@Rekeza That's in the frame, that's for sure. There's also a great version from the Winterland box set, which was also released a couple of decades earlier on the Jimi Hendrix Concerts double LP.
@@davescurry69 I guess it's safe to say any and every version Jimi did of Hear My Train is great, I havent heard the Winterland one before but I do like it, especially that bass tone. I'll always be biased to the guitar tone and solo on the Olympic Studios version, but the man can do no wrong with this song
@Rekeza I'm pretty sure that Winterland version was one of the earliest recorded renditions of the song, if not the earliest. There was almost no response from the audience when he announced the song prior to playing it, adding it was "nothing but a jam again".
Thank you for keeping up with Jimi. He's got a deep, deep catalogue for such a short professional career and it's all good. And thank you for doing the studio version.
After some legal stuff got settled, he's had a ton of posthumous albums. I'd highly recommend Blues, South Saturn Delta, and Both Sides of the Sky. A lot of this stuff is a mix of live, home studio, and unreleased stuff.
You really need to hear Voodoo Chile, track 4 on Electric Ladyland. It's a 15 minute, live in studio, blues jam. Really it's more than that. It features Steve Winwood on keyboards and some killer interplay between him and Jimi.
Absolutely!! Possibly my favourite Jimi, with Steve and him trading licks and duelling! Steve on keys! and the first and last of the Space age bluesman on the Strat! Just Incredible!!...
Jimi had 3 studio albums before his death Are You Experienced Axis Bold As Love Electric Ladyland (a double album) Band of Gypsies was recorded live with his new band. Released before Jimi's death.
I'm a subscriber because I love your priceless tangents, not only are they funny, but they're deep. You're one smart cookie, Mr. Bizmatic! Anyway, I'm also a Hendrix fanatic. For a next Hendrix tune, I recommend "Hey Baby" off the "Rainbow Bridge" album. I also recommend Pali Gap off the same album. And if you ever want to do an entire album, I recommend Jimi's first album, "Are You Experienced." When I first listened to it back in 1975, 7 years after it's release, I was completely blown away. Never before and never since has an album shocked and shaken my world like that one.
Another great, great song is "Burning Desire" off the "Loose Ends" album. The guitar work on that song, is as good as anything I've ever heard from Jimi.@@mr.goodenough3796
Thank you man,this is my favorite version of this song and it´s been a while without listening it.I had the posthumous LP called Midnight lightnin´ with this one and Machine gun inside.The opening tune was Jimi´s take on Blue suede shoes.Amazing!
Jimi was so nasty and filthy that it was beautiful. He resides in a realm of music that is all his own. To really understand why Hendrix is *Hendrix,* it is necessary to, at least listen to, if not watch video of, him performing live. He was a world class lyricist and songwriter. But, his guitar playing was and still is without a parallel today, almost 57 years later. And to see him effortlessly put it all together as no one else ever before or since, is the only way to understand his unbelievable talent.
Biz, you're a musical connoisseur and I love that you aren't afraid to tackle all styles of music. You may even have an eclectic taste for music in general. I know I do and I sense it from you. Thanks a bunch! Great review
I remind younger folks that Jimi was playing guitar in the late 1960s. We hadn't quite heard anything like this at the time. It was a mix of the best blues and rock guitar...with a whole lot of Jimi's innovation added into the mix.
Imagine thinking the Beatles were revolutionary and then Jimi came along he was 30 years ahead of them literally he inspired hard rock later blues rock funk and even hip hop
BEST VERSION HANDS DOWN IS FROM Rainbow Bridge - Jimi’s most coherant, hippiefied, psychedelic, and well thought out. This vetsion shows some chops, but you can’t best the Rainbow Bridge album version on. Train.
