Bob Dylan road mates

As elusive as he may be to fans and media, Bob Dylan clearly likes company — at least when it comes to being on the road.

This summer, he’s doing another tour of minor league ballparks, with friends Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp along for the ride. Sharing the bill is nothing unusual for Dylan, however, as he has a long history of giving his fans a little something extra for their money.

Here’s a list of just some of the artists who have toured with him over the years:

The Band (1974)

The Rolling Thunder Revue (Joan Baez, Roger MGuinn) (1975)

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (1986)

The Grateful Dead (1987)

Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell (1998)

Paul Simon (1999)

Willie Nelson (2004)

Merle Haggard (2006)

Elvis Costello (2007)

Bands at Woodstock ‘69 and ‘94

To commemorate the 25th aniversary of Woodstock, another music festival was arranged for upstate New York. Originally tabbed “Two More Days of Peace and Music,” the festival actually was expanded to a third day, thus running August 12-14, 1994.

This time, the venue was a field in Saugerties, New York, about 10 miles from Woodstock, that had been proposed for the 1969 event. (The original “Woodstock” actually was held in Bethel, N.Y.)

Obviously, a few things had changed over the quarter century that had lapsed, but several acts from the ‘69 event were still willing to return in ‘94. That (short) list includes:

The Band
Crosby, Stills & Nash
Joe Cocker
Country Joe McDonald
Santana

Bands at Woodstock ‘69

Bill Sullivan — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 14:45:45 +0000

Among the many myths about Woodstock that have endured with the general public for nearly 40 years: That the famed music festival was actually held in Woodstock, N.Y.

Originally, the town was supposed to host the event, but backed out when rumors spread predicting a much larger than expected turnout. As a result, the show moved to an alfalfa field in Bethel, about 40 miles away, and the rest is…well, history.

In all, 32 acts appeared over the course of the four day event, held August 15-18, 1969. Here’s the lineup, in alphabetical order:
