Location: Gardnerville, NV | gwb you went off track so I'll follow, my favorite Hey Joe is Roy Buchannon live. His guitar cries and moans, alternates between beautiful sustain and shredding for 20 minutes. Awesome. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Wow, this is a good question...I love the Hendrix version but I'll have to go with Dave Mason...He litterly put a Pacemaker into my hands w/his use of them...I love nearly everything he did...this is no exception..."We Just Disagree" is the bomb...one of the best songs ever IMHO... |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | Dave Mason when I saw him live at an outdoor concert ... after partaking in a non western consciousness opening drug. Boy I was connected to the universe that day. He played an ovation acoustic that day. Touch of chorus, a little reverb and what a great version of that song. It was alright. |

Location: Michigan | wow that one i totaly forgot about and i saw him do it in concert.it was the seventies so thats my excuse.an interesting note on frank is that the rumor back then was he never had played a guitar but one night he did a hit of acid and when his trip was over he could play instantly like
:eek: jimi hendrix. :eek:
i think it was bullshit because back then a bunch of us tried it a few times and it never worked.ive been free of all of that stuff for over 30 years and i will tell you i still cant play worth a sh%*t. :confused: GWB :confused: |

Location: Tennessee | I have to say that Dave Mason is probably the artist who set me off on my musical journey ... I saw him many times and took to Ovations because of him. He has an incredible catalog of songs and continues to be one of my favorite performers of all time. He tours regularly and is worth seeing if you never have ... he may have lost a step or two but he is a true icon.
Just to bring this back around on topic ... for those of you who are torn between Jimi and Dave as their favorite version, there is one interesting factoid worth noting ... Dave Mason played the acoustic 12 string on Jimi's studio recording of All Along the Watchtower. |

Wow, bobbo I never knew that...what a cool bit of info...I spent a couple of hours watching Mason video's on youtube yesterday...what memories...yeah he's gotten old (just like a lot of us) but he can still play! He was playing a Rainsong 12 on several more recent video's...and his solo's on Watchtower are really fine! |

Location: Round Rock, TX | I have no idea which of the many versions I would prefer if I was coming to it fresh. As it stands, however, every time Jimi's version comes up on the iPod, my monkey bone starts vibrating (and yes, that's a good thing). It's the one I first heard and the only one for a long while. |

Location: Denmark | Many Dylan songs are good also with Dylan. All along the watchtower is one of them. I dont know if I would feel different about it if I had not heard the other versions so many times before hearing Dylans own.
Having just heard Dave Mason's version for the first time my first thought actually was about how much the drumming reminds me of the nice rolling rythm of some of the songs on "461 Ocean Boulevard". |
