:46:00
At the time he wanted to make it.
The audience came to Bob.
:46:04
And that's one of the things
that makes him so unique...
:46:07
in the history of American music,
is the audience came to Bob Dylan.
:46:11
I've never been that kind of performer...
:46:12
that wants to be one of them, you know,
like one of the crowd.
:46:18
I don't try to endear myself that way.
:46:20
Now, do performers look for applause?
Yeah, yes and no.
:46:25
It really depends
what kind of performer you are.
:46:27
Like the story of Billie Holiday, you know...
:46:30
when she sang Strange Fruit
for the first time, nobody applauded.
:46:34
You know, you could leave somebody
kind of in a spellbound way and...
:46:40
I don't know.
There's a lot of things going on...
:46:44
when there's a performer on stage
and there's an audience out there.
:47:04
That weekend, my daughter had been born.
:47:06
Pete Seeger had made a recording of her.
And he played it.
:47:10
He opened the night on Sunday night
at Newport...
:47:11
and he played this little recording
of a new baby, he says:
:47:14
"Here's the first folk song, the first voice...
:47:16
"and we're dedicating this festival
and this music and our purposes..."
:47:19
"to this new child, and the new world
that she's going to grow up in".
:47:23
And that was kind of, you know...
That's the way the evening began.
:47:28
I was walking around in the afternoon
and Albert Grossman took me aside...
:47:31
and said, "Bob is looking for you".
:47:34
And he took me to Bob and Bob said,
"I want to play Sunday night...
:47:38
"and try and reproduce
what we did on the album. "
:47:42
And I said:
:47:44
"Okay. Sounds great".
:47:46
Ladies and gentlemen...
:47:49
the person that's going to come up now...
:47:54
has a limited amount of time.
:47:58
His name is Bob Dylan.
