I was watching the DVD of Dylan's appearance at the Newport Folk festival
and noticed that the same photographer was on the back of the stage in both
63 and 64 and both years was using a black M - I assume an MP - with a
Leicavit. Anyone know who he was, or whether any of the photographs are
available online?

A long shot I know.

The DVD by the way is excellent with performances from 63, 64 and 65. Dylan
starts as Woody in a work shirt in 63. 65 is of course the electric
performance that enraged Seeger amongst many others. It's quite amusing to
watch the audience at the end of the 64 show roaring for an encore while the
poor stage announcer tries to tell them that there isn't time as there are
still two acts to appear before the end of the show. A definition of
stealing the show, and I expect the other two performers were a little
nervous when they finally hit the stage.
