My dad bought me a used 1962 Fender Stratocaster when I was 7 years old in 1964. The Beatles had played Ed Sullivan and I wanted to learn guitar. I still have it and played some Aerosmith on it this morning..........such is life.
TGH. Great episode. The folk community were way too purist. Dylan offered something new and it's stood the test of time. (Notice in the black and white pics, very few women in the audience). Watched your episode about rory's strat. Same sunburst. I think it's sad that so called fans would boo their idol offstage. Even though I'm not a dylan fan, there's a lot to be learned by listening to his work. Thanks TGH.
At 5:32 you said "Paul Butterfield on lead guitar with his not yet hacked up '63 Tele." I believe you meant to say Mike Bloomfield, of the Paul Butterfield band. Am I correct? Good video
The Butterfield Band eponymous first album has always been a favourite of mine from the day I bought it as an import from Dobells in the Charing Cross Road. Only saw Dylan the once, at the Albert Hall in May of '66, with the redoubtable Mickey Waller on drums and some of Ronnie Hawkins' Hawks making up the numbers. Folkie anoraks were pretty dumb, thinking they could boo off a band with adequate amplification in the UK in 1966.
You should get in touch with Al Kooper, who is still around. He was in the studio when Dylan recorded "Like a Rolling Stone," which was REALLY the catalyst for the change in Dylan's music. The crowd at Newport that summer had heard the new song and liked it, but it had only been released a week or so before, and was 6+ minutes long, and not all stations would play it. Dylan had really not rehearsed any of his new electric music and only played for 10 or 12 minutes, according to Kooper, who was at the songs recording session and was at the festival and had helped round up musicians. He knew Bloomfield and got hold of Bloomfield's bandmates(in Butter's band) and rehearsed shortly before, but only got through a few songs. The reason the crowd booed is because they expected a show and got 2 songs and a riot.
I remember that day or night ... been a long time. I and my brother and our friends were playing a job on the westside of Jacksonville, on Normandy Boulevard and I remember hearing on the radio how Dylan had been booed off the stage for playing electric. I was already a fan, first of his "hootenanny" song writing; then of vocalizing on his own records. But I really went smash, over his electric stuff. And yes, I too, was playing a Stratocaster, even before he was.
I hope this gets the attention of you, Jason! I love your channel!! I have long thought Guitarist and bassist Ron Asheton and his drummer brother have been overlooked. I would love to see a forgotten fretmasters about Ron. Funhouse is one of the most important and classic albums in rock history. His solo career after the Stooges is the stuff of legend! He was a player everyone should be aware of. His brother Scott played with former Mc5 fretmaster Fred Sonic smith and Rationals frontman Scott Morgan on the second guitar. Another band is at least as good if not better than Mc5 is the Sonic's Rendvious band. the one Scott Asheton played with. it would be awesome to see content on that.
What a history of that guitar....I had remembered there was some controversy about Dylan and and an electric but I didn't realize it went this deep. Thanks for sharing this!
are u kidding bro it actualy goes much deeper.....after this fiasco dylan toured england in 66 where he played with a band called the hawks... who also became The Band? They were booed and cat called in every city in the uk for months.. because they thought dylan should only play acoustic folk music.... no disrespect just thought you might find it interesting....check it out
@@imannonymous7707 That's a crazy but cool story! No disrespect taken....I learn a lot right here sometimes, especially when I get my head out of nonnegative matrix factorization. I'll have to read up on that - thanks again bro!
Interesting video. I'm not buying that the guitar Babiuk is holding at 8:00 is the guitar that Dylan is playing at 8:07. The paint jobs look different. Check out how on Dylan's guitar the yellow comes down farther around the output jack plate than it does on Babiuk's guitar. Babiuk's guitar could have belonged to Dylan, but I don't think it's the Newport guitar.
