Notes:

These are the songs used on M&A DVD movie/extras and unavailable on the official audio soundtrack. They are listed here in the original sequence in which they appear in the film. Songs from Time Out Of Mind, M&A audio soundtrack and Bootleg Series (e.g. He was A Friend of Mine and Blind Willie McTell) are not included.

* Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall performed by The Golden Gate Strings is listed on credits at this point but not located.

**I Put A Spell On You by Screamin Jay Hawkins is listed on credits at this point but not located. This is probably the "Lord, It's Hot In Here" track.

Dirt road Blues is the first alternate performance since 1997's Time Out Of Mind album.


All songs have been extracted from the DVD with DVD Audio Extractor at 4410 Hz Stereo 16 bit. Since the songs are not part of a continuous recording, each wav was flaced lvl 8 sector aligned individually so that no samples are moved over to next track. A click on track 2 created due to SBE fixing has been removed. Dialogue has been removed in all cases except for the first version of "Lord, It's Hot In Here". Noticeable volume dropouts remain where the dialogue was...similar to the all familiar effect when a concert taper covers a mic! When possible, seamless amplification of the parts that previously contained dialogue areas was applied. Some tracks however, present abrupt clipped endings or changes on source. "If You See Her Say Hello" for instance, was all over the place. All songs featuring as background in the film, required amplification as they were barely audible. This was done with automatically calculated amplification to avoid clippings. The Times They Are A-Changin' used as background at end of "Lord, It's Hot In Here" was boosted minimally but still presents considerable hiss.

Repeated fragments of recurrent themes on the movie are not included- the more complete representative ones are included instead. "Angelina" instrumental used during the final scene for instance, is not included as the same and more complete take is used on the running credits immediately after. Same for the instrumental used during Jack Fate’s release from prison which seems to be most complete.

This is a fan compilation for fans. Do not sell. Purchase the movie and audio soundtrack- both are great.

From http://www.answers.com/topic/masked-and-anonymous:

Unreleased recordings
From 1999 to 2002, Dylan's touring band was joined by veteran guitarist Charlie Sexton. Already
an accomplished unit, the band's new configuration was arguably Dylan's best touring group since
1974, when Dylan played a brief two-month American tour with The Band. Highlighted by the
interplay of Sexton and guitarist Larry Campbell, the group also featured Dylan's longtime
bassist Tony Garnier, as well as two drummers: David Kemper (who left the band in late 2001) and
George Receli (who was Kemper's replacement). Dylan began filming Masked & Anonymous soon after
Receli's arrival.
Masked & Anonymous marked the first (and to date, only) release of "live" material from this
unit. According to director Larry Charles, who recorded an interview for the film's DVD release,
20 or more songs were recorded for the film, with Charles telling Dylan he could play anything he wanted.
For the most part, the songs were recorded at Stage 6, Ray-Art Studios, Canoga Park, California,
on July 18, 2002. Though all were presumably filmed, only a handful were used.

The following songs were featured in the film, with unedited versions included in the soundtrack
release: "Down In The Flood" (a song from The Basement Tapes), "Dixie" (traditional), "Diamond
Joe" (traditional), and "Cold Irons Bound" (a song from Time Out Of Mind).

The following songs were used for the film, but were never issued on CD: "Drifter's Escape" (a
song from John Wesley Harding), "I'll Remember You" (a song from Empire Burlesque), "Blowin' In
The Wind" (from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan), and "Amazing Grace" (traditional). Of these songs,
only "I'll Remember You" was featured unedited and uninterrupted in the film.

As mentioned, "Standing In The Doorway" (another song from Time Out Of Mind) was featured as an
alternate scene on the DVD. Unfortunately, it's interrupted by a few cut-aways to other
characters in the film.

"Knockin' On Heaven's Door" (a song Dylan first recorded for Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid) was
also filmed, but only a brief portion appears in the DVD's supplemental material.

A new 'fiddle' arrangement of "If You See Her, Say Hello" (from Blood On The Tracks) was also
filmed, but it only appears as background music during the DVD's supplemental material.

"Watching The River Flow" (a song dating from 1971, when it was released as a single), "Not Dark
Yet" and "Dirt Road Blues" (both from Time Out Of Mind) were also filmed, but either dropped from
the film or relegated to the background.

Larry Charles mentions "All Along The Watchtower" (a song from John Wesley Harding) during his
interview on the DVD, but no portion has ever been released.

***As mentioned, a new recording of "Blowin' In The Wind" was used for the film. This is heard over the film's final shots and end credits. Unlike the other performances used in the film, this was
a concert performance recorded at Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, Santa Cruz, California, on March
16, 2000 (when David Kemper was still with the band). This performance was previously found on
the limited edition bonus CD single given away with The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2 in the United
Kingdom, and it was also featured on a promo CD single Live & Rare 2. Approximately 45 seconds of the harmonica solo was cut for the film while the previous CD releases feature the performance
unedited.
