OMG! When i was 17 yrs old, i went to school in seatle. Lived in the Evangeline womens boarding house run by the salvation army. THIS is where i learned about music, listening to jimi hendrix over and over on a little suitcase record player. GOD! This brings back memories!
I must also mention: Jimi was a great songwriter. He’d be so happy his tunes are still so beloved. So insecure. Like all geniuses. Man, this is beautiful
Jason always has beautiful stage sets and has them lit so perfectly. The attention to detail (sound, visual, etc) is top notch. Very much appreciated. Stage guests not bad either :)
That was freakin awesome!! That's my Mike Freakin McCready 🎸one of my favorite lead guitarist!! Incredible performance by everyone! There is some serious guitar playing on that stage 🎸🔥 Thank You so much for this awesome entertaining video!! 😊💓🤘✌️🌹
Mike McCready is the best Guitarist of his generation... Period. His work on Pearl Jam alone would earn that, but toss in Mad Season and Temple of the Dog... Those are 3 of the most important bands of the era. Dude is a MONSTER player.
It's kind of funny, I guess, that I was digging Sadler Vaden's guitar slinging WAY before I had ever heard of Jason Isbell or Mike McCready (but I love them too).
Look up Garry Moore's covers of Jimi's stuff. He did some performance with Mitch Mitchell, and Billy Cox that are historic. May they both rest in peace.
I appreciate the homage, But even SRV and Clapton couldn’t capture the magic and emotion of Jimi.Who could? But , it’s hard to cover songs were every note and inflection is ingrained in the memory of so many people. The good news is , Most of the people who grew up with that music will soon be with Jimi Hendrix and your interpretation will be the one that a new generation has heard for the very first time. Thank You and keep Peter Green , Leslie West and Jeff Beck ‘s memory alive for the next generation.
I don't think you're wrong but I think it's worth nothing that everyone playing the song now plays the Derek & the Dominos version. When was the last time you saw someone play a 3 minute Little Wing? Not to say one is better than the other, it's all built on the foundation Jimi provided, but the D&tD version has arguably been more influential
I’m sure Jimi would have been impressed with SRV’s version and his virtuosity, But Steve Lawrence doing “ My Way” doesn’t make it better. Steve Lawrence was a great singer, But all other versions will never measure up to the original. For that matter, Ella Fitzgerald’s ( arguably the best female singer of all time) version of “ Sunshine of Your Love “ is interesting, but not quite the same.
Sadler's no slouch, either. Thing is, the guys on stage aren't competing. They're making music, and discovering their chemistry. Dig it from that perspective, and you'll have a lot more fun. I promise!
The sound quality of this video is horrific and doesn't even allow one to hear most of the notes being played. What a waste, And I'm not fond of a two-guitar version of this song during the vocal. Jimi spoke with his voice, and guitar as one, and a 2nd guitar just gets in the way.
What do expect from a phone recording in a live show? This is not a studio recording! Would you rather not see any recording of it? What is your point?