I believe that you're right; you can see the same color graduation in the 8:07 photo at 5:15 and 5:30(2 DIFFERENT black and white photos of the same guitar Dylan holds at 8:07). The Babiuk guitar(shown in the case at 7:05 and held by Dawn Peterson at 7:30) just IS NOT the same guitar - I used to airbrush vehicle graphics for show-cars, and it's pretty obvious, the red band is wider and not as even as the one Dylan holds in the other photos, and almost touches the top of the jack plate the cord plugs into. Also, by 1965, Dylan had toured Europe and England, and he wouldn't have been likely to leave an electric guitar in a cab - that's what he had a crew for. Remember, the PBS "History Detectives" show is entertainment.
The guitar Dylan is playing DOES NOT have any damage to the pickguard from the screws. The guitar you are looking at with Andy clearly has screw hole damage.
You have made a few errors here: Odetta was a woman not a band. She was an influence to many. Mike Bloomfield was the guitarist for Dylan at that show. Again another heavyweight at the time. Watch the Dylan documentary from Martin Scorsese and you will see how violently people reacted to the electric Dylan.
This isn’t a brand thing haha. It’s about the Strat Dylan used to “go electric.” I’m sure that many would weigh in with their pick for worst made Strat ever.
I love Dylan but I think it was sort of a dick thing when he went electric at this festival. I’m glad he went electric but this was the wrong venue. It’s like if I went to see him and his band started playing Chopin. He did it for the shock value.
Did he write on other cases? Maybe. To me it seems like a con job. When she saw the inside of the neck, the date looked manipulated. But I guess we'll never know. Dylan leaving his guitar behind? Seems unlikely. Seems like the guitars would be with the rest of the heavy gear.
"SEMITISM", according to Webster's and ALL of the other dictionaries, means you "Practice or believe in SHOWING JEWS FAVOR”... "SEMITIC" refers to ALL of the people of the area, Palestinians, Syrians and yes, isralies too... THEREFORE, "antisemitism" and "antisemitic" mean two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT things... I LOVE Palestinian people, I do NOT believe in showing ANYONE "favor", ESPECIALLY anyone that believe they are BORN SUPERIOR to ME... that I and everyone else is "just Goyim"... That is the MOST SUPREMACIST set of beliefs in the world and I'm ALLOWED to THINK that way and CHOOSE to NOT support it!! The one thing I do KNOW, I've been BEGGING for someone of that "faith"/NATIONAL IDENTITY to come TALK to me and EXPLAIN to me what I'm "WRONG about", EXPLAIN to me WHY we give israel (a "FIRST WORLD" country) 3.8 BILLION DOLLARS a year INSTEAD of using it to fund ANTI-PEDOPHILE groups or Veterans groups or Women's Rights groups or a PLETHORA of other BETTER causes, EXPLAIN to me ANY of the stuff that is supposedly "non-existent" and EXPLAIN what other reasons people feel the way they do about israel? I am a PERSON OF COLOR, my grandfather was a CONCENTRATION CAMP SURVIVOR, so you CAN'T just write me off as "some dumb skinhead", yet I NEVER have ANYBODY that believes my OPINION WORTHY enough to come TRY to "adjust" it. I'm just supposed to believe a bunch of stuff that DOESN'T MAKE SENSE (well, OTHER than "conspiracy") because it makes people uncomfortable talking about it.. AND/OR, I'm RIGHT and people don't LIKE that... I'm open to being wrong, but again, I'm just not worthy enough, apparently... Just look at all of the responses I will get on THIS comment.. anybody who ASKS QUESTIONS or points out the INCREDIBLE HYPOCRISY and OBVIOUS APARTHEID going on, like Ben & Jerry's saying they no longer want to sell in ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED TERRITORIES (STILL selling IN israel though), gets INSTANTLY labeled as someone who "hates jews", when Ben & Jerry's is a JEWISH COMPANY.. how does that work??? How is it that retirement funds for average people are being threatened over this? How come nobody's really talking about it? Again, I'd LOVE to be WRONG, I'd LOVE for SOMEBODY to just come EXPLAIN it to me ANY of this, but NOBODY ever seems WILLING, because APPARENTLY I'M just beneath YOU.. am I WRONG?
YOU ERROR; @ 5:35 you claim Paul Butterfield on lead guitar. It is clearly Mike Bloomfield. Unsubscribing. Paul Butterfield is a harmonica player/vocalist.
Maybe he just sounded terrible and they didn’t like it. I like Bob Dylan, but he and his band sounded horrendous, “Maggie’s Farm” is not exactly quintessential rock and roll. I like his electric recordings from ‘65 and ‘67, but live they sounded terrible.
My dad bought me a used 1962 Fender Stratocaster when I was 7 years old in 1964. The Beatles had played Ed Sullivan and I wanted to learn guitar. I still have it and played some Aerosmith on it this morning..........such is life.

