Re: original or remake
I watched a little of Neils Version and he is good with his distinct guitar sound but it is just a similar copy to Jimi Hendrix who transformed the song to rock.
Bob's is my fav but Jimi makes it explode.
I actually wrote a version of this one but never recorded it. It's ofcourse acoustic but rename cobol blues, after spending 12 hours writting a cobol program I was listening to Rattle and hum by U2 who also do a great rock version, Bono inspired me do the re-write.
Perhaps I will record it someday.
