索尼唱片将发行鲍勃•迪伦纪念演唱会DVD/CD

    Sony Music Entertainment said it would release “Bob Dylan — The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration,” a new, high-definition* DVD/CD edition of the concert at Madison Square Garden. The show marked Dylan’s 30-year recording career with Columbia Records, now a division of Sony. PBS began airing the new version yesterday.

    The lineup that night included Beatle George Harrison, Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and members of The Band and Pearl Jam.

    Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Lou Reed, Richie Havens, John Mellencamp, Tracy Chapman, The Clancy Brothers, Booker T and the MGs, and G.E. Smith also performed.

    “It was incredible,” Smith, a former Saturday Night Live bandleader, recalled. “I’ve done a lot of things but never anything like that, with so many great people in the same place. Because it was for Bob Dylan it felt like it really meant something to everyone there.”

    Over the years, new interviews with performers and producers offer fresh glimpses into the concert.

    In the ensuing* 22 years, Dylan released several critically acclaimed albums of his career, wrote a best-selling memoir and won an Academy Award, a Pulitzer prize, the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom, and seven of his 11 Grammys.
