More from the upcoming Bob Dylan set, The Cutting Edge 1965–1966: The Bootleg Series Vol. 12. I’ve been listening to an advance and although I haven’t yet gotten through all the music, what I have heard is amazing.
Here is a version of “Subterranean Homesick Blues.” The footage is fascinating; this version of the song is excellent.
Enjoy!
Here’s the same video on YouTube incase the previous from Vevo doesn’t play:
And here’s the version released on “Bringing It All Back Home.”

In the San Francisco Bay Area, in September of 1965, to followup Bob Dylan’s Top 40 hit, “Like A Rolling Stone,” radio stations started playing the next Dylan single, “Positively 4th Street.” I loved the song and soon bought a copy at the record store a mile from my house in Mill Valley. When I got home and played it though, it wasn’t the new Dylan song I’d heard on the radio.
What I had was a pressing with a version of “Please Crawl Out Your Window,” a song Dylan had recorded with the Highway 61 Revisited Band, which of course included Michael Bloomfield on guitar. And it was great too.
Today I’ve got a different version of “Please Crawl Out Your Window,” the very first take. It’s quite different, including some minor differences in the lyrics.
Check it out.
The version that was on my single:
And a version released in December 1965 with Dylan and The Band:

Come November 6 the latest in Bob Dylan’s Bootleg Series sets, The Cutting Edge 1965-1966: The Bootleg Series Volume 12 , will be released.
Today we get a taste with this previously unreleased version of “Sitting on a Barbed Wire Fence,” a track cut in 1965. The song never made an official Dylan album until 1991, when a different version was included on the first Bootleg Series set.
This is quite awesome. Dig the great Michael Bloomfield on lead guitar.
New version:
Here’s the version released in 1991:
