The ‘Michel & Bob Dylan Fest 2008’ is a marvelously multidimensional journey through the song-experiences of two of the most outstanding 21st century songwriters. It is also part of Michel Montecrossa’s Peace & Climate Change Concert Tour 2008.

He has arranged his songs and Bob Dylan’s songs in the context of ‘Save the Climate’ and ‘A Satisfied Mind’ and says: “Save the climate of love. That’s the best way to save the climate of the earth.”.

The tracks include great Peace & Climate Change topical songs by Michel Montecrossa like ‘Save The Climate‘, ‘Earth & Peace‘, ‘Sunray Revolution‘, ‘Changing World‘ and ‘Sweet Earth‘ that take a close and profound look at the meaning of the rapid world-changes surrounding us. To save the climate for Michel Montecrossa means centrally a change of consciousness and not only an outer change. About this crossroad of inner and outer action he sings in broadsides like ‘Cheap Girl‘, ‘You’re A Disaster‘, ‘The Woman That Loves The Breakthrough‘, ‘Believe In Your Dream‘, ‘I’m Workin’‘, ‘Eatin’ And Drinkin’ Blues‘, ‘Freedomfire Burnin’‘, ‘A Song‘, ‘War Kills‘ and ‘When I Change Dimensions‘.
The Bob Dylan songs performed by Michel Montecrossa include Bob Dylan originals as well as traditionals and songs by other artists which Bob Dylan sings in his concerts like ‘Tell Ol’ Bill‘, ‘Somebody Touched Me‘, the rare and unreleased ‘Rock Me Mama‘ and ‘If I Don’t Be There By Morning‘. From his early years are songs like ‘Golden Vanity‘, ‘Train A-Travelin’‘ and ‘Ballad Of Easy Rider‘ (wich he has cowritten with Roger Mc Guinn) and rarities like ‘Go Away You Bomb‘ (with the music of Michel Montecrossa) and ‘Cuban Missile Crisis‘. To Bob Dylans gospel songs like ‘What Can I Do For You?‘ and ‘Are You Ready?‘ from the production ‘Saved’ Michel Montecrossa gives a far-reaching and deeply felt power of meaning and expression. In the song ‘Pressing On‘ Michel Montecrossa also sings lyrics which were not included in the original release.

The 2 Bonus DVDs present Michel Montecrossa’s free cinema masterpieces ‘Going To The Spirit of Woodstock Festival’ and ‘The Invisible Wall’.

‘The Invisible Wall’ is Michel Montecrossa’s great slam poetry earth and peace musical in the form of a cinema vérité orphic story looking through the many symbols and events of life to the reality behind. ‘The Invisible Wall’ tells the story of the Travelin’ Man who for some time has a job as king. Later he drops the job and experiences an existential revolution. It is the door to the reality of love and a new birth in consciousness. ‘The Invisible Wall’ is poetic music-cinema telling the story in a multidimensional way. Various roles express themselves through changing persons, thus creating a web of awareness reversals. Through this interactive play and journey of vision, poetry and music a virtual body appears which gives the clue to the deeper sense of reality: The sense of love bridging all divides, the sense of coming home, the sense of the true embrace that lasts forever.
