All Along the Watchtower
Let's face it this awesome song has been covered by more artists and bands than you can shake a stick at. Are you a stickler for the original? Does any particular one of the covers tickle your fancy? Do you not particularly like the song? Let's hear your opinions.
My personal fave is the Dave Matthews version. |
Hendrix all the way - I believe that's the version that made it popular in the first place.

I think Hendrix definitely defines that song. Dylan wrote it, but Hendrix re-wrote it. It's a totally different song....
|
Bob Dylan's original version is painful to listen to after hearing Hendrix.
|
i've heard a lot of versions of this song, some were good, others weren't so great - but nobody can ever compare to Jimi
|
Yeah, I'm a stickler for the original.
|
The dead did a good version as well as phish but lets face the truth you cant touch Hendrix.
|
I have a version done by Howie Day in a club, just him and his guitar. Sounds awesome.
|
Dave Mason's version is pretty good, also.
|
The best watchtower moment for me is the Hendrix on the soundtrack of the movie 'Withnail and I' - with Withnail driving on the motorway into London, smashed on Scotch, swerving all over the road.
You'd have to see the movie to appreciate it. |
Hendrix all the way, but Dylan is the genius for writing it to begin with.
|
definitely Hendrix
|
Hendrix... how can you improve on perfection?
|
i think its got to be hendrix his version of it is just perfect :)
|
Dave Matthews' version still gives me shivers.
It has my vote. Although, i once thought that nothing would ever beat the guitar "wah" in the Hendrix version! |
I like the original
|
take a listen to the Dave Matthews version from "Live at Folsom Field"
I think Dave has this one all the way... although....Dylan DID write it in the first place |
All Your Watchtower Are Belong to Jimi. :)
I haven't heard this Dave Matthew cover though...I shall have to look into it. |
I like Dylan's over Hendrix's.
