  • I was walking during the beautiful summer of 2014 in NYC in Washington square, listening that pure voice and sound, I decided to sit on a bench and record this perfect armony.
    A tribute to this genuine group after 10 years from that moment.

    There's such a sweetness here that goes along with their music here, maybe it's the matching striped t-shirts, or just thinking of a warm summer day in Washington Square ten years ago, I don't know.

      Jimi was a hired and payed musician before his solo career so the story feels a bit unbelievable but I’ve experienced unbelievable things.

      ​@@nigelgeiger6020 Big Thief were only officially active as a group in the year after this video was captured. I think @RussellB means his dad, too, believes he saw Hendrix in his early days.

      What I meant was that usually a band improves when you show the beginnings. I threw them on due to interest, and they’re still hard to listen to because any random band at a local pub has more talent.
