U2 All Along the Watchtower Lovetown Tour

[BlackLink27]

Now this is going to sound strange, but I very much enjoy Dave Matthews' version. It's very arguably the best, but it does have the most emphasis and the best timing.

[pureintellectual]

the Edge has yet to impress me. i've never heard anything better than mediocre from him

[BlackLink27]

@pureintellectual Dude, you're expecting amazing from good.

[locopresidente]

yes in the 80 ies he weared long hair.....:)

[humbertosultan]

the edge?? ,, with hair ?? ಠ_ಠ

[ILL69YourFamily]

Bob Dylan or GTFO.

[MrAdamthebeast]

i like u2's version best, no question

[nethour]

bono's voice sounds soooooo

sexy i don't know

[eldemasiado]

WOW! THE EDGE PLAYS SOLO!!! :)

Killer Stratocaster's sound!

[ham123see]

the edge looks like stevie vaughn in this vid

[zypick]

Which video inserts are these ? Really interested. Especially when that bloke climbes up a tank :O

[dingopinguino]

THE BEST VERSION EVER!!!!!

[BestMattBeast]

If bob dylan could sing then I would say his is the best. (and I'm not hating on him, he's great but he doesn't have the best voice ever)

[Hawkeyes907]

DMB version is also incredible

[rodquinton]

Bob Dylan is a genius

[davec3487]

Who is that retard at 1:17? WTF are you talking about?

[AZARTI5]

its fact edge is nowawhere close to hendrix playing but com'n bono sang it perfectly!

[colonelparker007]

U2 plays this as good as anyone. I love all versions too.

[XXXTheFlyXXX]

OMF Demon!!!!!!

what a freakin voice!!!!!

bono what happen since that?

[GWBullcrap]

i love U2 and respect them but Jimi just ownes this song. kudos to bob dylon

[love10719]

Cracking up on the venom people have for this- relax, they are just trying something new. And I can't take my eyes off of the Edge's hair!

[hattogfrakk]

Very much!!

[aldrickbarber35]

Bono's got an amazing voice! Just me opinion

[thedeadliest]

I prefer the hendrix one

[rocknotpop1990]

@thedeadliest

i think everyone does

[bellesidao]

...Independente de qual versão é melhor ...

este som vindo do u2 é formidável.

vejam oque eles fazem quando chegam em 1:58 até 2:06 é incrível é dessa inovação do u2 que me agrada ...

É uma pena eles não fazerem isso até hoje....

Ah!!! vale lembrar que isso não é montagem é uma versão "oficial do u2"

[fedrx19]

damn bad ass!! good songs from U2

[fedrx19]

damn bad ass!! good songs from U2

[fedrx19]

@fedrx19 i mean played by

[evan437]

Wow, this is terrible in comparison to Bob Dylan and Jimi Henrix's versions.

[wolfennyc]

@evan437 Wow,you're an asshole...you don't what the fuck you're talking about

STFU and get the shit out of your ears..you wouldn't know what a good version of this song was

[sistermadlyus]

great version

[clmsntigr113]

Of course the Jimi Henrdrix version is the best, I mean he is arguably the best guitarist of all time but give U2 some kudos for trying to play this song and doing a pretty dag gum good job!

[Paint4U2]

@clmsntigr113 No one can make a cover better from the original,but it's possible to say that U2 made it almost good,not better of course

[BonoWeCanBeOne]

@clmsntigr113 I don't think so man. Jimmy was a guitar player not a singer and Bono is without a doubt the greatest rock singer of all time. So the vocals are way better. The Edge my friends gives jimmy a run for his money as greatest guitarest of all time. He can solo just as well as anyone including jimmy plus he has the best sound and can come up with melodies like streets and pride. I pick Edge

[Kallekulingftw]

@clmsntigr113

I'd say that Bob Dylans version is the best, but maybe unfair since its also the original.

[MegaEoinC]

@clmsntigr113 no bob dylans is the best

[extreme67]

U2 wrote "Miami"

[2ctrain]

No one will ever top the Jimmie Hendrix version

[joel99268]

@2ctrain bob dylan?

