People paid, got on the subway, stood in line, and spent about 3 hours inside to listen to this? And then other people and some of the same ones paid to listen to a recording of it? And then these people and many more would spend decade blubbering about its importance? If this inspired you to write some "no frills folk music" in the year of our lord 2022, I need you to know that this does no mean you don't need to know a second strumming pattern. I beg of you to learn a second strumming pattern. In the second half, there is at least some dynamic musicianship (so I agree with his detractors at the time that it is extremely un-Dylan). This also forces Dylan to actually do something with his voice and the songs to be different from each other. Also, the singing is broken up by some guitar noodling, keyboard solos and Bobby D indiscriminately blowing random harmonica chords at will as opposed to the sound of the pipe I intermittently hear in my bathroom after 10 pm. Does that mean I tacitly agree with the official Dylan narrative about him knowing what would stand the test of time, in that I actually like the electric half? No. But is it at least damn interesting by virtue of being an important historic document? Also no.
