It all starts with the totally unique, never before seen Dylan Dead Zepp reenactment of Bob Dylan’s 30th Anniversary Concert, next Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, May 25.

It will be a memorable musical experience as local and national stars perform the music of Bob Dylan as interpreted by the international stars who performed on that historic evening, October 16, 1993 at Madison Square Garden.

Renowned guitarist Jayden Lehman from “Oteil and Friends”, of Allman Brothers/Dead & Co. fame, will be the featured guest star at the “Dylan Dead Zeppelin” concert at the vintage Celebrity Theatre at The Claridge Hotel in Atlantic City.

Dead Zep will perform a reenactment of Bob Dylan’s 30th anniversary concert “My Back Pages” with many guest stars. Jayden Lehman will perform the part of George Harrison doing Harrison’s Dylan tribute.

Dead Zep, led by Waynard Scheller, renowned for his work with Bob Weir, The Jerry Garcia Family and The Yoko Ono Foundation, will lead Dead Zep in a set of melodic medleys combining Grateful Dead and Led Zeppelin classics before performing the tribute to Bob Dylan and many allstars who performed with Dylan on that occasion, including Tom Petty, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Roger McGuinn, Chrissy Hynde and The Band.
