      Noel Redding was a bit of a weak link in the early Jimi stuff, as he was a guitarist converted to bass by Jimi’s first manager, who put the original Experience together. Things got a lot better when Billy Cox joined on bass, a real bassist who had played with Jimi before he got famous. THIS track was an after hours in studio jam session, with Steve Winwood (Traffic) on organ, and Jack Casady (Jefferson Airplane) on bass. It shows how Jimi could burn with equal musicians. It’s always a mystery, how certain musicians just ignite each other. Buddy Miles was a fine singer and musician, but Band Of Gypsies didn’t last because he wasn’t the right drummer for Jimi. If only he had lived, what a career he would’ve had!

    This is essentially a freewheeling recorded jam session. Jimi saw Stevie Winwood at a club one night and he brought him back to the studio to play organ and they recorded this song on the spot in the wee hours of the morning. I think Stevie picks up the song well. There are some friends and randos from the club to make up a small audience to watch it going down. Everyone loved Voodoo Child (Slight Return), but this was my fave of the two.

    • @jnagarya519
      @jnagarya519 Місяць тому

      The few "Eric Clapton & The Powerhouse" recordings can be found on the Elektra Records "sampler" "What's Shakin'". ("What's Shakin'" includes several "Lovin' Spoonful" recordings made for Elektra as audition; I bought it at the same time as "The Lovin' Spoonful's" "Daydream" on Kama Sutra.) Winwood sings the leads. And as I recall the bass player came from "Manfred Mann" and moved on (with Clapton) to "Cream".
      Winwood moved on to found "Traffic".
      "What's Shakin, was a grab-bag of various recordings by different musicians on Elektra (including several "Lovin' Spoonful" audition recordings made for Elektra) and actually became something of best seller; usually such things ended up in the cut-out bin.

    Indeed, Jimi was very shy and a very scarred person as well. Born to an alcoholic mother who would die early in his life and a stoic yet possibly abusive father, he spent a lot of time with his Cherokee Native American grandmother, got a lot of his art and fashion sense from his grandma too. He had a hard time expressing himself in conversation (so he felt) but learned to express all those feelings with his guitar to an astonishing degree.

      As a drummer, you need to react to Axis as Bold as Love . At the end, they mike Mitch's drums so that it sounds like a jet taking off.
      On Electric Ladyland , you should react to side D as one piece. I'm 69 years old, and we used to listen to entire albums because they were designed that way. However, while the entire album is great, side D is insane .(PS - if you do get high, get f--ked up, turn up the headphones, and just let the music take you away. The engineering was as far out as the music)
      Finally, you are not going to hear a greater live performance than Machine Gun From Band of Gypsies live from the Filmore East.

    Oh I'm sure somebody mentioned it but this is Jimi's feature super group. He had Steve Winwood of Traffic here on keys, and Jack Cassidy (sp?) of Jefferson Starship on bass. Plus other hangers on from the club Jimi pulled them out of one night. They did a few takes live in the studio, this was the 4th or so take iirc? When it comes to mitch I think this is his best showing. Jimi showed out as he always does but didn't overpower the other players. Everybody had their equally impressive solo moment. Pure magic.

    Two amazing compositions. Guitarists still study Little Wing today attempting to unlock its simplicity and magic.
    Voodoo Chile is a free form blues/rock jam. Jimi in full sci-fi psychedelic mode. My favorite from the album, and oh my there is much to love in Electric Ladyland.
    Jimi followed up Voodoo Chile with Voodoo Child (Slight return) which is shorter and wilder. It was a favorite piece for him to perform live and several excellent video recordings exist (Berkely, Maui and Woodstock). Stevie channeled Jimi in his own performances of Voodoo Child (Slight Return).
    A deeper dive into Electric Ladyland: Rainy Day, Dream Away/Still Raining, Still Dreamin (master wah wah work) and the ultimate TRIP: 1983 - A Merman I Turn to Be.
    Castles Made of Sand (Axis) also highly recommended as it is in the same vein as Little Wing. Beautiful and poignant.

