Only dylan could write the lyrics but without doubt Jimi made the song transcend to another realm.

[@tayhollowpeake9226]

Into a different universe it's so dam beautiful 😭😭😭😭

[@scapito]

Dylan has described his reaction to hearing Hendrix's version: "It overwhelmed me, really. He had such talent, he could find things inside a song and vigorously develop them. He found things that other people wouldn't think of finding in there. He probably improved upon it by the spaces he was using. I took license with the song from his version, actually, and continue to do it to this day." In the booklet accompanying his Biograph album, Dylan said: "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way... Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."

[@skasc8623]

DMC - Watchtower ?

[@mgjkoehler]

I've listened to this song literally thousands of times, still when he comes to the part where he sings "... two riders were approaching, and the wind began to howl." Goose bumps every damn time. Great reaction.

[@AClark-jx9zp]

This is my favorite Hendrix's song. What a genius he was.

[@juliemanarin4127]

So sad he is gone

[@1445coconut]

My favorite as well.

[@freebee8221]

Its a dylan song but yeah. A great cover

[@Notouu69]

He was on another level. I discovered his music at 15. And it's been apart of my life since.

[@77Creation]

Dylan would likely say the same. 👑

[@m.ericwatson968]

The Wah pedal sounds like the guitar making vowel sounds, mimic an electric guitar sound while saying "wah-wah-wah", you'll hear it; I will never, ever tire of hearing this song, it always hits the same too since the first listen, a true masterpiece and a genius musician.

[@minigirl6379]

Stevie Ray Vaughan used Jimi's pedal when he covered Jimi's songs. Stevie idolized Jimi. He learned to play Jimi's songs and personally went to visit Jimi's father and requested his permission to cover them. His father not only approved, he gifted him with Jimi's pedal. Asia and BJ need to react to Stevie Ray Vaughan. He was just as good as Jimi, if not better. I love them both for different reasons.

[@lizroberts6257]

@@minigirl6379 Not better.

[@marlon-jl4ge]

Nobody was better than jimi

[@Javelina_Poppers]

I was blessed to be able to see Jimi perform twice, the first time was on February 5th 1968, my 17th birthday, in a small venue just as he was starting to really come into the public's attention. I still have the framed poster for that concert and the $3 ticket price blows my grandkids away.

[@jameshitt8385]

You saw Jimi???????

[@combivan4346]

Jimi’s interpretation of this song is brilliant, genius.

[@Coolrockndad]

One of the best if not the best guitar work in a rock tune for me.

[@Oscarphone]

Saw him play this in Seattle in a small venue, it was an ice arena. Can't relay how great that whole night was.

[@gregst.martin4889]

Just think he's left handed, 10 inch hands, puts his soul in guitar and goes in zone. He's left handed playing upside down. Pure talent from heaven

[@Mark-iv7np]

THIS IS MUSIC!! So fortunate to have grown up in the 60s to hear music like this on the radio. Time has Come Today by Chambers Brothers has this physadelic vibe in 68. Jimmy was fantastic!

[@sixslinger9951]

I'm a guitar player and even though it sounds simple enough, learning Jimi's feel and timing is almost impossible. You can get close, but there is nobody like Jimi.

[@yesterdayproductions1019]

It does not sound simple enough. LOL

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Jimi's first album is "Are You Experienced", his second album is "Axis Bold as Love" and his third album (the one this song is on) is "Electric Ladyland."

[@honoraryamerica5943]

Maybe his most creative album in my opinion.

[@backwoodsvlogs5784]

@@honoraryamerica5943 agreed, Electric Ladyland is just something else, 1983 Is magical in my opinion! It was cool they had the great Steve Winwood and other members of Traffic to join in on that album. Love Traffic as well. Voodoo Chile is intense! More so than slight return.

[@shelbys6572]

Oh yea, it's that third album that was really freaky.

[@goodgoat3096]

I saw this performed by Hendrix live in Milwaukee Wisconsin a long time ago. Simply amazing!

[@shannonvanpatten8341]

This song showed what genius Jimi was not just musically but he egineered this song too.

[@ronfrosig5918]

Jimi was Beautiful!

[@Mark-iv7np]

This is prime example of the superb music that was out in the late 60s. No question the 60s were my favorite decade for music.

[@MrVb66]

This is my favorite song by Jimi Hendrix he was legendary on this track also also a little FYI Hendrix played the bass all the guitar and most of the drum work on that recording

[@chrisford4426]

In order to put this in perspective, I want you to look at what other guitar players were doing in 1968 when this song was released by Hendrix. Then look at this and his rendition of the National Anthem and you will see just how far he was ahead of his time.

