Monday night at 9:30pm on PBS we'll get to see the following:
Bob Dylan: Live in Newport 1963-65This program includes unreleased Bob Dylan performances filmed by Academy Award-winning director Murray Lerner at the Newport Folk Festival, 1963-1965, capturing full performances of some of Dylan's greatest songs. His 1963 and 1964 performances made him popular with the Newport crowd, but in 1965, he decided to "plug in," resulting in a mixed response of cheers and boos.
Songs include: "Blowin' in the Wind," "Mr. Tambourine Man," "Chimes of Freedom," "Like a Rolling Stone" and "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" during appearances at the Newport Folk Festival in 1963, '64 and '65.
Check your local listings.

Croaked through the entire performance, the imposter should have been charged with a crime. Performed only smidgen of his classic songs. Nonetheless, I'll be watching the PBS special.
