WOODSIDE BAY, Isle of Dylan to concert work and Wight (UPI)—A hard day's cheers for a naked young night for 200,000 rock fans/couple who made love in a sea ended today with an ovation forl of foam, the triumphant return of Bob .The fans, jamming this small island off the south coast of England, rearded their appro val of Dylan’s 17-song set. The 28-year-old American singer withdrew from the concert world after a motorcycle accident that broke his neck 27 months ago. Dylan, who reportedly re ceived $84,000 for his appea rance, was te last artist to perform in the two-day rock festival here. The only threatening incident occurred when people near the operm air stage surged forward to greet Dylan. A shower of soft-drink cans and bottles fell jon them, heaved by fans who wanted to see. A young couple stripped, plunged into a pool of artifically pumped foam and began making love in full view of hundreds. “Beautiful? and “freaky, baby,” spectators’ shouted. ' The girl, identifying herself as Vivien, eventually left her partner and put on a’ sweater. Asked why she had frolicked in the foam, she shrugged and said: “Why not?” The only problems to fiery productions, organizers of the concert, were gate-crashers who tried to scramble over the plywood fence enclosing the grounds. The producers said they took in about $200,000 or just enough to break even. Not everyone on the island’ was pleased with the festival. “My old man says its bad enough having to do 15 years without having to listen to that vow,” said a woman leaving a nearby Parkhurst jail following ‘a visit with her husband.
