Highway 61 Recisited is the best Dylan album too. It’s like the White Album of Dylan albums.

yeah, it's great
but i think it's jagger's voice that puts that version slightly over the other one for me. funny thing he introduces it by saying that dylan "wrote it for us". really? lol. hmmm... anyway, it’s kinda anthemic, and the harmonica at the end sounds great. can’t explain.
but anyway great song either way. hendrix has a couple of live versions too and the winterland one is great (this is a new-rehash posthumous album looks like).
