Post your favorite Classic Rock song for everyone to enjoy

[Chris the Chees]

Bob Dylan - All Along the Watchtower (electric)

The accustic origional is better though, and better than the Hendrix version. But this version sums up everything great about 60s rock.

[Trojan_Ripper]

Impressive choices and some great listening everyone!

I was wondering when Dylan would appear….

Here is Rick Wakeman and Yes. Saw them in Tampa stadium in 1974. Beautiful laser light show or that could’ve been the shrooms….

Also a Cool/wierd/wild/game? video to go with Leslie West’s Mississippi Queen

Matter of taste, of course. Personally I prefer the Hendrix version.

In any case, your version is Dylan after he lost what little voice he ever had.

Here's Dylan's original recorded version:

Remember it well, as I do the Great CRTC Wars of those days.

I saw Blood, Sweat and Tears play at Gage Park in Hamilton a few years ago. All new except for DCT, who was hobbling a bit on a bad hip. In fact the saxophonist -- to my amazement -- was a guy I went to highschool with.

I attended the concert with a friend who spent years playing rockbands for a living. He knew a guy who had been in the Bossmen. DCT's approach was as follows: If any member of the band took a different view from him, he (DCT) would beat the crap out of him. That settled the matter. (rolls eyes)
