I remember having a daydream about the opening acoustic guitar part of “All Along The Watchtower” ending with a Native American scream and a big native drum on the downbeat. That was the spark to assemble one of our biggest and deepest Songs Around The World. From Beirut to New Orleans to the Lakota Nation, musicians play and sing like a musical army determined to stop suffering and greed all over the world. As a society, we need to get back to our roots and connect deeper with our ancestors and native people in general so we can find the wisdom we need to move forward as a human race. As Jimi Hendrix once said, “If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.”

Playing For Change (PFC) is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band-a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation-a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.

Man, there are just SO MANY beautiful little gems that get stitched together to make this song brilliant. All the different instruments adding their little sparkles here and there, like the sweet sitar fill at 1:06, the two ladies on the violins, or the hollow "rat-tat-tat" drum fill at 2:33, right before that rich syrupy guitar tone kicks in for the solo. Not to mention Roberto's soulful steel slide guitar twang at 3:49. The whole thing just has so much texture and is orchestrated so well, I could listen to this on repeat for hours and still find new things to love about it every time.
@Jason Spot on! The Lakota chant gives me goosebumps ...just a beautiful visual and aural feast. Happy to see John Densmore as well. ❤️
Well stated
The Lakota chanting combined with the spirit this tune exudes had me tearing up instantly and feeling somehow patriotic? Does it get more American" than this?? Also... DENSMORE!!! 🚪🌴 🥁
You put into words just what I was feeling. Thanks.
Just a quick heads up at 1:06 that instrument isn’t a sitar it’s a Veena
I'm old as dirt, heard and seen just about everybody. The Playing For Change vids are pretty humbling. So many musicians around the world hitting on the same groove....music!
its funny, i have a friend who plays music, loves music i guess, but i play playin for change and he just starts suggesting other things before even listening, strange
What’s your full name pm
I like the playing for change videos. I wish I was tech savvy enough to join in, but it’s kind of beyond my expertise, not the music, the video linkup stuff.

-Jimi Hendrix
This was not at all said by Jimi. I'm Jimi's fan and I can assure that this wasn't said by him.
Well, whoever said it hit the nail on the head.
@@ashishpanwar909 pretty sure it was originally from Sri Chinmoy
Amen brother, Amen
Power of Hash. And Acid won
Every time I watch a PFC video I'm reminded that humanity ain't all bad.
AMEN brudda...... Where amongst so many PFC Gems, Robbie Robertson's _"The Weight"_ is but another *World As One* "reminder"... TOO. ⛩
th-cam.com/video/ph1GU1qQ1zQ/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=PlayingForChange ☮
I am instead reminded how bad humanity is.
@@StratusBlue And how far we have to go.
without it it's bad
All of the Playing For Change videos make me cry, I don't know, they just get in there and touch something visceral.
After watching the news, which brings me despair, I turn to Playing for Change, which brings me hope.
My thought exactly, Thea!
🙂
Mueller gave us hope yesterday.
thank You Thea Hartman
This is news for me, especially as main stream media has gone all fake and weird lately.
I am 71. When I saw Hendrix do this song, I was 17.
yes--me too. NY is the BEST! IMHO. He is #1. won the Grammy for this BTW
At 70 years old, so glad i have lived to see this tune preformed by so much talent. Well done to all and Warren thank you for always blessing us with your soulful voice and sweet guitar
Amen! Brother!!! Loved Warren Haynes and Gov't Mule for like 20 + years!!!!!❤❤❤ Great to see him on the Playing for Change video!!!!
I've watched this dozens of times, it always makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Just amazing music.
best ever
I love how our bros, neighbor The Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe (Native American, Indigenous Ppl, USA) was a part of this amazing song, using their sacred drum. We're the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes from Owyhee, NV/ID, God bless all*
God bless you, your people & All Native Americans with the I hope that we never forget or lose the sprite & love of the land that your people cherish. While I am white & live in New Zealand, the indigenous people here, the Maori, have had a similar fight to preserve their right to live & culture but unlike many they have fought the good fight & have won the right to preserve their culture & language as an important part of New Zealand. I wish that success for you & all Native American Peoples
This Watchtower is incredible. Bob and Jimi are smiling somewhere!
I want to live in the world that all of you are playing for💗
In this hard times, with war and crimes aganist the human rights for everywhere, that is all we need...people of every place in the world singin together for peace
Who the hell downvoted this? It’s cookin’❤️
The voice of the Lakota grabs my spine and snaps it like a whip.
