Out of all the reworkings of Dylan's Watchtower, I find this version one of the most interesting...who thought it could be slowed down and jazzed up? It's fabulous!
I like this. It's different. I see some of the other comments mention Dylan and Hendrix. My favorite versions of this are the live Neil Young versions.
I was lucky enough to be at the show what a performance the whole concert was grilled steak tips in a parking lot before entering show anybody from Mass knows the deal LOL
Warren comps Derek wonderfully and the bass sets it all off. These guys just might have a future. A few more “Yousician” lessons and they might make it!
@@heywoodjablomi69 that IS what is being covered. Warren has taken a cover that was the greatest cover of Watchtower..EVER.. and warren covered the cover..then..Derek played a relevant solo..making the song ALIVE AGAIN. Derek, with the young yet deepest soul..goes back to quiet reverence after his solo, left warren to a lyric and ending .. but Warren adding 'wind began to howl- twice..did not enchant on enhance. Warren might have been better off to Try to really cover Dylan. or maybe never try to cover any icon as exalted and unique as Dylan. Fans don't go easy on such covers. -So it remains a double cover. no big changes except when Derek is doing a solo- unrelated to Jimi's + the a unique but dramatic and clear and uplifting cover. Still Warren has mostly followed and that is covering the cover -truth.
I think you're pointing to both of their uses of octaves. While this was pretty signature to Wes Montgomery, I don't think that Derek Trucks actually "learned this technique" from him. Derek is playing an open E tuning guitar, so there are three strings that, when played on the same fret, will play the same tone in different octaves. This is probably why he does it.
Dylan interpreted via Hendrix turned into a blues shuffle. Not quite where the song is at, though, because it is one of those "the day of judgment is coming with your next breathe, so if you don't know that, you'll have missed it" songs. Jimi turned it into an apocalyptic song (he did miss it). The brothers here turn it into a groove. Not quite right. No. But they know their blues.
Maybe is a Post-Appocalyptic version that is going through your mind, as SOMEHOW,U survived & you're devastated..So far,U R the only person alive,& U ain't got energy 4 anything but baby steps @ this point in your life. I can kind-of relate it to the DEAD's version of Morning Dew..the bitersweet feeling of lucky to be alive..but who cares cause EVERYTHING U ever cared about has been killed,or destroyed.. They started playing it a bit Slower as the bands abilities & friendship grew;& I've been there as they were the soundtrack for whats happening in your own life(Damn I miss em). !Ha! As a matter of fact,now, the a Morning Dews I happened to see was played directly after Watchtower,so I just kinds look for new meanings in songs- new views of anything is always interesting to me. charlie
Warren Hanes, pretty good. Puts up a good fight. BUT Derick M.F. Trucks 🤩 She-IT ! I don’t know.....he’s just killing it. Clothes lines me with his solos. I think Warren and Derrick...a lot of guitarists are “ good “, but I think these guys L I S T E N as much as they play. Especially when they’re practicing by themselves. Derrick M. F. Trucks man. Ouch! ....... I USED to like SRV in the 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, 2020s, but I’m starting to really like Derrick, (and Gary Moore). Thank you God Almighty, for allowing the electric guitar and amp to be created.

It's your same link that is the reson I found this version of these songs. I found the link on "The Sky is Cryin".☺️🎶
Out of all the reworkings of Dylan's Watchtower, I find this version one of the most interesting...who thought it could be slowed down and jazzed up? It's fabulous!
Love the groove.
Trucks is the best slide player on the planet ☺️🎵🎶💞🎼🇺🇲
@@tomsmith522 Agreed, although this performance is not a great example of that...
1:30
Warrens doing, he’s a musical genius. Understands soundscapes like no other.
This is the coolest version of this song so much soul.
If you don't love blues you have no life to enjoy .
Absolutely love the way Warren Hayes is doing this. Seen this show in Boston a killer song here
Great interpretation....that was a different story all together.
That was a slow jazz version.
AMAZING...… how fortunate we are to have lived in this time... Mr. Bob Dylan master poet.... These Amazing musicians...….
I was at this show up front. My fav ever. Derek stole it. Humbly as always
^^^@brandon caleb .. Wow dude! "Bet it was the Shit tew" Cooooooooool! ..
God damn couldn’t even imagine being up front for that
Absolutely mindbogging !
Hello Wendell,
how're you doing
Comments like this are priceless, Thank you❤️
it's nice meeting you here
Love the jazzy sound, really great version.
This is awesome! What a nice thing to stumble across!
7/16/24 I just discovered this. I've heard the song before. But this version is crazy good. Both Derek & Warren hit it out of the park! 🤪🎼🎶🎵🎶💞
55 idiots that would dare to give that a thumbs down. Killer rendition!!!
This is so cool brilliant version of a great song
Wow glad I came here to get back The Allman Bro’s... so great !
Derek Trucks is without a doubt the greatest guitarist alive today and when you have Oteil Burbridge on Bass! Damn!
Great rendition of the song. I love Jeff Healey's version.
Brilliant stuff; love the conversation between the guitars throughout.
Awesome!
Wonderful version....
I like this. It's different. I see some of the other comments mention Dylan and Hendrix. My favorite versions of this are the live Neil Young versions.
Leave it to the Allman Brothers to take an old classic rock song and turn it in to this super cool jazzy jam. I've these guys!
That is I love these guys!
Wow, nice man, great interpretation.
Trucks is just a monster player.
But Warren can play anything....on a whim. Sing too.
@@waltertalbert1408 Not a competition really.... both enrich the band and create unique, amazing complementary ingredients to the mix
both TRUCKS playing together are an awesome family duo.
yeah he's from another planet
So, so.......cool!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it!!!!!!
just beautiful
A great song, no matter who is playing
just magic!!!!!
nifty version of this classic. really.
very cool. I love Hendrix, but this is damn good.
7 th like, just to reinforce it. 👍🎁♥️
Excellent!!!!!
always timely
Great stuff
wonderfull!
Awesome version i miss seeing them in this venue as much as the ushers sucked!! The 94 ish run was superb with Allen Woody on bass
SO FINE
I Love It

