I typed in Hey Joe and this is the song I found. I love Jimi Hendrix but this cover is absolutely the best version ever!!! I am a fan now of Fever Tree they are so psychedelic and I am such a left over hippie. Thanks Fever Tree you guys are the best!!! Rock on!!!
Holy CRAP!!! I have been searching for this cover for over 30 years! My dad recorded it onto a mix tape in the early 70s and this was lost to time. Having listened to probably 200 versions since then, it's still the best I've ever heard.
This kind of stuff is what makes UA-cam the greatest website on the internet. I remember a few years back being sad about all of the old great music that I'd probably never hear again. Bands like Fevertree, Marmalde and others that most people have never heard of. When I discovered that it was all here on UA-cam it was like getting back together with an old lover who hadn't aged a day.
Well said. UA-cam gives a second life to those bands who had their brief flutter on the FM dial but never quite ascended to the pantheon. Think Spooky Tooth, Hookfoot and Captain Beyond.
I met Michael just before he died in a car accident. Very humble guy. My restaurant partner and I just told him that he was in one of the best sixties bands of the psychedelic era. What incredible harmonies in this tune.
Couldn't agree more, I have spent hours upon hours listening to that old stuff much of it quite obscure like virtually everything of fever trees except San Francisco girls. I love every song on that album some more than others but I still love them all. I thought they were incredibly talented group together with their manager / producers who are a married couple whose name I have forgotten.
Billy Roberts was my boyfriend for long enough to learn my song, Baby Please Don't Go to Town and morph it into Hey Joe, unbeknownst to me but others recognized the derivation (such as Pete Seeger)/ I wrote the song in the late 50's but unfortunately, didn't copyright it until 1962. You can find out more about this on a few websites such as wikipedia and one devoted to Hey Joe. To hear the original and other songs of mine, go to The Numero Group and look for Songs of Leaving. This is an interesting version of many.
'Baby please don't go to town' is by far my favourite version. It must be amazing to see so many great artists cover your song and are being influenced by it to this day.
Thanks for sharing this Niela.Hey Joe is one of my all time favorites. Learning it's origin is enlightening. Looked at a couple of your videos. Amazing stuff and has opened up a new venue for me. Love ya'!
Keller had an incredible voice and I have always preferred their version of nowadays Clancy can't even sing once I heard it. Don't get me wrong I still love Buffalo Springfield version and Buffalo Springfield for that matter but fever trees version of Clancy just has so much feeling. I have read that Neil Young said they nailed it with that song.
This is the best version of the song. To sing it with such emotion, to capture the frantic feeling of killing the person you love and what you’re going to do next and the feelings that you have inside, the ups and downs it is absolutely fantastic
Was blessed to see Fever Tree numerous times, eagle never hunts the fly, You keep me hanging on, plus all the great songs they recorded, you should have seen them live, Hey Joe was always a show stopper. WOW!
Ugggh, i had ALL of their original vinyl from my older brother and over the years its been lost. Such fond memories hearing these sounds coming from his bedroom and on his car tape deck. Try and find it now 😕 THIS is what UA-cam was made for!
I like this version very much. I remember an AM station in Pittsburgh in the early seventies would play some Fever Tree songs. I was just a young teenager trying to learn to play guitar at the time so I listened to all the rock bands.
I had never heard this version before, it's really great. The only Fever Tree I was familiar with was their album with San Girls on it. Back in the 60's, early 70's I usually had some of the more obscure LP's but missed this one. Thanks for posting.
i prefer this to the Hendrix version, and that's saying something. Psychedelic = brilliant. NB Hendrix wrote most of his own material, but not this one. It was written by a little known songwriter in the 1950s.
