| SAMSON AND DELILAH | June 11, 2004 | Bonarroo (Manchester, TN) |
| SAM STONE | September 1971 | Bitter End (New York City) |
| Song performed by John Prine, with Dylan on harp and backing vocals. Heylin dates this appearance to 1972, Shelton to 1973, but Prine's own account places the appearance in 1971. | ||
| SAN FRANCISCO BAY BLUES | perhaps spring 1960 | |
| Reported as a regular feature of Dylan's St. Paul club sets. It reportedly appears on the complete fall 1960 Minneapolis tape, and circulates on other informal recordings from early 1961; the earliest surviving live recording comes from a September 1961 Gerdes performance (in a duet with Jim Kweskin). | ||
| SATISFIED MIND | November 9, 1999 | Apollo Of Temple (Philadelphia) |
| SEARCHING FOR A SOLDIER'S GRAVE | June 15, 2000 | Roseland Theater (Portland, OR) |
| SEE THAT MY GRAVE IS KEPT CLEAN | probably summer 1961 | |
| The first documented (but unrecorded) performance of this song comes from Dylan's opening set at Gerdes, September 26, 1961; Dylan presumably honed his version of the song in previous appearances. The only recorded live performance is found on the October 1962 Gaslight Tape. | ||

| SILVER DAGGER | October 31, 1964 | Philharmonic Hall (NYC) |
| Song performed by Joan Baez, backed by Dylan on harp. There appear to be no reports of earlier duet performances of this song, a longtime staple in Baez's sets, and Hajdu implies the performance was a debut. | ||
| SILVER MANTIS | probably April 18, 1976 | Civic Center Arena (Lakeland) |
| Song performed by T-Bone Burnett, perhaps backed by Dylan on guitar. I'm unaware of any direct evidence that Dylan played on the song, but it appears on so many tapes which otherwise exclude the non-Dylan performances that some Dylan contribution seems likely. | ||
| SING ME BACK HOME | June 11, 2004 | Bonarroo (Manchester, TN) |
| SINNER MAN | probably winter 1959-60 | |
| Remembered by Ten O'Clock Scholar manager Dave Lee as part of "Bob Dillon's" first set at the Minneapolis club. | ||

| SLIPPIN' AND SLIDIN' | July 14, 1969 | Mississippi River Festival (Edwardsville) |
