"Tears of Rage" is a song written by Bob Dylan and Richard Manuel of The Band, the former writing the lyrics and the melody being provided by the latter.

It was first recorded in rehearsal sessions at The Band's residence Big Pink during 1967, with Bob Dylan on lead vocal. However this recording and those from the rest of the sessions were not released for eight years, although Dylan's version had been bootlegged meantime.

The first official release was of an entirely different take featuring just The Band, recorded for and included on their 1968 debut album "Music From Big Pink". This recording slowed the track considerably and accentuated the emotional pain recounted in the lyric. This very lengthy and slow number was a curious choice of opening track for the album, calculated to buck standard sequencing convention.

The Bob Dylan-sung version emerged officially in 1975 on The Basement Tapes.
