I Shall Be Unreleased (Rhino Records, 1991) - a compilation album of cover versions of then unreleased Dylan songs which includes the still unreleased AIN'T NO MAN RIGHTEOUS, NO NOT ONE performed by Jah Malla. Bob performed the song live in 1979 and 1980

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).
(Indefinite and definite articles at the beginning of song titles are ignored,, so A WOMAN LIKE YOU is on the "W" page, and THE KING IS ON THE THRONE is on the "K" page.)