Dennis Keller, what an exceptionally powerful voice. Very nice arrangement to this piece, definitely my favorite version of "Hey Joe", Fever Tree, were a very talented group of individuals, Thanks for taking the time, to upload this rare recording dorFlozo, Regards, >GTR
Haven't heard this since some real asswipes stole my Fever Tree- For Sale 8-track back in 1973, Have looked for it online here and there over the years. Today, more than just an ordinary surprise. More like Costner and the gang finding the Dom in "Fandango". Whoever posted, thanks! many times over.
Hands down best version of hey Joe, It combines the soulful, bluesy Hendrix version with the faster paced, more angsty original version of the leaves, just beautiful
I used to always listen to this song in year 10. I have a big appreciation for this song and all progressive/ cover songs. I love this song and band for making this. It was my life
Just discovered Fever Tree even tho I'm a big 60's rock fan... This Hey Joe is absolutely AMAZING. By 1968 Jimi Hendrix starts including Fever Tree's Hey Joe riff in his version live. I always loved that riff and find it so cool to hear it here.
I can detect more than a hint of "Needles and Pins", made famous in the UK by The Searchers, written by Jackie DeShannon, Sonny Bono and Jack Nitzsche in 1963.
Arthur Lee's band LOVE did a cover of this song on their first LP but Lee didn't write it - Billy Roberts did. Lee may have claimed he did though. The Leaves were the first group to do it commercially. Anyway , I'd never heard this version thanks.
The first recorded version is by The Leaves. Not The Byrds, not Love, Not Jimi Hendrix, Not The Music Machine, There are stories, that when Jimi hendrix first went to England, he heard The Creation do their version (slow) live, and that's where he got the inspiration to do a slower version. The Creation didn't record their's until 1968.
Sorry, but the first recorded version was not by The Leaves, but by Billy Roberts. And some believe he stole the chord progression from another song by Niela Miller called "Baby Please Don't Go to Town". You can find both of these songs on You Tube.
I'm back. Recording this on a new laptop, very first recording. 8 years ago I was more than glad to find this song here on youtube, and i'm glad it's still here. Now to get the download to go into a new folder. lol
I like every cover of this song. This version has a great vibe. Check out "San Francisco Girls" by this great band (Fever Tree) - ua-cam.com/video/djt9zzCShhQ/v-deo.html
Translation to English: The American band "Fever Tree" founded in the 1960s with their version of "Hey Joe". The original folk song gained worldwide fame primarily through the interpretation of Jimi Hendrix.
@666ecl Sure! I remember the 13th Foor Elevators. The Moving Side Walks was another great band from that area and era. I never did the drug thing. I guess I was just high on life and music.
This is not the "best" version of Hey Joe, but it is very good. For a version that is more faithful to the intent of the song you should listen to Tim Rose singing it.
To all those people that think this version is better than the Hendrix version....are you crazy? By the way, Billy Roberts wrote and recorded the song in 1962, as Niela said. But no matter who wrote or sang it, Jimmy OWNED it, just as he did w/ Dylan's All Along the Watchtower. When Hendrix sings this song (not to mention his guitar), it's primal, and from the depths of his soul.
@666ecl Are you talking about the 13th Floor Elevators? I love them. Wish I could be eating LSD now and attend a Fever Tree and Johnny Winter show. Just gets hard to find LSD when you're 60.
I typed in Hey Joe and this is the song I found. I love Jimi Hendrix but this cover is absolutely the best version ever!!! I am a fan now of Fever Tree they are so psychedelic and I am such a left over hippie. Thanks Fever Tree you guys are the best!!! Rock on!!!
San Francisco Girls is one of their greats.
That was my dad's band. My dad had the first rock club in Houston. I was 11 years old.
Holy CRAP!!! I have been searching for this cover for over 30 years! My dad recorded it onto a mix tape in the early 70s and this was lost to time. Having listened to probably 200 versions since then, it's still the best I've ever heard.

