Newport folk festival program, 1965

2,000 USD

Seemingly unconcerned with the "Folk" in the Newport Folk Festival, on July 25, Dylan took the stage with his Fender Stratocaster, accompanied by guitarists Mike Bloomfield and Barry Goldberg of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. In a brief performance he played "Maggie's Farm," "Like a Rolling Stone" (released five days prior), and "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry." He finished with two acoustic songs, "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue."

Line-up included industry heavy weights Joan Baez, Donovan, Maybelle Carter, Peter, Paul & Mary, and Mississippi John Hurt, but the show would become infamous due to The Electric Dylan Controversy.

Pop music would be forever changed, and Dylan would not play Newport again until 2002. This rare, collectible issue of the program also prints a short story by Dylan, "Off the Top of My Head."

In 1965, Bob Dylan did more than go electric—he detonated a cultural shift. From the smoke-filled hotel rooms of London to the charged stage at Newport, he carried himself with a volatile mix of bravado, wit, and vision, his words arriving like sparks from a live wire. Captured in D.A. Pennebaker’s 1967 documentary “Don’t Look Back,” Dylan is by turns mercurial and magnetic, alternately jousting with hangers-on and silencing a room with “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue.” What unfolded in that white-hot year was a break with the past so total that it redrew the future…

ORIGINS — SPRING 2015

As we mark ten years of Jacques Marie Mage, we return to where it all began: the nascent sparks, the first bold forms, the foundational silhouettes that set our course. With Origins, the inaugural offering from Réserve by JMM, we invite you to rediscover the earliest expressions of our ethos—limited-edition spectacles from the first season of the Circa Collection, which consisted of exactly four styles: the Dealan, Zephirin, Hatfield, And Fountainebleau.

Each Reserve collectible is thoughtfully custom-packaged to Jacques Marie Mage standards, with tailored care to each artifact. Each collectible is accompanied by a JMM Certificate of Authenticity and ID card.
