After the break, he walks on, sometimes clad in shining white denim, for a solo set of songs accompanied by his own acoustical guitar and ubiquitous harmonica. It is the most exciting part of the show. Dylan, his halo of curly hair limned by the iridescent hues of the stage lights, is greeted by thunderous cheers. After four or five of his early ballads, he is again joined by the Band for a crescendo of electrified folk-rock songs studded with powerful guitar riffs. From then on, the shouting seldom stops...
...skill and judgment were spectacular. His set on acoustic guitar was disappointingly short, but he paced the concert perfectly. In a fairly smoothed-out version of his old-style folk-blues voice, Dylan sang forcefully, sometimes threateningly. He must have spent some of his time in Wood stock practicing harmonica, because his accompaniment to "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" showed more skill on the mouth harp than anything he has ever recorded.

Later, as a sophomore at Cortez High, he organized his first band, the Earwigs. "It wasn't a band, it was a joke," says his older sister Nickie. He also wrote sports and feature stories for the school paper under the ironic pseudonym Muscles McNasal - Muscles because he was so skinny, McNasal because of a misshapen nose. It seems that Vince bravely concluded a marathon run, then went home...
