The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration is a live double-album release in recognition of Bob Dylan's 30 years as a recording artist. Recorded in October, 1992 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, it captures most of a show full of celebrities, new and veteran, performing classic Dylan songs, before ending with a few performances from Bob Dylan himself. The house band for the show is the surviving members of Booker T. and the MG's: Booker T. Jones on organ, Donald "Duck" Dunn on bass, and Steve Cropper on guitar. Joining them is drummer Anton Fig and session drummer Jim Keltner, filling in for the late Al Jackson. Longtime Saturday Night Live bandleader G.E. Smith is the musical director for the show.

The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration, which reached #40 in the US and went gold,[citation needed] was released in August 1993 just before Dylan was about to deliver his second folk studio set inside of a year, World Gone Wrong. The concert was dubbed "Bobfest" by Neil Young at the beginning of his "All Along the Watchtower" cover.
