Thank you for this post. I am enjoying the show at home! Chris Layton still has the goods after all these years. Imagine SRV still with us at this show...
The Experience Hendrix tour really needs someone to deliver the goods Some of the most reputable guitarists in the world are playing at this Hendrix tribute show And most of them are BLOWING IT! Randy Hansen deserves to be on that stage!
Randy is awesome. He sounds and looks like Hendrix more than anyone. But you aren’t looking at this properly: these are all artists playing here that have made a musical career playing their own songs. Hendrix’s may have been an influence for these players, but they didn’t make an entire career out of imitating Hendrix. Hanson SHOULD sound more like Hendrix than any of these guys, because he has spent his entire life doing a Hendrix tribute show.
It's not easy. There's a handful of guys that really get it, the same ones who are fans like Eric Johnson. You know that guy goes home and listens to Jimi.
I have never been able to get into KWS. However, after watching him here, especially during Voodoo Chile, I think it is time to I gave him another try.
kick arse show, Jimi had a big smile for sure .. he's all over Seattle, cap hill, pioneer square, alki, renton, south center, burien, white center, magnolia, ballard, parkers ballroom, everywhere . . .
Watching this you realize how great Hendrix was! Not one of these very top tier talented acts comes close the vibe, raw energy, swagger and his pure artistry. That's how innovative and original he was! Great songwriter, sonically innovative, soulful vocals ,incredible guitar player, killer rhythm player. The guitar was an extension of his body, mind and soul. One of kind!
@@williamb.8059 Hendrix was a black man B4 ANYTHING, and having more of that black presence in his music, at "Experience Hendrix" is VERY important. His music is Desired by all, but 2 say Jimi's music was not about race is BS because Jimi himself wanted more black folk in the audience, and even tried 2 do benefit gigs 4 the Black Panthers.
Today is September 21. Tomorrow, they play in Reno, Nevada. I have nosebleed seats. Hopefully the sound is better. Im really looking forward to seeing taj mahal live. Im 65 and always missed his shoes before.
I like that they have some of the best guitar players out there playing. I know they have some that come in for a few days when their tours permit. I'm hoping to see some footage of Taj Farrant when he plays in a couple of weeks.
Perhaps due to the proximity of the guitar box, more in Master Taj Mahal's performance, the vocals were affected! But, it was worth it for the historical record! Very good! Jimi is alive and well!
I agree, Taj’s vocals were particularly quiet, and I think you are correct, there are some drawbacks to being right at the edge of the stage, like amp placement. It was a dream to see a legend play though. Rock on!
Hendrix wasn't just about him though Noel Redding and especially Mitch Mitchell helped give him his sound. Mitchell used to go off and here the rhythm section was holding back, just my take!
The difference between Hendrix and all these players is simple. These guys play guitar... Jimi fused with the guitar, it was part of his body and soul.
Seems like Kenny W. Shephard and Noah Hunt have been performing these tunes all along...Very at ease and in the moment ,where some other performances were a bit tentative maybe?
Nobody touches Kenny Wayne Shepherd. I went to see the show live years ago and he did voodoo child and it was like Hendrix was there. It was the most unbelievable thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
Yeah, sound usually sucks up close, there was a speaker right next to my face. I enjoy both views but couldn't pass up a chance to see so many great guitarists up close. Glad you got to see the show in person, rock on!
Let's all do what have to do to get RANDY HANSEN PLAY A BIG SHOW IN SEATTLE. .......JUS OUT OF RESPECT !!!! COME ON PEOPLE !!! BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. PLEASE SOMEBODY CAN DO IT.
not sure why zakk wylde was there after recently doing a video calling jimi "the model T of guitar or A don't remember critiquing his speed, I saw jimi twice and zakk is even dumber than he looks jimi was amazing in "every way live" and does a tribute with over the top speed licks
Eric's own strats have hotter pickups. As great as it is to see Jimi's real Woodstock strat, the tone is better out of his. I love watching Eric get into it, blows everybody off the stage.
