VIEW FROM THE BOTTOM: Dylan’s Forest HIlls Concert

The fall tour started with a concert at the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium backed by a band consisting of Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Harvey Brooks and Al Kooper. Sources refer to the reaction as a clash of “Mods and Rockers” storming the stage, throwing objects and trying to pull Kooper and Helm off their stools. Onstage, Dylan jokes to the band, “it looks like the attack of the Beatniks around here…”

Facing a rude and immature audience, Bob Dylan gave a program Saturday night at the Forest Hills Music Festival in Queens in which he was a model of patient composure.

Some 15,000 persons packed the tennis stadium for a program by the widely imitated and highly controversial young singer–guitarist–songwriter. Most of the audience’s attitudes were concerned with Mr. Dylan’s excursions into “folk rock,” a fusion of rock ‘n’ roll with folk-based songwriting.
