It...

 

[Humberto]

It...

Why did you put me down, It was a good story.

 

[Humberto]

I prefer the Hendrix version

Blossie and Elpenor liked it the little snides.

 

[Humberto]

Here's to the hearts and the hands of the men

I was surprised to discover that, according to the ma himself’s website, this is the song he has played live most frequently.

Ok, could it not go in just the one post, though?

No. I couldn't have done it like that.

Don't be modest. If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.

All along the watchtower, the Hendrix version, was in some ways spoiled for me by it's overuse in films and documentaries concerning the 60s, especially in regards to Vietnam.

I thougt I was a dick head. Now you are saying I can put things together. Maybe I am a fool.

Have to say I don’t really mind Humberto’s spurts of late night posting

He’s largely dropped the aggression. While the number of threads is perhaps a bit self-indulgent, there’s certainly an awareness of this, and it opens up interesting debates about songs, genres and artists which may get lost in a mega-thread somewhere

I'm being fussy. I find it distracting when it's spread out over several posts.

Not a big fan of monolithic walls of text, either, though.

As to the song, am kinda over it now, for the reasons mentioned up thread. Sometimes too much of a good thing, etc. Wham and Last Christmas, for example.


Although I may be ready to hear it again, as it's been quite a while. George was a marvellous songsmith. Up there with Dylan, Mitchell and Cohen.

Ignore Krtek, he's a miserable git.

Your post on the over-exposure is an example of something interesting that comes out of these late night postings

I wish you would, silly shit stirring weirdo.

Am happy to dial down my postings if it's too much. H has good taste (subjective, I know) in a certain type of music. Just find the stream of consciousness stuff a bit off-putting.

You're a gentleman and a scholar.

I prefer the Hendrix version

So did Dylan. Dylan changed his delivery of the song after hearing the Hendrix version.

This is one of the Dylan tracks that I have never been able to find in the original version.

Surely the original version of All Along the Watchtower is the one that Dylan released on the album John Wesley Harding?

 

[PTK]

Is this the theme song of the Jehovah's Witnesses?