Years ago they had Mitch Mitchell, Chas Chandler, Billy Cox as support band for everyone including Randy Hansen on guitar for last set. Amazing. Wow the lack of preparation on some of this is unforgivable.Felt bad for Eric Johnson, but why not at least work stuff out before, or just not do it at all rather than trying to sing a song you cannot remember? Nothing more annoying than people in audience who wont shut the heck up the whole time.
Axis seems rushed as Johnson can barely get his words out-and he seems very nervous singing this one-but his playing is an excellent study of Jimi's attack.
Really pleased with themselves at the startup of I Don't Live Today, but it was shite! Total non-start, which is doubly sad because Sheppard was doing well before that.
Good playing but dreadful sound - guitar is buried below the rhythm section for the most part. Lack of any real dynamics - something that defined Jimi's playing.
Zack Wylde est venu pour nous casser les oreilles,il n'a pas sa place ici 😡 Seul Kenny Wayne a rendu honneur à Jimi 🎸 Bonamassa aurait eu sa place sur cette scène 👍 SRV aurait remporté le trophée ❤ 🇨🇵
Kenny W Shepherd with Hendrix’s Strat……oh that tone and playing !!!
Eric Johnson channels Jimi Hendrix the most gracefully and beautifully.
Yes, if anyone can do Hendrix justice, Johnson can. Definitely one of the greats.
His chords compliment the melody, hell, I can't even explain it. He sure plays clean, and as fast as he needs to play fast. He's a true Hendrix fan.
Actually, Frank Marino does. But he wasn't invited. Sad
@@mrreemann3739 Even if Frank was invited, he wouldn't participate
@@garyt7855Frank Marino is retired from playing music he's got some kind of physical ailments I guess it affects his dexterity therefore his playing
Thank you for this post. I am enjoying the show at home! Chris Layton still has the goods after all these years. Imagine SRV still with us at this show...
Awesome, rock on!
NONE of these clowns are worthy to be SRV's roadie, especially that dirty biker, Zakk Wylde.
Saw this about 15 years ago and kenny Wayne Shepard killed it. Absolutely
Shout out to Mato Nanji. Maybe not as well known as some of the others on the stage, but a great player and very deserving of being there.
The Experience Hendrix tour really needs someone to deliver the goods
Some of the most reputable guitarists in the world are playing at this Hendrix tribute show
And most of them are BLOWING IT!
Randy Hansen deserves to be on that stage!
He would of make everyone else look like crap. #1 reason he is not on that stage.
Randy is awesome. He sounds and looks like Hendrix more than anyone. But you aren’t looking at this properly: these are all artists playing here that have made a musical career playing their own songs. Hendrix’s may have been an influence for these players, but they didn’t make an entire career out of imitating Hendrix.

RANDY HANSEN 10000
It's not easy. There's a handful of guys that really get it, the same ones who are fans like Eric Johnson. You know that guy goes home and listens to Jimi.
I second that!!
It was awesome, I was just there last night, really great shows and performers, Henri's voice was great.
I agree!
Erick could have played the whole show, just him self.. he totally killed it 🤩
KENNY WAYNE SHEPHARD WOW!!!!
It's like watching Stevie again. Amazing
I have never been able to get into KWS. However, after watching him here, especially during Voodoo Chile, I think it is time to I gave him another try.
Zak Wylde is and has always been super bad ass talented wildly!!
kick arse show, Jimi had a big smile for sure .. he's all over Seattle, cap hill, pioneer square, alki, renton, south center, burien, white center, magnolia, ballard, parkers ballroom, everywhere . . .
Kenny wayne shepherd and Eric johnson kill it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
doing us proud Henri B

SO GLAD 2 C more black musicians on stage at "Experience Hendrix".
Jimi was not about race.
@@williamb.8059 would be nice though
Jimi Came from R&B and Black Night Clubs they should have guitarist that are still alive that cut their teeth with him be a part of this

@@siepip For example?
Someone might want to remind Zakk, 'Bridge of Sighs' was a Robin Trower song, not Hendrix.😂
Damn how you going to have a Hendrix shoe in Seattle without Randy Hansen?
