Plot
The committee demands Dylan play only folk music, and Pete reminds Dylan that his own life's work is on the line. An intoxicated Johnny Cash encourages Dylan to play the electric show, and Dylan goes through with his plan. The crowd reacts with vitriol. The committee, including Pete, attempts to cut the sound, but is stopped by Grossman and Pete's wife, Toshi. Dylan refuses a request from the festival organizers to perform a folk song as an encore, but relents when Cash offers him his acoustic guitar.