[2ctrain]

no way, bob Dylan's version doesn't have the guitar solo

[osheal]

this is really a great version of the song...

but hendrix pips them as he was playing the guitar as well as singing...

[BonoWeCanBeOne]

@osheal The Edge is playing guitar and singing and so is Bono

[moleskie14]

dave matthews has the best cover of this song

[silentstrelok]

Screw you! Nobody has done it better than JIMI HENDRIX!!!!!!!!!! Bob Dylan actually admit this.  JIMI HENDRIX FOREVER!!!!!!

[samfalco8]

totally agree

[uggla03]

I remember watching this when it was first broadcast.

they must be a full lovetown proshot.

we need one so bad.

[KristinaBrooker]

Rock and Roll the meaning:

[Vlaco84]

How on earth can people call this terrible? Fucking amazing vocals and great drums by Larry.

[johnnymind]

another song u2 ruined for me, first the beatles now jimmi

[joel99268]

@johnnymind jimmy didnt write this song nor was the first to perform it dumbass bob dylan did.

[marq25393]

awesome song, every artist that has played it has a different and unique interpretation all of them are great

Cheers

[herhiddensmile]

from 3:10 to 3:19

love love love BONO !!!

<3<3<3 U2!!!

[mkbor]

the solo is really great!

[blulicious2]

I would love to see Edge, Eric Clapton, BB King, and Alex from Rush get together and work on a project. Maybe throw in The Boss and Jimmy Page for good measure.

[woteva1234]

I think they were paying homage to Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix not trying to cover them or be better, U2 are a good band in their own right

[kingkull0423]

The Edge sounds a little like Clapton @ 1:32

[pauligeti]

por algo no me gusta u2 aca quedo en evidencia...la bateria lo peor...monotonia absoluta....mitch mitchell...GENIO¡¡

[DarkAcrobat]

@pauligeti tu quedas en evidencia , porque tienes el gusto en el culo, mamoncete.

[pauligeti]

@DarkAcrobat Chupame el orto .. Solo digo q a U2 no le da el cuero para hacer lo que hacia Hendrix.. son otra clase de musicos.. ese baterista no esta iluminado por el resplandor sagrado..como lo estaba Mitch Mitchell. :)

[xSsj3Sasukex]

Oh My God this is terrible

[MetaRiku]

Bob Dylan wrote it, Jimi Hendrix perfected it, U2 ruined it.

[luthander]

lot of haters here. U2 make great music and is famous as a result. This cover version kicks as and is a great example of how awesome they are period

[HarryPowell7]

Hendrix....you are so , so , missed ....

[dopiandgaytoni]

Hey HarryPotter0....go fuck yourself

[the16bitgamer150]

ugh, sorry your all right. im dumb. but i like jimis better.

[Sytze112]

Really beautiful! I'd love to see more of this performance. This version of ''all along the watchtower'' rocks!

[robbluesman]

no soul man u2 are just thrashers

[emgrocks92]

that was a very uneducated comment

[robbluesman]

truth hurts eh???

[MultiParasite]

Sais?

[dopiandgaytoni]

Not bad,not bad at all

[Bluezking]

Sounds just likeU2 .Only thing is that its a cover version.

Coool.

[whitesado]

como molan las greñas de the edge:D

por cierto,gran video!;)

[missxxxlaura]

man this version is so cool

[harleygirlu22]

Larry is kickin' ass in this video. he's teaching how to play drums. go go go.

[cmbras]

lol

[buzzkil27]

I think Bono is a dish.

He makes me touch myself

[carnumar]

you're sick

[thebandit70]

hearing U2 cover this song just further fill my deep hatred for this band

Plainly i think U2 suck ass and they shouldnt had made such a great song by a guitar god sound like shit. but thts my opinion

[MKMUSH]

your opinion sucks ass

[buzzkil27]

you would love to suck Bono's ass

[scudsy2]

Guitar God?

You mean Jimi Henrix???You know he didn't write this song???

And if you listin to it,it actually sounds more like Bob Dylan's orginal,so you can't really say they're covering Hendrix.

[tommywm24]

Fail...It's a Bob Dylan song!

