1970s - #4: On December 8, 1975, Bob Dylan brought the Rolling Thunder review to New York's Madison Square Garden for the final concert of that triumphant tour. The concert was also a benefit for boxer Rueben "Hurricane" Carter, who Dylan had written about in his song Hurricane. That tune alleged that Carter had been the victim of racism, leading to a unfair trial that convicted him of a murder he did not commit. The concert raised over $100,000 for Carter's legal expenses. The on January 25, 1976, 5 decades ago today, Dylan held a second benefit for Carter, this time in Houston. Also on the bill were Stevie Wonder, Isaac Hayes, Dr. John, Shawn Phillips, along with special guests Ringo Starr, Stephen Stills, Richie Havens, and Carlos Santana. Thanks to the public attention brought to the case by the concerts and the song, Carter eventually won the right to a new trial, but was again convicted. Finally, in 1985, that conviction was overturned, with the US District Court in NJ stating that the case had been "based on racism rather than reason and concealment rather than disclosure." This TV soundboard recordimng captures Stephen Stills at that 2nd benefit for Carter in the Astrodome.
Sounds like Speedy is snowed in but that hasn’t stopped him posting and apart from his re-posting several collections there is this . . . . . I’ll keep me mouth shut as I got into trouble going banging on about Stills t’other day
