I really like what the Byrds did with this song, and I was just listening to the origanal Bob Dylan version. All I could think was, "Wow, I don't remember the Byrds version being this long." Geez, Bob, it goes on forever.
both versions are very good .... 'Mr.tamborine man' album with the byrds is also really good but so were all byrds album from 1965-1969 ... the same thing is about all the bob dylan albums but it seems like his later albums are something i can't listen to ... even his late 70's albums but that's just my opinion ...
I like Dylan's version better, but I do like them both. I don't mind that the song is long, it's good.... now if the song were bad AND long then I'd have a problem with it .
I used to perfer Dylan's version, because i didn't like the harmonies of the Byrds. But now the Byrds are probably my favorite band of that era.