Yes the chants and drumming of the Lakota and Warren's Les Paul make the high alert muscles flex in my neck and back. How primordial and instinctively survival is that. Like a wolf hunting prey while simultaneously being hunted by man.
Yes same here!
Yes so beautiful!
Agreed
Like a Yoko Ono alarm clock....ugh.
How could anyone NOT like these videos produced by Playing For a Change. All spectacular. All of the talented people from around the world.
Thank you for your wonderful support! If you'd like to know more about our project and what we do, please visit this link: www.playingforchange.com/home2
We appreciate your amazing support!
Thank you for bringing the world a little closer together with music. BTW, for you youngsters (anyone under 65), John Densmore was the drummer for The Doors.
Thanks for that info. he looked impressive.
Bcoz i am an older man in his 70's who has always luv good music and to hear it from so many great singers and musicians i have to agree this is one of the best works of art ever done to this awesome song!!!!!
Agree 💯
I hope you have listened to their version of "When the Levee Breaks" as it a masterful exhibition of performers & orchestration of that tallent.
I agree best version of this song PERIOD.
This would bring Jimi and Bob to tears of gratitude and appreciation. This is special, amazing and glorious on so many levels. This is the ray of light we've been waiting for to shine down on us and give us the hope we need for healing. Thank You.
There so much to say about all this but one word says it all Beautiful
Jimi maybe.
👍💖👍
Hallelujah David. 🙏
Yes David, this one and Teach the children well hit me the hardest. Tears of joy and rage flow through me as I watch and listen.
That positively the coolest watch tower
I heard Jimi play this live...never thought anyone could do it justice...I was wrong......powerful!!......gracias to all
Whoever is doing the mixing and editing for these has amazing talent.
Indeed
Man, no kidding, phenomenal
Pure perfection!
Well I didn’t know it was edited so ya agreeeeee for aheeezeeey
No they just have a lot of time and their ear is shit...or I need new ear buds and to bypass the Lakota singing. Love the Lakota and their singing is beautiful but didn't mesh to me.
John Densmore, still being the man...always glad to see him playing.
I mean, they just gonna sneak him in there and think no one's gonna notice I guess.
That was so beautiful way to go including so many nationalities we are 1 family
Someone please tell me who edits these masterpieces. They should get a Nobel peace prize.
I believe it’s Robbie Robertson’s son. Incredible stuff isn’t it!!
@@drjimjam1112 Yes it is!
Brooooooooo i was not ready for the native lady in the begining that was toooo on point this is my favorite take on this legendary song i grew up on this my dad was a marine in vietnam and he says this song got him home safe
That's a native man....
I get chills every time I watch.
Every time I hear Warren Haynes lend his voice to somebody else's song he bring a whole new dimension to it.
I have read many, many of the comments and I did not notice a single one that mentioned the Louis Mhlanga you know the guy playing guitar from Zimbabwe. Plug in your headphones, turn it up and listen to how he carries the song on his back. The guy is friggen awesome. He is in your right ear and never leaves.
Yeah, he is amazing, especially when you watch the Playing for a Change Life Performances. He brings it everytime.
Thanks for all your comments this day ! Yes you make a difference of awareness 🌍🌎👍✌️🙏👋💕✊🔥🇺🇸💡🌎💥🎶🎉👋
his solo in "What's Up" from jan 2012 stands as one of the all-time best ever
Yes, LOUIS IS PHENOMENAL!!! SO much soul and skill! On point!
I hit rewind right after he came in, to see who that was
The Lakota voice is unbelievable. Primal. ❤️❤️❤️
he sounds a lot like Bob Dylan
I thought it was yoko ono.
Fantastic!!
I went to camp Lakota in upstate New York
It was mind opening, like a clarion to "pay attention, dummy!"!!
I’d pay endless amounts of money for an entire album of Billy Branch playing that harmonica with that tone. So hauntingly beautiful.
Absolutely inspiring!!
I love how this song incorporates Native American singers in the mix, giving it such raw power. Nicely balanced mix and creatively interpreted.
Right i had no idea how mutch this already perfect song was still missing
It incorporates mercilessly exterminated peoples. It lacks the Chinese who were flooded with opium. But maybe next time.
I could listen to these around the world collaborations all day every day! They give me a picture of what the world could be like if we were all as inclusive as musicians.
Yes!
The Native American guy is my hero.
