What is your favorite version of All Along the Watchtower?

Written by Bob Dylan

Dylan's is well, Dylan's. To my mind this was the best Hendrix ever. Richie I love. But my personal favorite is the one most have never heard. Brewer and Shipley nailed this tune with just two acoustic guitars and perfect harmony. Weeds album http://brewerandshipley.com/weeds.html

Dylan - Song writer
Hendrix
Richie Havens
Brewer & Shipley
Neil Young
U2
Dave Matthews Band

I know there are lots of other covers but these are the ones I know.

1. Hendrix is just amazing

[NewHampster]

3. He was just plain amazing

Even the singing.

[IronLionZion]

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

2. Grateful Dead with Bob Dylan

[punpirate]

4. I'd say, overall, I like...

Michael Hedge's version the best, but I'd give the Hendrix cover the nod on just vocals....

[SilasSoule]

6. Definitely Dave Matthews Band with Carlos Santana

on lead. Simply Awesome.

[EstimatedProphet]

8. The Dead, Memphis '95

They were HOT that night!

[Old and In the Way]

9. The Dead did Dylan, well.

"Postcards of the Hanging" is one of the Deads's best....100% Dylan tunes.

[xxqqqzme]

13. Ah yes, another

Dead Head & Xcellent cover - saw Dylan 'n the Dead when they toured.

BTW - I printed your 'eye' & WH & glued it to a magnet. It is now prominently featured on the fridge

16. I think Hendrix is the definitive version...

...Electric Ladyland LP......most requested song on the jukebox at High on Rose tavern in Lexington, KY, late 70s/early 80s.

I know ive heard the Dylan version & think Ive heard the & Ritchie Havens version....not famliary with the others...(Neil Young?)....

One of my favorite songs.

19. Hendrix blows them all away.

With his fantastic version.

20. I voted for Hendrix but loved Dylan's.

It was great to hear Dylan's version in "American Beauty." That scene with Spacey lifting weights ("wailing on his pecs) while sassing Benning is one of the all time great movie scenes to my mind.