[the16bitgamer150]

uh no, its a jimi hendrix song

[tommywm24]

Yeah keep thinking that...you're only making a fool of yourself!

[Hype1745]

umm no itss really by bob dylan

[hellaawsm666]

Yup Dylan original =)

[ElPadrone89]

LOL. Learn your Dylan

[emgrocks92]

fucking retard its dylan

[emgrocks92]

sorry, but i dont quite thing bod dylan was a guitar god. and just so you know, the edge definitely qualifies as a guitar god

[knoxrox167]

dylan isnt known as a guitar god. and i dont think he wanted to be one.

he was of the most influential songwriters, and in my opinion the best songwriter, and this video proves my point. there will never be another song like Hurricane or Like a Rolling Stone

[emgrocks92]

you are absolutely correct sir

[buzkill27]

Please ignore my post below.

I have thought about it more and have decided I am a cock jockey who loves it up my butt.

Sorry for any confusion.

[buzkill27]

I want Bono to give me buttsex

[kazangaz]

brilliant! luv it.xxxxxx

[buzzkill27]

This is a fantastic cover...one of the best anyone who doesn't believe that should get the shit out of their ears

[burberrybassist2]

Yes I agree. The Edge is such a better guitarist than Jimi Hendrix. And Bono is at least a million times better than Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Brian Ferry and anyone else who has ever covered this song!!! And if you believe that then you need to get all the shit out of your brain.

[buzzkill27]

no said that asshole...so yeah,get the shit out of your ears

[Mofomen]

great Dylan Song, Regards from Switzerland

[Nekkks]

so cooooooooooooool!!!!!!!

[tomvar53]

People are so rude on youtube because they remain anonymous and don't have to face people they insult. They'd probably kicked the crap kicked out of them.

[alunshake]

ah bless jolangli is only 16 it means he wasn't alive when R&H came out.

[nomad434]

lol who the hell thumbed this comment ? just read this sentence "They'd probably kicked the crap kicked out of them."

[jolangli]

i've had enough of this shit. all of you who like this crap can drown in your own misery.

Adios

[buzzkill27]

jolangijerkoff: go take a long walk off a short pier,fucknut...who gives a shit what you fucking think....who the fuck are you anyway...some dumb jerkoff who thinks his shit opinions matter

[jpb6129]

whos the kid frm texas?

[sjakiesjaak3]

i think it sounds great..

[TwoArmsTV]

NOTHING compered to Jimi Handrix

[Hendrix624]

Haha ! Hendrix own them...

[jessicaanimal]

i dont understand how anyone kan lyk this band...lyk thy suck...ther for lyk old ladies that dont kare for art..just a nice song while thy drink ther tea nd knit i nice pair of socks

[loserella55]

At least U2 knows how to use the English language, jessicaanimal. If you don't like the music, don't listen to it, and don't insult it. Especially don't insult it when no one can understand a single word you type.

[wildmonkeyuy]

this my favorite version

[Edgix]

Lolrofl. You're hilarious, seriously. xD And yeah, I spelled it wrong. So?

[Edgix]

These guys ruined a classic... Bob Dillan's was better, hands down.

[buzzkill27]

Go fuck yourself....you don't know your head from your ass...so you wouldn't know what a classic was

[Edgix]

buzzkill27: YOU NEED TO CHILL THE FUCK OUT. Just because you believe this version of the song to be best, doesn't mean that everyone thinks the same. Grow up a little, please.

[buzzkill27]

Edgix: YOU NEED TO SHUT THE FUCK UP. Just because you felt the need to post your shit opinions about this version of the song doesn't mean anybody else gives a shit what you think...stick to the Bob Dylan message board next time,OK?.... and learn how to spell...it's "DYLAN" not DILLAN

COMPRENDE ASSWIPE? and grow up a little,please

[burberrybassist2]

Agreed, but you can't tell a U2 fan that as they are worse than KISS fans.

[hemsworthinc23]

i luv the intro with the drums!

[hemsworthinc23]

i luv this rattle and hum´s edge with long hair and cowboy hat!

[dakotahplaysguitar]

yeah, but Bono can dance!

[dakotahplaysguitar]

JUST PUMPS YOU UP!!!!!!!!!!!

