I've never seen DLB and remember reading that Dylan was kind of awful to Donovan in it, but it doesn't quite seem that way in the related clips on youtube.

Price's "Day in the Life" is really impressive to me--I can't think of any other covers of that one (I'm sure there are some), and it's just Price and a piano. When I think of the original recording, it's all the experimental touches and production delights that come to mind. Turns out, it's a pretty good tune as well!

I agree. It's a lovely performance. 

On the other side of the spectrum, I'm fond of this arena rock cover of A Day in the Life:

Regarding Don't Look Back, Dylan does come off a bit pricky. But there's also a bit of playful competitiveness with it. Where as Donovan comes off as a fan boy (even playing a Dylanish tune) and just excited to be in the room with Dylan. I love D.A. Pennebaker so I find the doc essential viewing.

Alan Price tackles "A Day in the Life" on German TV with wiggy visuals. Good on 'im.

So, I go to check out the trailer for O Lucky Man!, and the first minute is Alan Price performing "Poor People" from the film:
