This program includes Bob Dylan performances filmed by Academy Award-winning director Murray Lerner at the Newport Folk Festival, 1963-1965, capturing full performances of some of Dylan's greatest songs, including "Mr. Tambourine Man," "Blowin' In the Wind," "It Ain't Me, Babe," "Like a Rolling Stone." His 1963 and 1964 performances made him popular with the Newport crowd, but in 1965, he decided to "plug in," resulting in a mixed response of cheers and boos. Dylan left the stage after only three songs. Though he re-emerged and sang two acoustic numbers, this shift marked his changing artistic direction as he moved from leading contemporary songwriter of the folk scene to rock 'n' roll star.
