14 Days of DMB - Countdown to West Palm - "All Along the Watchtower," Folsom Field, Boulder-CO

By far the best cover DMB does, Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" serves as one of the most popular encores at live shows (Dallas '09, in an otherwise not very good set, gave some sweet, sweet Watchtower action). This particular show was actually for a live album (not to be confused with the Live Traxx series) that is also an excellent concert DVD, if that's your thing. So, funny story, and a flattering one: wonder what Dylan thinks about his version of his own song be the third-most popular, after the standard-bearing Jimmi Hendrix version and this one? Probably like Reznor and "Hurt" - not too shabby.
