amazing footage!

[youspoppa]

Is that G.E. Smith from the Saturday Night Live band, music-directing at the beginning?

[APR613]

@youspoppa Yes, that is G.E. Smith.

ALGUIEN ME PUEDE DECIR QUIEN APARECE EN ESTE VIDEO??? MUCHAS GRACIAS SOLO RECONOSCO A CLAPTON

[PeachTristan]

Lot of rhythm guitars swingin' round in this one

[kingdingle]

Vedder just hanging out on the back couch soaking it all in, pretty cool in itself.

[adriaansmit81]

Woops, forgot to turn on the mics! I hate the person who did that!!!!

[bichomaldito]

Somebody turn on the mics, for Christ sakes!!

[MrRonnieG]

@azzaboi93 ~ Didn't I notice George Harrison? I was 17 years old when the Beatles made their 1st appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in February of 1964. I owned every single Beatles' record album ever recorded, saw every Beatles' movie (Hard Day's Night, Help, Yellow Submarine, Magical Mystery Tour and Let It Be), attended their 1966 concert at Dodger Stadium in L.A., bought my 1st Beatles' 45 RPM record in early February '64 and grew up with them. Did I notice him? Kinda.

[MrRonnieG]

@tenparab ~ At 1:48, talking to Clapton, is G.E. Smith who was the musical director of Dylan's 30th Anniversary Concert. Smith was, at one time, the lead gutiar player for Hall & Oates and also played lead gutiar in Dylan's 1988-1990 touring band. From 1980-82 he was married to the late Gilda Radner. Smith was also, at one time, the musical director for Saturday Night Live.

[MrRonnieG]

@tenparab ~ at about 1:40, talking to Harrison with back to camera, is Roger McGuinn.

[tenparab]

whose the guy talking to Clapton at about 1.48...please ?

[4FabBEATLES]

IALL of them were/are great musicians and all of them admired and respected eachother's work and secretly wished they'd written at least 1 song 1 of the others had written! Luckily they were all good friedns and able to put aside all their egos and fame to form one amazing tribute to Bob Dylan as well as participate in many other little get togethers/jamsover the years.

[fretkillrlives]

Could this be a vision of "rock star heaven"? Dylan's lyrics are so abstract that everyone needs to read off the page. Dylan's original recording of MBP was a waltz.

[bobbytee1959]

@theart1rm-I think you are talking about roger McGuinn, who stats the song on guitar and sings the first verse.

[abdiellost]

DISFRÚTENLO... GENIOS Y DIOSES TRABAJANDO!!!

[labourRED1]

yes its on daily motion

[kc7fys]

Look at Neil! He's got those cool clothes on even for this rehearsal. Everybody's got sweatpants, etc. and Neil's all decked out.

[theart1rm]

Whos the guy in the black top that isn't Eric Clapton?

[lyricarol]

@theart1rm Roger McGuinn

[ghodium]

better to die and be reborn than never die at all

[ghodium]

dylan dodgin people's games

[joshngoldberg]

Where is the youtube link to the actual concert performance?

[APR613]

@joshngoldberg It was removed by Youtube for copyright issues. You can find it on "dailymotion" if it's still there.

[hardrain65]

what's with Beatlesaus'ing george all the time??

[misterdirtyknees]

Oh my God. If I was there I would have just shit my pants.

[MsAnnestube]

I cant find any clip on the Traveling Wilbury...but it look's like a beginning here of that band

[edcoll61]

@MsAnnestube Hi..here's a little background on the Wilburys...they formed in 1988, 5 years before this clip was shot. George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty and Roy Orbison comprised the band. Together with Jim Keltner, they recorded a song for the B side of a Harrison single. In May of 1988, they made their first album which was released in October 1988. Tragically, a few weeks after the albums release, Orbison died of a heart attack.

[vandalgonz]

What I would give to be in that room......

[burnsybaby1987]

Dylan...Harrison...old soulmates. Their relationship went back to the mid 60's.

[MrRonnieG]

Everyone gives Clapton the "heads up" when it comes to THE gutiar player of the group but McGuinn can make that 12 string electric Rickenbacker come to life AND Neil Young is just outstanding as well. What I wouldn't give to have these guys sitting around in my living room, drinking brews and smoking a few while playing their musical instrument of choice. The landscape of my youth included every one of these guys and I'm hoping Dylan does it again in 2012 to celebrate 50 years.

