Bob Dylan - 1975-12-08 - Madison Square Garden, NY (SBD)

On December 8, 1975, 37 years ago today, 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. Thanks to the public attention brought to the case by the concert 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." Dylan and the Rolling Thunder troop pulled out all the stops for the benefit show, playing a monstrous 2 set concert, featuring over 50 songs. Download this soundboard recording to hear Dylan tell the “the story of the Hurricane, the man the authorities came to blame.”
