Bob Dylan is undoubtedly one of the greatest songwriters of his generation, and that says a lot. When you see him on tour, he has so many different songs to choose from to perform. It must be hard to pick just a handful.

Perhaps that's why Dylan likes to switch it up. The legendary performer recently went out for his North American tour, and he's dipping into some deep cuts for the trek. What's not to love about a deep cut from the master, Dylan?

During his show at Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery Amphitheatre in Woodinville, Washington, Dylan performed "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" from 1975's "The Basement Tapes," marking the first time he's played the song live since November 2012, according to Billboard .

During his show in Troutdale, Oregon, Dylan rocked "Baby, Won't You Be My Baby," a song from 2014's compilation "The Bootleg Series Vol. 11: The Basement Tapes Complete," marking the first time he's ever played the song live, according to Setlist.fm .

Bob Dylan was an influencer before the term was even around. He continues to break ground, and seeing him debut new songs live even now just shows his talent.
