I first heard A.A.T.W back in the '80's when U2 covered it on 'Rattle and Hum'.
YouTube - ‪U2 San Francisco 11/11/87 All along the watchtower‬‏
But I prefer Hendrix. All three "Jimi Hendrix Experience" albums are excellent. Voodoo Chile (slight return) is one of my all time fave's. Watch the following vid. It's Hendrix on the Lulu show in '69. On the very day that Cream split up.