[@leobrotherton2398]

Hands down my favorite song as a teenager. Dylan wrote and performed it. Several tried to duplicate it but never could come close to this guitar master.

[@JeffGrimes-bo4cc]

The way he breaks it down in this great tune the great man wow

[@redstep-child3096]

From the album Electric Ladyland. Imagine hearing this in 1968. Nothing like this has ever been done.

[@heentlasaa9974]

Jimi Hendrix first Lp was "Are you experienced" his 2nd was "Axis Bold as love" This tune was written by Bob Dylan and off the double Lp "Electric lady land" Jimi did "Like a rolling stone" by Dylan at "Monterey Pop Festival live. Rick Cain is correct. Bob Dylan said Jimi did the greatest version of his song, he felt it was always Jimmies tune, he just channeled it. One of the greatest Covers recorded. Jimi used a Fuzz face Distortion, Cry baby Wah wah pedal , Dallas Arbiter Univibe, Small stone Phase shifter & Echoplex. Thank you guys.

[@cpro2088]

I read that Bob Dylan's manager gave Jimi a list of his songs they wanted Jimi to rearrange and cover for Dylan, after hearing Watchtower and Like a Rolling Stone. But Jimi preferred to create his own music and his manager, Michael Jeffries nixed the ides because it wouldn't have resulted in royalties for Jimi❣️

[@laurenhuntsinger9170]

I actually got to see him in concert 2 times when I was a teenager. This song is in my top 10 favorites. His music allowed the mind to soar and that does not happen any longer.

[@lizroberts6257]

Me too! Lucky me, the 1st timewas in a small nightclub in '68.

[@ytcarol]

Same! Saw him close up in an Adams Morgan club in D.C. Unique experience.

[@dougca7086]

The Jimi Hendrix experience was the name of the group a three-piece group the name of his first album was Experienced All Along the Watchtower is a cover from Bob Dylan Bob Dylan wrote the song he's had over 5000 covers of his songs by other groups

[@wen-nz3sk]

YAAAAS!! ❤ FAV!! ❤ Dylan wrote it, Jimi turned it into a masterpiece!! Jimi imprinted on us and journeyed on to another world. Alien! Debate it all you want between SRV and Jimi, we cannot, there is no comparison. Each stands alone with their individual greatness. Each blows me away with their gifts. However, I will point out two uniqueness of Jimi, left landed and wah wah, without it...Food for thought . BJ, I knew the moment you looked at Asia, the recognition. And the excitement. It's always a great feeling to watch or younger gens just rock out. This is what we had guys, no phones or media, we had a hard wired phone to a wall, TV, newspapers, radio and records, that was our social media. And concerts, concerts were huge!! Loved this one!! ❤👍🏽❤👍🏽

[@kierstenridgway4634]

When I was really young, sitting in my uncles room. Black lights and posters and this music playing. Great memories.

[@anthonylovavto3228]

This version of all along the watchtower by Jimmie Hendrix really represents the turbulent times during the Viet Nam war! Hendrix really put the angst in his song that many of us felt at that time awaiting the draft. I AM 72 so I remember.........

[@cpro2088]

I read in Leon Hendrix's book (Jimi's younger brother) that Jimi's music was the soundtrack for Vietnam soldiers. The soldiers all loved Jimi but the officers resented him and took it out on Leon when Leon was in the army--especially after hearing Jimi's definitive rendition of the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock, which is now legendary and accepted by many as an iconic masterpiece of interpretation. Also, Jimi had been a 101st Squadron Airborne trooper. Go figure. I guess much was forgiven after Hendrix's death. Americans can be fickle like that, but all props go to the UK for appreciating and promoting Jimi and his music. England has several monuments honoring Jimi and his residents while there and places he played. He also wished to be buried in England, it was where he felt most at home. RIP Jimi-- never forgotten❣️

[@827dusty]

This was a Bob Dylan song, that Jimi did a version of. Actually, Jimi stayed pretty true to the original. Dylan loved Jimi's version and basically said "It's Jimi's song now." They knew each other very well. Talk about two Giants in the music industry. Dylan was a folk singer, before he, (and many others) crossed over into the Rock scene in the mid 60s.

[@personalcheeses8073]

Jimi did it justice. Dylan couldn’t have given it this electric atmosphere

[@michaelgaskell7408]

How could they know each other well,as far as I know Hendrix never met Dylan.