At 73 years old I am beyond grateful that I have been able to witness this rendition of one of the greatest songs of all time.
I love the addition of the native American voices!
When the lakota singers come in I get chills every time.
Yea, who knew Yoko Ono was a Lakota?
Am I the only one who had a little tear in the corner of the eye? Brilliant and moving....
No, you're not alone. I love Bob Dylan's poetry and this is the best version I ever heard ❤️🍀
Definitely not alone. Devastatingly brilliant cover of one of the most powerful songs ever written.
Never has it resonated so much as it does now.
No, you are not alone brother.
beautiful singing and musicianship on this song. I don't know anyone else, especially today, who could write this song like Bob Dylan. The story is based on stories of The Old Testament.
Very Rarely does anyone get this song right. It's way way harder as a group. Once again Proving that there is still magic in the world
This is so great. Got tears rollin down. The Greatest Song Ever played by the people of the world. This is so moving.
I'm with you on that one brother.
A song to unite all. X
Yep this is only my 1253 times listening to it ...
Tears every time. Just so beautiful. The Indian scream and the drum circle resonates soo deeply with me. Everyone plays such a unique role on this song. So wonderful to get vibes from all over the world! 🤘🏻♥️✌🏻
rIGHT ON bRO'!!!
I limit myself to three PFC band tunes a day= Teach your children live and Everyday People are my other faves.
3:42... And the wind began to howl... Cyrill Neville and Warren Haynes split screen... just WOW!!!
EXACTLY Dennis! I knew this would be good but it just blew me away when I saw those guys. Got to give Ivan his props too. And John Densmore at Venice Beach...seriously. I LOVE Venice Beach.
Yeah Bro , just awesome
@@blondti480 I'd love to experience Venice Beach before I kick. Please enjoy it for me, k?
@@blondti480 they have exploded our spirits. wowwww
No doubt! 💯
#justwow
Me before clicking on this video a couple of years ago: pfff... How original, another cover of this song.
Boy did swallow my own words. Tremendously done.
Same boat, here. Put my foot in mouth over those words.
My grandmother was full blooded Cherokee and when I hear the Native American singing it seems to hit a cord in me. I'm not sure how to describe it. I do love it though very talented folks here. Playing For Change is totally Awesome. Thank you all for this wonderful music and God Bless You all.
I love how world-famous musicians are introduced the same as everybody else. Reminds you that just because a lot of people know your name, that doesn't make you more special than anybody else. 8)
@@RobertIsraelKabakoff How so?
@Rocco Lore I'm not denying some musicians in the video are far more famous than others. The (admittedly vague) question I was asking was regarding Robert's claim that fame = superiority.
You my friend 😁perfect mistake los con dias
Indian Musician nailed it with the Sitar and that screaming guy just gives chills
Yes although the kid he was holding in arms looked a little non plused...ha ha later he will understand how talented his father is,
jake linton you are spiritually constipated
I think that's a Saraswati Veena rather than a Sitar.
you nailed it @@baruc8 Tansi
That screaming guy looks to me like an amazing
CREE TRADITIONAL POW WOW drummer & singer
Those lovely babies hear & dance with the drum before they are born FATHOM THAT and keep that boogie 4 change
alive and traveling en todo el mundo shalomAlaikum aho
Screaming guy is Ono's cousin
WHOAAAA! A reason to get excited.... this song is freaking awesome 👌
Amazing music covers ! And don't miss "The Weight" and "When the Levee Breaks" (this one has the most stunning visuals ever) !
Love this I'm German Irish Cherokee and English. Nice to see native American people in these too
Imagine what the world could do if we just worked together.
The native Americans group was absolutely incredible
So moving and powerful!
This is the best cover of this great song I've ever heard ❤
Never heard this song performed better.
If this doesn't give you chills, you're dead inside.
Once THE GREAT MUSICAL TREASURE that is Bob heard Jimi cover "All Along The Watchtower", Bob humbly said that Jimi probably improved on the song. Bob so liked Jimi's version that Bob has continued to perform his own song in the fashion Jimi did it because it is so fantastic, and as a musical tribute to Jimi. "All Along The Watchtower" is the best cover song ever, imho. Kudos to Bob for his writing, singing and playing genius, AND to the few who really do this AMAZING song justice. That would include JIMI #1 and Playing For Change. PLAYING FOR CHANGE are fantastic musicians. I'm guessing the much alive today Bob, and Jimi both would approve of PLAYING FOR CHANGE's cover here.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I look forward to hearing every song put out by PLAYING FOR CHANGE. So Good! Thanks!!!!!!!!!🎸🎵✌
Jimi heard the Alan Bowns version and cut his great track Playing for change is such a cool version
Bob does a cover of a cover of his own song.
the truth is; Jimi Hendrix was the most overrated guitarist in musical history
@@rockyhenz3607 You really need to get your head out of your ass.
