"Nope it was the Butterfield Band.  I thought it was the band too but  
then I did a little research and Robert is exactly right on this one. 
If  you type dylan electric and newport into a search string you'll trip 
over  several accounts of the newport show and what turned out to be the 
death  knell for the Folk revival of the early 60's.  Fascinating  
reading.  Dylan did play the Carnegie Hall Woody Guthrie memorial  
concert backed by a band then known as the Crackers.  They were later  to 
become the Band who Dylan did tour with several years later.  Here's  a 
link to one of the several articles I found on this subject,

......and this is from the CD of "The Paul Butterfield Blues Band -- The  
Original Lost Elektra Sessions", excerpted from the long Paul Rothchild inside  
cover blurb, Los Angeles, March, 1995:
 
""Their own extraordinary performances at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival,  
during which they also backed Bob Dylan in his historic first rock performance,  
combined to assure The Butterfield Band's success".
