If that year is correct...was that the only time Gordon performed at the Newport Folk fest? I'd appreciate knowing this if anyone can tell me.
It was July 25, 1965 during the Sunday afternoon session. Dylan went electric at the evening session that night. You can see the program at the Hamilton Camp web site here: www.hamiltoncamp.com/musician.asp . It was the only time Gord performed at Newport. Hamilton had performed there with Bob Gibson in 1960.
