Following ABB’s covers thread.., on 10:34 - Mar 31 by StokieBlue
Maybe controversial but I think most people think of the Hendrix version as more famous.

And then Dylan liked the Hendrix version so much he followed Jimi's pattern when playing it live later on:
I was trying to find a YouTube clip from the 'Before The Flood' album but don't seem to be able to track down a discreet one, needs Robbie Robertson to fully demonstrate the theory. The guitarist is OK but Dylan is obviously in one of his moods at Woodstock '94. Listen to 'Murder Most Foul' for his redemption.
[edit] This one is a bit better, recording is terrible but Dylan looks like he wants to be there - Brixton will be happy:

Surprised nobody's posted this yet:
A couple of years ago I was taking a leak in the bog of a small hall where Jeff Pritchard, the session musician who supplied the organ riff on that, came in and said 'oi, this is my changing room, you know'. All I could say was 'good gig' to which he said 'thank you'.
I was annoyed in a pub quiz when the question was "who recorded the original of Handbags & Gladrags" & they said "Rod Stewart" when I knew it was Chris Farlowe.
Elvis Presley's first hit was a song he stole from Arthur Crudup. Presley's release even had his name 'Presley' as composer and, to add insult to injury, when Crudup re-released the song a few years later, that version, too, had Presley's name as composer.
Despite amassing a huge fortune Presley never paid Crudup his dues as composer of the song.
