“Abandoned Love” is a song written by Bob Dylan, recorded in 1975 but not released until 1985, on his compilation album Biograph. It was originally recorded for inclusion on his 1976 album Desire, but was dropped in favor of Joey. Abandoned Love was written during Dylan’s breakup with his then-wife Sara Lownds. Only one live performance of this song is known of, at the “Other End” on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village on July 3 1975, during a show with Ramblin’ Jack Elliott. Paul Cable, in his book Bob Dylan: His Unreleased Recordings (New York: Schirmer Books, 1980), described this live version of the song as “Beautiful, eerie, easily as good as Blonde on Blonde lyrics and a tune that is unusual and perfect.”
