at the Dylan
event, featuring some prominent keyboard assistance from
Paul Shaffer. The song was part of the famed
"Basement Tapes", written and casually recorded
with The Band at Big Pink in Woodstock in 1967, and
subsequently covered by The Band for its extraordinary
1968 debut.
The traditionally show-stopping Eric Clapton, who
performed a duet with Dylan on "Sing Language"
from his "No Reason To Cry" album in 1976, came
through with a startling and moving performance at the
celebration. The highlight of his set - which also
included a luminous "Love Minus Zero, No Limit"
- was a truly revelatory rendition of "Don't Think
Twice, It's Alright," from "The Freewheelin' Bob
Dylan," that Clapton and Booker T. Jones rearranged
into a seductive new bluesy masterpiece, complete with
some incendiary soloing from the guitar master himself.
Famed for such seventies soul smashes as "Back
Stabbers," "Love Train" and "For The
Love Of Money," The O'Jays had a Top Five R&B hit
with "Emotionally Yours," a delicate love song
form 1985's "Empire Burlesque" that the group
recorded in two completely different arrangements on its
1990 "Emotionally Yours" album. Backed by a
gospel choir featuring the great Cissy Houston, The O'Jays
brought a churchy spirit to the festivities with their
stately version of the song.
The history of The Band is, of course, inextricably tied
to that of Bob Dylan. It was only fitting, then, that the
current incarnation of The Band - featuring original
members Levon Helm, Rich Danko and Garth Hudson - came
together for a fine, loose-grooving version of "When
I Paint My Masterpiece." The song was originally
recorded with Leon Russell on piano in 1971 for "Bob
Dylan's Greatest Hits, Vol. II," the same year that
it became a highlight of The Band's album
"Cahoots."
A fellow Traveling Wilbury and longtime friend, George
Harrison goes way back with Dylan. Before their prominent
Wilbury collaboration, Dylan and the newly former Beatle
co-wrote "I'd Have You Anytime" for Harrison's
"All Things Must Pass," the 1970 album for which
Harrison also recorded a version of Dylan's "If Not
For You." For the celebration, Harrison returned to
Madison Square Garden, site of the 1971 Concerts For
Bangladesh, and utterly charmed the crowd by delivering an
exquisite, clearly loving rendition of "Absolutely
Sweet Marie" from "Blonde On Blonde."
Tom Petty (another wildly talented Wilbury brother in good
standing) and the eternally impressive Heartbreakers
recorded and toured the world extensively with Dylan for a
period during the mid-eighties. At the Dylan event, Petty
& The Heartbreakers - guitarist Mike Campbell,
keyboardist Benmont Tench, bassist Howie Epstein and
drummer Stan Lynch - peak form, offering a totally
inspired and subtle reading of "License To
Kill," an undedrappreciated number from Dylan's 1983
"Infidels" album. Switching gears brilliantly,
they tore into a wild, rollicking rave-up performance of
"Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" from the
"Blonde On Blonde" album, that brought the house
down.
Roger McGuinn, founder of The Byrds, has been a major
interpreter of Dylan's material over the years. In 1965,
he and other Byrds transformed Dylan's "Mr.
Tambourine Man" into a global smash, and went on to
record many other Dylan compositions, including "All
I Really Want To Do," "You Ain't Goin'
Nowhere," "My Back Pages" and "Chimes
Of Freedom." Joined by Tom Petty & The
Heartbreakers, McGuinn and his Rickenbacker let "Mr.
Tambourine Man" ring out wonderfully one more time.
As for the man himself, Dylan began his own set with
"Song To Woody," a moving composition from his
debut album that remains a gracious salute to Dylan's own
early influence, Woody Guthrie. Unfortunately, technical
problems prevent the song's inclusion here. Dylan followed
with a wonderfully intense rendition of "It's
Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" from "Bringing
It All Back Home," that served as a vivid reminder of
his incomparable acoustic power. "My Back
Pages," originally from 1964's "Another Side Of
Bob Dylan," became a history-making group effort,
with McGuinn, Petty, Young, Clapton, Dylan and Harrison
all trading off the classic verses. Then "Knockin' On
Heaven's Door" - the elegiac standard from the
"Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid" soundtrack
recently covered by Guns N' Roses - brought all the
evening's players out for a memorable ensemble encore.
Finally, after the television satellite feed was shut
down, Bob Dylan generously returned to the stage for a
lovely, understated version of "Girl Of The North
Country" that proved one more time what one man can
do armed only with his voice, guitar, and extraordinary
songs.
