Abandoned love live 1975, 'The Other End', Dylan at his best.

My video of Bob Dylan, singing the definitive version of Abandoned Love, at 'The Other End'. There are many covers of this song, but nothing gets close to this, not even Bob's album version.

It's no use knowing the source, as you have to be a member to download from it.

Check out my favourited videos. Most were taken during a Bob Dylan 70th Birthday Party at Esquires in Bedford. Thanks!

No there aren't any better quality, it was only recorded on a handheld, by a member of the audience. We should just thank him for having the foresight to record it.

[TheChrishoughton]

Glad to see someone has spotted two mistakes

[TheChrishoughton]

I think with an American accent, you would hear the 'r' in guards more pronounced than we hear on this song. The official lyrics state 'Gods', I know that doesn't prove much where Dylan is concerned, but I think in this case it probably is 'Gods'. Thanks for the comment.

I had a nightmare finding this track and had to convert to mp3. Dylan had turned up to the 'Other End', which was located inside the 'Bitter End', in Greenwich Village, NYC. Rambling Jack Elliott was playing and invited Dylan on stage. Dylan performed with Elliott and then said he had just written a new song. Elliott actually began backing Dylan, at the start, but then thought better of it and left him to stun the audience with this performance.

Thanks to Joe Kivak for recording this and thanks TheChrishoughton for sharing it here - Bob at his finest.

I prefer this to Joey. I don't understand why Joey was put on Desire instead of this masterpiece :( Joey still a good song though
