I first saw him open for Pearl Jam in North Carolina about same time. Maybe 1996 or 97. Like you said. Life changing. When he did excuse me mr. and on down. Then another lonely day. I love bass player also
@nvsd270 Voodoo Chile and Voodoo Child are two complety different songs. Voodoo Chile is a 15min during blues song, where as Voodoo Child(using the wah wah) is the song that Ben Harper and SRV covered. They both appeared on Electric Ladyland in 1968
Ben Harper is doing this complete justice. Of course he knows Jimi wrote it. 12 year olds in China know that. I dig the fact that he got the vibe right. Thanks Ben. Jimi is diggin it.
If all Music of dead Composers and Musicians wasn't get played again life, we just could listen to Compact Disc or Vinyl of what had happened before. To me this sounds good.
stevie wrote the original, note jimi hendrix's version is called Voodoo Child (slight return) where as stevie ray's is called Voodoo Chile, also dated earlier than jimi's recording
I agree with you on the fact that Jimi and SRV are untouchable when it comes to blues/rock, but I really don't think it's easier to play voodoo chile on slide, you have to be honest and admit Ben's cover is really incredible^^
Interesting take on a classic . Maybe he shouted out to Double Trouble(which I didn't even notice) because they were on the bill at Bonneroo. They do still tour once in a while. And this was Slight Return , the version they did with SRV , rather than the original Voodoo Chile , which I like better. But , anyway , EVERYBODY knows it's a Hendrix tune.
I have been playing guitar for 15 yrs geezer and I am telling you it is easier to sound like ben is here on a slide than it it to reproduce the magic Jimi on a conventinal strat!!But bens cool in his own way,man.Otherwise I wouldnt be watching.Someone said it was better than Jimi thats why I responded
Ben knows who wrote this song! SRV was the only one who could hold a candle to Jimi's version...why do you think theres so few covers of it? You got to have skills to do this tune justice! and Bens wearing it out on Lap Steel!!! 'Nuff Said!
Closest thing to Hendrix our lifetime will ever fucking know.
I'll NEVER forget seeing Ben perform this song live in 98. Truly life changing...

Holy shit, this is an army! Ben Harper is the most versatile, dynamic and plural musician of this generation.
+cronologicainfo Yes man you're right, he does everything and he does it well !
The pure awesomness is the one who created the song ! shame on you to compare him with any other musicien, he was from an other planet. RIP JIMI.
His conviction is unmatchable..
First saw Ben at Horde about 1995 or so. He's an absolute fav of mine since that day. He like to just jam out on stage and it's great to listen to.
When Ben cover the classics is bigger than the biggest!!!!!!
the part where it goes into Kashmir is pretty sweet too this guy is just plain amazing
This is a really sick jam! Just got into Ben Harper, didn't know he did this stuff!
Voodoo Chile and Kashmir.....Pure Goodness!!!!!!
My heart is always with "Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals", I never get sick of nothing in this world" This is my medicine, HARD 💗
Excellent video. Thanks for posting this.
hes a sick lapsteel guitar player with alot of feeling, this is the real deal!
Feel the strength pouring through that slide... raw. Ben's at the top of his game when hes plugged in and seated. Thank.s for the vid. |,,/
Harper playng like Hendrix and finish with Zeppelin - Kashmere. Nice!!!
wow that was awesome....
This is soo good... Man he can play slide, and props to for respecting Stevie Ray. Harper shreds.!!
kashmir riff during the middle of the song is sick
This never gets old.
Kashmir thrown in the middle that was cool!
As if his fabulous voice isn't enough! Thank you!

STevie did the ORigianl BROdamang
First I heard this song. Like how he gave it a bit of a 90s feel while keeping the root of the song.
@janiee32 Jimi wrote this song. Though it has evolved from previous blues son "Catfish Blues", it's jimi's.
RIP Jimi, RIP SRV!
loved you in 2007 in perth now you are coming back to oz... ohhhh yeah..
If all Music of dead Composers and Musicians wasn't get played again life, we just could listen to Compact Disc or Vinyl of what had happened before.
To me this sounds good.
stevie wrote the original,
note jimi hendrix's version is called Voodoo Child (slight return)
where as stevie ray's is called Voodoo Chile, also dated earlier than jimi's recording
When is the next UK tour?..... Ben, you are the shit!
I agree with you on the fact that Jimi and SRV are untouchable when it comes to blues/rock, but I really don't think it's easier to play voodoo chile on slide, you have to be honest and admit Ben's cover is really incredible^^
pas mal......j adore la reprise...

Ben at his best.

Guitar and guitarist!
Nice!
@janiee32 Wrong. Jimi Hendrix wrote this in 1968. It was first recorded on Electric Ladyland. Stevie covered it.
VOOOOOOODOOO CHILEEEEE
11 people didn't like that he took up their sweet time. don't worry he'll give it right back, one of these days.
Anyone know what kind of tuning he uses on this?
Bloody brilliant player.
Agreed. A major oversight, IMHO.
I have been playing guitar for 15 yrs geezer and I am telling you it is easier to sound like ben is here on a slide than it it to reproduce the magic Jimi on a conventinal strat!!But bens cool in his own way,man.Otherwise I wouldnt be watching.Someone said it was better than Jimi thats why I responded
There is no need :)
Just playing a cover means tribute and dedication.... ben really respects jimmy :D
This was more about Stevie Ray Vaughn. RIP
Nostalgic!
Would love to get the HD video of this. Can't find it anywhere online.
Insane:)
the Best!!
C'MON BEN, HENDRIX WROTE IT
I can dig it!
fucking awesome
This is SO COOL: Whenever you need to chill out, try this.
slide is killer!
hes always got a poppin bassline
Jimi and SRV would love it!
Ben knows who wrote this song! SRV was the only one who could hold a candle to Jimi's version...why do you think theres so few covers of it? You got to have skills to do this tune justice! and Bens wearing it out on Lap Steel!!! 'Nuff Said!
A few covers😂
You need to get out more
Yes Jimmy wrote this but if you have ever heard S.R.V. you would understand why Ben dedicated it to him. RIP Jimmy and Stevie Ray.
total toll
Ben you're a fuking genious!
The part from 3:50 to 4:10 is sick shit!
Yep. Me too.
