I saw Dylan in Springfield, Massachusetts sometime around 65 or 66, can't really remember. He did the same thing as in Glasgow, first set acoustic and second electric. As I was pretty much a folk purist myself back then I, like most of the audience, was in shock. Hated every minute of it although I quickly came to appreciate it and within 2 or 3 years was playing electric in a rock and roll band myself. We even played a couple of Dylans tunes and everybody loved it then. Times change very quickly.