BOB's is still my favorite

[fingletoad]

excellent! thank you.

[LinkBulletBill]

I still prefer Jimi Hendrix's version first, Bob Dylan's second and U2's third, because hell Jimi Hendrix rocks!!! his solo is incredible..

[YegorNikolaev]

My head is burning! 1:55 - !!!

[BenPrime53]

What a shit version. Crap guitar playing and even worse singing.

[cmbras]

that's a point of view...

[buzzkill27]

Brilliant version...one of the best ever People who don't like this version are biased assholes who don't like U2 because they are the biggest band in the world - same 4 members since they started

[jolangli]

you don't become the biggest band in the world for still having the same members since the beginning.. U2 is the most boringand untalented bunch of wannabes that have ever walked this earth.. The lead guitarist ( Aka the Edge, because he's sucks so bad that he's on the edge to be qualified ti be the worst guitarist ever)can't even play a descent solo.. he plays a few notes and let's the delay to the rest... how cant that be great? they don't even have songs you ca qualify as top class!

[RattleAndHum1988]

They must be doing something right if they're one of the biggest bands on Earth. And why is having the same original members a bad thing? Is kicking out members or having members leave for a solo career cool or something? I think it's pretty stupid when a band breaks up or gets new members. Then all the washed up original members that realized they shouldn't have left, come together for a shit reunion tour. You're probably just some douche bag fag who likes death metal or some gay shit.

[jolangli]

i like a thing called music;-p. U know. where things have evolved from talent, like alot of van halen stuff, and guns, clapton and zeppelin. And U2 represent the fact that some labels atcually like to produce shit...

[RattleAndHum1988]

I really don't know what your post had to do with mine. It was just kind of dumb. By the way how's that Guns album Chinese Democracy coming along? I heard that after about 14 years they're finally releasing it! That's awesome! Faggot. If you don't like U2 why do you keep coming to this page? Fuck off.

[jolangli]

i sometimes need to be amused about the suckiness of these big piles of crap. And with guns and roses I'm sorry for the way i put it. I mean guns'n roses with Slash, use your illusion and apetite for destruction. u know.

btw. U2 ain't a rock band. A rock band knows how to blow the roof of with a guitar solo and incredible vocals. which your favorite band doesn't have any of. only effect, delay boring piece of shit wannabe stuff.

[RattleAndHum1988]

What makes them wannabes? If you say that because they're doing a cover, does that make Hendrix a wannabe for doing a Dylan song too? Their version doesn't copy anyone elses. It's their own style. It sounds like U2. They don't try to blow the roof off with a guitar solo. That's not what they're about. Just because Edge doesn't solo doesn't mean they're not a rock band you fuck. You're probably a poser idiot who knows nothing about music. And Bono does have good vocals.

[jolangli]

u2 are posers. and i know much more about music than a rattleandhum fan ever will. cause if you like that album you know nothing about good music, and you like having you're ears raped with irish bullshit.

[dwskins]

Hey Jolangli - Fuck off you poser pussek!

[u2MRtheFLY]

thats why they've won 22 grammy's and no band can touch them live

yea right, u know nothing u piece of crap

[jolangli]

Grammie's don't prove shit. Alot of shitty artists and bands have won grammies as well.

And they're not better live than almost anyone within the same genre.

It's impossible to pull of a great show if you lack the skills to do any of the things you should do to blast the roof off. And fuck that terrible attempt of doing robert plant at the end.

Long live hendrix's version

[ribamar23]

retarded

[dakotahplaysguitar]

true. Some underground punk band can probably kill this band, but they're not commercialized and all the "award givers" care about is image and record sales, some Souther californian skateboarder that has gone through so much shit could probably right a way better song then U2, but he'll never be heard off.

[locosisko]

...they are heard on because they are great,not contrary...your "underground punk band" can never make ACHTUNG BABY,be sure!!!

[Hallucination]

Hahahaha right. Cause U2's success was gift wraped for them from the get go. They were a commercialized band who had awards given to them from day one I'm sure. Hahahaha You clearly know fuck all about this band. You make yourself look like a comlete jackass posting shit like that.

