I'm pretty partial to the Chocolate Watchband version, but it's just one of those standards that every psych band seemed to cover at the time. What you got?

of the THEM version, with a whole verse dropped.
In other words, WEAK SAUCE.
Actually, I don't hate the CW version, it's
just, might as well listen to THEM.
I say - THEM, Belfast Gypsies, Dylan OG ...
agreed on Them's as #1, but i know i heard a suprisingly cool version not long ago... maybe a female vocal, or at least a higher voice? i recall thinking it was neat. maybe im nutz.
This is going to sound like sacriledge to a lot of folks, but I prefer the vocal on the CW version. Van Morrison's voice bothers me a bit, although I don't know why. Bring on the hate, folls!
Actually my favorite version is the one Dylan plays for Donovan in "Don't Look Back." Classic.
word! Thats were I first fell in love with the song...I actually had a cassette dubbed from the VHS for years in the ride
that anger in van morrison's voice...
You don't really see the THEM version as "rocked up" do you?
I forgot about the Elevators' version - I was kind of
disappointed when I first heard it ... it pales next
to their own original material, IMO.
Surprisingly, the Byrds version of this song is awful.
The live Dylan version on the "Bootleg Series, Volume 4" is excellent.
Really? The guitar is mesmerizing.
I'm well unfamiliar with most of these other versions.
Compared to the original. I guess "full band" version would be more appropriate.
I saw them at American U in 1970 in DC. They did it between Uncle John's Band and Dark Star. It was trancendent. Jerry hit this riff and Phil just looked over at him, like wow dude! I think the stage might have risen like six inches off the ground!
Don't think so. They didn't play Dark Star that show, nor did they play babyblue either. Where were you?
^^^^ DEADHEAD GETS HIS CARD PULLED!! ^^^^
Pulled out my dusty deadbase Jr., from my bootleg days.
Peace
When you get old your memory starts to fail you.
Legal!
I hate the Dead.
I think Dead heads who suggest that the Dead did the best version of any song are...
I think Dead heads who know when and where the Dead this song or that are...
I did see the Dead do a free show at American U about 1970.
They did do Uncle Johns Band.
It was the worse acid trip I ever I took.
They started many hours late.
They played Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers through the PA before the show started.
A girl was dancing naked on stage.
Jerry Garcia balanced cigarettes on her nipples.
They also played Beethoven and maybe Sgt Peppers through the PA.
Saw them again at Autzen Stadium about 1991.
Had backstage passes.
There are many hundreds of people "backstage" at a dead concert.
My favorite memory was a family of hippies momma, poppa, little Sunflower, and little Cedarcoast and their dog, all sitting under the condiment counter at the Stadium hot dog stand.
