Cover songs better than original

[Big Rig]

Cover songs are a unique way to perform someone else’s tune. Cover songs are often better than the original

Following a motorcycle accident in July 1966, Bob Dylan spent the next 18 months recuperating while writting All Along the Watchtower.

Dylan thought of the song during a thunderstorm.

Hendrix turned it into the greatest cover ever

For you youngsters, the original was by the Beatles...

I was lucky enough to see Joe Cocker & The Grease Band do this live at the Fillmore East NYC in May, 1969 shortly after it was released in 1968. Opening for The Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart.

Both groups killed!

Not only one of the best covers but this Hendrix version is one of the best rock songs ever. So psychedelic
