That day the 21-year-old Dylan performed four songs: 'Talking John Birch Society Blues,' 'Masters of War,' 'A Hard Rain"s a-Gonna Fall,' and a duet with Joan Baez on 'With God on Our Side.' Nine days later Columbia Records released his seminal second album, The Freewheelin" Bob Dylan.

Also appearing at the festival, although not mentioned in the program, were the Wildwood Boys, which featured a young Jerry Garcia on banjo, Robert Hunter on stand up bass, David Nelson on guitar, and Ken Frankel on fiddle. The group won the festival band contents; Garcia also played in an amateur banjo competition held on one of the festival stages, and finished in second place.
