This is an extracted list of unreleased Dylan songs performed live for an audience. I haven't included songs performed only at soundchecks. The performance at the New York Town Hall, 12 Apr 1963, intended for a live album, is the source for five of these still unreleased songs! Sadly, because of fear of bootlegging, Bob no longer tries out new songs in concert as he did when these were performed (the last is from 1984).