I second that!!
@@stevespringer1117 Yup. Lame.
Wow! What a solo on Voodoo chile!
Where's Randy Hansen or Eric Gales?
Or Frank Marino or Robin Trower?
@@mrreemann3739 I know right - they picked the wrong dudes for this.
Seen this show in Shreveport last night it was AWESOME!!!!!!
At 208:33 Kenny pays tribute to Jimi, watch it, feel it. Thanks, Kenny.
1:21:20 : A tip while hearing Eric Johnson playing Jimi's Are You Experienced solo on Jimi's Woodstock strat: STFU!
shout-out The Bassist killing it ❤
1:45:19 the show really starts!
Kenny absolutely the best, daamn!
this sound quality is like soundboard amazing
Thanks for posting the show for all to see! (would be nice if the audience would stop talking through everything.)
that version of killing floor was hillarious
Today is September 21.
Tomorrow, they play in Reno, Nevada.
I have nosebleed seats.
Hopefully the sound is better.
Im really looking forward to seeing taj mahal live.
Im 65 and always missed his shoes before.
Have a blast, the sound should be better back further from the stage. Taj is a legend.
It's Kool 2 hear what guitarist do with his music❤
Where's Billy Cox? I hope he is doing OK.
I like that they have some of the best guitar players out there playing. I know they have some that come in for a few days when their tours permit. I'm hoping to see some footage of Taj Farrant when he plays in a couple of weeks.
Kenny Insane Wayne Sheppard
Got tickets for March 2025!
great job, masters... !!!
I’m up to Zakk doing Purple Haze and I’m EXHAUSTED😂 He’s STILL playing Purple Haze! 😮🎸
I would run out of ideas before getting tired. He was definitely in the zone.
KWS doesnt move me. Legend in his own mind.
Perhaps due to the proximity of the guitar box, more in Master Taj Mahal's performance, the vocals were affected! But, it was worth it for the historical record! Very good! Jimi is alive and well!
I agree, Taj’s vocals were particularly quiet, and I think you are correct, there are some drawbacks to being right at the edge of the stage, like amp placement. It was a dream to see a legend play though. Rock on!
THIS SOLO OMG ! ! ! 1:01:52
It would be nice to see Otielle Burbidge on bass
Where's frank Marino 😎🎸🎼❤️🔥
RANDY HANSEN before it is too late
and his wah,a hendrix show and no wah????
awesome! thanks!
Chris Layton of SRV band on drums
Only Zack wild can play wah without a wah pedal lol I love it
Zakks noodling was the worst part of the whole show
also someone backstage is using the wah for him
I was there 3rd row. With the talent that was there, The price of admission was cheap!
Agreed, rock on!
no Robin Trower? No Ernie Isley?
I’m sure every time Chris plays with Kenny, he plays just a little harder. That’s about as close as you’ll get to that pure SRV sound.
Hendrix wasn't just about him though Noel Redding and especially Mitch Mitchell helped give him his sound. Mitchell used to go off and here the rhythm section was holding back, just my take!
First time I saw Eric Johnson play Experienced backward I was hooked forever
KWS is worth the admission price! Thanks 4 the vids!
Agreed!
The difference between Hendrix and all these players is simple. These guys play guitar... Jimi fused with the guitar, it was part of his body and soul.
Will Taj be in st augustine?
Seems like Kenny W. Shephard and Noah Hunt have been performing these tunes all along...Very at ease and in the moment ,where some other performances were a bit tentative maybe?
Anyone know what cab is under the marshall head on the left? G something, can't make it out!
Stone free°°
Great tx !
Zak was Wylde.
He shouldn't be in this. Randy Hansen should be. 100%
Nobody touches Kenny Wayne Shepherd. I went to see the show live years ago and he did voodoo child and it was like Hendrix was there. It was the most unbelievable thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
Just curious and im guessing it might have already been addressed but why is Billy Cox not on bass specifically for this Seattle show?
1:50:45
Is Dweezil Zappa still a part of this tour? Is he in there and I'm just not recognizing him?
