primarily a college-age crowd came, and they sat through many musics over the three-day period under the umbrella of folk music that I'm sure that they didn't care for. And most people played 45-minute to an hour sets. And then we came out, and we played for 15 minutes three electric songs. And I think that the people were horrified and incensed that we only played for 15 minutes.

But that really had no way of making itself known to the audience that was attending the thing, other than through the press later on after the festival was over, which is how that myth came to be promulgated. After the festival, that's what the press wrote about because they were privy to the fact that Pete Seeger and Alan Lomax were very upset with the electrification that Dylan was doing.
