Watch Bob Dylan and Neil Young play 'Gates of Eden' together in 1988
They played together again at “The Last Waltz” the following year, the 1988 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Dylan’s 30th anniversary concert in 1992, and the Roseland Ballroom in 1994. But their most significant performances together came during Dylan’s very first shows on his ongoing Never Ending Tour in June 1988.
“Neil took over the whole show,” Roberts told McDonough, noting that Dylan was a little unsure after the first night if Young should carry on with them to the next gig until he burst into the dressing room. “Great show!” Young said to Dylan. “See you tomorrow night, Bob?” Dylan relented and Young joined the band again that week in Berkeley and Mountain View before heading home.
Here’s fan-shot footage of “Gates of Eden” that appears to be from the Berkeley show on June 10th, 1988. It’s more than a little blurry and the sound isn’t pristine, but it gives you a decent idea of what the performance looked like. In his wildest dreams, Young couldn’t have imagined that he was guesting on the first week of a tour that would still be going more than 30 years later.
