# Talk:Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat

Dylan's site lists the first live performance as 26 February 1966, but a review by Norman Rowe in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, 12 February 1966, suggests that it may have been performed earlier. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 21:43, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
There's also Edwin Howard's review in The Memphis Press-Scimitar, February 11, 1966. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 21:49, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

There is no harmonica on the album version of Leopard Skin Pill-Box Hat, however the personnel section of the article lists Bob Dylan as having played harmonica on it. The only versions of the song that feature harmonica are outtakes from the Blonde on Blonde sessions, but the personnel section notes that it is specifically for the album version so these outtakes should not be considered.

@Harper Reed 20: The Wikipedia policies are that " all material must be attributable to reliable, published sources" and "Articles must not contain any new analysis or synthesis of published material that reaches or implies a conclusion not clearly stated by the sources themselves." See WP:V and WP:OR. As mentioned in my eidt, the Sanders book mentions harmonica. So does Olof Bjorner ([1]). Do you have a reliable source that doesn't show that Dylan played harmonica, or, even better, a source that says he didn't? Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 21:45, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
Sanders's book only states that Dylan played harmonica during take one for the song. As I stated above, this much is true, Dylan did play the harmonica on outtake versions of Leopard Skin Pill-Box Hat. He does not, however, play it on the actual album version, which is what the Wikipedia article is specifying. The version of Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat that made the album is not take one, nor is it from the February 14th sessions that made up the early recordings of Leopard Skin Pill-Box Hat, something that the article already mentions.
