During a show at Kleinhans Music Hall in New York, Bob Dylan treated fans to a deep cut from the 1965 album, Highway 61 Revisited.
Alongside songs such as "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue", "Like a Rolling Stone", "Ballad of a Thin Man", he played "Desolation Row" for the first time in five years, and used a wrench in the performance, banging it against his microphone for additional percussion.
The Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, is scheduled for release on 25 December.
