Barry Goldberg, Keyboardist Who Played With Bob Dylan At Controversial Newport ’65 Concert, Dies At 83

Celebrated blues-rock keyboardist Barry Goldberg died on Wednesday at the age of 83. A representative for the musician, Bob Merlis, said that Goldberg died in hospice care after a decade-long struggle with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. His wife of 53 years, Gail Goldberg, and son, Aram, were at his bedside. In his early days, Goldberg worked with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, which led to him playing with Bob Dylan in the 1960s. Goldberg was in Dylan’s band during his infamous 1965 Newport Folk Festival concert where the folk singer famously plugged in for an electric set, a performance which was dramatized by Timothée Chalamet in the hit film, A Complete Unknown. Goldberg’s self-titled 1974 album remains the only album that Dylan ever produced for another artist. In addition to being a founding member of the 1960s group the Electric Flag, Goldberg’s impressive credits include writing/producing/playing with legendary artists like Steve Miller, the Ramones, Leonard Cohen, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Stephen Stills, Rod Stewart, and many more.
