History
Hendrix's interpretation of Dylan's song became so definitive that Dylan himself adopted Hendrix's arrangement for his own performances. Features multiple guitar overdubs (at least 12 recorded), creating a wall of sound. Dave Mason contributed acoustic twelve-string guitar. Dylan later said, 'It overwhelmed me, really. He had such talent.'