[burberrybassist2]

Hahaha, you've gone through shit? So what, go to therapy don't join a band. U2 started off with the best intentions like any other rock band, just listen to the unforgettable fire, war, or boy. It's not their fault they made the Joshua Tree and then started making second rate pop songs, its just because that was the time they were around.

[roggbyv]

no one can beat u2, greatest band of all time!

[jolangli]

and i don't either see what my comment had to do with mine, but youtube mailed me and said you have responded so i just wanted to diss your shit.

[stompern]

That post was good, until you added "You're probably just some douche bag fag who likes death metal or some gay shit. " Why the heck do you guys do that?! Youtube discussions is just idiotic. Keep it to the discussion, don't put in irrelevant crap.

Inb4 "you are and idiot"

[emgrocks92]

lmao bud, if you knew anything about guitar youd know how respected the edge is throughout the guitar community, and how influential he is. if you arent a fan of his playing style, thats fine, but dont be a little bitch about it.

[jppjc]

amen to that

the edge is my idol

[fingletoad]

wowowowwow!

[himynameisste]

sorry people not too bad but im afraid the master hendrix would go on stage and blow them away cos they play like all the modern bands all technics no feeling as the master said i dont mind if you boo as long as you boo in key!!!!

[MUDSHARK111]

i didn't know u2 had a version of this song. but before i watched it i knew there would be some clown going on about how grate Hendrix was,and how he`d own them all.i don't rate the edge highly as a lead player, but at least he knows how to tune a feckin guitar.and if you play and are even half tidy, you will know exactly what im getting at .

[Esundevil]

I hear you man, but i feel that dave matthews has to be the best. better then jimi or dylan if only cause of its raw energy and edge. it seems that there are endless quality versions but some are just in another league.

[minouche41]

They are so many covers of this incredible song, this one very good. U2 rox!!

[kimtheedje]

ao vivo sao os maiores

mais nada

u2 para uma vida

[jppisco]

great, i don't love U2, but i think it is a good cover, sometimes, bands, even the big ones, just like to play some songs they like, i guess, the way they like to ear it from other musicians...i really prefer the long version from dave matthews, but liked this too.

you, fuckers, don't like, don't listen, it isn't rocket science...just don't listen it...

[theblouexperience]

popmarter is only right about DMB

DMB fails but bob dylans original version is the best the hendrick's

i dont like U2 but i like what Bono does for the world community

[miniriddick2]

piss off every1 who finks u2 are good

[paddie353535]

there are so many versions out there it's hard to track. give clapton's a listen, see what you think.

[tripod191]

this sucks

[buzzkill27]

so does your mom...she's horrible in bed

[surfitlive]

This version led me to the Hendrix version and UTUBE has allowed me to hear the original Dylan studio recording....ALL 3 sound good coming from their respective performers. And credit goes to the Author(not lyrics, they were written in 1833, but song composition), Dylan.

The lyrics had me engulfed, caught up.

U2's version had me rocking and Hendrix is the one who made it Rockable originally, probably showing the world how to cover a song properly w/o being a copy-cat.

[surfitlive]

People have 2stop hating.

Some of you don't understand BONO/U2's style and how if they do a cover they aren't gonna bite it note for note, lyric for lyric(especially LIVE).

They are going 2work 2put something of themselves into it & give it 2 'their' fans who know/apreciate 'their' style.

Any one can copy note for note another persons performance, that is lame for any artist..

Go watch the Pavarotti duets & say how lame those R, since U can't appreciate what is going on & any talent present

[nuudle123]

this just sucks...its like hendrix's version but its A LOT worse

[rolf1304]

i like dylans and hendrix's version better.. they made it their own, while U2 just kinda copied it...

[popmarter]

Best version ever U2 stuffs Hendrix ,Dylan and that pussy band Dave Matthews Rubbish.

[laboloche]

Fucking great..thanks U2.

[mikem1030]

this is the worst i've ever heard a main stream band play this song.

[buzzkill27]

Mikem1030: Go fuck yourself asshole....since your brains are lodged so far up your ass trying to think is the last thing you should be doing..you might hurt yourself
