- Watch Randy Hansen and his band perform Jimi Hendrix's "1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)" from Electric Ladyland, the greatest album in rock history.
Randy Hansen, guitar virtuoso and one of the few guitarists in the world to be recognised by the Hendrix family played at QPAC in Brisbane on 31st May, 2016. He brought his explosive guitar interpretations reminiscent of all that was breath taking and spellbinding about Jimi Hendrix.
Randy Hansen, the Seattle-born firebrand, has been stunning audiences worldwide with his explosive homage since the 1970s. He has even unleashed his uncanny virtuosity and dazzling charisma alongside Hendrix’s own former bandmates, Mitch Mitchell, Noel Redding and Buddy Miles. Over 40 years, he has shared stages with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Steve Miller, Paul Rodgers, Sammy Hagar, Herbie Hancock, Robert Cray and Bob Seger. He has been acclaimed by Eddie Van Halen and Eddie Vedder and released more than a dozen albums including Hendrix by Hansen.
Why this was recommened to me just today? Absolute epic masterpiece by Jimi and flawlessly represented by Randy. Thank you for sharing, Ben.
Fantastic, never thought I'd hear and see a live performance of such perfection ... thanks Randy. I'm 70 and still love Jimis music
This guy Hansen is the best Hendrix sound alike I've heard.
Damn near to Jimi's album version. Amazing use of tech.
Incredible isn’t it.
if you cover you can go 2 ways; true to the original or youré own version.
True to the original takes guts if youré covering the best.
Hansen nails it; sound, intensity, technique, feel, improv, the works; inmense respect !!!
Randy is the man 😀
this track has been making the hair on my back and arms stand up since I first heard it when I was 14 so that is 54 years, these guys are spot on !
This was incredible absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥💗❤️✨
Randy and the band were incredible…it was a real moment.
@@iambenslater I know this music and what he did was scary sometimes because it sounded like jimi sometimes 😳😯☮️❤️🔥✨
Wow - that was a fun show. I wish we could come back to Australia and play an other tour. Thanks for posting.
ufowalter Wow! Thanks for commenting! It was an incredible show...thank you!
ufowalter Oh, and I am sure you would all be welcome back any time 👍🏾
Every time I listen to Randy and his band I dream like I was on Jimi’s presence! It sounds perfect, just as the Jimi’s records. Hopefully someday I will be at those shows (living in South America makes it difficult but not impossible)!
please comeback and play in adelaide,i have to see randy before its too late..
A lot of us Aussies wish you could come back to., I went to a show in Brisbane, it was awesome.
Talent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing, i love it. Greetings from germany.
A MASTERPIECE PLAYED ,interpreted,sung BY RANDY SO WELL ... HE MUST BE POSSESSED I JIMI IS IN HIm
This is what Hendrix didn't live long enough to figure out: how to deliver it all onstage.
Amazing cover.
I have read that Jimi never performed this song live, and I don't believe I have ever seen a clip of him doing it either over all the years I have been searching and watching Jimi's videos. An amazing performance Randy. Saw a performance you and the band did in Brisbane a few years ago. Took my daughter who was brought up on Jimi's music and similar. She could not believe how great you are and how much you sound like him.
I can hear Atlantis full of cheer...
70 years old and I'm in tears-----thankyou RANDY
I saw Randy and the guys at the Palais in Melbourne, a great show. This performance is stunning, to play 1983 live and spot on!
Hallelujah
Fantastic cover Randy !! Live😎
Ya know, I started learning how to play this a few days ago. My favorite Hendrix song. Amazing rendition!
Amen!
Great cover version .not very many good covers of this song Thanks Rhandy
Cant see zht. Randy loves us.
I wish I could have seen this. Just down the road. Had no idea haha
🎸🎼👌
...the Electric Guitar..A’s an instrument of High Art..Shamanic Spiritual Journeying 🐝🌈💫
wow Ben hope he makes it back to oz
Hooray, I awake from yesterday
Alive but the war is here to stay
So my love, Katherina and me
Decide to take our last walk
Through the noise to the sea
Not to die but to be reborn
Away from a life so battered and torn
Forever, forever
Oh, say can you see, it's really such a mess
Every inch of earth is a fighting nest
Giant pencil and lipstick tube-shaped things
Continue to rain and cause screaming pain
And the Arctic stains
From silver blue to bloody red
As our feet find the sand and the sea
Is straight ahead, straight up ahead
Well, it's too bad, that our friends can't be with us today
Well, that's too bad
"The machine that we built would never save us"
That's what they say
(That's why they ain't coming with us today)
And they also said
"It's impossible for man to live and breathe underwater forever"
Was their main complaint
(Yeah)
And they also threw this in my face, they said:
"Anyway, you know good and well
It would be beyond the will of God
And the grace of the King"
Grace of the King, yeah, yeah
So my darling and I make love in the sand
To salute the last moment ever on dry land
Our machine has done its work, played its part well
Without a scratch on our bodies and we bid it farewell
Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile
Before our heads go under, we take a last look
At the killing noise of the out of style
The out of style, out of style
So down and down and down and down
And down and down we go
Hurry, my darling, we mustn't be late for the show
Neptune champion games to an aqua world is so very dear
Right this way, smiles a mermaid
I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
Atlantis full of cheer
I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
