Live Performances
Dylan first performed every song except one from Highway 61 Revisited in concert in 1965. They have remained central, in varying degrees, to his repertoire during Dylan's long career of live performances since then. According to Dylan's official website, he has played "Like a Rolling Stone" over 2,000 times, "Highway 61 Revisited" more than 1,700 times, "Ballad of a Thin Man" over 1,000 times, and most of the other songs between 150 and 500 times. There is no record of Dylan having performed "Queen Jane Approximately" in 1965; the first recorded live performance was in a July 1987 show in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Since then, Dylan has performed "Queen Jane" over 70 times. "From a Buick 6" is the sole composition from Highway 61 Revisited for which there are no records of Dylan playing since 1965.

Famous quotes containing the words live and/or performances:
“The present is an age of talkers, and not of doers; and the reason is, that the world is growing old. We are so far advanced in the Arts and Sciences, that we live in retrospect, and dote on past achievement.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
