All Along the Watchtower "All Along the Watchtower" is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. The song initially appeared on his 1967 album John Wesley Harding, and it has been included on most of Dylan's subsequent greatest hits compilations. Since the late 1970s, he has performed it in concert more than any of his other songs. Different versions appear on four of Dylan's live albums.[1]
Whipping Post (song) "Whipping Post" is a song by The Allman Brothers Band. Written by Gregg Allman, the five-minute studio version first appeared on their 1969 debut album The Allman Brothers Band. The song's full power manifested itself in concert, when it was the basis for much longer and more intense performances.[1][2] This was captured in the Allman Brothers' classic 1971 double live album At Fillmore East,[3] where a 22-minute rendition of the song takes up the entire final side.[4][5] It was this recording that garnered "Whipping Post" spots on both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list[6] and Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".[3]
