Song History
"Watchtower" is one of the all time most played encore songs. The band is thought to have been covering this song since their first show ever. Dave was known to have been covering it solo since before the band came together. The song became an early favorite and many old school shows where the crowd would scream "Watchtower" throughout entire show. Watchtower is one of the most guested songs and features many popular jams. It sounds hardly anything like Bob Dylan's original or the Jimi Hendrix cover. The song even has evolved over the years, dropping a verse, gaining a Stefan Solo feature intro, and a high note during "the wind began to howl".

"All Along the Watchtower" originally appears on Bob Dylan's 1968 album John Wesley Harding.
Jimi Hendrix's well-known cover appears on the Jimi Hendrix Experience's 1968 album Electric Ladyland, as well as on just about every Hendrix compilation.
