Bruce Springsteen – I WANT YOU – taken from a live radio broadcast, 2/5/75 – from the Main Point, Bryn Mawr, PA.  Recorded by Bob Dylan in 1966. It was issued as a single in June 1966, shortly before the release of its accompanying album, Blonde on Blonde.

Cracker – YOU AIN’T GOING NOWHERE – taken from their CD “Garage d’Or – 2000. Recorded at the Bowrey Ballroom, NYC in March 1999.  Written by Bob Dylan in 1967 in Woodstock, New York.  A recording of Dylan performing the song was first officially released on the Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II album in 1971.  An earlier 1967 recording of the song, performed by Dylan and The Band, was issued in 1975 on the album The Basement Tapes.

The Rolling Stones – LIKE A ROLLING STONE – From their CD “Stripped” – 1995.  Recorded live in London on July 19, 1995.  Written by Dylan in 1965, its confrontational lyrics originate in an extended piece of verse Dylan wrote in June 1965. After the lyrics were heavily edited, "Like a Rolling Stone" was recorded a few weeks later as part of the sessions for the forthcoming album Highway 61 Revisited. During a difficult two-day preproduction, Dylan struggled to find the essence of the song, which was demoed without success in 3/4 time. A breakthrough was made when it was tried in a rock music format, and rookie session musician Al Kooper improvised the organ riff for which the track is known.

TAMBOURINE MAN – From the CD “The 30^th Anniversary Concert” – 1993.  Recorded live October 16, 1992, Madison Square Garden, NYC.  Written and performed by Bob Dylan, released on his 1965 album Bringing It All Back Home. The Byrds also recorded a version of the song that was released as their first single on Columbia Records, reaching number 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the UK Singles Chart, as well as being the title track of their first album, Mr. Tambourine Man. The Byrds' recording of the song was influential in initiating the musical subgenre of folk rock, leading many contemporary bands to mimic its fusion of jangly guitars and intellectual lyrics in the wake of the single's success.
