There's "The Massacree Revisited," a twenty-ninth anniversary version in which the original song is speculated to have filled the famous eighteen-and-a-half-minute gap in the Nixon tapes
I heard Arlo Guthrie do that version, or one very like it, live, sometime round 1990 or 1991, I think. He said something about how he'd been refusing to sing the song for years and years; my father, who doesn't get these things, thought it was rude of him to have not sung it when requested.
It was a good rendition, and the new bits were very appropriate, although I'd suppose if one were talking recordings, rather than live, since I'd always pick the one that's there in the moment, that if I had to make a choice I'd pick the original 1967 version I grew up with.