@@rockyhenz3607 if you think that then you know nothing about guitar
Warren Haynes is as great as it gets for me! Everything he does is magic. The other musicians and the song itself are epic, but damn does that man steal the show. So much goes into his playing.
Great Song With a Great Performance. That kid at the very end With the tiny drum was the best part!!! Give It a Listen and check it out. Thanks for the likes and comments
OK, I've watched this through about 5 times now. Awesome, inspired performances, everyone, and the mixing/editing is just mad good. The only performance that consistently sends chills down my spine are the Lakota drummers and singers. Whoever decided to invite them to the party THANK YOU! What a gift!
Only 5 you need to catch up ❤
This one is one of my favorites in the Playing For Change series but to be honest, close your eyes & when the Lakota singer starts, tell me you didn't think Yoko Ono didn't sneak in...
The depth of intelligence at all levels of this project is inspirational. Do work like this.
Absolutely brilliant, I love this!
Agreed on the Lakota people!
One is never completely grown up until they die without prejudice .
tuned and united. uncut. beeee yond
Moonone
And with music, we are all one.
The sage unlearns something everyday..meaning drop your preconceptions of the world and you will be finally wise.
Thank you, I’m getting this as a tattoo now
The Neville brothers are fantastic!
As always!
Tht kid's smile at the end says it all!
"Let us not talk falsely now; THE HOUR IS GETTING LATE!" --- Bob Dylan
It is.
@@jonashjerpe7421 Thanks for your comment. The rise of Bolsonaro, Duterte, Boris Johnson, Erdogan, et. al., is very discouraging and the truth seems to get more scarce every day. We in the U.S. have our hands full trying to stop Trump from establishing a dictatorship. But yes, I am Swedish; my father emigrated from western Finland in 1923. I visited Stockholm once --- about 40 years ago. Peace be with you.
Larry , you are deep brother
Jonas, I have a dear friend who is a "follower" of Trump and it seems to me her behavior and defensive positioning, her inability to hear anything negative said about him, is of a cult characteristic, like unto Branch Davidians and some Buddhist cults. So, to diagnose Trump followers accurately I think you would need to look at the characteristics of people in cults. Trumpers, as she calls herself, are people who willingly fall inline behind their messiah who, as you point out, leads them in their quest to fulfill their narcissism and other general delusions.
Thank God its 2021 now, a beautiful new year 😊🙏♥️🌏🌟
Jimmy would LUV this....he was a man of peace....
Jimi perhaps?
@@Bigaam ha...lol! My brother in law is Jimmy!
Wow, what an incredible video, I must have watched it fifty times already.
So great to hear from the Nevelle Brothers,,,! Been 40 years since? What a beautiful package this is to open every day,,,
From The first time I saw this video, I have now been watching it many times a day every day. It has been lifting my spirits, call me my mind, inspiring hope in me, Enriching my world and daily life. Thank all of you so so much. I’ve been recommending this video to anyone who will listen.
how can someone not like this?
The Sioux and Warren Haynes sent chills all over!! This was beautiful!
So good to see John from the Doors. Another legend gone too soon.
My grandfather was 100 percent Navajo and would have loved this song,it's on of my favorites! Great job guys I'm fancy dancing in my living room. Yep yep !
"Fancy dancing" Brilliant!
Playing For Change music videos are just the BEST
The effect of having so many different cultural voices and musicians rising into one powerful chorus is astounding, and is nothing like anything I have ever heard. This is a huge example of what we, as a global family of human beings, can achieve if we could all just get along.
The Sioux singers are fantastic, hell , they all are.
I have one complaint: It ain't long enough. :)
It’s never enough when it’s that good ✌️❤️
That's what she said.
@tradie 4theladies funny yes more cowbells!
A 245 on that one...
Play it on repeat. You're welcome.
That video gave me chills.
2:34 John Densmore of the doors.
Yes. We've already established he played for with the Doors, and that indeed is a song that he played on. He also played on ALL of there other songs.
@@jerrysmith2354 I learn so much here sometimes, I thought JD only played on 11 of their songs.
Playing for Change are a real life force. Their videos are moving, exciting and beautifully filmed. The music gives me goosebumps.
I Play and sing Janis Joplin Summertime. And one day i spread my Wings and fly. Cause my Soul BE longs tojesus the devil cant byi me i give my. Music my Soul for
Freedom
Excellent. All the way around.
whoever engineered this is brilliant
How can we be so gifted
So incredibly talented
So intelligent
Yet look and treat each other with so much hatred.
I wonder this everyday . How can we be both evil and good,blessed and wretched.
intelligent ?
Of all the songs in this series, this is the one I have returned to, again and again. As close to perfection as mortal musicians ever get. This is the new standard for what this great song can be.
Ok, so I’ve been a fan of Jimi’s version since day one, but this is simply freaking awesome.
I agree. I enjoyed this video very much. So much feeling!
This is good, U2'S VERSION GREAT!!!
this version is KILLER !!
@@gs_barry Those of us who might not have known the provenance of the song were aided by the title, but to be fair I don’t think he was the sole influence of Jimi, or other artists of the times - a lot of cross pollination was taking place.
Bob Dylan poem.
There are many here among us, how feel that life is but a joke. So true
This song is so fitting now. I grew up during Nam. A lot of Marines who survived that war I ran with. I was a lot younger than them but they still look so young. I guess they we're so battle scarred GOD left them to relive what they lost.
The Lakota singer beginning this song..."wake up, wake up". Thank you.
That's some powerful Harmonica! And Rajhesh from Chennai on the Sitar killed it!
The sitar is fantastic, especially seeing that it can only play 4 notes !!!
Bruce Farris You seem to have confused it with a different instrument.
Not a sitar, it’s a Saraswati veena from south India.
How does ANYONE "dislike" this? ~ It defies all grace, humanity, and the beauty of everyone working together.
The best examples of how music brings people together from every background.
Every year that goes by, this song makes more and more sense to me.
Ginger Baker passed today , seeing John Densmore made me smile !
A Dylan classic, reinterpreted so powerfully...... fantastic!
I’m not crying….I just got something in my eye !!!!!
Playing for Change..
Fabulous Thank you, 🦋🐝 Ali.✌💙
The whole series is like a epic poem to the art of editing....
To get this many performers, of this many countries, of this many musical styles... to say nothing of the individual baggage the song itself evokes from the performers... is just incredible. I take absolutely nothing away from the performers. You gotta have your act together to be asked to do this thing, after all.
But it took real skill to knit all this together into such an incredible whole.
Good work good job.
They've done some great work. Check out the Robbie Robertson- Ringo collab on "The Weight" good stuff!
Everyone of these that I've watched just take my breath away...
Fabolous artists! Thank-you.
True... Awesome talent all around!
What an awesome idea. The whole world playing as one...And they say ....we can`t get along!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oooooh yea. at 66 in 2022. one of the precious soul.Motown songs. the song of my glorious youth. it still makes my soul trip and my heart smile. this is gonna be one of my funeral songs. I want everyone to stand up and sing. and I will be singing along with them oooh yes.
I have worked many years as a Personal Protection Agent for multiple celebrities over the years including many top musicians and I have heard some great music over the years but Playing For Change absolutely amazes me !
Don't worry about all those who don't like it.
They obviously don't know a good thing when they see it and hear it.
The one thing I'm astounded by is the choice of parts. Each person played this song the whole way through then they piece this together with the best played parts that fit together. the way these seemingly non-complementary instruments meld together is amazing. you'd never think a sitar, african drum, native american drums and song and an electric guitar would work together, but that's the beauty of music...
And that's the power of an engineer.
@@chuckaudio3191 and a good producer too... But yes. The sound engineer did an excellent job of mixing the tracks together.
Music is music 😁
Also that was a veena btw. Small distinction. Not a sitar.
@@shrayesraman5192 Exactly. Saraswati veena from south India.
Good morning from Vancouver British Columbia Canada
Incredible, moving and powerful. If music can bring us together, regardless of our differences, play on! Play on!
This is the One that will be played when I go back to were I came from🙏💕
Remember, with joy and anticipation, My first encounter with Our True Mother Ayahausca..... Love life, it Will too soon be over..... Love & Respect all worldcitizen out there... Bless YOU regardless of Your belife system❤️
