Plus, Trower's work (e.g.: Bridge Of Sighs) was clearly influenced by the work of Hendrix - not the other way around.

Yea, verily I say unto you that this immortal phenomenon briefly incarnated in part as the one and only Jimi Hendrix lives, for he comes alive, and thrashes the life out of my speakers, infuses my freaking plants, rattles the walls and windows with otherworldly vibrations, and makes me wriggle and writhe in sonic ecstasy every time RP puts him on!  Not necessarily STONED, but, uhh...BEAUTIFUL...

 If Trower was a glass of talent, Jimi was an ocean.  Think not ? Just ask Clapton, Page, Beck (Jeff), B.B. King, Van Halen, or Trower himself. Hendrix was in a class of his own, not to be matched by mere mortals.

Two reasons:
1. Jimi headlined first
2. Trower didn't die young
 
3.  Jimi was American, home of the hyper-est-marketing record industry in the world.  There was money to made from a black psychedelic rock-and-roll guitar player, especially after he died from drugs.  Google his music rights and you'll see what I mean.

4.  Trower's catalog doesn't include as wide a variety as Hendrix's. 

(Trower still isn't dead, as of February 5, 2011, when I saw him on stage, although he's got to be pushing 65.)

or maybe they're just not fond of Jimi's brand/style/take of music?

The segue from Billie Holiday was most appreciated. I was fixing dinner (late, it was) and just smiled..."Only on RP, I thought."

this is a solid 7-rating song.

btw, the entire album is inconsistent.too many fillers i.e. Little Miss Strange and 1983...

I thought RP was supposed to be live and DJ mixed? Looks like it might be DJ mixed and recorded. . .

. . . or perhaps Bill is fond of certain sets?

He played like this with his guitar upside down!!!! The R&R Hall of Fame has a great dedication to The Master.

A shame he is gone regardless.

I always wondered what it would have been like had he been around during the music video era!

Not true. Ugly and uninformed aspersion to cast.

If he had been as you describe, no one would have ever heard of him.

He used like a lot of people back then. Accidents can happen.


Be careful out there.

Yikes! The voice is no big deal, but what about that guitar work? No wonder he could carry a song all by himself. Can you imagine how much better he would have been, had he not been f...d up all the time, both on-stage and off?

normally I praise Bill's great flow from song to song;set to set, but a big swing and a miss going from Billie Holiday Ain't Nobody's Business to this.

Historically I've not been able to appreciate Jimi Hendrix at all (I know, I know...my bad) but I kind of like this a bit.

Perhaps there's hope for me yet.
