Whoa, check this out: the lyrics are different! Not uncommon for artists (especially Dylan) to be creative/sloppy with the melody or vocal phrasings when playing live but you wouldn't expect Mr. Nobel Prize to change the words just for PBS (especially since he doesn't take out 'shit', 'ass' and 'n*****''). Apparently the song, which had just been recorded, was felt to have the potential for a defamation lawsuit, so Dylan was cagey upon the release of this as a single. Interesting curio from arguably Dylan's peak as a live performer. (The sound here is not optimal but that's not why you're watching this, so don't sweat it)
