Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration To Be Released
Featuring performances by Johnny Cash, Lou Reed & more.
Columbia Records & Legacy Recordings are set to release Bob Dylan - The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration - Deluxe Edition for the first time on DVD and Blu-ray.
The release features full footage of the concert at Madison Square Garden in New York in October 1992 which saw the live gathering of musical giants to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Bob Dylan's first Columbia Records album in 1962. Icons like Eric Clapton and Johnny Cash play the Dylan songs that had inspired them; from the classic (John Mellencamp's no-nonsense "Like A Rolling Stone") to the obscure (Lou Reed's acerbic take on "Foot of Pride").
The concert film will be released this March on CD, DVD and Blu-Ray and is struck from a High Definition video master with remastered audio.