71 on the 18th. Wouldn't trade those years or that music for anything.
these guys are great. their song 'san francisco girls' is one of the best songs of the 60's although it doesn't get the recognition.

Love this song! Thanks you are appreciated for such a nice song!
Way ahead of her time this lady!
Dennis Keller's vocals really take me back to when I bought my first Fever Tree album in '68 and the organ puts me in a psychedelic mood again!
Keller had an incredible voice and I have always preferred their version of nowadays Clancy can't even sing once I heard it. Don't get me wrong I still love Buffalo Springfield version and Buffalo Springfield for that matter but fever trees version of Clancy just has so much feeling. I have read that Neil Young said they nailed it with that song.
Possibly the best version of this song ever.
that's what I was thinking. I have so many versions but this is best. I did however edit it a bit
This is the best version of the song. To sing it with such emotion, to capture the frantic feeling of killing the person you love and what you’re going to do next and the feelings that you have inside, the ups and downs it is absolutely fantastic
Have you ever heard Sean Boniwell and The Music Machine's version or Love's version? And yes this version is grand.
@MeTube
Yup. They influenced Michael Jackson and The Ramones. Super talented.
Best version of hey joe I've ever heard and I've heard alot of them including Hendrix.
Oh, man ...... Hendrix's "attempt" at this song just does not count.
Same here though I consider Hendrix's version a classic.
I agree, Hendrix version is great, but this one is a cut above anything or anyone else. It’s a masterpiece
Still like the Leaves version the best.
Love, and The Leaves had pretty incredible versions as well psych garage classics
Headphones on, straight to the centre of my mind, awesome version
This guy's vocals absolutely slay me. I don't know what it is, but it's like listening to the very Soul of Rock.
You and me both brother, he had a lot of soul and he was so damn young.
Was blessed to see Fever Tree numerous times, eagle never hunts the fly, You keep me hanging on, plus all the great songs they recorded, you should have seen them live, Hey Joe was always a show stopper. WOW!
Wow! The Music Machine does both of these. Great performance.
Totally forgot about this group. Great version of Hey Joe!
THE Band with the San Francisco sound! Best version of Hey Joe ever done!
They started out here in Houston, Texas.
may be a san francisco sound but i went to high school with mike knust. in houston.....
Pappyjerry1 I saw them there in 1968.
I totally agree.
So cool. It is fascinating. Great Psychedelic
It may be thirteen minutes long, but it still ends way too soon!
Wow! This brings back memories of my teens. Loved Fever Tree and this wonderful version of Hey Joe.
Ugggh, i had ALL of their original vinyl from my older brother and over the years its been lost. Such fond memories hearing these sounds coming from his bedroom and on his car tape deck. Try and find it now 😕 THIS is what UA-cam was made for!
superb love that procol harum meets tommy james opening and closing sections.
Thank you for uploading this. :) It's my favorite version of 'Hey Joe'.
sammeee sry people spend 10 years replying to you buddy :)
sure brings back some wonderful memories and feelings
Definitely the Fever Tree sound!
Whoa....... That's just incredibly cool !

I like this much more than Hendrix!
Way more!

i prefer this to the Hendrix version, and that's saying something. Psychedelic = brilliant. NB Hendrix wrote most of his own material, but not this one. It was written by a little known songwriter in the 1950s.
IT'S BILLY ROBERTS THE ORIGINAL
I actually prefer The Leaves version. It doesn't drag on. Billy Roberts claims authorship yet the first known recording is from the Leaves in 1966.

Good version! I would add Deep Purple Mark1 version with the incomparable Rod Evans vocals, my own personal favorite.
Fever Tree rock & rule !
RIP, Michael Knust. You were an original.
Was für eine tolle Version - zigmal gehört vor vielen Jahren in der Lastruper "Scala". Waren tolle Zeiten!!!
I love this Version !!

I believe Jimi was playing it pre Experience. I believe it was the song he played for Chas Chandler in NYC.

Tim Rose!

by the way if you havent from my previous comment take a listen to Clancy by Fever Tree.... just like this one, great redition

Love this cover…hate to say it because I love Jimi Hendricks but this is better than his version

One of the more interesting versions of the Billy Robert's classic.
Good job
Wish someone would post the other two Leaves versions on here!

I could skip easily the first minute on the organ solo intro, but the rest of the song was the worth of it.
Mega vsion
The fookin Joe again

Are you talking about the 13th Floor Elevators? I love them.
Wish I could be eating LSD now and attend a Fever Tree and Johnny Winter show. Just gets hard to find LSD when you're 60.
Man,, I really like this version. Slow and easy then wham....
havin' a flashback.....
LOL.
Wondering why these guys never made it to the national stage?
If anyone has the lyrics to this version, I'd really appreciate it if you could share them with with me. Thanks!
idd that could be great!
this version is copying the music machine's version. its cool.
@6motion6 If you would come over to slovenia, than yes ;)
You mean Arthur Lees song. The Byrds and Hendrix did a cover.
Something different for this age
