As an offended audience booed Dylan performing with Butterfield's band (minus Butterfield himself), an incensed Seeger, outraged at his friend's apostasy, wanted the audio shut off and sought an axe to cut the cables as Dylan and the band ripped through "Maggie's Farm" and "Like A Rolling Stone," Dylan's just-released single.
