Sinead O’Connor - missing from 30th Anniversary Concert

Thanks to Wilson Smith:

“Of course ‘Sinead O'Connor's searing rendition of Bob Marley's ‘War’ is also missing from this track list.’

“After enduring booing from the audience, she finally relented and sang nothing. I always thought this was disgraceful; an audience full of fans of Bob Dylan — an artist that always spoke his mind — effectively 'censoring' another artist because she had a week earlier torn up a picture of the Pope at a Saturday Night Live rehearsal.”

Thanks to Martin Cowan:

“And of course the 29 song list omits Dylan's opener, ‘Song To Woody’, due to "technical problems", although there didn't seem to be too much wrong with it when it was broadcast on national television in the UK.

"And Sinead O'Connor's searing rendition of Bob Marley's ‘War’ is also missing from this track list.

“Would agree with you that Neil Young was compelling, but also the Pearl Jam boys' ‘Masters of War’, Richie Havens' ‘Just Like A Woman’ and Willie Nelson's ‘What was it you wanted’ are worthy of mention.”
