in The Porch
I dig the version with Neil from 2004. And Eddie solo in Water on the Road is great.

Any other versions that stand out?

    U2's Rattle and Hum is my favorite cover of this song.

    I'm biased because I was there, but 7/18/2006 San Francisco with Lee Ranaldo. Was a total surprise.

    Hendrix for sure.

    As far as PJ versions go, Hartford 2010 with BofH Ben was great. Complete surprise and so much fun to see live.

    Hartford 2010

    Bens singing is a big weak... but maybe I'll go with this one.

    Don't think this is a cover that PJ really elevates... but yeah. I guess I go with the Hartford version or Toledo.

    Funny that Eddie needs to read the lyrics to this one. Thought it was one song every rockstar knew by heart :D

    Maybe. But need a PJ version :)

    (I think Neil Young does it pretty good too)

    Don't get me wrong - this song has been covered by many excellent artists - Eddie does a great cover - but I just love Hendrix's version the best.
