Bob Dylan - The Genuine Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Celebration - 4 DVDs
Also called "The Bobfest"

DVDylan ID: D487 (http://dvdylan.com/dvd/D487)

Screenshots: http://dvdylan.com/dvd/D487/shots
Artwork: http://dvdylan.com/dvd/D487/artwork

Recording type: ProShot

City/Venue: New York, NY, USA /Madison Square Garden/October 16, 1992

This set brings together all available rehearsals, interviews, extras, and performances. It was
compiled in the spirit of other "Genuine" sets, eg., The Genuine Basement Tapes, where all available
resources are sought for the sake of completeness. It thus includes three pre-broadcast
performances, two by G.E. Smith and one by John Hammond, Jr., that are not included on previous
DVD sets, as well as interviews that were conducted with the performers. It also restores the
original order of the pre-broadcast and broadcast performances. Finally, Disk 4 contains an
overdubbed version of My Back Pages, the one in which Dylan's vocal was "improved". Also see
D343, D050, D050.3 and D829.

Number of discs: 4

This four-disk set is culled from the best available sources and was professionally-edited and authored by Backpages.
Except for the G.E. Smith and John Hammond, Jr. pre-broadcast performances, the quality is excellent. The Smith and
Hammond performances were transferred from a 3rd generation tape and are thus only fair video quality with audio
static. Also see D343, D050, D050.3 and D829.

DVD Reviews

DVD Review #1:
I might be wrong, but I don't believe that Sony/Columbia has made their own watered-down version of
"Bobfest" available on DVD. Their VHS/laser disc and double CD releases capture some of the highlights of this
event, but the fan-made four DVD set, "The Genuine Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Celebration," is easily the most
comprehensive document available. Disc one features two versions of Dylan and Eric Clapton rehearsing "It
Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry." Because this was a live pay-per-view event, the show had to end
by a certain time, so this song was cut. The first rehearsal run-through of this 1965 classic is awe-inspiring and
should have been included on the official CD release. Clapton soulfully shares vocal duties with Dylan and of
course contributes some of his mythological guitar playing. The first disc also contains interviews with some of
the participating musicians. Clapton's anecdote about playing with Dylan is amusing, and it is moving to see the
late Rick Danko express his admiration.

Disc two shows G.E. Smith playing a couple Dylan covers before the actual broadcast began. His guitar playing
on "From a Buick 6" took the top of my head right off. This pre-broadcast footage is in very poor video quality,
but I'm sure it was the best available to the producer(s) of this set. This particular disc also has Lou Reed
turning Dylan's "Foot of Pride" into a weapon of mass destruction. In one of the night's many surreal moments,
Lou introduces Willie Nelson, whose performance of "What Was it You Wanted" is superior to Willie's Don Was
produced studio version.

Disc three has a wonderfully jaunty version of "When I Paint My Masterpiece" by the Band. The official audio CD
left off Clapton's interpretation of "Love Minus Zero/ No Limit." Thankfully it's included on disc three, and we can
enjoy the comically intense stare G.E. gives Clapton at the song's end. Ron Wood's raucous version of "Seven
Days" is also a treat for fans of this tune Dylan hasn't performed much himself.

Disc four has George Harrison doing "If Not For You," a song absent from both the official audio and video
releases. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' joyous and irreverent rendition of "Rainy Day Women" is one of my
favorite Dylan covers of all time. Watch and listen to the late Howie Eptein's incredible lap steel guitar playing on
this. The final disc also includes Dylan's entire performance, including "Song to Woody." This tune is missing from
all official releases because I don't think his acoustic guitar was plugged into the soundboard. His vocal
microphone picks up enough of his strumming and this "tribute within a tribute" is sung with squinty-eyed
conviction.

There is something on here for everyone, and your own favorite parts can be quickly accessed by the user-
friendly menu. The menu has a unique, three-dimensional cube design which I find exceedingly cool. I tip my
Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat to those responsible for this tremendous DVD set, and I recommend it to anybody who
wants to take the full tour of "Bobfest." Five Stars.

DVD Review #2:
This set is absolutely a must have for any Dylan DVD collector.

The authoring, sourcing, artwork, menus, and meticulous compilation are all professional grade to be sure. This
set looks good on the shelf, and even better on the screen. We are certainly indebted to the hard work of all
involved. Bravo!

Personally, I won't be watching discs 1 and 2 more than once or twice. The line up reflects a wonderful display of
Dylans influence and a moving show of respect, and of course drips with talent. However, few of the
performances are really too special to me. I will mention a swinging 'Emotionally Yours' from the O'Jays as a
highlight for me. I like Willie Nelson on 'What was it you wanted'. Cool choice, Willie. Also, I have to mention the
greats Stevie Wonder.

Discs 3 and 4 have already seen repeated viewing at my house, and I'll watch em again and again I expect.
The interviews are really nice, sometimes moving, and fun to watch. The rehersal stuff is very interesting and so
much nicer than my old VHS version. I'm a big fan of the 'behind the scenes' footage that is around, and this cast
cant be beat.

Back to the stage: George, Roger Mcguin, and Tom Petty are OK but forgetable. Then the Man of the Hour
returning triumphant, 'back to New York City'.

A great mini set, each song full of feeling and obviously carefully chosen. All excellent performances. The
ensemble on My Back Pages is great, as are all the acoustic tunes. Hell, its all great.

Again, my thanks and admiration to everyone involved in bringing this set together. This is one of the most
professional, tasteful, and elegant fan projects I've seen and, if Dylan DVDs are your sort of thing, a 5 star must
have. Five Stars

DVD Review #3:
This is a very special set of DVD's. It is a real labour of love, compiling the best available footage, and presenting
it in an immaculately and attractively authored form. The no longer available "Official" release had several
important ommisions from the running order, and some overdubs. Here we get everything, from rehearsal
footage to interviews - even wonderfully designed covers. (Some of the footage is of lesser quality than the
excellent stuff that probably comes from the Laserdisc release). So, technically, this is as good as it will get,
because you can be sure that if they ever get round to re-releasing this, an awful lot of the stuff on here will be
missing...

As to the artistic content, well it was an amazing concert. Dozens of stars in the same venue, but with no
clashes of ego's as everyone was there for Bob. When they got their brief moment in the spotlight each and
every act gave a special, heartfelt performance. (My personal highlights would be Neil Young's blistering
"Watchtower" and "Tom Thumb", Levon leading The Band through "Masterpiece" and George Harrison's "Sweet
Marie") The Houseband comprising Booker T and the M.G.'s, supplemented by Jim Keltner and G.E.Smith, is
astounding in it's own right!

In summation, then, this is an absolutely "Must Have" set for any Dylan acolyte, and everyone connected with
it's construction is to be congratulated on their achievement , and thanked profusely for their efforts... Five Stars
