Neil Young has long been a fan of Bob Dylan. More than a fan. Neil’s whole trip is inspired by Bob Dylan.
Don’t misunderstand. Young has taken that inspiration and created his own art that is unique.
Young has performed a number of Dylan songs over the years, most recently “Blowin’ in the Wind” at Farm Aid last year and during his recent acoustic shows.
Below are a number of totally rockin’ versions of “All Along the Watchtower.”

This is cool. The fan who shot the footage of Pearl Jam & Co. in Dallas the other night has now put the whole performance online.
Dig it!!
Anthemic version of the already anthemic “Rockin’ in the Free World” performed last night in Dallas during Pearl Jam’s concert. Unfortunately the song cuts off after two and a half minutes. Damn.
Here’s a version from Toronto in 2011 with Neil Young joining Pearl Jam about four minutes into the song.
