In July 1963, Bob Dylan made his first seem­ance on the New­port Folks Fes­ti­val. On open­ing evening, he cap­ti­vat­ed a crowd of 13,000 with a per­for­mance of “Blowin’ within the Wind,” accom­pa­nied by Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, and Peter, Paul, and Mary. Then, the fol­low­ing day, Dylan deliv­ered a ren­di­tion of “With God On Our Facet” (a duet with Joan Baez) and per­shaped “North Coun­strive Blues” solo, a tune that might lat­er seem on The Instances They Are a‑Changin’ in 1964. You may watch these his­toric per­for­mances in orig­i­nal black-and-white footage. (Sim­ply click on the hyperlinks within the textual content.) Or, because of the YouTube chan­nel Toca o Dis­co, you’ll be able to expe­ri­ence the second in col­or. As a 22-year-old Bob Dylan sings, the audi­ence lis­tens in rapt atten­tion, tak­ing in his pow­er­ful people tune in regards to the harsh actual­i­ties of min­ing and indus­tri­al­iza­tion. Take observe above.
