He added: “I didn’t hear it crystal clear and then he [Dylan] sort of looked a bit astounded.
“And then he said, ‘no, you’re a liar’, something like that and then I started taking pictures again.
“I think I’ve almost got the shot of when Dylan turns around and looks towards Robbie Robertson and that’s when he said, ‘play it louder’.”
Corbett added: “When he went to the first electric song, you could hear shuffling or you’re aware that people were moving downstairs and I think about maybe 30, 40, 50, even more people walked out.”
At the time it was no big deal to Corbett.
“It wasn’t a shock actually because, first of all, I was aware of it.
“I had read Melody Maker and how he had been at, I think it was a Newport Folk Festival, and he’d actually gone electric on the sets there.”
He added: “There wasn’t much actually made of this at the time about going to electric, something that people look back on in hindsight sort of thing.”
Corbett explained: “You didn’t have the social media then.
“You didn’t have YouTube. You didn’t have anywhere, no emails, so you couldn’t e-mail anybody.
“And you couldn’t telephone anybody and say, ‘hey, what do you think about this?'”
Corbett was more concerned about his trip to the south of France he took soon after.
As for the photos he said: “I sat on them, I’ve still got them. I tried selling them ages and ages ago, but nobody seemed interested.”
