Butterfield Blues Bands own set at the Newport 1965 Festival was recorded as well as Bob Dylan’s. After the introduction by Peter Yarrow (from Peter, Paul and Mary) there is a very sparse applause. The band plays very well with a nice slide guitar from MB. the audience applauds with great enthusiasm. It's great to hear such an early live recording from BBB. The whole concert was recorded with the intention to release it as the band’s first album, but only the tracks below have surfaced. Not even a bootleg of the complete set is circulating!
