Bob Dylan Performs 'You Ain't Goin' Nowhere' Live for First Time Since 2012
By

Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
Bob Dylan performed "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" from the Basement Tapes for the first time in 14 years on the second night of his summer tour in Woodinville, Washington. This follows the previous night's surprise performance of the deep cut "Baby, Won't You Be My Baby," which he hadn't played since recording it 59 years ago. While "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" is a more well-known song covered by many artists, it still marks a notable rarity in Dylan's live performances.
