Bob Dylan has recorded with all the Stones guitarists on his albums - with Ron Wood, of course, and Mick Taylor both of whom also played live several times with the man...even Brian Jones had recording sessions with him sometime in '65 according to Wyman's book ["...dancing child with the chinese suit.."
"...because TIME is on his side..."]
Not really sure if he did any sessions with Keith

Live Aid had nothing to do with it. Mick was already on the bill for that show as the Stones, as a band, had refused to play the gig. Dylan was meant to play with a band that Bill Graham had put together for him, but decided at a couple of days notice to do it acoustic - so he asked Woody to help him out. Woody in turn then asked Keith.
Ronnie is friends with pretty much everyone. He's not known as the 'holy host' for nothing. Without his ability to bond and bring people together, we wouldnt still have a band to discuss.
Good lord, Gazza. Do you just reel this stuff off the top of your head or do you have to refer to your files? LOL! Either way, pretty fuckin' impressive.

Nah.. Woody did a really good interview about Bob in the now-defunct UK Dylan magazine "The Telegraph" (without doubt the greatest fan magazine of all time) in the late 80's, in which he discussed the Live Aid episode at some length as well as some of his various other dealings with Dylan down the years.
It can be found in one of the two compendiums of interviews taken from the magazine that were published some years ago, "Wanted Man" or "All Across The Telegraph" - cant remember which one off the top of my head, though.

He didnt, but aside from his five guest appearances at Stones shows in 1995 and 1998 (when he was the opening act each time) he's played onstage with Keith at Live Aid (1985) and the 'Guitar Legends' Festival in Seville, Spain in 1991 (they did a duet of 'Shake, Rattle & Roll' together on that one as well as playing their own set of songs)
Woody has guested onstage with Bob on at least ten occasions that I can think of between 1985 and 2004. I was at the Hyde Park show in 1996 when Ronnie played for all of Dylan's set apart from the acoustic songs. That was a pleasant surprise!

Parts of the Hyde Park show were actually broadcast on TV on Sky in the UK and HBO in the US. It was part of the "Mastercard Masters of Music" Concert for Prince Charles' "Princes Trust" charity. The bill consisted of Alanis Morisette, Bob Dylan, The Who and special guests performing 'Quadrophenia' and finally Eric Clapton. Took place on 29th June 1996. Al Kooper and Woody sat in during Dylan's set.
Was nice to see it on TV, but I think we only got 3 of Dylan's set and other countries got five (his set only consisted of 9 songs). It was a bit daft to broadcast 'Quadrophenia' and only include about a quarter of the songs. I probably have it on video or DVD somewhere..I'll have to dig it out for you
The biggest crowd I've ever been in (there were 150,000 people there!), and a bizarre setting as you arent allowed to buy alcohol in Hyde Park as its a public park.
Oh, and the ticket price was £8.50 (about $14), which even by 1996 standards was about a third of what you'd normally expect to pay to see a major act of that calibre. Let alone a whole host of them.

I think the story was, according to Tony Scaduto's Jagger bio, that he was bantering with Mick and said "I could have written 'Satisfaction' but YOU couldnt have written 'Tambourine Man'"....

Exactly, and he also said that Dylan actually said it to Keith. Anyway the proposition holds true, he admitted (with a laugh), but he would like to hear Dylan singing "Satisfaction".

According to Keith, he actually said that to Keith but said I could have written Satisfaction but you couldn't have written Desolation Row.

Dylan/Stones’ Like A Rolling Stone: rock’s highest peak
Thanks to Gerhard Bonhoffer for alerting me to the video clip from You Tube of Dylan as a guest of the Rolling Stones at a gig in Brazil, on the band’s Bridges To Babylon tour.
The sight of the Poet Laureate of Rock n Roll duetting with Sir Jack Flash, the greatest rock performer of them all, fronting rock’s best live band, on the best rock song ever written, brought tears to my eyes. Almost seven minutes of uncontrollable joy: a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Even on a computer screen.
Is this video clip the highest peak of rock music? I think so.

It was so cool to watch it by TV, I was only 13 then. You liked the performance; if you can, search Gimme Shelter from this show, the best I´ve ever heard, truly thrilling.
You see the people jumping like mad and singing along? That´s why we´re the best audience in the whole world - I´d like to hear Madafaka´s opinion about that

Dylan's never said that. He's talked about the genesis of that song several times and never indicated that its about a specific person (the subject of the song - going by the lyrics - is female, anyway).
The irony of the Stones covering a song supposedly written about Brian Jones is quite funny, though!
That now makes two songs on the same album that are 'supposedly' about Brian Jones, if you believe the 'Ballad of a thin man' crap.
