Bob Dylan – Los Angeles, CA (11/15/78)

Bob Dylan
The Fabulous Forum
Inglewood (Los Angeles), California
November 15th, 1978

—–Includes a very rare Dylan song—–
“Am I Your Stepchild?”
There are only a few live recordings of this unreleased song played during the 1978 tour.
Also known as “You Treat Me Like A Stepchild” or simply “Stepchild”.
The song was eventually recorded by Soul legend Solomon Burke in 2002.
Dylan’s original version is faster and has different lyrics.
It seems that Bob tried to develop the song during his ’78 concerts, but he has never released a studio version of this song.
