| keller1 (In A Gadda Da Vida, Baby) | Posted: Sep 27, 2010 - 13:24 Clapton is tired, bored and out of ideas, and it shows in this lethargic version of one of the all time great tunes. Ho effin hum. |
| silverfingers (Auckland New Zealand) | Posted: Sep 08, 2010 - 19:59 Why is it we don't hear the other versions? |
| martinc (Ottawa Canada) | Posted: Aug 26, 2010 - 13:35 I'd like to see these guys play together ... This version of the band would be pretty amzing group of musicians. Yeah this song ain't jimi or stevie but who is. I like it and the guitar /keyboard interplay is well done. |

| ziakut (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Aug 26, 2010 - 13:33 Ok...oh...ok...look...how many times do we have to hear this covered by various artists? Though it's not a bad version...I've heard this blasted tune so many damn times..I'm starting to like it less. I like the older original versions of this tune...but these two mediocre, wealthy musicians don't cut it. Not by a long shot. I'm sure those EC or SW fans will gobble this up as 'tasty'. I think it's shrill filler! |

| rodfear | Posted: Aug 07, 2010 - 19:20 The worst version of this amazing song. |

For that matter, I don't think Winwood is hurting either. So, if you want great blues, listen to their early stuff or someone else's. The rest of us will just be glad he's still alive and able to pluck a string, thank you.  |

| Papernapkin (Mountain View, CA) | Posted: May 04, 2010 - 09:07 This sounds like a dirge—and not even a fun one. Time to switch to Pandora. |

I think the version on "Layla and other..." was better. At least it was recorded near the time of Hendrix' death, so EC probably had some real emotion put in the tune. |

| katzendogs (Houston) | Posted: Apr 02, 2010 - 17:02 Now there's a flashback from the past! |
| Susan_Ssun | Posted: Mar 20, 2010 - 12:39 Kudos to anyone brave enough to tackle this song. When Jimi sang this, his voice was really light, and not at all weighty - like this is. |
| bluedot (Long Beach, CA) | Posted: Mar 13, 2010 - 22:29 Wow...I wish Jimi was alive to hear this...or even Stevie... |

| Bleyfusz | Posted: Feb 20, 2010 - 02:08 The original is light as a feather. This one, heavy with pathos, does not take off. |

| Strider | Posted: Feb 10, 2010 - 09:08 Sting's version of this song f-ing blows! Not that this is a great version but Sting's is a terrible, self indulgent, piece of crap. |

I saw some of this on TV and had no idea Winwood played guitar, let alone that he totally kicks ass on it. Winwood is one of those guys who plays lots of instruments well. Aside from his well-known keyboard work, he plays guitar, bass, mandolin, and probably some others I am not aware of. And it seems he plays them all very well. Go back to some of his albums all the way to Traffic and check out the credits. You'll see. |

I saw some of this on TV and had no idea Winwood played guitar, let alone that he totally kicks ass on it. Just a guess, but I would suspect that Hammond organ you hear is being played by Winwood, and the kick ass guitar is being played by Clapton. Unless they decided to play a "switch show." Then again, Chris Stainton also played keyboard, so maybe Winwood was playing guitar. Don't know. Anyone have the DVD? |

This music pumps through your blood as easily as oxygen, and does wonders for the soul. Anyone who would comment "yuck" to this could perhaps use a 101 remedial course in ROCK AND ROLL. Hmm, blues rock I'd say - no 'roll' in this or many other Hendrix numbers. I don't think this cover is a patch on the Hendrix version (I'm guessing Jimi's came first), not least because Clapton, whilst a sh1t-hot blues guitar player, is a rubbish singer. 5 from the Nottingham jury for this version, 8 for the Hendrix version, 9 for the Hamsters version. |
