Cat Power, YLT, MMJ, Roots Fete Dylan in Concert

People sure do love Bob Dylan. They also love Todd Haynes. As a bit of a live-action companion piece to Haynes' Dylan meta-biopic I'm Not There and its accompanying star-studded soundtrack, New York's Beacon Theatre will host "I'm Not There: In Concert" on November 7.

The list of performers-- much like that of the soundtrack, or those in the film-- is staggering: Cat Power, Calexico, My Morning Jacket, the Roots, J Mascis, Lee Ranaldo & the Million Dollar Bashers, Mark Lanegan, Yo La Tengo with Buckwheat Zydeco (!), Al Kooper (who notably played organ on Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone"), John Doe, and Gomez's Ian Ball and Olly Peacock are among those set to perform. Attendees are urged to expect "guests and more" at the event, so now's as good a time as any to start speculatin' as to who that might be. Sufjan? Karen O?

The I'm Not There soundtrack drops on Columbia October 30, and the film hits U.S. theaters November 21. Dylan is on tour with fellow legend Elvis Costello right now, as you know.

Thanks to reader Donovan Roediger for the tip.
