Fixin' To Die
Idiot Wind
Lily Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts
Notes:
"A great example of the early coffee house shows before Bob was picked up by CBS Records. He was, of course, newly signed at this point, but was still doing the coffee house type show. He jokes and interacts with the small crowd, and sings his young heart out. Two songs of particular interest are Woody Guthrie's 1913 Massacre, (Bob stole this tune for his own 'Song to Woody') and Bukka White's 'Fixin' to Die'. This version is much the same as it would appear on the first album, as it would be only two weeks before the recording would be done. Although the show is a line recording directly from the soundboard, the early 1960's technology is evident in the sometimes muffled sound."

Thanks! These concerts are great. One question though: the last two Blood on the Tracks cuts are definitely not from the 1961 concert. Any idea of where they come from? They sound like demos, are they the same ones that were on the official Columbia Bootleg series discs?
THIS STUFF IS PRICELESS. THANKS

They are. Early live cuts of the songs, but played at the concert. Tracks sound that way 'cos they are from acetate (a couple 'vinyl pop' type noises). Please contradict me if you have better info.
These recordings make up the bootleg album Acoustic Troubador, more information can be found in www.bobsboots.com The last 2 tracks are Blood on the Tracks test pressings from around 1974. David Willis
Those last two tracks most definitely are not from a 1961 live performance (or any live performance). They are from the original Columbia test pressing of Blood On The Tracks, circulated in 1974. A different outtake of "Idiot Wind" appears on Bootleg Series 1-3.
This set of tracks apparently comes from a recent BitTorrent of the bootleg CD "Acoustic Troubadour"

which omitted the 1971 Concert for Bangla Desh songs because the uploader thought they had been officially released.
I stand corrected.
