One of only 2 covers of this song with both words & music. [First added to this chart: 04/06/2025]
This is a very rare cover song. The song isn't even listed in Dylan's lyrics books and most consider it to be an unfinished work.
The only record we have of the song is from audio recordings of the 13 May 1966 Glasgow concert.
Stephen Malkmus did the first cover of the song for the 'I'm Not There' biopic. Steven Keene's version is only the 2nd such cover. [First added to this chart: 02/18/2024]
The tune is an instrumental called “Meridian West,” which came about in 1985 when the The Waterboys were invited to perform with Dylan at a recording North London recording studio Church Studios. Dylan was working on the piece with musician Dave Stewart when The Waterboys joined in and the band’s frontman Mike Scott happened to record the jam session. In 2023, Scott reached out to Dylan and received Dylan’s authorization to include the track on this box set. [First added to this chart: 03/16/2024]
Track 10 - Legionnaire's Disease (Billy recorded the first cover of this song in 1981 with the Delta Cross Band & there have only been 2 subsequent cover versions since).
Note: Billy Cross was a member of Dylan's touring & studio band in the late 70's when the above-mentioned songs were written but never considered for the Street Legal album. [First added to this chart: 07/18/2024]
