Footnotes
Provenance:
From the private collection of Harvey Goldsmith
Only six weeks before the concert was scheduled Bob Dylan personally called Harvey Goldsmith asking for his help with the project. The promotion company he had been using was out of its depth with a project of this scale. Dylan knew Harvey was the right promotor to have on board for such a large and impressive line-up. Harvey accepted the job and simply knuckled down to ensure that it was well organised and managed properly. Although many of the acts had been approached by Dylan and his team to perform, it was only when they knew that Harvey was the promotor that they confirmed they would be available to play, many of whom had worked with Harvey previously. This concert was a huge event for Bob Dylan celebrating his career. It was also an important anniversary concert as it became one of the first big events of this nature to happen in the USA. Previously it was stadium events in Europe which had dominated the scene.
