Pearl Jam - All Along the Watchtower (New York '08)

Awful cover.

"No reason to get excited, folks." The walls of Jericho are crumbling, and all we wanna do is piss on each other's shoes. The reasons so many bands cover this tune (43 years young) are (1) even I can play the song, and (2) these are the absolutely best lyrics ever. Can any words scream at us more clearly?

Time to man the barricades!!

whoever says the dmb version of this song is better, hendrix acoustic?...come on mccready rocks on this

seriously? i mean come on jimi did an incredible version but with dave you have his sick playing, boyd tinsleys sick violin solo, leroi moore/tim reynolds sax/electric solo respectively. or jeff coffins sick solo or bela fleck's sick solo. they're all diff styles and all good. pearl jams version is good for them but if pearl jam tried dmb's or bob dylans it just wouldnt sound right.

Pearl Jam+Bob Dylan+J Cash=Song Writing Genius's

To mention a few.....

Great and powerful version with Eddie's voice and McCready's killing solo!

Awesome song, it has been covered by many artists, including legends... That means that he guy who wrote it is beyond being a legend haha!

Well, it is Bob Dylan, and he is absolutely beyond legendary.

Haha i know it's dyland. And yes, absolutely beyond legendary, you're totally right!

Oh really? Well I guess that would be why Dave's version was better lol.

Haha yup! :)
