Interesting fact about Dylan playing the IoW @Cleoriff
I didn`t make it there either. Wonder if any of our quizzers saw Dylan - oh and The Who - at Isle of Wight ?

@Mi-Amigo Three of our friends went and said it was the greatest festival ever. Also due to the Beatles arriving to watch Dylan, rumour was they would perform with him. (They didn't) Hence it being hailed as the gig of the century. Others who came to watch Bob were a couple of the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and Elton John.

That doesn't surprise me at all @jonsie.
Bob Dylan is an acquired taste, although personally I love him. A real poet. The amount of songs he has written and just given away to others is unbelievable.
