Just curious if you and Dave touched base on putting both versions of this classic Bob Dylan song together, Mike? Of course........the key to covering any classic original tune is playing it even better and I believe Jimi certainly achieved this but in this case both versions are basically polar different and near and dear to one's heart on both accounts!!

Nice!! That Hendrix version is pretty ubiquitous, but I had never heard the original Dylan version so it was a treat to dig in! Indeed the 2 versions are very different, and of course Dave knocked it out of the park!

Cheers!

Mike
