Battlestar Galactica's All Along the Watchtower (live)

[Kill0rbAg]

Frakin awesome.

SO SAY WE ALL!

(well, except four, they were Cylons)

[davidcrotty82]

the best show in the history of tv!!! it nearly got cancelled because of ratings shame that a lot of people dont get the show but then again a lot of people prob wont get it for about 20 years. WHAT DO YOU HEAR STARBUCK?

[cmsahe]

@davidcrotty82 short sighted producers! it's just like music, the money is in the sales, I'm a newcomer to BSG and I think it's frakking awesome! and I liked Caprica a lot too.

[Thyrfing84]

@davidcrotty82 Nothing but the rain.

[davidcrotty82]

@Thyrfing84 grab you gun and bring the cat in

[Beebop121]

This kinda sucks. They're not staying together.

[Fretslayer]

BADASS!

[Torsti2003z]

what old bsg? like light years from the present day version and the world

[Torsti2003z]

oh god dammit

[prphotomail]

when does the live dvd come out?

[Sleepinglily]

woohoo! Battlestar for the win!!!

[OrdoTeuton]

is the song about slavery?

[klined]

it's about life

[OrdoTeuton]

any kind in poticular

[knoxvilleguy2]

klined:

" Watchtower "'s got some Biblical allusions that were hinted at all throughout the last season of the series. Not pushing any religion or particular view, just making an honest, subjective observation.

You wouldn't believe how many fans of the Original Galactica are either indifferent about the re - imagined BSG, or else they just plain LOATHE it. It treads on " sacred ground " or something. Or else they just like explosions, space wars or fancy space ships.

[prphotomail]

my brother is one of them!!!! He calls it a bullshit soap opera and stubbornly refuses to watch even a minute of it. Let's face it the old Battlestar show was a completely different thing....not even in the same league

[knoxvilleguy2]

I hear that they're planning another remake along the same lines as the Original series for some reason. Marc Singer would produce or direct. This would mean a return to the disco look of the 70's - 80's in space, Cylon centurions who are as efficient as Larry, Moe & Curly at hitting targets, capes for the bridge officers, laser guns, terms like " Centon ", " Yahren ", " sectar ", " cubit "..... & DAGGITS !! WHY ? Gimme a break.....

[ArcArsenal998]

The original BSG is an ugly show, full of re-makings, many parts which are decidedly uncanonical, something like 4 attempted revivals before this amazing series, and many other problems. I think the stubborn original creator is STILL pushing for his series in its orignality to be remade into a movie, which will look crappy and disappointing against this more advanced and brilliant series

[knoxvilleguy2]

Yes - It was largely dependent on the influence of Star wars - Centurions as Imperial Storm Troopers, IL - Series Cylons as effeminate knock - offs of C3 - PO dressed in Librace's cast - offs, the only thing missing was X - wing fighters & Death Star.

I'm surprised George Lucas didn't win a lawsuit against Glen Larson. Richard Hatch was pushing for HIS own remake, so they threw him a bone & gave him a role on RDM's version.

& original BSG was a product of the 70's, too.

[Fretslayer]

@knoxvilleguy2 Lucas probably didn't sue because he wouldn't want to get sued himself. Star Wars 'borrowed' many (and I do mean MANY) of it's elements from 'Dune'.

[knoxvilleguy2]

@Fretslayer makes sense to me ! He also borrowed ideas from the old Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, John Carter, Warlord of Mars, etc.

[geost]

LOVE this BSG version of the song! Glad they included it in the soundtrack!

[arcuarius86]

wow

[knoxvilleguy2]

If I could turn back time, & locate the place where this concert was, I would !!

" JUMP !!! "

[Jimbothy]

if I could turn back time

if I could find a way

I'd take back those words that hurt you

and you'd stay.

If I could reach the stars,

I'd give them all to you

Then you'd love me, love me, like you used to do.

[knoxvilleguy2]

" If I could turn back time,

If I could find the Earth,

I could direct the Colonial Fugitive Fleet there, Fleet there, Fleet there "

" We traded one nuked - out civilization for another " - Laura Roslin

" All this has happened before " - Caprica Six on present - day Earth.

[Michelle5227]

SO SAY WE ALL!!!! great job guys!!!

[knoxvilleguy2]

[Gezquester]

[MrDobilina]

this Isn't just all along the watch tower though, its heeding the call followed by all along the watchtower

[Tanru2000]

Bear McCreary! PLEASE bring this show to Australia!!

[overthemoo]

They did a freakin' concert of BSG music?!?!?! GAH. What I would have given to be there...

[EndCat47]

[overthemoo]

That would prove difficult seeing as I am female.

[EndCat47]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahah, left ovary?

[overthemoo]

Certainly. Then again it's easy to say that since this event already took place....

[ShadowissoAwesome]

awesome! i love BSG and i 1st learned this song from there...who originally made this song?

[Seraph8376]

It was a Bob Dylan song originally, but the most well known version of this song is by Jimi Hendrix.

[rocketman234]

Also a version by DMB that's pretty good.

[EndCat47]

i want tab

[MrDobilina]

tab?

[EndCat47]

tabliture, its like music for guitar, simplified and only for guitar

[IndigoChildWatcher]

So why were people in the audience not shouting "SO SAY WE ALL" when they heard what song it was?

[LegoGreedo]

As a reference to Battlestar Galactica.

[IndigoChildWatcher]

It looks like you misread my comment.

[DirtDiver1983]

Awsome version!

BTW, does anyone have a link for the Guitar Tab for this version. Can't seem to find anythin except for the old school versions

[RrinLope]

Wow, standing that close to the monitor REALLY makes you hear double. Still very cool, wish I had got to see it.

[GalacticaCAG]

That is so wesome. Where ws this?

[goldcylon]

Since Bear had 2 Battlestar Galactica concerts in LA about 1 month ago I bet this one of the 2 shows he put on. Many members of the cast were present at the concert also.

[mattfasl]

It was at the Roxy Theater in Hollywood on Sunset Blvd.
