Dylan Goes Electric!

Dylan Goes Electric! Newport, Seeger, Dylan, and the Night That Split the Sixties is a 2015 book by Elijah Wald and published by Dey Street Books.

The book describes the Electric Dylan controversy, arising from a conflict between Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger during the Newport Folk Festival.

John Harris of The Guardian wrote that the "contrast between Dylan and Seeger" is the "spine" of the book, and that it "both explains the huge array of subplots that fed into the Newport moment and undermines any idea that the story is clear-cut." Timothy Farrington of The Wall Street Journal wrote that the book is about "the clash between cultural authenticity and commercial success."

The book was part of the inspiration of the film A Complete Unknown.
