"Bob Dylan In Concert (It's What's Happenin')"
Bob Dylan is what's happenin', baby. FOLK ROCK: the animals, the turtles, the byrds, barry mcguire, the spokesman, donovan, the lovin' spoonful, johnny rivers, we five, sonny & cher, time, newsweek, etc. Dylan remains disinterested -- except for the bread. . . . and all these young chicks in painted wheatjeans jerking to the Eve of Destruction. But there's where it's at. It's nothing new for Dylan -- a return to high school . . . and he IS having fun. Dylan in concert -- completely divorced from the audience, while a student in the row before studies him with binoculars: what does he look like; how does he walk; buddy, are you for real? It must take a great deal of discipline to sit there coldly and watch him perform. His harp make us want to dance. Sharp, shrill, searing, soaring -- like Coltrane. But there's always someonethere to bring you down (the audience). While the great beautiful sound rolls over you, wrapping you in its folds. So strong you can touch it. LEVON & the HAWKS: strong stacccato [sic] bass; organ and piano blurring into one complete whole; whrill harp and guitar rising above. WOW. "We want Dylan!" "O.K., you can have him!" That Dylan died with the release of "Another SIde." THIS one is more HONEST, more NATURAL, more PERSONAL. Songs of love and other absurdities. A NEW KIND OF PROTEST. And a new rock sound -- full bodied, very big, and very masculine.
I don't know whether the standard report of a Buffalo, NY concert for this date is in error as to the date or to the venue. The November 6 Ithaca report, however, looks rock solid to me, as I've turned up an announcement as well as this review.

I don't have time right now to sign up on Google groups to reply to the gentleman who reported the Ithaca show. At the end of his posting he wondered about the apparent conflict with the Buffalo show that is out in much of the Dylan world. Attached is an from the Nov 3 1965 edition of the Buffalo News and it has the Buffalo show as Nov 20th, 1965.
Weren't all those dates originally from the public record of the legal procedings between Dylan and Grossman when they split?
As those of us in bands know, sometimes the show the promoter books is not the one you end up playing.

Which means the show previously thought to have taken place on Nov 20, 1965, in Rochester, NY, either was rescheduled (to what date?) or never occurred. I've never seen a venue listed for the supposed Rochester show so maybe that one was questionable all along. Thanks to all for the new information.
