The Bootleg Series Vol. 11: The Basement Tapes Complete, 2014 (recorded 1967)
Written by Bob Dylan
This take is fairly similar to the second, the one that ended up on the 1975 Basement Tapes, except for a few very minor alterations in the lyric, some (presumably stoned) laughing by Dylan, and fancier organ trills by Garth Hudson. What makes these takes fascinating is not radical reinvention but the glimpse they offer into Dylan's process. It's raw music, songs discovering themselves, a blend of old-timey Americana, parody, and folk archeology. Even the laughter (as on the false start on "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream") becomes part of the music’s charm.
