“Like a Rolling Stone” from Highway 61 Revisited became a huge hit, showing that six-minute songs can get radio play, but it confused many of Dylan’s fans. These albums found Dylan leaving folk behind, picking up an electric guitar and writing some of the absolute best rock ‘n’ roll of all time. In August 1964, just months after The Times They Are A-Changin’ hit stores, he released Another Side of Bob Dylan, which was the farthest from folk an artist could get without completely leaving the genre behind, and then came Bringing it All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited, released just four months apart in 1965. His fans wanted more folk classics, but he was growing tired of the genre fast. First, some basic history …īy early 1964, Dylan had released two folk masterpieces, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan and The Times They Are A-Changin’, and he was a household name. So what happened? How, in just 90 minutes, did a man go from hero to antagonist? And why am I giving a performance that disgusted so much of the audience a 5/5? Don’t worry, friends, we’ll get there. Keith Butler, was even heard shouting “Judas!” as loud as he could, insinuating that Dylan had betrayed his audience. How could it possibly disappoint? By the end of Dylan’s performance, though, most of those in attendance felt used and manipulated, and some left in the middle of the show.
