Dylan first recorded the song in New York City in November 1965 , under the working title of " Freeze Out " , but was dissatisfied with the results . When the '' Blonde on Blonde '' recording sessions moved to Nashville in February 1966 , Dylan attempted the composition again with different musicians , and decided to release this performance . All of the alternate versions of the song have been officially released , but some only on a limited edition collectors set : many of them are November 1965 or later 1966 studio outtakes , and two others are live performances from his 1966 world tour
