There are many fine renditions of Dylan's classics here (but none by the man himself!) such as Highway 61, Seven Days, Absolutely Sweet Marie, Rainy Day Women, You Aint Goin Nowhere etc. but for my money listening to Roger McGuinn's "Mr Tambourine Man" is sheer bliss, absolute perfection in music.
When are they going to release the DVD???!!!!
A few of my favorite performances were... (not in any particular order)
1) Chapman - The Times They Are A-Changin'
2) Vedder & McReady - Masters Of War
3) Johnny Winter - Highway 61
4) The Clancey Brothers - When The Ship Comes In (in 5 part harmony!)
5) Claptons awsome rendition of Don't Think Twice, It's Alright
Of course there was Sinead O'Connor getting BOO'd off the stage, lol.
And I shan't forget Rock-n-Rolls "backbone"... Booker T & The MG's!!!
It's too bad "Maggies Farm" was forgotten. I love that tune.
The best part of that song is seeing it. McGuinn comes on stage looking incredibly nervous, like a deer in headlights. When the song starts he stands straight and stiff and you feel bad for the poor guy. Slowly, he starts bobbing his head and then he just snaps into it. You're right, it's one of the best performances of that show. Personally, I liked Vedder singing "Masters of War" and Lour Reed doing "Foot of Pride"...hell, it's difficult to find a "bad" performance in that set.
As far as the DVD, I'm guessing it's one of those things tied into Harrison's estate, just like the Travelling Wilbury albums, don't hold your breath.

I think Neil Youngs version of All Along The Watchtower was the best and the booing of Sinead O'Connor shows how religon can hurt!

"It's too bad "Maggies Farm" was forgotten."
Yep, Sinead O'Connor should have sung that instead of the other Bob!
"Ronnie Wood SINGS BETTER THAN KEITH RICHARDS"
Who doesn't ? ;)
