Bob Dylan - “Like a Rolling Stone” (Newcastle, UK; May 21, 1966; No Direction Home)

Electric Dylan controversy:

The rock segment was often greeted with hostility, as seen in shows in Sheffield and Newcastle upon Tyne in No Direction Home. Footage from the “Royal Albert Hall” concert, at the end of that film, includes the infamous “Judas” heckling incident. During a quiet moment in between songs, an audience member shouts very loudly and clearly: “Judas!”, to which Dylan replies: “I don’t believe you, you’re a liar” before telling his band to “Play it fucking loud!” as they begin to play an acidic version of “Like a Rolling Stone”.

Unrelated: Man, I love Robbie Robertson’s style. What a classy player.

And—further unrelated—brother, could that Rick Danko ever sing the shit out of a song.

Thank you Riverfront Times for covering LouFest, the same cannot be said for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.  Here’s to hoping the event returns to Forest Park for years to come.
