Bob Dylan performs “I Shall Be Released” for the first time in 18 years during a recent stop on his touring schedule. Multiple outlets report the appearance of the song after a long gap, describing it as a deep cut drawn from the “Basement Tapes” material. The performance fits into Dylan’s broader pattern of incorporating tracks from those sessions into his summer setlists. Stereogum also places the moment within the context of Dylan’s ongoing “Rough and Rowdy Ways” Tour, noting that he continues to introduce lesser-known recordings and rarely played material at different shows. In the same tour run, Stereogum says Dylan previously debuted “Baby, Will You Be My Baby,” a track recorded in 1967 that was not officially released until 2014, for the first time ever. NME similarly frames the “I Shall Be Released” performance as a notable return after nearly two decades away, but does not add additional details beyond its occurrence and connection to his Basement Tapes-focused set choices.

2 months agoBob Dylan, still a tireless road dog at 85, loves to pull out a random deep cut at a random show. Dylan is now 64 years and 40 studio albums deep into his career, so his catalog is vast, and he can pick from a lot of tracks. Last week, for instance, Dylan kicked off the latest leg of his Rough And Rowdy Ways Tour in Troutdale, Oregon, and he played his song "Baby, Will You Be My Baby," recorded in 1967 and not officially released until 2014, for the first time ever. On Tuesday, Dylan hit Eugene, Oregon, and he once again reached back to the Basement Tapes sessions, this time bringing back a more famous song for the first time in 18 years.