When Jimi plays he stretches more than your hearing, you see colors, you feel temperature changes, you feel your brain rewiring and resetting itself to factory settings...
Next, how about 'Hey Baby(New Rising Sun', 'Dolly Dagger', 'Earth Blues', 'Pali Gap', and 'Look Over Yonder' from the 'Rainbow Bridge' album, and 'Stars That Play with Laughing Sam's Dice' from early on in his career. Fantastic stuff ahead, man. Please continue, keep on keeping on. 🙏🏽😊🤙🏼🌈 🌉🎸🎶❤️✨️🕊
@Hapmorii I omitted 'Room Full of Mirrors', not a fave, personally. Love 'Burning Desire' from 'Loose Ends', and the solo guitar track for 'Electric Ladyland'. >sigh
My brother and I used top play this over and over lol. everytime we heard the local train coming we'd sing the hook line out loud and crack each other up.
As a guitarist, I've been listening to Jimi since I was 15 years old. I'm 61 now. First time hearing this version. How he's able to control that level of distortion, feedback and slip in and out of tonal ranges is mystifying. Additionally, the complexities of some of the guitar phrasing he uses in this version, is on par with any of the great classical composers. I think I have a favorite version now, thanks for posting this!
Man, you must check out "Voodoo Chile" from ELECTRICLADYLAND. Side 1, Track number 4. Or maybe "I Don't Live Today" or "Manic Depression" from ARE YOU EXPERIENCED, or even "Bold As Love" and "Spanish Castle Magic" from AXIS: BOLD AS LOVE.
People can talk all they want about Stevie Ray Vaughan (and I do love his music), but every time I listen to Hendrix, I remember exactly why he remains the GOAT. There are many extremely talented guitar players, and Stevie ranks them all...BUT ONE. Jimi will always be the GOAT.
Love Jimi. Biz as a returning viewer I have been a subscriber since i stumbled across your AC DC track by track reviews! Would love to see Jimi Better Wait till tomorrow. Can you spin that one Biz?
Some of these versions used to be available only on bootlegs. Obviously Hendrix life cut too short. He didnt like the town he grew up in. He wasnt popular, so he wrote this tune. This cut very influential on other young guitarists of the era. Rooted in the blues but its also got his psychedelic acid stamp. One guitarist particularly influenced was Eddie Hazel. He was a young guitarist who played with Bernie Worrel and George clinton, and later Bootsy. I think the Bizmatic channel did one tune of their tunes from the record "maggot brain" Thats a very fine record. They have several fabulous records that kind of flew under the radar, but definitely have the acid rock component. They took Hendrix back into the black community and did it their way. Then Hazel too died of drugs. Hendrix was a brief spark but he did his thang, and he lives on in music. Going to be 60 in 17 days. Broke down Bman with a pink tractor made in1974 and a dog. Never been happier cause Im doing my thang. Do your thang- it's the key to life. ua-cam.com/video/CqDGTT2OtsQ/v-deo.html
The greatest version ever in my not so humble opinion Jimi did in Berkeley 1970 I never heard Guitar playing like that song it’s just outrageous, this one’s great but it doesn’t come close!
I get totally and deeply lost in Jimi's music. Nothing but those dulcet tones matter. Its good to see others are slowly and finally catching on, especially to others of Jimi's music and not just the ones people are mainly used to: eg. Hey Joe, Monterey. That means more customer base for Experience Hendrix/Legacy. Therefore, there's no need for the present custodians to be so anal any longer when it comes to usually older, longer and dedicated fans/lovers/supporters of Jimi's music, irrespective of who released what, except that greedy dog chalpin.
I like all your reactions, but, i think your followers, don't tell you to listen to the good versions😂😢"Hear my train a' comin", the best version ever is: LIVE AT BERKELEY COMMUNITY CENTER, 1970" (at the university of Berkeley😂).....IT'S COMING FROM ANOTHER GALAXY😂😢The drummer, MITCH, is at the same Level as Jimi, FAR FAR AWAY FROM OUR GALAXY, 😂and the bassist is taking them on earth, to help us to realize what's happening😂I have it on a vinyl!

