Hey y'all,

    Sitting here tying up the phone lines as I listen to Blue-Eyed
Boston Boy. I really envy you folks up there! Three shows in October,
one coming up in a couple shows, plus Tom Scholz lives in your town!
(Just kidding about that last one. . .)
    Listening with joy to the 10-8-94 Senor (wow) got me thinking about
Bob's live repertoire, which got me thinking about the upcoming fall
tour, which got me to thinking about when Bob will ever get off his ass
and appease me by working up versions of two of my favorite tunes that
he has NEVER done live- "Sweetheart Like You" and "Day of the Locust",
which got me thinking, how many of his tunes has Bob never performed
live?
    Grabbed my handy Dundas' Tangled Up In Tapes book, headed to the
porcelain throne, upon which all of man and woman's greatest ideas were
conceived, and tried to find the answer to this question. Here are the
results!
    I traced the track listings of every legit Dylan release, from Bob
Dylan to Gr.Hits Vol 3. I restricted the list to Dylan compositions
only, so that ruled out most of Bob's first album, most of
Self-Portrait, and all of DYLAN. I included Good As I Been, and World
Gone Wrong, simply because they were released in the midst of constant
touring, and thus could have been (and should have been) the benefactor
of extensive live performance. I exluded Biograph and Bootleg Series for
the primary reason these records were released: rarity of performance.
Also, I included only live performances which were in front of an
audience for public consumption, which further excludes soundchecks,
studio rehearsals and the like.
    Well, here goes- the unfortunate wandering few, looking for a
setlist-

Well, there it is. Please correct me if you notice any errors.
I hope I'm just a little wrong. I mean it would be nice to know
that I might have missed a
show where Bob did "They Killed Him", possibly between Like A Rolling
Stone and "It Ain't Me Babe". Alas, it probably will never be.
I suppose I do have a little too much time on my hands to come up with a
list like this, but then, if you've read this far, so do you!
