Yes, it was 50 years ago tomorrow, July 25, 1965, when Bob Dylan plugged in at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival for three songs and altered the landscape of American folk and popular music for generations to come. It’s a landmark moment in music and tonight we view it from a “show within a show” — a special one-hour presentation by Joyride Media of “Bob Dylan: Live at the Newport Folk Festival” (1963-65). I wrapped music from artists who influenced Dylan and from pieces recorded from those times around the special documentary.
