Newport Folk Festival organiser George Wein was with Pete Seeger when Dylan went electric in 1965 and gives a detailed account of Pete's reaction in his autobiography Myself Among Others. He says Pete was indeed incandescent with rage but simply stomped off to sit in the car park. "Several accounts of this fateful night have suggested that Pete threatened to cut the power cables. This wasn't the case. What he did - what all of us did - was wait, helplessly, while Dylan's entourage played." Pete himself has also denied on various occasions that he ever threatened to cut the cable with an axe or anything else.
