hecube Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 What a mess! There's too much confusion... Jimmy sure knows how to stand out in the crowd Also, can you imagine if a bomb had gone off on stage how many guitar greats would have disappeared?

SuperDave Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 These all star jams are too much and are almost always very sloppy. This may be better on the Zep and Related YouTube thread over on the Master Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swandown Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 That's a killer version. I think Neil captures the spirit perfectly. Up until recently, there were very few clips of the 1992 Hall Of Fame show in circulation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkV7t3XOT7Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom kid Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 That was alright I guess, would rather listen to the version of Neil doing it at the Bob Dylan anniversary concert though. How sloppy was that solo of Jimmy's? He must have been having a few with Keef backstage who was looking elegantly wasted as per usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually quite epic. That was a great show with the exception of the who Sinead O'Connor thing. But she has herself to blame for that. Ruined her own career with that stab at Pope John Paul II, just a bit prior to this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't necessarily agree with what she did, she obviously felt strongly enough about it to do it live on national television. I don't think it's any different than the controversy surrounding Dylan going electric at Newport or Neil Young recording a succession of decidedly "uncommercial" albums for Geffen back in the 80s.

I was at the Dylan tribute, and I wouldn't compare what she did to Dylan going electric or Neil Young's Geffen phase. Dylan and Young made musical decisions. What Sinead did had nothing to do with music at all. Everyone in the Garden, including the artists, was there to honor Bob, and she made it all about her. As someone who was there, it was a big "turd in the punchbowl" moment, and that's why she got booed. And I'm sure it wasn't just Catholics booing her.

Thats a really bad analogy. She basically ruined her career on that night, and it had nothing to do with music. Dylan made it past Newport, and Neil Young (this is a strectch), survived shitty Neil Young albums in the 80's. The controversy surrounding these events are really not comparable...as well.

I don't think it's any different than the controversy surrounding Dylan going electric at Newport or Neil Young recording a succession of decidedly "uncommercial" albums for Geffen back in the 80s. I forgot to mention that Sinead refused to perform at a show in NJ around the same time, if the National Anthem (Star Spangled Banner) was played. I think it was at the Garden State Arts Center in Holmdel. I think at least up until then, it was always played before a performance there. It wasn't played as they didn't want the show canceled so the management of the venue gave in. During this time, when Sinatra was still alive he went after her for making a big stink about this and how she had no respect for the USA etc., but could easily accept money for a performance there. Don't know if this is exact, but something like this as it was about twenty years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireOpal Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Sinead turned out to be right, though - and way ahead of the curve in terms of talking about the Catholic church not doing enough to protect children from abuse. A lot of people at the time were like, "WTF is she talking about" but now we know. MStork, could you explain what you mean by "she made it all about her"? I thought she just walked out to sing a Dylan song and before she could get a line out, people started booing her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought she just walked out to sing a Dylan song and before she could get a line out, people started booing her. While the whole "tearing up the picture" thing had happened previously on SNL, she was greeted by a mix of cheers and boos. If you look it up on YouTube (I don't know how to embed a YouTube video on my iPad), there were easily more cheers than boos. Instead of plowing ahead and singing, she stepped back from the mic and told the band to stop, basically making herself a martyr. THEN the boos overtook the cheers. If she'd just launched into a Dylan song like everyone else did I'm sure she would have won the crowd over because she's a beautiful singer and we were all there to honor and celebrate Bob and his music. Instead of doing that she made the moment all about her in my opinion. As a side note, that concert was the one and only time I got to see George Harrison play live. What a blessing!
