Ever hear “George Jackson” on radio?

Dylan’s 1971 song about this prisoner peaked in the charts in the US at #33 and was on them for about 7 weeks. Two versions were released, a solo acoustic and a longer “big band” version with drums, steel guitar, backing vocals, and Leon Russel on piano and bass.

Did you ever hear this song on the radio in 1971? What city were you in? Which of the two versions did you hear?
