Amazing sound, to be able to recreate CSN like this is not easy.

The original. Graham Nash was with Joni Mitchell? TIL.


Joni started out with David Crosby, who got her her first recording contract. Next was Graham. Later she married an ebass player named Klein.

The best part is at the end. I usually skip over runouts, but this is a good one.

Jimi Hendrix All Along The Watchtower Live 1970 Isle Of Wight


Uli Jon Roth All Along The Watchtower

I think this is the greatest cover ever, it was mentioned early doors.
What Hendrix did with this in the studio was genius. Live? Well it's 1970 and large system outdoors, not a great combo for that time.
His sound was ropey but he managed to tame it and his voice, which he didn't rate, is as iconic as his guitar sound.
