MIKE BLOOMFIELD WITH BOB DYLAN, "MAGGIE'S FARM"

Bloomfield burns here, at the infamous "Dylan goes electric" Newport performance in 1965. Lots of fills around the vocals, and a few short breaks. You can hear the booing at the end-- it's historically interesting, of course, but these days I'm less interested in all that than in the opportunity to hear Mike Bloomfield on a Telecaster.

(note-- the article mentioned below suggests that Bloomfield is the key element that caused all the loud volume, booing, etc.
Sounds reasonable to me-- I like the concept that a loud Telecaster helped change rock history.)

Peggy from www.mikebloomfield.com/ forwarded this link to an in-depth article about Bloomfield's experiences on the weekend of Newport 1965. It's very interesting and detailed-- that's where I found the picture above with the Butterfield Blues Band. THANKS, PEGGY!
