Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower

The iconic cover a Bob Dylan song from Electric Ladyland released in October 1968 and it literally did blow our minds.

I always liked Dave Mason's version.
Song is so "coverable", even I have a version!

There are some elements of the Mason version. Mostly the flanged guitar playing arpeggios in the background.
I don't sing anything like Dave or Jimi, so I didn't even try.
