Bob Dylan at the Isle of Wight Festival 1969

By Bill Bradshaw and Ray Foulk

When Richie Havens walked on to the Woodstock stage at Bethel, NY, on August 15, 1969, he led a star-studded roster of talent at an event that captivated a generation... But someone, something, was missing. The event was planned in New York State and given the name of Bob Dylan's home town in a bid to entice the reclusive star to add the ultimate artistic credence to the event. Dylan refused and opted, instead, to make his first pre-announced concert performance in more than three years at the Isle of Wight Festival of Music, off England's southern coast. This is the story of that extraordinary festival in the English Channel - and Dylan's huge part in it - 50 years ago.
