Watching Watchtower

Aside from the usual crap, YouTube has a great selection of one the most covered song of all time: All Along the Watchtower. Classics like Hendrix (live and studio), Neil Young (at DailyMotion with better sound) and U2–and some great contemporary versions like Keziah Jones’ blazingly-fast version, Bradley Fish’s 12-instrument (including Chinese Zither) version, Michael Hedges? reason-to-be-excited cover, and even a quite good version of DMB’s much-maligned cover. What doesn’t really rank: Dylan’s original.
