Watch Bob Dylan’s Shocking Cover of Ricky Nelson’s ‘Garden Party’

Bob Dylan stunned the crowd at the Outlaw Music Festival in Chula Vista, California, by playing Ricky Nelson's "Garden Party" for the first time ever.

The Outlaw Music Festival touched down Thursday night on the North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre in Chula Vista, California, and Bob Dylan once again delivered a wildly unpredictable set that stunned even his most hardcore fans. The song chronicles a Madison Square Garden oldies revue that Nelson played in October 1971 alongside Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, and Bobby Rydell. Dylan also played Bobby “Blue” Bland’s 1964 hit “Share Your Love With Me, which was later covered by both Aretha Franklin and Kenny Rogers, for the first time since the opening of his 1974 reunion tour with the Band.
