Bob Dylan - 'The Complete Nara’ Japan : 1994 with Orchestra | Peter Stone Brown Archives

THE GREAT MUSIC EXPERIENCE! 

Celebrating Bob Dylan full set here for his birthday!

 Now I had been looking for this for ages since first seeing it on my telly box in the corner of my room! I do recall being absolutely staggered at our Bob singing in front of such an orchestra and given the stories about his stage fright from before The Concert for Bangladesh (from George I think? ‘pacing and throwing up?) how did he manage to pull this off with just his little acoustic guitar!? Even if you just listen to the opening track of ‘Hard Rain’ it is your song of the day and no mistake . . . . . . What other song would you sing to the world?

Anyhow . . . . . And now y’ere ’tis! . . . . .  and upgraded! 


Background :
THE GREAT MUSIC EXPERIENCE was a concert starring Japanese and international musicians staged at the eighth century Buddhist temple of Tōdai-ji, in Nara, Japan. The concert, held over three nights (May 20 - May 22 1994) and partly backed by UNESCO, took place in front of the world's largest wooden building, housing the largest Buddha statue


(AI?not entirely sure how this has been adjusted with AI but it plays and sounds wonderful as did the original broadcast as memory serves as it took my breath away at the time)  

just under 28 minutes long . . . .