love it
OH MAN! The "boy" can play!! He certainly learned his licks in the best place!
Love this Version. Very Bluesy!
Great jazzy, blues cover!!
SIMPLEY THE BEST band ! ABB !!!!!!
great version well played by Warren,Trucks and Trucks Greg and Jaimoe
Que barbaridad....son muy buenos...Warren Haynes Genial....¡¡¡
Not enough love here for the bass playing - everyone else kills it but Oteil sets it all up.
The bass line... done right, it's the interesting little song inside the interesting song, eh? ;--)
If nobody here can be Hendrix, then do something different. And these people made it big time. Superb version!
Love the smooth jazz cover.................... Jimi would've approved.
It's not jimi's song
Goddingdc08 When Bob heard Jimi play this 1 he "gave" it to Jimi for his turn on it. look it up.
I like Dave Mason's version better. Check it out if you can find it.
It's not my song either but I definitely approve so why couldn't Jimi?

cool....like it
"Nobody leaves this place without singing the blues" Oh yea, guitar blues .
Sweet.
Man, Warren and Derrick are as slick as those colored print ads you get to when you’re in the privey!! 💩💩
Too slick!
It's weird how Derek Trucks plays guitars with his fingers just like he does with the slide... I wish I could play with such an original style. xS
INCRIVEL COMO UMA MUSICA E BOA TUDO PODE SER FEITO COM A MESMA VALE DYLAN'S POR UMA MUSICA INCRIVEL.......................
!!!!!!!!Warren & Derek!!!!!!!!
jazzy, dig it
I say they could’ve knocked FM “Hypnotized” out of the park in like fashion👍
Bob welsh and Bob Weston great version on Mystery to Me pre Stevie and Lindsey
Those drumsets are an absolute mess! Love it! :D
Unbelievable!
Believe Derek takes this classic way beyond normal@
and cant forget Dickey and Warren
🙌🏾💚💚💚
Very well said and agree!. Though there are new talents on the rise, they are not enough and get little or nil airplay. Mediocrity is the norm.
Good god
Yeah! Derek brings Wes Montgomery to meet Dylan and Jimi. Great stuff.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 cool oldie ♪ ♫ ♬ ♫ 🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 cool ♪ ♫ ♬ ♫ 🎶
KINDA JAZZY....SUPER COOL.
Wow.
Derek!
Dam!
in the soundtrack of your life you want warren playing rhythm in support
Anyone who says they screwed it up should listen to the solo by Trucks.
Between 2:30 & 5:00 Derek and Warren begin an interplay of stark dissident tones that is hard to compare against any duet I have ever heard.
Derek Trucks...buenisimo.
Damn, this is hot!!!!
Am I hearing "Breakdown" in this? I keep hearing Warren say " it's allright, it's allright"
Sound and video quality are great! Is this shot from the audience?
Any one else hear the Derek Trucks style and sound being influenced by Wes Montgomery?
+MrUtubePete yes, in parts and George Benson.

Derek is playing an open E tuning guitar, so there are three strings that, when played on the same fret, will play the same tone in different octaves. This is probably why he does it.
another version here did that. I think Santana was present but sure didn't play like Wes.
Yes the influence is there, he even did a cover of Wes Montgomery's song bock to bock.
Watchtower meets Moondance interesting

loving the drift
WOW nothing like percussion..
Wow what can you say.
interesting . but the talent is truly there.
You have GOT to be kidding. Don't be hating on Warren.
Jimi would be GD Proud.. Derek and Warren are amazing
how do you fucking cut the final solo?
it's what the song would be like if they wrote it they are just keepin' it real and doin' it their style..that's all..but I kinda hear you
Kaum zu Glauben!Eine der besten Bands dieser Welt machen die schrecklichste Version dieses Songs kaum zu glauben!
ohio mule sez extra coolio mannn......
All dat bending and I've yet to see either of these guys bust a string.
Dylan's original is the best, but this as cool a cover as there is.
damned, 'wish 'could play the gui that way

Clothes lines me with his solos.
