The Rolling Stones (which names themselves after this song) also have an innovative video for their cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziRR5h3b4YU It's 183,000 photographs, morphed into each other.

Citation needed. The Rolling Stones started in '62. Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" is from '65. Wikipedia attribute the band's name to the Muddy Waters song, "Rollin' Stone".

I didn't say Dylan's version of the song was original, just that the Rolling Stones are named after it.

Sure. Here are two, from the wikipedia article you just read:

- Jagger, Mick; Richards, Keith; Watts, Charlie; Wood, Ronnie (2003). According to the Rolling Stones. San Francisco, California: Chronicle Books. ISBN 9780811840606. p42

It looks like there are many 1-second long .flv (Flash Video) files for each channel. This is second 37 on channel 3: http://content.interlude.fm/video/dylanLive/rc2/ch3/c3s37.fl... Here's second 125 on channel 6: http://content.interlude.fm/video/dylanLive/rc2/ch6/c6s125.f... and so forth. You can run this in your terminal to download all of the files for a given channel: curl -O http://content.interlude.fm/video/dy…

I wonder why they gave audio tracks to all those chunks when they could instead be smaller video-only files. Just stream/buffer/sync the full audio track independently.

Like A Rolling Stone is most definitely an original Bob Dylan song. Dylan may have been inspired by Muddy Waters at best.
