The epic three-hour-plus event, which took place October 16, 1992, at New York’s Madison Square Garden, features performances by a jaw-dropping lineup of stars joining Dylan in honor of the folk-rock legend’s incredible career.
Among the many famous artists who participated in the concert were George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Stevie Wonder, John Mellencamp, Lou Reed, Pearl Jam‘s Eddie Vedder and Mike McCready, Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, Willie Nelson and The O’Jays. The historic performance featured the various stars singing a diverse selection of tunes from Dylan’s catalog, from classic hits to obscure gems. Bob himself brought the show to an end with a four-song set that culminated with all-star finale featuring renditions of “My Back Pages” and “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.”
