Bob Dylan and the Band Play Madison Square Garden January 30, 1974
This show was one of three at the Garden. It was the first time Dylan had toured in eight years. He and The Band had just released the album Planet Waves. Tickets could only be obtained via a lottery. My roommate at Fordham had scored a couple but he had no spares. I lucked out, though. A guy in one of my classes sold me his extra for the January 31 afternoon show at face value. I was awestruck the entire show. Here's a review.

In late July 1970, a rock fest was supposed to happen, but the authorities cancelled it. People showed up anyway...
