Correction Country Pie appeared on a official Sony release for Japan that had to be purchased as an Import called something like “Bob Dylan live 1961 -2000″ I can’t find my copy to confirm the name
Down along the Cove appeared on one of the Bonoroo collections I think 2008

He’s entitled to his opinion, I think Bob sounds kind of Fake on Nashville Skylines too.

Nothing from the Neverending Tour? All 1960′s and Rolling Thunder. I respectfully disagree.

I will try to stick to officially released material

Boots Of Spanish Leather – Officially released 1990′s version from one of the EP Collections. ( The second version, there are 2 versions that appeared on EPs in the 90s)

Country Pie – officially released on one of the Bonoroo albums

Grand Coulee Dam, I Aint Got No Home, Dear Mrs. Roosevelt – from the Woody Guthrie Memorial concert 1969 with the Band.

It Takes a Lot To Laugh… – The Concert for Bangladesh

Down in The Flood and When I Paint my Masterpiece from the re-issue of the Band’s Rock of Ages album, Bob also joins the band for teh best Live version of Like a Rolling Stone on that reissue. LARS was never really a great live number.

Any Good Version of Tangled up In Blue or Don’t think Twice from the Never Ending Tour focus on 1997-2002

And I will reccomend 1 Bootleg- 2 Nights in Dublin ( Vicar St. Dublin 9/13/00 & 9/14/2000) Which has both Tangled and Twice and The best live version of It’s Alright Ma Ever Recorded.

Im only 15 and Bob Dylan is my idol. Listening to songs like Visions of Johanna is no longer listening its ‘experiencing’ . I never disliked Dylans voice of his protest/folk days but his voice on Blonde on Blonde is majestic. Dylan was in his prime in ’66 kinda lost his voice in ’69 when he went country but still he’s the greatest artist to have EVER lived!

Several other great Dylan live performances (you'll have to search YouTube or other sites yourselves; I'm at work and they are blocked…this page has no link where I am, although I've seen all these clips dozens of times):

* 1995 Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame: "All Along The Watchtower." A sizzling guitar jam with Dylan and JJ Jackson on lead, and Bucky Baxter on slide. Just stunning the way the band builds the melody to a crescendo, then walks it back down, then builds it up again. Staggering.

* 1998 Tribute to Johnny Cash: "Train of Love." Even better if you can find a posting with Dylan's intro to JC.

* 1983 David Letterman Show: "Don't Start Me Talkin' (I'll Tell Everything I Know")." A punked up rendition of an old blues number (by, I think buy may be wrong, Blind Lemon Jefferson). Wicked energy.

* 1974 Tribute to John Hammond, Sr. "Hurricane" and "Simple Twist of Fate." Dylan singing is super, and it's as good a look at Scarlett Rivera with Bob as you're going to find.

* 1980 Toronoto, Canada: "What Can I Do For You?". An achingly heartfelt performance of one of his gospel standards, with, IMHO, the most memorizing harmonica solo in music history. You can feel Dylan's passion in each note, and it tears at the soul. Just nothing like it.

* 1995 MTV Unplugged: "John Brown." The best version I could find of Dylan doing this little-known anti-war ballad from his folk days. His signing is terrific, and the band (also with JJ Jackson) is in top notch form. Lot has been made of Dylan's 80s/90s lack of production, but his live stuff in the 90s was, arguably, his peak as a performing artist.

Finally:

* 1969/70 (not sure): in the studio with Johnny Cash: "One Too Many Mornings." From a 2-3 say session with the great Cash that one hopes is cleaned up some day and released. The bootlegs themselves are priceless (Dylan singing "Ring of Fire"? Believe it.), and this video of them hamming it up in the studio will someday be looked at in awe. It should have in 1970. A shame they didn't do a full album together of original stuff.

as i have been a dylan fan since his greenwich village days . seen a lot of concerts but his best show was at fort collins colorado which i didn't attend. looking at videos from that show it was truly his best effort. the opening song was hard rain gonna fall seeing him start singing as the curtain raising blew me away. it was 1975 or 76 and he was in his mid 30s the energy didn't flow from him it exploded. your picks are very wise
