2 hendrix stories.

I saw Hendrix at Brown U in Oct of 68 I think (kind of hazy if you know what I mean) Jimi smashes his guitar at the end of the last set and I am right in front of the stage. I picked up about 1/4 of the busted Strat he was playing. I later traded it for an unmentionable substance.

In 1979 I was given Noel Redding's play list from the Montery Pop Festival. I had it for about 6 or 7 year and sold it for $200. Wish I had it now. I bet it's worth a fortune

Here is a decent & recent remake of this song from a recent TV series. The video shows pieces from the show but the song is cool... Playing it right now

Is it a newer Star Trek or something ?

I think that the best cover ever of a Hendrix tune was Little Wing, off the Layla album, by Derek and the Dominoes. Duane Allman soars on guitar. Clapton isn't too shabby, either ;)

Well no disrespect to jimi...but Dave Matthews band kicks ass on this song...there's about 35 versions of this live on utube and there's one with an electric violin solo somewhere too that is WOWEE :kewl:

I prefer Dave Mason's version but not by much over Mr. Hendrix's version.
