It is usually said | | o that the reason for the crowd's hostile reception was o | | Dylan's 'abandoning' of the folk orthodoxy, or poor | | o sound quality on the night (or a combination of the o | | two). | | o o | | 25 Jul 1969 The Seattle Pop Festival took place at the Gold Creek | | o Park, Woodinville, Washington.
