Short story:
Bob Dylan plays at Washington Coliseum, Washington DC, USA.

Scherman will be paid $300; the album will sell 40m copies.Full article:
Rowland Scherman (photographer, Life magazine) : Dylan was in that dirty blue spot, doing some song I can no longer remember. I put the 300 ml on him, and I could see the whole thing. His hair, his halo, his harp - the three H’s. So, I went bang, bang, bang, bang - six or seven frames. No motor or anything. Then, I said, 'Thank you very much, I’ll be leaving now.' I didn’t hang around. I just kept thinking, 'It doesn’t get any better than this,' and went back to watch the rest of the concert.
