Odds & Ends :: Dylan’s 1965 Studio Fragments

Bob Dylan :: You Don’t Have To Do That (00:55)

You Don’t Have To Do That - Recorded at the first Bringing It All Back Home sessions. A catchy solo acoustic thing.


Bob Dylan :: Lunatic Princess Revisited (01:11)

Lunatic Princess Revisited - An improvised, short unreleased song, bootlegged under the title "Lunatic Princess Revisited", but copyrighted as "Why Do You Have to Be So Frantic?". Critic Clinton Heylin calls the song a "weird little one-verse fragment", but claims that the riff is the blueprint of the singer's 1979 evangelical composition, 'Gotta Serve Somebody' from "Slow Train."


Bob Dylan :: Midnight Train (01:00)

Midnight Train - A beautiful dream of a song that Dylan would incorporate into “Temporary Like Achilles,” during the Nashville Blonde On Blonde sessions. It’ll have you pressing repeat over and over.


Bob Dylan :: Jet Pilot (01:29)

Jet Pilot - A riff that grooves along for a minute-and-a-half.


Bob Dylan :: I Don’t Wanna Be Your Partner (01:00)

I Don’t Wanna Be Your Partner - Dylan would rework it later into ‘I Wanna Be Your Lover”

Eat the Document:

Wikipedia - Documentary of Bob Dylan's 1966 tour of the United Kingdom with the Hawks. It was shot under Dylan's direction by D. A. Pennebaker, whose groundbreaking documentary, Don't Look Back, chronicled Dylan's 1965 British tour. The film was originally commissioned for the ABC television series Stage '66.





Includes footage from the infamous Manchester Free Trade Hall concert, wherein an audience member shouted "Judas!" during the electric half of Dylan's set. Dylan's band during these shows were The Hawks (later to become The Band). Songs from various shows throughout the tour featured in the film include "Tell Me, Momma", "I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met)", "Ballad of a Thin Man", and "One Too Many Mornings."

Other scenes include Dylan and Robbie Robertson in hotel rooms writing and working through new songs, most of which remain unreleased and unpublished. Among these songs are "I Can't Leave Her Behind", which was later covered by Stephen Malkmus for the I'm Not There soundtrack.

The film also includes a piano duet with Johnny Cash performing Cash's "I Still Miss Someone".


Hat-Tip: Dangerous Minds

"Watch Bob Dylan in ‘Eat the Document’ (with John Lennon, Johnny Cash and The Band) while you can"
