And to who ever said Dylan's live watchtower doesn't compare... which version are you talking about, because he's had MANY MANY versions through the years.

Lastly, on this watchtower note, I can't find where I originally saw the quote, but I remember seeing Dylan say "Watchtower is a Hendrix song... I just wrote it."

Dylan is unreal... he and Paul Simon, in my opinion, are the best song writers of all time.
Check out Dylan's live Watchtowers from the fall 2002 tour with Charlie Sexton. A personal favorite of mine is 11.21.02 (Wilkes-Barre, PA). I also like the ones from the fall 2004 tour with Larry Campbell on pedal steel. Eerie as fuck.
