| By all accounts, Dylan wrote this song for a CORE benefit; although no account of the concert is known, it is fair to infer that he actually debuted the song at that event. At least one earlier, informal rendition of the song is known (at the Folklore Center), and the song also appears on the "Folksinger's Choice" radio tape. The first confirmed live performance is found on the July 2, 1962 Finjan Club (Montreal) recording. | ||
