When:
Short story:
Bob Dylan plays at The Odeon Theatre, Glasgow, Scotland, UK, Europe.Full article:
Andrew Young (Scottish Daily Mail reviewer) : Dressed in checked suit, he stood alone on stage and gasped out the protest songs which have made him a millionaire. It was when he came on in the second half, dressed in black and accompanied by a five-man beat group that the trouble started.
There were shouts of ‘Rubbish’ from the purists and ‘Shut up’ from the beat fans … To shouts of ‘We want Dylan’ he replied ‘Dylan got sick backstage and I’m here to take his place.’ Then he walked off stage unperturbed by the boos and cheers that followed him.
Mickey Jones : There’s no doubt in my mind as to why they were reacting the way they were. They felt that the one person in the world who would remain true was Bob Dylan. They felt betrayed. I understand that more today than I did then.
