Well, he's only played If You Ever Go to Houston 17 times, so if he put it away today and kept touring for another 10 years, you could call it a rarity.

What you're asking for requires too much work:

My first concert in 89 had these gems:

Trouble. 3rd time played. Total 7 times.
Early Morning Rain. 4th time played. Total 8 times
Hey La La. 3rd time played. Total 3 times.

Golden Vanity (played once?)
Answer Me (played a handful)
Folsom Prison Blues (played two handfuls)

none fit the bill as they weren't on Bob Dylan albums, but they were all done at the same show (Evanston '91)

---------------
I also saw You Ain't Going Nowhere, which is sort of rare.

Not terrible for three shows.

Two Soldiers 91

You great big oaf... you've missed out 'Dylan - A Fool Such As I'... and 'Christmas In The Heart'... how can folk take you seriously when you omit big chunks of his work... you need to tighten up your game... have your finger on the pulse... you've let me, and my colleagues down... but more than that, you've let yourself down.

Probably "Romance in Durango" - London 03 (I think it was 03?)

A great version it was too - from one of the best gigs I've seen him play.

Well, a brave few have completed it.

Perhaps there will be others.

So what are the Basement Tapes then, chopped liver?

Bob Dylan - none

What do you mean - "Saved - none (luckily) ?"

Don't be a wanker.

"In the Garden" is one of his greatest songs.

Not to mention "Saved" itself, "Pressing On", "Covenant Woman","Solid Rock", "What Can I Do For You" - all wonderful.

Especially if you caught them live in 79/80.

I've seen him do these....

"Something There Is About You"
"Mama, You Been On My Mind"
"Nobody 'Cept You"
"Changing Of The Guards"
"Is Your Love In Vain?"
"Where Are You Tonight?"
"Precious Angel"
"Gonna Change My Way Of Thinking"
"Do Right To Me Baby (Do Unto Others)"
"Man Gave Names To All the Animals"
"When He Returns"
"Covenant Woman"
"What Can I Do For You"
"Saved"
"Saving Grace"
"Are You Ready"

what is the slowest fast song you have forgotten from each album?


what is the fairest song you have forsaken from your favorite album?

Bob Dylan - Song to Woody (only one I heard live)

Blonde On Blonde - 4th Time + Five Believers
John Wesley Harding - Frankie Lee
Nashville Skyline - none of those I heard is really rare

misc. - Waiting For You (both times)

This thread can't hold a candle to Cshoe's one about the Dylan song you took a piss during...

"Senor, senor, can you tell me where we're headin'..."

Just the thought of it makes me all tinkly inside.

Live rarities - Happy Birthday - Auckland 2003. That's rare.

Also, Seven Days - Hyde Park 1996.

Political World 90
Two Soldiers 91
Bob Dylan's Dream 91
Wiggle Wiggle 91
Everything Is broken 91
When I Paint My Masterpiece 91 and 2009,
