Monday Music: "My Back Pages" (30th Anniversary Concert)

"I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now." 

Today is Bob Dylan's 80 birthday. To mark the occasion here is a clip featuring Dylan's song, "My Back Pages." A veritable Who's Who of musicians were on hand to celebrate Bob Dylan's 30th anniversary in the music industry back in 1992. Almost another 30 years later and the man is still at it with his latest record album, Rough and Rowdy Ways, having been released just last year.

Dylan Covers: My Back Pages

This week I have been posting videos of other singers performing the music of Bob Dylan, in honor of his 77th birthday (May 24). I have only posted 16 covers out of the many hundreds that are out there.

Dylan said in Martin Scorsese's 2005 documentary, No Direction Home that "an artist has got to be careful never really to arrive at a place where he thinks he is at somewhere. You always have to realize that you are constantly in a state of becoming."

The following video is a one of my favorites. This rendition of "My Back Pages" is from Bob Dylan's 30th Anniversary Concert in 1992. It is a veritable Who's Who of musicians on hand to celebrate his music.

This week we celebrate the artist who is "constantly in a state of becoming."
