DISCREPANCIES:

 Olof's Chronicles:

A very readable, highly accessible web-based listing of Dylan's on and off-stage activities by Olof Bjorner. A good starting point of casual collectors and those just beginning to plumb the depths of Dylandom. You can find it here.

November 9:

Olof does not report the inversion of "Slow Train Coming" and "Precious Angel" this evening.

November 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16:

Olof lists "What Can I Do For You/In The Garden/Saved" as songs 13-15.

November 14:

Olof lists "Precious Angel" as omitted.  See my "Sources" for this evening suggesting that "Precious Angel" was indeed performed.

November 15:

Olof lists "Ain't No Man Righteous" as performed this evening rather than the 16th.

Tangled Up In Tapes:

A comprehensive listing of both circulating and non-circulating setlists and recording sessions available in bound form as "Tangled Up In Tapes - A Recording History of Bob Dylan" by Glen Dundas (4th Ed. 1999).  An excellent resource for those seeking to make sense of the thousands of recordings currently circulating. It has some very nice pictures too. You can find it here.

November 14:

Dundas lists "Precious Angel" as omitted. See my "Sources" for this evening suggesting that "Precious Angel" was indeed performed.

 

Dylanbase:

Another comprehensive listing of Dylan's performances, both on and off-stage, this one embodied in database format.  Another excellent resource for the serious fan/collector. You can find it here.  Dylanbase, unlike Dundas and Olof, lists the songs performed by the backing band where they are known to circulate.  Most of the discrepancies I found between my own research and that listed in Dylanbase concern which shows circulate as complete recordings, i.e., including songs performed by the backing band. 

November 1:

Dylanbase does not report a complete show circulating.

November 6:

Dylanbase does not report "What Are You Doing With Your Heart", performed by Helena Springs, as circulating.

November 11:

Dylanbase reports a complete show circulating, which I have been unable to confirm.

November 14:

Dylanbase does not report a complete show circulating. Also omits "Precious Angel" and "What Are You Doing With Your Heart", performed by Helena Springs.  See my "Sources" for this evening suggesting that "Precious Angel" was indeed performed.

November 15:

Dylanbase does not report a complete show circulating.
