Inside Music

• Just when you thought Austin music's history couldn't get hipper, Hole In the Wall booker and budding Bob Dylan fanatic Paul Minor recently came across this obscure tidbit: the first live performance of Bob Dylan with the Band (Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson were called Levon and the Hawks at the time) was Sept. 24, 1965, in Austin. Crank up "The Basement Tapes" this Saturday to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the concert at the Municipal Auditorium (later Palmer Auditorium). To find out more details about the half-acoustic/half-electric show, plus the band's wild night at the old Villa Capri, read an account in Sunday's Life & Arts section. By the way, tickets to the show, Dylan's Texas debut, were $3. -- Michael Corcoran

• Here's a benefit unrelated to Katrina: Sunday, Oct. 9, Emo's hosts a benefit for Randy 'Biscuit' Turner's mother, Nellie Mae Turner, to offset expenses linked to Biscuit's passing.
