Right...complete tapes of the set show that the audience only started to 
get restless when he left the stage after only 3 songs (which is all he 
was scheduled for). While it's possible there were some boos here and 
there, the audience reaction as captured on tape is pretty positive.

The whole "Dylan was booed off stage and had to come back with an acoustic 
to appease the fans" myth is just that - a myth.
