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.
