Very true...you know, I almost put Watchtower in my little list but I thought that the definitive version really was Hendrix’, which brought all the mysticism you mention out in the song (Dylan’s version was just a touch sparse and flat as he was in that sort of mood at the time recorded that song). Had Dylan recorded that song in 1966 or 1974/75 his original would have been much, much different and more powerful.
If he’d have done it later with Jimi accompanying and tied it in with the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse on “Slow Train Coming” it would be awesome.
Just sayin’.
“the definitive version really was Hendrix”
That is without a doubt the greatest cover version of all time.
