Thread Name: DYLAN NIGHT - Embarassing Moments
Subject: RE: DYLAN NIGHT - Embarassing Moments
For a good description of the fun and games at Newport 1965, see Joe Boyd's excellent book "White Bicycles". He does lay some hoary old chestnuts to rest, such as the one about Pete Seeger supposedly taking an axe to the PA cables.
I think I spotted Joe in the Murray Lerner film last night (at the Dylan/Butterfield soundcheck), but maybe it's somebody else in the same hat.
I thought the best bit of the film was the MC (Peter Yarrow?) in fear of his life from the baying punters after Dylan's electric set.
Looking forward to the Scorsese DVD, there's some telling edits in it!
