Perhaps - but no TEMPEST songs.

Also, the title of the opening instrumental is still causing concern. Bob's own website gives it as Rainy Day Women but that may simply be a question of keeping the royalties within Dylan's own fold - not that Bob hasn't performed songs he hasn't written live before. He has. Dozens if not into the hundreds. There's an almost 500-page book on the subject, going through the over 500 non-Dylan songs he's done live, on TV, on radio and in the studio. Sweet Home Chicago is associated with Robert Johnson, to whom authorship was attributed at the time, though this has since been questioned. Johnson has long been researched by blues collectors and one of these, Stephen LaVere, apparently got Johnson's closest surviving relative to sign a contract wth him, under which he gets half the royaties from the song. That's the story, anyway, as best I recall it.

Just heard the recording of that opening instrumental. What I can say is that it is not Rainy Day Women. It's a pretty standard r'n'b run through and could well be Sweet Home Chicago.