    For me, this is my favorite Hendrix record. It really represents his main influences like Albert King and Big Mama Thornton.
    You’re right Jimmy was shy, soft-spoken, and very laid-back.

    @davescurry69 Місяць тому +1

    I can't think of a live in the studio recording - especially in the rock field - that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, even after countless listens. The album this comes from is a stone cold masterpiece and was beyond what every other artist was capable of in 1968. Hendrix was simply on another level entirety. The most important musician in rock history. Period. And arguably the most important musician of the 20th century.
    I'm loving your journey into the music of this incredible artist. From the same album, there's another epic called "1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)" which goes down another path entirely to what you've just listened to.
    And it's near namesake on the album "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" takes the song down a different trajectory, which is almost a proto-metal sound. Probably even more than that intro to "Purple Haze". Keep it going with Jimi man. Great stuff, Lee.

  • @deanroddey2881

    Little Wing is a classic example of that 'clean but dirty' Stratocaster tones (probably through Marshall stack or half-stack, but I haven't looked into that) which still makes people want to play a Strat.
    And that half-stop heavy style is one that was endlessly emulated. It's that rhythm-as-lead style that works very well in a trio. And all of the suspensions that grind so nicely when played in that slightly broken up Strat style.

    Hi there. A Quick story about story about Jimmy Hendrix. He was still a rising star on the music scene in England. A couple of huge stars went to see this new guitarist everybody was talking about. Remember it's 1967.The Beatles had realesed the "Sgt peppers lonely hearts club band " with the same song title on a Friday. At the opening song of the concert (probably at the marquee club or similar) . Ok. In the front row there's half of the Beatles Pete Townsend,Eric Clapton, etc etc. Knowing this, Jimmy opens the show with his own version of the Sgt peppers main title.48 hours after the realese of Sgt peppers, he pulls it live just like that. Boom... This was told by Paul McCartney on a interview. In UA-cam 😊 MACHINE GUN is a must live

    You now have to hear Derek and the Dominos cover of “Little Wing” (they extended it and really made it their own). Sadly Jimi passed shortly before the song was released on the album “Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs” but he would have loved what Eric and the band came up with, of that I am certain.

    I was 13 years old in '68 loving Jimi Hendrix. My friends and I would go to Spencer's Gifts at the mall. They had a special black light room with Jimi Hendrix posters glowing all over the walls, along with Cream, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, etc. They played Jimi in that room and we'd just hang out in there as long as they let us.
    This was just an incredible reaction! Thank you.

      Led Zeppelin didn't get going until late 1968 and released their first album in 1969 so I doubt their poster would have been in such illustrious company in 1968 when they were barely known in England let alone the US where i presume you were based on your use of the word mall. I don't think we had malls or shopping centres yet in the uk at that time

    The memories and feelings that music invokes never goes away no matter how old you are. I'm 12yo in my room again and I'm now 68 yo. Music can be milestones in you life like hearing Elecric Ladyland for the first time. Time goes by in the blink of an eye, savior everything.

    The best cover of "Little Wing" is on Sting's 1987 "...Nothing Like the Sun", arranged by the late great Gil Evans, with Hiram Bullock on guitar and Branford Marsalis on sax.
    It's the only cover on a Sting album until 2006 when he recorded music by a 16/17th century composer.

    The first time I saw him live was a few weeks after Monterrey Pop. I had friends who went to that show and after what they told me, I knew I had to see him as well. It was a life changing experience. I saw him at the UCSB campus gymnasium in Santa Barbara CA. It was guitar virtuosity with the volume set at "11." He didn't have any effects pedals other than a Wah Wah. His special effects were done with sheer volume and feedback which he could control like no other performer, then or now. Over 50 years have passed yet he still remains the "best."
