Best Version of Watchtower

Post by DMB2718 »

Just wondering what everyone thinks is the best watchtower Dave has ever done.
I'd deff have to go with the new central park version.
No idea how he didn't have a heart attack on stage and die with some of the lyrics he was pulling.........FIRE!!!!! FIRE!!!!

He said that Dave did , and if you're so sure that you and your roommate did the best one , then post it in the Recording & Critique section ;)

That'd be something to hear.

This is one song that (short of guests) I dont feel changes enough to warrant thinking about a best one. Watchtower has had little tweaks, but theyve all been very minor. I've seen the song live somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 times or so, and each time it was more or less the same.

Having said that, the one from 95 at the Roseland Ballroom with John Popper and Trey gets my vote. I cant even really think of one that stands out other than that.

One of the better Watchtower versions in my opinion is the one he did with that Harmonic guy at Farmaid 2001 , i can't remember his name but i think thats a pretty cool version
