Mike Porco Celebrated on stage with Favorite Son Bob Dylan at the World's Most Famous Arena
As strange as it sounds, it's just what happened in 1975. THE NIGHT OF THE HURRICANE had some special guests on stage including Bob's Minnesota Mom and his New York Father
๐ค Bob Dylan was busy in the Summer and Fall of 1975. He was spending a lot of time in Greenwich Village and surrounds. ๐ผHe was recording the Desire album and assembling the troops for the Rolling Thunder tour.
This is a snippet of the Gerde's Folk City doc pointing just how important Mike Porco was to Bob Dylan. The first leg of the Rolling Thunder Tour culminated in a benefit concert for framed-boxer Reuben 'Hurricane' Carter at the World's Most Famous Arena. Mike was there to the delight of Dylan.
They had both come a long way from Dylan's first weeks in NYC in 1961 when Mike sponsored Dylan's Union and Cabaret cards as his PARENTAL GUARDIAN. And he gave him a little red wine and roast beef. Not a bad deal.
The Italian immigrant found himself on the stage at Madison Square Garden with all of his famous friends.