[@horacelee880]

Props to Jimi`s sound engineers on this one.This was done at Olympic Studios in London 68.Great work!

[@asheeran]

Can I just say how great Asia’s voice is?!

[@chrishadorn9272]

Jimi was no doubt AWESOME but he did have some outstanding percussion support from the likes of Mitch Mitchell, what a fantastic drummer and Noel Redding, incredible bassist...RIP bro's.

[@A5p3r07h]

One of my top FIVE of all motherlovin' time. Bob Dylan may have written this son, but Jimi perfected it.

[@MK-rk4no]

Easily one of the best guitar solos in recorded history. That wah is so fluid like water.

[@Cinnamonrollseveryday]

I don’t know if you guys knew, that Jimi was a left handed guitar player in a right handed guitar world. When you check out another of his performances you can see that he played the guitar upside down, long live James Marshall Hendrix the trendsetter for a lot of what you hear after him 😉😃

[@nthdegree1269]

He could also play pretty well either way. Left or Right. Which is pretty incredible

[@juliemanarin4127]

Exactly

[@danksquid3265]

One of the greatest covers of all time. "Withnail and I" would not have been the same without it.

[@Priyanka.Aarya77]

Congrats you just listened to the greatest guitarist of all time. I used to listen to this song in high school on repeat in the 90s.

[@davidbarker9755]

This was a Bob Dylan song who Hendrix idolised and I think it’s actually a better version than the original!!!

[@paulb4604]

It's probably the most well known version. I think if you ask most people whose song All Along the Watchtower is, they'd almost always say Hendrix.

[@nealm6764]

Jimi's version is much better than the original imo. Not even close.

[@LAVISHING]

@@nealm6764I agree with you. Dylan is an amazing song writer though. I’m glad that I could work on his latest album!

[@davidg4595]

so did Bob!

[@peters7025]

@@paulb4604 in an interview I saw with Noel Redding he recalled Jimi coming into the studio with the John Wesley Hardin album really excited and they recorded the song. Noel said he preferred the original! But he might still have been a bit pissed about getting fired😀. I love both versions but this has become the definitive version and Jimis arrangement probably suits the lyrics best

[@jameswhitman8710]

Saw him in Miami and was like the first 10 seats, but I will say I never sat down. In fact I was standing on the seat. Growing up o was lucky to see a lot of epic bands, and to this day , I have no idea how o was so lucky

[@mlhesler68]

This is his third and final studio album with the Experienc. And his final completed studio album. After hearing him do this song the writer Bob Dylan was impressed he started doing Hendrix version in concerts.

@@davidzimmerli489 your right it was earlier than that, that was a long time ago

[@naughtmeenaym869]

When Jimi recorded this it was the most complex studio song of all time. This one song took a very long time to record and mix. Lots of very famous people sat in on the sessions and Jimi didn't stop until it was done his way. Some of those famous people were younger than Jimi and hadn't found fame yet but did later. It was not on his first album. It was on Jimi's third album and was released as a single only six months after the original release by Bob Dylan, the song's creator.

[@dilandilanjoao4310]

[@jacksmith4460]

Its one of the greatest tracks ever recorded!!!, the 2nd main solo is one of the best solo's ever written too Goose bump city

[@jackp8583]

Jimi had the great fortune to have Eddy Cramer as his engineer who was instrumental in realizing Jimi's sound, including (the invention of?) phasing to create the sound Jimi heard in a dream where he was under water. It's so smooth but there's technique galore going on in this recording, and not just with the band. Almost any song from the Experience studio albums are just brilliantly done.

[@BM-hb2mr]

All about Vietnam..military personnel lived on Hendrix

Dylan cover that is far beyond just a mere cover...I bought Smash Hits a few weeks before Jimi died. I had not heard his music , only his name and fame. When he hits the slide break with the up and down, I thought I had broken my parents console stereo. I was not yet 10 years old and I delivered newspapers and can still see the small headline/article below the fold saying 'Rock Star Hendrix Dead".His picture stayed on my walls for decades as I moved around the world.. .Never before and never again will we hear or know the likes of Jimi Hendrix...

A wah wah pedal is designed to mimic the sound of a trumpet, or trombone, being played with a mute. Go listen to some jazz big band music where the horn players use the rubber base from a toilet plunger as a mute. You'll notice the same wah sound as the player moves the mute closer to, and away from, the bell of the horn.