My favourite live version of this is probably the one from Berkeley in 1970. This one is pretty cool. Really heavy in some parts.
Olympic Studio's version gotta be the best one

"...gonna come back and buy this town, and put it all...in my shoe"
Jimi was a badazz! He made those guitars cry and sing like no other!! 😊
The "Live At Berkeley " version is worth a taste .
And Machine gun from that show. Raw for more like that.
Olympic Studio's version gotta be the best one

Jimi = GOAT
You should listen to the entire Axis: Bold as Love Album to really see Jimi's tremendous creativity in songwriting.
After some legal stuff got settled, he's had a ton of posthumous albums. I'd highly recommend Blues, South Saturn Delta, and Both Sides of the Sky. A lot of this stuff is a mix of live, home studio, and unreleased stuff.
He would grab a note and never let go, bending it all over the place making that guitar talk saying all different kinds of things.
Biz , you're diggin deep on this one .
All timer vibe here .
JIMI...all that needs to be said
Loved it 🎸🎸🎸 Jimi can sure make that guitar sing ☮️
You really need to hear Voodoo Chile, track 4 on Electric Ladyland. It's a 15 minute, live in studio, blues jam. Really it's more than that. It features Steve Winwood on keyboards and some killer interplay between him and Jimi.
And let's not forget Jack Casady played Bass on this long overlooked Jam.
Absolutely!!
Possibly my favourite Jimi, with Steve and him trading licks and duelling! Steve on keys! and the first and last of the Space age bluesman on the Strat!
Just Incredible!!...
One of my favorite all time Hendrix jams
Jimi had 3 studio albums before his death
Are You Experienced
Axis Bold As Love
Electric Ladyland (a double album)
Band of Gypsies was recorded live with his new band. Released before Jimi's death.
Crosstown Traffic. Always been one of my favorites... 😎

With the original lineup of The Experience, the studio albums are- 1. Are you Experienced? 2. Axis Bold as Love 3. Electric Ladyland
JIMI
Electric Ladyland Album - start to finish !!!
yes, the best ever, such diversification with every song......jimi at his best without a doubt!!!

I have this on a bootleg of his performance at the Atlanta Pop festival in 70. It will crush you.

When Jimmi plays you don't know if he is playing a song or he is trying to hipnotize you. What an incredible musician.... What a great band...
My brother, who recently passed, had the middle name Hendrix. I was always somewhat jealous of that.🖖🏼
So your parents must have been Hendrix fans also.
That’s so cool 🔥he is the greatest all time(you think I do that🎵🎶✨)you do best songs ,thanks for crate digging a bit for these reactions!✌️
That guitar without Jimi Hendrix is just peace of wood.
Man, you must check out "Voodoo Chile" from ELECTRICLADYLAND. Side 1, Track number 4. Or maybe "I Don't Live Today" or "Manic Depression" from ARE YOU EXPERIENCED, or even "Bold As Love" and "Spanish Castle Magic" from AXIS: BOLD AS LOVE.
He had three studio albums when he was alive, and another 3 or so, studio albums after he died.
Awesome
That was a jam!
Review the new Jimi Hendrix release live at the Hollywood Bowl.
The best! You should watch his interview with Dick Cavet. 💙
People can talk all they want about Stevie Ray Vaughan (and I do love his music), but every time I listen to Hendrix, I remember exactly why he remains the GOAT. There are many extremely talented guitar players, and Stevie ranks them all...BUT ONE. Jimi will always be the GOAT.
react to "Rainy day" by hendrix off Electric Lady land You be im pressed the first version no the one later in the album
Acid-soaked Blues.
The older I get the more I miss the 1960's.
I haven't heard this one since the seventies.
my personal favorite is Hear My Train - alternative take on the BBC Sessions. the first one if there is two.
Love Jimi. Biz as a returning viewer I have been a subscriber since i stumbled across your AC DC track by track reviews! Would love to see Jimi Better Wait till tomorrow. Can you spin that one Biz?
Noted!
Jimi was a paratrooper too!
Gary Clarks live cover is insane. Check it out bro
I could get lost in this song.
I'm pretty sure this recording was just messing around in the studio, not a live concert.
Hendrix had three studio albums. Are you experienced, axis bold as love, electric ladyland. Band of gypsies was a live album.
Rainbow bridge version great, pali gap on that lp a masterpiece, tune to chill out to, sunrise or sunset 🌅
PS, a better version of this song--a much better version--is the one on the Rainbow Bridge album. Head's and shoulders, baby!
Yeah that's from Berkeley concert. Give the version from Royal Albert Hall a listen, you might like it evem better
The Berkley version is my favorite too. An underated one in my opinion is the Band of Gypsys version from the Fillmore East 1st show 12-31-69

The tone on his guitar in this one is soooooooooooo dirty.
“Hear My Train Comin”, Berkeley 1970. Video.
“Stone Free”, RAH 1969 Audio.
