Forty-eight years ago, Bob Dylan arrived in Glasgow, Scotland on May 18, 1966f. He was booked to play a show the next night, on May 19, at the Odeon Theater in Glasgow.

On either May 18 or 19, in his hotel room at what was then called the North British Hotel, he worked on songs with Robbie Robertson.

Below is some footage from “Eat the Document” plus extended audio of two of the songs.

I can’t find anything online from the Odeon show, put on May 20 Dylan and band performed at the ABC Theater in Edinburgh and I’ve got three songs from that show.

Good stuff.

“What Kind of Friend Is This?”

“On A Rainy Afternoon/ I Can’t Leave Her Behind”:

[In August of this year I’ll be publishing my rock ‘n’ roll/ coming-of-age novel, “True Love Scars,” which features a narrator who is obsessed with Bob Dylan. To read the first chapter, head here.]
