So which version did they do? Dylan's, Hendrix, or my personal favorite, the DMB version?

    I can't beleive out of DMB, Dylan, and Hendrix, someone would say DMB??? Anyway, most similar to Dylan, but having seen Dylan a few times, it always sounds different with him.

    dylan has said in old interviews he liked what jimi did with the song and he started playing it same way as jimi live.. personally when i think of this song and its greatness i think of the hendrix version

    I knew someone would say this.

    Anyone talking shit about the DMB version obviously hasn't heard it. Love them or hate them, it freakin' rocks.

    jaja, estás re out nene.
    :D


    My favourite DMB song I witnessed live when I accompanied a friend that's a big DMB fan, was not his!! It was his cover of All along the watchtower!
    haha

    It was a good version. (Regardless if you like DMB or not)
    y la banda de Guille... cuando toca?

    I agree with the other post, if anything it sounded more like the hendrix version, if you need a comparison, but thats prolly because of Mike. This is kind of a stupid question cause every cover song pearl jam does they make it their own, performing it just as well if not better then the original artist. So to truely answer your question it was Pearl jam's version, and it will go down as one of their best cover performances (i just hope the bootleg is clear and sounds good so it does the song justice for all you who werent there to hear it). The 2006 boots so far are disappointing to me, but atleast they offer us the option. Kids i dont think this will be played again anytime soon either, all those at Bill Graham with me were truely lucky to be there for it.

    That was at the St. Paul VFC show, which I would probably pick as the greatest concert I've ever seen. I went mostly because REM was playing, and was excited that Springsteen was on because I would have likely never seen him otherwise.

    As was Neil's wont that tour, he was a 'surprise' guest. When REM was on, Michael Stipe casually introduced him (for Country Feedback!) and the place went nuts. I knew that Neil was popping up here and there on the tour, but for some reason it never crossed my mind that he'd be there, so it was a genuine surprise for me.

    Neil was introduced again during the middle of Bruce's set and they played Souls of the Departed and Watchtower. With the election a month away, watching Bruce and Neil repeat 'Two riders were approaching' over and over at the end gave me chills, just as it did watching that video right now.

    The end of that show was something I'll never forget. There were nine fucking guitarists on stage. Nine! You had Bright Eyes, REM, John Fogerty, Neil Young, and Bruce all on the same stage, all at once. They all played on RITFW, What's So Funny Bout Peace Love & Understanding, and People Have the Power. The crowd was blown away. *I* was blown away. It was an amazing, amazing night of music and one that I'm not sure will ever be topped.
