Well, good for you, Amos. ;-) You were obviously a man of flexible mind and excellent judgement when you stood at the stage at Newport. I applaud your keen appraisal of the situation. Certainly, many of the other musicians who knew Dylan well at the time would have agreed with you. Maria Muldaur was there, and she loved it.

I think though that Dylan's first electric performance at Newport occurred in 1965, did it not? He played "Maggie's Farm" and "Like A Rolling Stone" in the closing set of the evening concert....then followed them up after a brief pause with acoustic renditions of "Mr Tambourine Man" and "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue".

Is that the occasion you are alluding to? If not, when?
