About this episode

Purchase on iTunes One of the most significant moments in rock history, Bob Dylan's performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival is still generating its share of controversy. By bringing an electric guitar to a folk festival, Dylan took his audience into a new world that was loud, fearless, and ready for a fight. He opened his electric set with Maggie's Farm, a song that has inspired both Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter, and which continues to serve as an anthem for the disenfranchised and dispossessed. Now available for purchase and download on iTunes, this video is a true relic of an event that, according to Rolling Stone magazine, changed rock music forever.
