So, my first version of this was The Jeff Beck Group album "Truth". I guess next was the Dead. Then Nazareth. I think it was a Tim Hardin song amirite? I want to compile a disc with all the different versions I can find.
 
I think the first version i heard was the one from the first Dead album but I only associate it now with live Dead, hecvk I think it was in darn near every setlist :embarrassed:

Same here. The next versions I heard were from a variety of folky singers.
This version has Robert Plant singing a verse or two. My favorite version is the Dead version from Ithaca that DdBob posted since I was there.
 
Covers
In early 1964 a folk band called The Goldebriars released a cover of Come Walk Me Out In The Morning Dew.

Contemporaneous with the Grateful Dead's cover, "Morning Dew" was recorded by Los Angeles-based, psychedelic rock band The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band on their 1967 album Part One. Titled as "Will You Walk With Me", this cover is credited both to Dobson and to the band's guitarist, Danny Harris.
