Update, with some edits and additions:
1. All Along the Watchtower, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix. Dylan thought this was better than his own.
2. LA Woman, Jim Morrison, The Doors.
3. Henry, John Dawson, New Riders of the Purple Sage. Baer Charlton suggested "Riders", Henry is really a driving song. 8-)
4. Ride of the Valkyries, Richard Wagner. Baer suggested Vogner, what better, though somewhat cliched, because of "Apocalypse Now".
5. Little Wing, Jimi Hendrix. I like his version, Eric Clapton has covered it, but my favorite is an instrumental cover by Stevie Ray Vaughan
6. Pipeline, The Chantays
7. Back in the USSR, The Beatles, suggested by Kim Hoffmann
8. Fire on the Mountain, Toy Caldwell (?), The Marshall Tucker Band.
9. Radar Love, George Kooymans/Barry Hay, Golden Earring.
10. East West, Mike Bloomfield/Nick Gravenites, Paul Butterfield Blues Band. This is a very important piece by a band that influenced the San Francisco sound, including the Grateful Dead, and their "long" versions.

18. Benny and the Jets, Taupin/John, Elton John, Suggested by Susan Visser.

27. Who Do You Love, Bo Diddley
