"Joining the Grateful Dead's repertoire in June 1987, this Bob Dylan classic was worked up during rehearsals for the July 1987 Dylan & The Dead tour. The Dead, however, played it closer to Jimi Hendrix's more famous version, which is to say it was guitar-driven and fierce. Usually appearing in the post-Space, pre-ballad slot, Watchtower was one of the hardest rocking songs of the night whenever the Dead played it." - David Lemieux
