He sang that song, "I ain't going to work
on Maggie's farm no more. "

:49:06
I said, "Hey look,
he's taking that old Penny's Farm...

:49:08
"and putting it somewhere else.
That's terrific".

:49:11
I thought that was interesting.
:49:15
But the volume of the blues band
was kind of wild...

:49:19
and you couldn't get the words too clearly.
:49:22
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more
:49:30
No, I ain't gonna work
for Maggie's ma no more

:49:41
Well, she talks to all the servants
about man and God and law

:49:45
Everybody says she's the brains behind pa
:49:49
She's 72 but she says she's 24
:49:53
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more

It was not possible
to share the kind of intimacy...

:50:03
that we were sharing with folk music...
:50:04
when you've got
those electric instruments going.

:50:07
The moment you've got drums there,
everything has got to come up in level.

:50:16
The sound was a bit harsh.
:50:18
But we thought it was way cool.
:50:20
And what we noticed was...
:50:23
about a third of the audience
was booing, which was unheard of...

:50:26
not in all our days of seeing...
:50:28
whatever kind of show
had we ever seen that.

:50:33
I remember understanding
that drugs were bad and alcohol was bad...

:50:37
and rock 'n' roll was wicked
and sex was bad.

:50:41
And so I thought, "Oh, my goodness,
how depraved this is all getting".

:50:45
All right!
:50:48
I was thinking that somebody was shouting,
"Are you with us? Are you with us?"

:50:52
And, you know,
I don't know what that, you know, like...

:50:55
What was that supposed to mean?
:50:57
I had no idea why they were booing.
:50:59
I don't think anybody was there
having a negative response to those...
