“Restless Farewell,” Bob Dylan, Los Angeles May 21, 1998 — one day after attending Frank Sinatra’s funeral.

I played a Frank Sinatra tribute show a few years back, and I had one of Frank’s songs. We had it all worked out and everything, but then they, uh, they said they wanted to hear this one instead so… I hadn’t played it up till that time [since the original 1964 recording] and I haven’t played it since, I’ll try my best to do it.

Incredible, a similar arrangement to the 1995 version at Sinatra’s last public appearance, but more raw.
