What are your favourite and least favourite covers of All Along The Watchtower?

I like Neil Young's the best... a live version with Booker T and The M.G.'s or some band like that. It rocks so hard.. that song made him one of my favourite musicians.

My least favourites are Lenny Kravitz's and Eric Clapton's that they did together (a cover of Jimi's cover... ) and all I've heard from the Dave Matthews Band sucks ass, and wouldn't you know it, so did their cover.

 

Of course hendrix does a great cover of watchtower, but I also love the grateful dead and keller williams covers of all along the watchtower

But yea dave matthews sucks ass, they do a horrible job.............

 

I like Keller Williams' cover...


What exactly do you mean by "or some band like that"?!?!? Haven't you heard of Booker T. and the MG's??? Born Under A Bad Sign?!?! Stax records?!? Albert King???? Steve Cropper?

Booker T. Jones.



When it comes to the Memphis sound, Booker T. Jones has been delivering smooth, gospel and blues tinged music for over 40 years....

 

That Keller cover is awesome... he really is one of the greatest guitarists of ever.

 

Haha, I've heard of them, but I had forgotten their name.

 

I did not like Dave's version at all, it sucked big D

 

the only one i know of is hendrix so imma leave it at that.

 

hendrix is the best, after dylan heard hendrix sing all along the watchtower, he said something like he was gonna try and play it more like hendrix does hahaha. I still think there is nothin like bob doing it but hendrix is definately second. Keller does do a killer watchtower though.

 

Hendrix cover is my favorite

Dave matthews is my least

they are the only two covers i have heard...but the dave matthews one completly blows!

 

Favorite - Grateful Dead

Least Favorite - Dave Mathews

 

i think the best version is the original one from Dylan..

but u know.. i'm partial.. can't help myself sorry...

 

I really dont care for Dylan's rockish version of All Along The Watch Tower... i prefered the folk version of it.... Jimi did a great job of giving a rock feel to it though

 

You need to listen to more music. haha.

I kind of got tired ot All Along The Watchtower, actually... I liked Dylan and the Band's version at his induction with the rock hall of fame... Hendrix's too.

 

A cover you guys may not be aware of is Affinity, a 70s female led fusion band, be sure to check it out!

 

Jimi and Neil Young of course.
And i've got a live bootleg version of it by Jeff Healy that's wicked..
Recorded at Massey Hall in Toronto I think.

 

I like Jimi's version and Dave's version the best.

 

Some band like that?! What the hell, Chuck...You sadden me.

 

On the contrary of what has been said above, I really liked the one with Dave Matthews, the live one from the Central Park Concert. I also like Neil Young's and Jimi Hendrix's as well.

 

Ahaha... same reaction I had, Teh Kryz

I really like Neil's... It's a three way (no pun intended) between Neil, Keller, and Jimi.

 

I love the Hendrix version the guitar in it is soooooooo awesome
