Just one take, it seems, but Dylan seems to know the song well. I would think it’s the sentiments of the lyrics that caught Dylan’s ear: “Everybody likes a celebration, happy music and conversation/But I’d be lyin’ if I said I didn’t have the blues.” Never included in the shows. A strange choice, this pop song, might some say. Tour rehearsal for the Retrospective Tour fall 1980.
This Night Won’t Last Forever (Rehearsal) (Oct 9, 1980) Includes the “long black train” and the line “Train, train, comin’ round the bend”, a bit earlier than the slow train. The Junior Parker song, famously covered by Elvis. Shot of Love Sessions Outtake A different and longer track from what I’ve heard before, here with Dylan emulating the train whistle in a falsetto. Mystery Train (Shot of Love Outtake) (May 15, 1981)

Dylan also plays a version of the song in the movie “Hearts of Fire”, his character Billy Parker claiming he wrote it to the girl in the movie. Written by Shel Silverstein and “the voice” of Dr Hook, Dennis Loccoriere. A beautiful version included in some of the fall 1980 live sets.ĭr Hook’s version is well known, so is Willie and Waylon’s. Dylan plays the piano, directing the backup singers. This is from the very first of the rehearsals. “There’s a wall that can fall, and a wall that you can walk right through” – “I need a woman, black, white, yellow, blue or green” Dylan of course also knows the Louvin Brothers version.

Tour rehearsal for the Retrospective Tour fall 1980 – the song was included in the “Trouble No More” film in BS 13.
Jesus Met the Woman at the Well (Rehearsal) Backup singers sings part of the song, like they did in the shows. Rehearsal with the back-up singers and a strong mandolin from Fred Tackett.