[azzaboi93]

@MrRonnieG Didn't you notice Mr. George Harrison

[MrRonnieG]

McGuinn's not the only one packing a 12 string!

[smallstreams]

Hilarious! Roses smell great, so rose soup must be terrific. Needs more Steve Cropper.

[ohiodixiechick2]

George could have started My Back Pages off much better than McGwinn. Good thing Neil & then Tom came in. Dylan is looking like he doesn't like this arrangement much & ready to change it, ha,ha! Great seeing these fellowmen just hang out. Love it...Neil's jacket reads George Jones.

[quasardog]

Wow!!!!! Thank you for posting this gem!!!!!

[APR613]

@quasardog I'm glad you liked it!!!

[savedfaves]

*typos when drunk

[savedfaves]

Guys in comments saying everyone here must secretly envy Neil Young. I think you'll find most of these guys are their one person and you're probably just judging them and that those feelings of envy are yours.

[APR613]

@savedfaves You're absolutely right! I envy the talents of *all* of those guys! (Neil Young just happens to be my favorite) :-)

[kingalow1]

everyone here must secretly envy Neil Young - always the most passionate, loudest, authentic, tireless, badass motherfucker in the room.

[APR613]

@kingalow1 AMEN!!! :-)

[thesubtleface]

@kingalow1 Yes I agree. And of course an incredible performance by him on the night! Would have loved to have seen him and another idol of mine George Harrison have a laugh and a chat!

[kingalow1]

ego central

[SuperGuitar1959]

would love to have a copy of the 30th version

[APR613]

@SuperGuitar1959 It's on dailymotion website. Youtube won't let me post the link.

[Sonnenwirthle]

Anybody able to lip-read? Like, what are Dylan and Petty talking about at 9:28?

[fguka]

it'd be so awesome to have beer or smoke a j with these guys

[ghodium]

he just can't stand such direct adoration. give the man a beer, and i'll have some too

[shepanrontyron]

Wow. I live this song, I　love Dylan but Dylan sucks here! The actual 30th anniversary live version is much better!

Clapton's guitar solo is unmistakeable!!

[APR613]

@shepanrontyron Thank you for commenting. Yes, I agree. The actual 30th live version was much better, but that has been removed from Youtube by Youtube! ;( If you know someone who has the source file, please let me know. ;-)

[shepanrontyron]

@APR613

Hey.

You can watch the actual live versioin on dailymotion

[APR613]

@shepanrontyron Thank you so much. I really missed that one!

[glovemonkey]

@APR613 i have it but its in two parts a very large file could poss upload to pirate bay if wanted

@sagan040924 コメントありがとうございます。時間が早すぎる渡します。^^

[maluira]

ME GUSTA

[APR613]

@maluira Gracias. Me gusta también!

[chairmanmeow1973]

Dylan looks like hes in a really shitty mood. Clapton looks well afraid of him during that changeover

[APR613]

@chairmanmeow1973 I got the impression that Dylan forgot the lyrics, he came in a bit late, and Clapton kind of made light of it. ;-)

[Mastas999]

It's sooo sad to think that in today's music industry ... you put bieber gaga kesha katie perry and others on stage people would freak out saying omg this is amazing but no no ... THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!

[APR613]

@Mastas999 That is sad, isn't it? This is another reason for the renewed interest in 60's and 70's rock. It was so much better (the music, the talent), at least for me it is. They are "The Mount Rushmore" of rock & roll! Also, let's not forget Jimmy Page and Robert Plant either! Thank you for your comment.

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.

[BERVILL77]

solo los mejores, muy buena cancion.

[RADLADRICK]

wow, look how young they were.

Clapton, Harrison,,they changed their image over the years

[APR613]

@RADLADRICK Neil Young looks quite different now too!

[henrylegriab]

Coincido contigo, MrCostanica. George tenía un gran espíritu, un gran corazón, y eso le valió tener como amigos a muchos de los más grandes músicos de rock en la historia de este mundo. John era un rebelde, un inconforme con la sociedad, con lo establecido, y así lo plasmó en muchas de las letras de sus canciones. Paul siempre compuso más pensando en el bolsillo que en otra cosa. Y Ringo... bueno pues Ringo era Ringo.

[MrCostanica]

Creo que Harrison fue el beatle que tuvo mas amigos musicos,talvez era el mas amigable y cercano a los demas

[GodStarRevisited69]
