1) Abandoned Love- He performed this in 1976 in New York before it was ever officially released and got a great response which is probably why he hasn't performed it since and why if it was up to him it wouldn't have seen the light of day. Inspired verse, "Something's telling me, I love you but you're strange."
2) Never Say Goodbye- From Planet Waves the great Dylan song never performed live. His performance on vinyl is chilling, to hear it live would be a treat. Inspired verse, "You're beautiful beyond words, more beautiful to me, you could make me cry, never say goodbye."
3) Blind Willie McTell- This is another song Dylan never planned to release in a perverse decision (just how good would have Infidels been with the inclusion of this song?) Inspired verse, "Power, greed, and corruptible seed seem to be all that there is..."
4) Where Are You Tonight?- The entire Street Legal LP has sadly been overlooked by fans, critics and Bob himself (as far as live performances). This song is as close to recording a nervous breakdown as one can get. Inspired verse, "I can't believe it, I can't believe I'm alive but without you it doesn't feel right..."
5) Visions of Johanna- This is one of his "big" songs from the 60's he hasn't performed on his Never Ending Tour. The version included on Biograph is possibly the finest live performance ver recroded by anyoen at any time. It's ethereal man. Inspired verse, "Little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously..."
