Dylan returns to Sony Studios in New York, with Don Was producing, to cut three songs for a possible Elvis Presley tribute CD. The versions of “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” & “Money Honey” are fairly nondescript. However the final vocal take of “Anyway You Want Me (Is How I Will Be)” is really quite spectacular, Dylan delivering one of his most convincing vocals in years.

Let’s start with one of the early interpretations. We are going to Eric Burdon in concert later this summer and he must have been one of the first to cover Bob Dylan’s song.

Eric Burdon Band – A live performance of ‘One More Cup Of Coffee’, Germany, April 21, 1976:

The next pick is White Stripes, a contender for best cover version ever.

The White Stripes (Under Nova Scotian Lights) –  One More Cup Of Coffee:

Bob Dylan: 6 different live versions of “Cat’s In The Well” (video & audio)

bob dylan under the red sky

The cat’s in the well, the wolf is looking down
The cat’s in the well, the wolf is looking down
He got his big bushy tail dragging all over the ground

The cat’s in the well, the gentle lady is asleep
Cat’s in the well, the gentle lady is asleep
She ain’t hearing a thing, the silence is a-stickin’ her deep

I got a request for doing a “x different live versions of Cat’s in the well” over @ out FB page.

It’s a song Dylan has played about 260 times live, peaking years were 1992, 1993, 2003, 2004 & 2007.
