Hello Ted! Fiveash! Debbie! Ah, I noticed you were moving to the afternoons. It's actually an easier time to catch you at this time. Hopefully will be for others as well. | |

the Replacements do a drunken version called, "Like a Rolling Pin" | |

The question arises, who was the 1st recording artist to cover a Bob Dylan song? | |

Not sure. |

Great O.V. Wright version--this one has "Mountain exist" as the 2nd stanza. Seems like every artist selects which order to sing the 2nd and 3rd stanzas, I've heard several as well as flipped around. Suppose it depends what kind of emphasis you want to give the song at the end. Either anti-war "..that too many people have died", or an activist bent "..and pretend that he just doesn't see". | |

First Bob Dylan cover? Wow, that was probably too long ago, in too obscure of a club for anyone to know with any certainty. Now IIRC, the first cover of "Blowin' In The Wind" on the other hand, was it's very first public performance. Dylan apparently showed another guy how to play it and gave a lyric sheet--I guess Bob just thought it was too powerful a song to premiere himself or something. | |

"Blowin in the Wind" was most likely the song. |

Matt from Springfield:
"Dylan originally wrote and performed a two-verse version of the song; its first public performance, at Gerde's Folk City on April 16, 1962, was recorded and circulates among Dylan collectors. Shortly after this performance, he added the middle verse to the song." Maybe that story I heard was the first time with the complete verses being performed. | |

Matt from Springfield:
Also "Some published versions of the lyrics reverse the order of the second and third verses, apparently because Dylan simply appended the middle verse to his original manuscript, rather than writing out a new copy with the verses in proper order." That's a reason for the lack of a definitive order. Wow, didn't know Fairport C. performed "Million Dollar Bash"! Gives it almost a bluegrass feel. | |

I'll have to remember "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?" if I ever get the trivia question: "Name ANOTHER Bob Dylan song Jimi Hendrix has played." | |

No prob, Ted. I'm always a volunteer researcher whenever I'm on the boards! | |

@Tom: That's the one everyone knows, and most fans know that Dylan wrote it. But, if challenged to come up with *another* Hendrix song that Dylan wrote..."Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window" is one! | |

Matt from Springfield:
Does the arrangement of this Luxuria remind anyone else of Elvis Costello's "Veronica"? | |
|

Tom:
Like a Rolling Stone was a Dylan song that Hendrix played at the Monterey Pop Festival 1967. | |
|
Thu. 5/24/12 4:31pm
Matt from Springfield:
Thanks Tom, that's an easier title to remember. I oughta listen/watch Hendrix's Monterey performance, it's supposed to be very important in making him famous in the States. | |

Yeah I wish Otis had recorded that too! | |

Hey, I think that announcer at the beginning was BBC veteran Brian Matthew. Talking faster than I've heard him before! A lot of BBC sessions feature his voice. | |

Yeah Van Morrison! No way for him to screw up a cover, as long as he does it in his own style. | |
