The 15th album from Day Three of the Woodstock '94 Festival was a set by legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.
The Wikipedia entry about this festival has a good paragraph about the Dylan set, so I'll quote it in full here:
"After being injured in a traffic accident in 1966 and his subsequent disappearance from the popular music scene, Bob Dylan declined to go to the original Woodstock Festival of 1969, even though he lived in the area at the time. He set off for the Isle of Wight Festival the day the Woodstock festival started and performed at Woodside Bay on August 31, 1969. Dylan, however, did accept an invitation to perform at Woodstock '94 and was introduced with the phrase: 'We waited twenty-five years to hear this. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Bob Dylan.' Although he was an hour and a half late to his performance, his set was considered one of the greater moments of the festival by various critics and represented the beginning of another new phase in his lengthy career. Uncharacteristically for the time, Dylan played lead guitar in a more rock-oriented electric set."
I would add to that that Dylan was in the middle of a songwriting dry spell when this festival occurred. His last album of original material had been released in 1990, "Under the Red Sky." He released acoustic folk albums made up entirely of cover songs in 1992 and 1993. He would eventually come roaring back with a strong album of original material in 1997. But for this festival, nearly all the songs he played were classics that were at least a decade old. The only exception was "God Knows," from his 1990 album. He also said absolutely nothing between the songs.
This album is an hour and 21 minutes long.
