22 years ago today: the 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration at Madison Square Garden, New York. G.E. Smith, who was the event’s musical director, said about this concert: “The rehearsals for that Dylan concert you wouldnt believe. I was rehearsing with George Harrison in the morning, Eric Clapton in the afternoon, and Lou Reed at night. One afternoon, rehearsing the finale, I had Harrison, Tom Petty, Clapton, Neil Young, Dylan and Roger McGuinn all lined up and Im saying, ‘OK, George you sing here, Eric you play now, Bob you come in here.’” (May 28, 1999)
