21 years ago this week, Bob Dylan played a three-night residency in Detroit. It was a tour of many such residencies (one of which included my first show!), but the Detroit stand, requested by subscriber Tim S, was special for a couple reasons. One is that Bob covered Bob—that is, Bob Dylan covered local hero Bob Seger, with a raucous “Get Out of Denver.”
The other is that another, much younger, local hero sat in: Jack White. The rumor was Meg was spotted in the wings too—we got so close to a proper Bob-White Stripes jam.
Even more notably, they didn’t play one of Dylan’s usual slot-in-a-special-guest songs like “I Shall Be Released” or “Rainy Day Women.” In fact, they didn’t play a Dylan song at all. They played a White Stripes song: “Ball & Biscuit.” Jack’s Third Man Records officially released it on a 45 a couple years ago:
