There's something happen here but you don't know what it is, do you Mr. Jones.

[@nancyhallatr]

It wasn't kids that were booing. I saw him in a small concert about two months before the performance in the video, and the kids loved his new material. I saw an acoustic concert, but the rythms were rock and I think the audience would have been thrilled with an electrified performance. The Newport Folk Festival was a fairly stuffy affair, dominated by musicians who performed music based on traditional English or Appalachian folk songs. Even those who were writing their own songs were working in those traditions.

[@davidlenander]

@@nancyhallatr There were a lot of performers out of different traditions, and the blues singers from the Deep South, or city blues singers from Chicago, for instance, weren't necessarily drawing upon either English or Appalachian traditions. There were also Hispanic and Native singers, and there were a number of full band performances earlier in the festival, including Mimi & Richard Fariña earlier that day, who'd introduced additional musicians throughout their set until they had a full band by the end--of course they were interrupted by rain and storms along the way. But, this footage has been challenged by people who were there as not being from Newport. Photographs show Dylan wearing a polkadot shirt at the performance and no black leather jacket. The booing that's been reported has been said by others to have been due to the fact that Dylan only performed 3 numbers, and lots of people present didn't hear any booing at all. Later, of course, on the subsequent tour, it became a thing for some "fans" to attend performances with the intent to boo and maybe yell "traitor." Most of the other performers there, apart from Maria Muldaur--who has reporting the negative reaction, though claiming to have loved it herself--seem to recall a different reaction. Sylvia Tyson said that the sound was terrible and seemed to thing that there may have been people booing the fact that they couldn't hear it well, and she seemed to imply that Dylan's band and performance weren't as together as they needed to be--she called it the "dog's breakfast," though she was certainly interested in experimenting with bands and new approaches at that point, herself. And maybe the "dog's breakfast" referred more to the sound than the performance. But this performance seems pretty together and wouldn't match the reports that it wasn't. So I wonder if this is from later in the tour?

[@theedrstrangelove]

Dylan said: He electrified one half of his audience, and electrocuted the other.

1965 the day Dylan went electric at the Newport Folk Festival. The crowd was booing him because they wanted the old Dylan playing a acoustic guitar. This was the day of the new Dylan sound.

[@JohnDoe-rw4hl]

This was the day the American counter-cultural movement began its descent from activism to "individualism," to put it politely. Dylan ushered in rock, and he did it unworthily, for he ushered in a rock devoid of purpose, save "self-expression," otherwise known as complaining about fantasy woes to feed one's own spiritual discontent. For facilitating the self-destruction of American activist culture, this man Dylan is a criminal of immeasurable proportions on a huge scale.

Joan Baez and Pete Seeger were reportedly both in the camp that viewed Dylan going electric in general, and playing electric at the famous Newport Folk Festival specifically, as appalling. Pete Seeger was reportedly so upset by it at this performance he wanted to pull the plug on the sound mid-performance, couldn't find a quick way to so so, & was supposedly looking for an axe to make quick work of the cables! The anti-electric sentiment of mid-sixties folk music purists seems so silly in retrospect today, but Dylan got booed on his own tours in '65 & '66 when he played electric, and audiences would pelt him onstage with pocket change. That's a reason Levon Helm quit the '66 tour and was replaced by another drummer. He couldn't tolerate the hostility. Baez' own anti-electric sentiments Bob seems to have made note of in his lyrics to "Visions of Johanna." QUOTE: "The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face."

[@davidwatson7787]

It is said that Pete Seeger was upset about the poor quality if the sound system, rather than electric music. Dylan and the band did 3 electric songs, he came back on stage later and did some acoustic. Personally, I think variety is the spice of life I'll listen to it either way.
