Bandits - All Along The Watchtower

Bandtis - All Along The Watchtower
Bob Dylan Cover
"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."
"No reason to get excited", the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late".
All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

I saw this film when I was very young and I still love it.

[@jacobblackstonefield1142]

This movie is one of the greatest ever, so I wish more people watched this, and felt how they’ve lived. This Jim’s song would remind us how they live in their time.

[@TheDarkDutchman]

Nice they do the original Dylan version.... 👍👌

[@davidevans491]

Song is just as popular now as it was in the 60's.. Glad I was able to see Jimmy in Miami 68...

[@robvanunnik6840]

Why didn't bring the algorithm me to this great cover, until now!!!

[@FuaFoa]

Cause of ads probably ;]

[@ru.kiddingme]

Terrific! I love hearing this sung by female vocalists.

I used to own a Fireglo Red Richenbacher 4001 bass....

[@toddmason5499]

Jasmin Tabatabai the only member of the on-film band to play in the soundtrack recordings, IIRC...though probably not the lead guitar here. The musicians of the cast apparently did tour together. Pity this film is so-little seen in the States...title confusion with the historical crime-drama probably doesn't help.

[@tombain5665]

Really great version. Great band. Drummer and singer brilliant.

[@GeraldFrey-lm9gf]

I've been looking for the movie.

[@jenniferhorton3925]

These women are excellent! Definitely one of my favorite versions!!! This song is my all-time favorite & this band"s cover is in my top 5. Look up version by Barbara Keith (70's) which was my intro to this song. And checkout instrumental version by Luna Lee.

[@ralphmunn1685]

Barbara Keith kicks ass!!!!!!!!

[@411Tom]

@@ralphmunn1685 I agree. Still, these girls are good.

[@raulricardofernandezconcep2444]

Bob Dylan is the author of these songs

[@MrPanama9red]

One of my all time favorites,I play it a lot.These guys do a pretty good job,love female singers.

[@rainerkornmusic]

Wow , I love the guitar player! World needs strong women

[@Sup3rPrun3]

I'm glad someone else knows about this. Ever since the first time I heard it, it has been my favorite version. No offense to Jimi Hendrix fans. I just cannot seem to get it on Apple music or anywhere else.

[@nataliezitzmann6047]

I prefer it to jimi too. Also Bandits was one of my fave movies in my early teens

[@marekboromovski9826]

Well, one cannot argue about taste. Musically is that version way behind the one of Mr.Hendrix!

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

@@nataliezitzmann6047 Dir ist aber schon klar, dass die Nummer von Hendrix diese Performance ganz massiv beeinflusst hat, oder? Oder um es mal anders zu sagen: Alle großen Musiker, die dieses Stück gemacht haben, waren von Hendrix inspiriert. Und ich gehe mal davon aus, dass selbst Dylan es gewesen ist. Interessant ist eine Version von Santana, die er gemeinsam mit Dylan 1984 live in Offenbach abgeliefert hat. Und ich habe davon sogar eine Platte... *grins*

[@nataliezitzmann6047]

@@melchiorvonsternberg844 ganz blöd bin ich auch nicht. Ich hab nur gesagt das mir die version besser gefällt. Genauso wie ich The Corrs version von Little Wing lieber mag. Hendrix war genial, aber gesanglich nicht ganz so stark. Ich denke das ich deshalb die anderen lieber hab. Die Santana Version is auch cool

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

@@nataliezitzmann6047 Zuerst... Kein Mensch hat behauptet, du wärst blöd! Und Hendrix war mehr so der Mann für den Sprechgesang. Man würde ja auch keinen Rapper mit einem Opersänger vergleichen wollen. Da zieht er natürlich klar den Kürzeren. Und von Dylan selbst, wollen wir gar nicht erst sprechen. Aber durch seine Art zu singen, hat Hendrix mehr für den späteren Rap getan, als es denen selbst bewusst ist. Und über Geschmack, lässt sich gleich gar nicht streiten. Aber aus Sicht eines Musikers, bleibt mein Statement, natürlich so bestehen. Und gerade bei der Musik, kommt es bedeutend mehr auf die Idee an, als auf die Ausführung, findest du nicht?

[@johnbacketti6687]

You’re killing it! The best in recent history!

[@petegarrido5406]

Good job 👍. The bass smokes !

[@quirkessence9446]

Girls, you rock hard!

[@LarryNeie-lj7zc]

I'm 72 and here's my old man opinion, Dylan wrote and recorded the song on his John Wesley Harding album in '68. It is still the masterpiece that others try to improve on. Again, just my opinion, the best cover of this comes from Neil Young.

[@FuaFoa]

I like the U2 version as well, from "Rattle of Hum"

[@johnbacketti6687]

So fucking rocks!!!

[@johnbacketti6687]

I now own the movie

[@Schweety]

Es ist ein deutscher Film, der beste aller Zeiten auch wenn er vor meiner Zeit aktuell war, und alle Komentare sind Englisch 😂😂

[@nataliezitzmann6047]

Ich hätte gerne den Film mit englische Untertitel damit es mit meinem Freund gucken kann. Ist einer meiner Lieblingsfilme.

[@WeltonA-rl7rh]

I may be the only one on earth who prefers Dylan’s version over any of the others. Other singers make the song about the music and not the lyrics.

[@johnbacketti6687]

Bob Dylan wrote this.

[@FuaFoa]

Indeed. That's what he did ;]

[@claudesaintpierre7352]

And Jimi Hendrix, Bryan Ferry, Neil Young played it.

[@raulricardofernandezconcep2444]

😂Este cocer se parece mucho a la original de Dylan al contrario de Neil Young y Hendricks que hacen versiones muy originales

[@vtphoto1]

Super cool arrangement but let's be honest - This is a Jimi cover! Well done.

One detail I love in this cover is that as non-native speakers, they either don't recognize or can't bring themselves to reproduce the nonstandard English of "I can't get no relief," so they leave out the double negative. They're Bob Dylan lyrics! He wants you to think he's a farm boy from Appalachia instead of a middle-class schoolboy from the Upper Midwest! Embrace the colloquialism, fictional ladies! But it's still a stunning performance.

[@fig7047]

no relief means any relief here, so it's not really non-standard English. It might not be the Queen's English though!

[@stevetheduck1425]

@@fig7047 In older British English, it goes 'I can not get any relief; none.' Sort of a negative with two different emphases by modern standards. But this was written, as you say, by Bob Dylan; he had his own ideas about words and their meanings. This song is a prime example; love it, in the several versions and re-arrangements I've found.
