Bob Dylan and his Rolling Thunder Revue entourage – including Joan Baez, Allen Ginsberg, Roger McGuinn, Kinky Friedman, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, and Mick Ronson – arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah on May 25, 1976 to play the final show of their all-star caravan tour at the Salt Palace arena.
“It included a little bit of everything,” noted The Daily Utah Chronicle writer Jeff Howry in his review of the concert. “Exceptionally high quality music, a couple of nostalgia-inspiring Sixties music heroes, an aging poet of the Beat generation, and a living legend were all part of the bill…...

When Nicolette Larson was growing up in Kansas City, Missouri, she’d ask her friends to drive over bumpy roads so she could show off her Neil Young impression. As the truck moved up and down, she’d break out into a shaky vibrato.
Just a few years later, the singer found herself in a pickup again, this time with the very man she once emulated. Young — who first worked with Larson on his 1977 LP American Stars ‘n Bars, and briefly dated her afterward — was driving her around his Northern...

A day after being named the 2022 MusiCares Person of the Year, Joni Mitchell has dropped a live performance of “Chelsea Morning,” taken from her 1969 Carnegie Hall performance.
Mitchell kicked off the set with the Song to a Seagull track, just before fans gifted her with a giant Valentine. “She had the crowd immediately on her side when she began the song, but for some reason stopped and had to start it again,” Graham Nash, her partner at the time, recalls. “Right after that, some people from the crowd gave Joni a large,...

Two decades after Cameron Crowe’s “Almost Famous” hit theaters for the first time, its story of a rookie music journalist traveling the nation with a band on the brink of stardom remains timeless—as do the costumes, even with their ’70s flair.
Costume designer Betsy Heimann already had an impressive arsenal of credits behind her before the film’s debut in 2000, including “Reservoir Dogs,” “Pulp Fiction” and Crowe’s “Jerry Maguire.” However, the autobiographical nature of “Almost Famous,” which was based off of Crowe’s own adventures on tour with bands like Led Zeppelin, The Allman Brothers and The Eagles, allowed Heimann to, as she puts it, “keep it real.”
She found a wealth of inspiration in Crowe’s own tour photographs, in addition to those of photographer Joel Bernstein from Neil Young’s “Time Fades Away” tour in 1973. Though Heimann handmade all of the staple pieces in the film,...

David Crosby has a golden voice and has had a storied career as part of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and the Byrds, having sung or written songs that were the soundtrack of the Woodstock generation. Even if you don’t know his name, you recognize some of his songs. You have to admire his talent but as a person, David Crosby is less admirable and more complicated, as interviewer Cameron Crowe reveals in the first-rate documentary David Crosby: Remember My Name.
The title is apt, as one of the first thing that comes up when others talk about the singer/songwriter is his ego. Cameron Crowe is the producer,...

Just 24 hours before Neil Young jammed with the Band at “The Last Waltz” in San Francisco, he was in Atlanta to play two shows in a single evening at the Fox Theater. It was November 24th, 1976, and he should have been exhausted after a grueling year on the road with both Crazy Horse and the Stills-Young Band, but he was somehow playing in absolute peak form. The second concert of the evening opened up with a solo acoustic rendition of the 1969 Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere classic “The Losing End.

The final session on Monday at TheWrap’s TheGrill conference was a snap: Filmmaker Cameron Crowe discussed a handful iconic music photographs with legendary rock photographers Joel Bernstein and Neal Preston. Crowe and the two photographers gathered at the Montage Beverly Hills to discuss the ins and outs of a series of 1960s and ’70s pictures of stars like Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Page and Marvin Gaye, recapturing some of the magic that led to those fleeting flashes of serendipity. The first image they brought up was Bernstein’s shot of late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury gesticulating on stage at London’s Wembley Stadium.

TheGrill conference next week will present exclusive photography by legendary rock photographers Joel Bernstein and Neal Preston, as well as an interview of the two by Oscar-winning filmmaker Cameron Crowe. Bernstein and Preston have shared a longtime friendship with Crowe, beginning when Crowe was a teenage journalist for Rolling Stone. Their association has spanned many tours, and assignments, even including “Almost Famous” and his recent Showtime show, “Roadies.” Crowe will interview them about the challenges and thrills of living up close to musical artists at their moments of greatest intensity, and what it was like to be just outside the frame.
