Song History
"Gotta Travel On" has its origin in British folk music. It was adapted by Paul Clayton and recorded in 1958 by Billy Grammer, then released as a single a year later and it sold over a million copies and launched Grammer's career. It was most famously covered by Bob Dylan for his 1970 album Self Portrait.

It has only been played once and it closed a Dave solo show. Neil Young sat in as a guest for the performance at the 25th Anniversary Bridge Gala in San Francisco on 10.14.11. Perhaps not coincidentally, Grammer had passed away just two months earlier at the age of 85.

As of early 2012, no recording of the performance is in circulation.
