Bob Dylan performed “House of the Rising Sun,” a song off his debut album that he didn’t write, at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle, England on April 12, 2007.

At the Music Vault website I’ve found five complete video clips and one partial clip of Bob Dylan performing at the Oakland Coliseum in 1988.
He was performing at a benefit for the Bridge School. G. E. Smith accompanies Dylan on acoustic guitar.
There’s an incredible version of “Forever Young.”
And it’s great to hear Dylan sing “San Francisco Bay Blues” just across the bay from San Francisco.
The entire set is great.
