In the first year of the Never Ending Tour, Dylan pulled out all the stops. Not only did he play deep cuts from his own catalog he'd never performed before, but he covered many unexpected songs, often from the folk songbook and often acoustic with G.E. Smith. Here are some of the best.

** The Public Version includes the first six songs. The Subscriber Version includes all 10 plus a full-songs bonus show. **

Today we journey back to 1986 to explore some of the many old-time-rock-and-roll covers Bob Dylan performed while on tour with his big-name backing band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (and don't forget the Queens of Rhythm!). Exploring largely songs they grew up with, they tackle everything from Ricky Nelson to "House of the Rising Sun" to a song in Japanese.
