This is a cover of a Bob Dylan song made famous by Jimi Hendrix. Said Bono: "What other band in our position would learn the chords of 'All Along The Watchtower' five minutes before they went on-stage, play it live and record it ? No one."
U2 recorded this live at the Embarcadero Center in San Francisco in 1987. It kicked off what Bono called the "Save The Yuppie" concert, in honor of the stock market crash the month before.
The Edge's guitar intro was not recorded at the concert and had to be dubbed in later.