Thank you!

Great stuff. I hope some day you'll do an episode on Springsteen's famous Esquire.
ya thats a cool guitar
I agree. That's an interesting guitar.

Very cool, since I own a 64 Strat...not Dyan's of course. Very interesting video; first time on your channel, but won't be the last. Thank you.
At 9:01 I think you’re right. He hardly knew exactly which one it was. Fair assessment
Great episode! Thank you so much 😊

[5:32] Not Paul Butterfield. It was Mike Bloomfield...!
Another great video! Thanks!!

Really enjoyed the video and learned a lot as well. Thanks!

I really like your channel always interesting to watch
I try, sir. So grateful that you enjoy the vids!
Why I just found this channel. Like your video.
Great. Not a super Dylan fan but recall this Strat being sold.
All i could think "it was perfect'.

That's Michael Bloomfield, not Paul Butterfield on guitar.
I know it was a mistake in my script. I made it up to Mike here: 👉🏻 th-cam.com/video/O70upIkoCLA/w-d-xo.html
Correction: Mike Bloomfield on lead guitar
I live in Rhode Island, never been to the folk festival
“Where is this Strat now…
6:53…?
I’m glad she got her million! What the hell is the problem with Dylan and his lawyers? What do they care?
Hard to judge. I wouldn't have had a problem, but as a folk revival, it was obvious they felt betrayed and they thought he went bourgeoise.
Jim irsay , the owner of the Indianapolis colts bought it
I seen that somewhere about Irsay owning Dylan's strat. Also something about him being offered 1 billion for his(Irsay's) guitar collection.
Like your vids. save the service announcements for the end off the video if at all .never twice
I think you meant Mike Bloomfield "with his not yet hacked up 63 tele" rather than Paul Butterfield.
Yep unfortunate mistake in my script that I didn’t catch until after it was uploaded
Don't you mean mike Bloomfield on lead guitar not paul buttersfield
Oh man… Yes that was exactly what I meant. That was an error in my script dammit😂
@Richard Hammond I looked before I leapt lol..
It’s not too late to put the electric away, Bob
J-U-D-A-S !!!!

Watch the Dylan documentary from Martin Scorsese and you will see how violently people reacted to the electric Dylan.
The crowd just thought Bob and his band sounded awful, and they did! The Pete Seeger story has been fabricated.
I thought the Squier Affinity would be more hated with its thin body, crap electronics and horrible CBS headstock!
This isn’t a brand thing haha. It’s about the Strat Dylan used to “go electric.” I’m sure that many would weigh in with their pick for worst made Strat ever.
You have to love how they all changed their names to HIDE the "conspiracy" better...
This is the story I heard about that particular Strat.
th-cam.com/video/Hy5h_2YUE84/w-d-xo.html
Don’t understand why Dylan lost ownership of it if it was his
odetta was a black chick not a band tho and it was mike bloomfield of the butterfield blues band
I love Dylan but I think it was sort of a dick thing when he went electric at this festival. I’m glad he went electric but this was the wrong venue. It’s like if I went to see him and his band started playing Chopin. He did it for the shock value.

rory gallaghers strat would be a cool vid
YOU ERROR; @ 5:35 you claim Paul Butterfield on lead guitar. It is clearly Mike Bloomfield. Unsubscribing. Paul Butterfield is a harmonica player/vocalist.
Thanks for unsubscribing due to a slip of the tongue. Oy.
Unsubscribing? Bit harsh don't ya think? The guy's done a load of great broadcasts.
Weirdo
Maybe he just sounded terrible and they didn’t like it. I like Bob Dylan, but he and his band sounded horrendous, “Maggie’s Farm” is not exactly quintessential rock and roll. I like his electric recordings from ‘65 and ‘67, but live they sounded terrible.
