John Sebastian Version
John Sebastian's version of the song, under the title "Well, Well, Well," is the opening selection on his 1971 album The Four of Us (Reprise catalog no. MS 2041), and was also issued as a 45 RPM single (Reprise 1050). Sebastian's arrangement, also credited to Joshua White, is lyrically similar to Dylan's, but features an up-tempo blues-rock approach with no slide guitar. The musicians on this version, which was produced by Paul A. Rothchild, include Sebastian (guitar and vocal), Paul Harris (keyboards), Greg Reeves (bass), and Dallas Taylor (percussion).
With a running time of 2:20, "Well, Well, Well" is one-fifth as long as the rendition of the song Led Zeppelin would record three years later.

“Well, I know you haven’t had much experience writing and none at all in pictures. But I’ve heard about you. It all sounded like you’re just the man I wanted for a story about the Navy. I don’t want a story just about ships and planes. I want a story about the officers.... I want this story from a pen dipped in salt water not dry martinis. Do you know what I mean?”
—Frank Fenton, William Wister Haines, co-scenarist, and John Ford. John Dodge (Ward Bond)
“Exercise is the yuppie version of bulimia.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