@TE300_Tim He is, but he didn’t play at the Seattle show. He will play some of the later dates on the tour.
BTW: Mitch Mitchell is still alive. They could have invited him. Noel Redding died.
Mitch died in 2008
is it possible to stop thoses people talking behind?
Great video but audio sounded better back in the audience further
Yeah, sound usually sucks up close, there was a speaker right next to my face. I enjoy both views but couldn't pass up a chance to see so many great guitarists up close. Glad you got to see the show in person, rock on!
Zakk, the Mighty Viking Axe Slinger!
Rip Corby Yates
Let's all do what have to do to get RANDY HANSEN PLAY A BIG SHOW IN SEATTLE.
.......JUS OUT OF RESPECT !!!!
COME ON PEOPLE !!!
BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.
PLEASE SOMEBODY CAN DO IT.
IS THAT JIMI'S WOODSTOCK STRAT???😯
@m.k.ultrasonic Yes! Taken out and played for the first time in 14 years!!!
Big kudos to Taj Mahal for NOT succumbing to the black plague. This man has the courage to be himself, and not a peon.
Hmmmm. I’m 10 minutes in and it’s not great. Shane really because this should be a brilliant show with the talent out there
only one song from Band of Gypsys? c'mon
I was sitting behind you
Rock on!
Frank Marino perhaps
Frank wouldn't do it
@14:00 shouldnt these dudes know the key?
The shoulda called it the Hendrix massacre experience hahahahah.
not sure why zakk wylde was there after recently doing a video calling jimi "the model T of guitar or A don't remember critiquing his speed, I saw jimi twice and zakk is even dumber than he looks jimi was amazing in "every way live" and does a tribute with over the top speed licks

Then you must not have heard a guy by the name of Angel Reca
Why doesn't Seattle's own Randy Hansen do the Experience Hendrix show.. IT MAKES NO SENSE..
I second that!!
Whats the point. There isnt anybody left who played with jimi. Give it a rest, be happy with all the footage we have.
Taj jammed with Jimi in 1970.
I'd take Randy Hansen over any of these folks. Just sayin
ABSOLUTELY!
Would be a cool addition to the line-up. Maybe next time he can be asked.
I'll take Jimi 🤠🎼🎵🎶
Yes, but I must say KENNY W is no slouch.
I agree with you a 100%
No Billy, how sad.
Axis seems rushed as Johnson can barely get his words out-and he seems very nervous singing this one-but his playing is an excellent study of Jimi's attack.
Stone Free some one is playing the wrong notes!!!
No thanks. If you want to Experience Hendrix, then go see Randy Hansen. He is the only one on the planet that comes close to the real deal.
Really pleased with themselves at the startup of I Don't Live Today, but it was shite! Total non-start, which is doubly sad because Sheppard was doing well before that.
wtf? i respect all musicians on stage . BUT wtf was this?
Someone is talking in the left channel thru the whole show. So irritating and disrespectful.
Good playing but dreadful sound - guitar is buried below the rhythm section for the most part. Lack of any real dynamics - something that defined Jimi's playing.
Manic Depression was a frustrating mess. Sounded awful and the drummer lost his place multiple times. I’ve heard way better covers in bars.
Them Changes wasn’t any better. What a crap show. I’m totally shocked
Must have been an off night cos Layton is a good drummer.
@@davea3286 He sounded really good on Hey Joe in my opinion.
This needs to be stopped
a hendrix show and no wah?????????? um no!!!!!!!!!
Glad I didn’t buy tickets
Time to close it down gentleman
Awful
It`s ok - but often boring🤷♀
ALL WANNA BE'S
Eric is the real and onley player that comes near Hendrix, the rest is just a cheap cover band IMHO!
Chris Layton will put you to sleep, they should have gotten a better drummer
Zack Wylde est venu pour nous casser les oreilles,il n'a pas sa place ici 😡 Seul Kenny Wayne a rendu honneur à Jimi 🎸
Bonamassa aurait eu sa place sur cette scène 👍 SRV aurait remporté le trophée ❤ 🇨🇵
