A far more productive session at Muscle Shoals yields three [four] cuts on Saved, including the seemingly improvised opener, “Satisfied Mind,” which is cut in a single rake, as is “Saved” (although according to Wexler this was one of two songs recur on the 15th). “Solid Rock” is cut in three takes, “What Can I Do for You!” in one, although that Muscle Shoals groove is sadly lacking on both.

A Satisfied Mind (Red Hayes/Jack Rhodes) Released on: “Saved” Columbia, 20 June 1980 “Satisfied Mind,” is absolutely magnificent. This is spontaneous Dylan, inspired Dylan, the performing artist at work; you can hear the man’s genius not only in his voice but in the astonishing performance of the back-up singers and in Tim Drummond’s delightful bass playing. Dylan, when the spirit moves him, breathes out great music as easily as another person laughs. ~Paul Williams (Bob Dylan: Performing Artist, Vol 2: The Middle Years 1974-1986) A Satisfied Mind by Bob Dylan on Grooveshark
why are the live versions of the songs THAT much better than the record ?
