Pure, basic, stripped-down blues rock from a master of the genre. Unbeatable. 9 from the bluesy Nottingham jury.

Oh yeah! This one following Ben Harper who did really a good cover of Red House. Not a ten like this one, but a solid eight. Listen to Ben Harper and Relentless7 @ Montreal International Jazz Festival 2009.

Yes, the mathematics of the situation say that there are more dead musicians than live ones. So, a varied collection should have more dead artists than live ones. If it doesn't, go back and find what artists inspired the ones you like. I heard Henry Rollins give a shout-out to Mississippi Fred McDowell. *mind blown*

Great song, indeed.  The best version I know of appears on his little know live album Hendrix in the West. .That version is incendiary

another terrific song from Jimi.  Bluesy and rock and acid-rock and jazzy.

Jimi ...

Another artist whose albums were different depending on the country of release.  This was on the English version of Are You Experienced but not on the American.  We were robbed back then.  Better albums overseas and better quality vinyl.  The Beatles are another example of this back then, too.

What a relief to listen to this after Roy Harper. Gather round for Hendrix, Harper fans!

One of the few versions of tunes that are markedly better live than studio — and in the case of this one, that's really saying something.

Saw Jimi at the Bank Street theatre, I think 1969. He said he was having equipment troubles and was going to jam on a new song that had been working to work on the kinks. This was the song he played. It was an old theatre. Subway trains were coming out of his amp. Junk of the ceiling were falling down. That was my first rock and roll concert.

No just that time when you were open to new things — which was more than 50 years ago.

Can't you offer a special 'plus 10' category? You know, for the Wolfgangs and Birds of the world, whose light shines twice as bright but only half as long?

For those of us who actually heard Jimi in concert, live, we will carry that experience of hearing and seeing until we are dust in the wind.  When Jimi was jumping with the 82d Airborne, it's said that he would go out the door singing some screaming tuneless tune .... Ah, he is with the Gods of Music now dancing and making music on the Eternal Congo Square.

I have to agree with you.  I don't like the term "genius"; I think it's been overused.  But I really think Jimi Hendrix deserved the label.

Ah 1969 again.  Say Jimi at the Bank Street Theatre in Ottawa. Said he was having equipment problem and wanted to jam it out to fix things up and he broke into this song. Chunks of the ceiling were falling down, subway trains were crossing the stage, what the hell kind of craziness was this. Fantastic!

This is the song where Jimi prooves that he can play the blues with the best of them. It is up there with the songs of BB King,Muddy,Wolf and Buddy Guy!

There is no way to rate this below a "10." Just an awesome tune that Jimi made his own.


Agreed with the first part, but this tune was Hendrix's. He wrote it.

This is the only song that I remember the first time I heard it and where I was at that moment. It blew me away. I think because I could tell how much more it was than just another 12 bar blues tune.

A while back, a band named "Mona's Gravy" did an admirable job playing this in a St. Cloud bar. After ripping out this song, some douche-bag from St. Johns (a private, cake eating college two towns over) screamed out, "play some Jimi Hendrix".

Just another of a long line of anecdotes depicting how clueless and sheltered those who go to private schools can be.

And now, forever more, I will think of this ridiculous moment every time I hear this song.

I love this version so much more than the other one that usually appears on reissues of Are You Experienced... Jimi's solo on here is so much more fiery and undiluted by that echo effect on the other.

This version is the one that was on my Dad's old (mono!) UK version of the Are You Experienced LP.
