Thanks DB, I agree with you. Some fun interaction between Crosby and Bob on that clip.

Thanks LostSok! I had forgotten about the R&R Hall of Fame concert and will check that one out. -Tim

All great performances. I would also include as seminal:

* His version of “Hurricane” on the John Hammond PBS tribute in 1975.

* The stunning and mezmorizing verison of “Idiot Wind” from the 1976 Hard Rain special (his eclectic guitar playing on “Shelter From The Storm,” recently highlighted on the the network show Flash Forward, is also a must).

* His scorching version of “When You Gonna Wake Up” on SNL in 1979.

* Virtually any of the songs, but for me “John Brown” from the MTV Unplugged concert in 1995.

And, most of all,

* The monster guitar jam with JJ Jackson during “All Along The Watchtower” in 1995, at the Rock’n'Roll HOF.

Perhaps not quintessential but nonetheless equally as entertaining is Bob’s guest (albeit late) appearance with the reunited Byrds for Mr. Tambourine Man at the Roy Orbison Tribute February 1990.
