Enjoy the sheer freakin' MAJESTY of SRV & Johnny Copeland at Montreux, 1985.

This was a Hank Ballard original. I saw Hank perform it live in San Carlos, CA, opening for Jerry Lee Lewis.

The original is a classic, no doubt about it. But for me, SRV did a "Jimi / All Along The Watchtower" number on it, and took full ownership. I have multiple versions of him performing it, and this one with Johnny Copeland is one of the best. Enjoy.
