I remember hearing the original studio recording for the first time in 1967, when I was seventeen.

PS2: This is the studio version played at the end of season three, episode six of "After Life" (Netflix):

I love the French horns and the muted trumpet in this version.

Well, Steve, you and I may disagree on some things, but I'm 100% with you on this one. My father felt the same way, and he was born in the 1930's. Big Yellow Taxi and Raised on Robbery were two of my other favorites.

Different song, but here are three legends of the 1960's - Joni Mitchell, Mary Travers, and Cass Elliot, doing an unpolished and obviously unrehearsed version of "I Shall Be Released"

And here's Joni rocking Raised on Robbery with Tom Scott and the LA Express, back in 1974

I was at the Rolling Thunder Revue in Harvard Square. My old stomping grounds. I had friends that worked at the theater and about 15 of us got seats. There were some great shows at the old Harvard Square theater. Then they broke it up to being a multi-screen venue. Never the same again. <sigh>
