Hi,
 
ok ok ok ... relax ... how many versions do you know, or have heard?
 
Donovan
Brian Auger and Julie Driscoll
The Masked Marauders
Mike Bloomfield/Al Kooper
Vanilla Fudge
 
Any one else? Would like to find Richard Thompson's version, as I hear there is one.

My sister an I did it when I was 14 and she was 16.

The Donovan version is one of my fave tunes.  Especially the early guitar work.

The Donovan version is one of my fave tunes.  Especially the early guitar work.

I don't know (right now), if my favorite one is Vanilla Fudge's or the Mike Bloomfield's version ... I think  VF's is more interesting and theatrical if I remember correctly, and the Masked Marauders version is hilarious ... as it is a sendup to Bob Dylan, if I remember correctly. Haven't played that in ages and CD is not available, that I am aware of.

I saw Richard Thompson perform Season of the Witch in the early 80's. He is soooo good, at the time he was the opening act for Aussie band Crowded House. Great show, 20 feet from the stage in a nice venue.

Thanks for that link, James. I'd not heard that before, very nice.
 
Maybe it's just nostalgia, but the Vanilla Fudge version remains my favorite. 

that i've heard, luna (dean wareham's outfit) did a version for the "i shot andy warhol" soundtrack, and the (marshmallow) overcoat have also done a version
there's a big list at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Season_of_the_Witch_%28song%29

This one's decent, but it would have been better if they'd had more guitars.

I had no idea that Vanilla Fudge still exists, and are still out there doin' it. Senior citizens now, but they still sound pretty darn good. No-frills straight-up rock 'n roll.
