I am 73 years old and i've Seen Jimmie Hendrix twice. But this Version is absolutely impressive
I’m 68 years old and have heard so many versions of this song. This one brings tears to my eyes. Otis, Anne Harris, and the guitarist are all great ! ! ! I can’t stop listening to it . . .
My Brazilian friend, I have missed a lot your beautiful country. Greetings from creta greece
I'm 66 years old it does the same!!!
Totally agree, keep coming back to this version.
Age 65 here. I feel the same Brother. Why can't we all just remember just humans. Peace and Love to You and Yours
All the hundreds of string pickers that has took a swing at "Hey Joe", not one can reach up to touch the toes of Ottis, he stands above the ones that try his copy, w/his super grand performance of this version. I can't find anything by Ottis that has done anything lately w/"Hey Joe" than 3-4 yrs. I hope he is doing well. 021124.
I am 512 years old. This is the best version of Hey Joe ever.
and the damndest thing, this long version can not be found (by ME!) on a OTC CD. What we have here is TOTAL dis-respect for the beautiful music these two w/a super band has created and it is a known fact at almost every concert this version, if not all his grand tours this stroke is a hit, the people came to this draw just to hear it. Right ON! Cruz.
Sono d' accordo amico . La migliore
The young man on guitar is incredible
who is he?
Taylor Scott is the lead guitarist

Taylor Scott ?
I’m 80 years old, play a little guitar, read music and know some music theory. These people bring tears to my eyes. There ain’t no frets on a violin folks.
Jim, the young lady is so super w/the bow and her slo-mo just sets the stage to the total ambiance. I select this version on the table PC to Loop and walk away, Yes , I do set set up the amps a bit vol knobs that I do not miss a beat at the house far end, watching the Ravins coming in to roost.
Spectacular !
Thank you, Jimi Hendrix for bringing this song to light. Thank You Otis Taylor Band for perfecting it.
Music videos like this is what gets me through all the negative shit that's going on in this world today.
Amen to that bro 🎸 👍, I'm 75, totally agree with you 🎸 👍
I m 62 heard a lot of hey joe versions , this is by far the best ever . This band nailed it all the way to the last note.
Subjective but ok .. for ne it depends on my mood .. and i like roy buchanan japan version and tim rose long version
@@TFFSRAD: Ben Pooles rendition is great as well!❤
The drum beat mimics Hendrix' shuffle style of playing. I'm stealing this 😁👍
@@MrPoodleguy Ben Poole is devoid of the all-important soul.
... endiend, are charming and unique this version.But, one thing is sure: when everyone listen for the first time...a song, remaining a profound Mark in the soul.That first emotion... will stay der in soul... forever.And, More than that: original is just ONE...😅❤😂
Very time I play this song ,for some reason my arm hair stands straight up.This is one of my favorite songs in my 65 yrs . THE YOUNG man on guitar is amazing.
What's wrong with your arm?
YES. He is. The Young man is really really good.
Who is him?
The young fine woman is also .
Trouble with this version is I can't stop playing it, can't get enough volume on my system, kick ass music 🎶 by a brilliant band 😂
Ha ha I get it
Amazing violin solo from Anne Harris! She's so talented! 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿💖💖💖
❤indeed
Just amazing just plan good .
Man ,Long live Rock and Roll.
I still want to marry her!
0:59 it looks like she could be Jimi Hendrix daughter!!!
Otis' guitar rift at 1:35, 1:45 & 2:17 magical. Then the young solo guitarist, intoxicating. The violinist then kills it followed by Otis' mesmerising guitar solo. Fabulous. 🎸❤️👍
Exactly...incredible...such a deep emotions, I cannot find words for that
Absolutely the most heart driven, passionate group of super talented artists I have ever had the privilege of witnessing in my 58 years on planet earth . They are so amazing with this cover the first half dozen times I heard it , hell it still makes my eyes tear up ! I am so excited about this I have told everyone I know about it! I could go on loop w this and listen to it constantly !!! Bravo Bravo Bravo!!! It has touched my soul!! So damn powerful I’m a fan for life !!!!❤
so was habe ich noch nie gesehen und gehört. Das ist die BESTE Cover Version von Hey Joe. Jimi wäre glücklich und stolz von soviel Leidenschaft. Danke !!!!
Nur eins, auch der gute Jimmy hat das Lied gecovert, die Band davor ebenfalls... Dieser Song ist, im Original, ein, nenne ich es mal, Western Folk Song des 19Jh.
An Textstellen wie, "I go down to Mexico..." oder "I'd be a hanged man..." wird es eindeutig.
Jedoch hat Jimmy diesem Song seine Idee der Melodie angeglichen. Dank der Verzerrer! 😊
@@Thomas83KO Danke für die Info. Man wird nicht Dümmer.
I've watched this video about a zillion times and never a dull moment. Amazing performance by everyone on stage..This is a masterpiece ...Pure High Energy !
Exactly, I've been watching for a year now and then. The part that gets my every time is where the camera closes up on Tyler to start his solo. That's is my greatest piece of art in this painting of a performance. Every time I listen, I hear some new nuance I didn't notice before it seems.
dam right!
Really professional performance
It's like butter
😂
I was blessed to see them in person. Totally incredible/ crowd pleasers. approachable after the show. A legend in my opinion.
A simple song .... deliverd..... beautifully, passionately, sincerely, with power and style.
I ❤ this version👍🇬🇧.
Why can't music be like this now. X
This is the first time I've ever heard the Otis Taylor band ,and all I can say is that they put on one hell of a show
Also....the slow down and the energy of the comeback is PURE fire through my soul 🔥
I could put this version on loop and listen all day. One of the best I have ever heard.
Methinks it is the best 🙏 ❤️ 🎸😎
I can freestyle to this song forever too hey Joson number one rocker heard about thousand times
@@thomaspeluso4121
Harmonica all the way ! I got that !
I listen to this all the time the lead player is brilliant the violinist is brilliant the whole band is bloody brilliant.
Amen to that bro 🎸 👍
Otis and band on that day were on another planet 🌏 😅, brilliant, 👍👍
Yes.
I’m 73 and I’m on the same train. Ethereal.
The most amazing version of this song I've ever seen over the years. Thanks for turning me on to Otis and his fabulous band.
You know this is without any doubt the best of all live versions of this song 👍 😄 😎, 73 years young, saw hendrix Clapton, by heck jimi 👍 bet thou smiling ☺, 👇
I find myself being continually drawn to this performance of what is undeniably one of the greatest songs of the modern era. Listen now to the most exquisite performance I've heard of Hey Joe.
I first heard this song in the spring of 1967. It was on the radio, by, what the DJ said, was a new group from England. I had never heard of them, and didn't know anything about them, but I ran to the record store (remember them), and pulled the album up out of the bin. It was the first time I looked into the face of Jimi Hendrix. I was a 15 year old Black kid in The South Bronx, and finally I had a rock idol of my own. I saw him perform 3 times live, and met him at a club one night in 1968. I think Jimi would be very proud of this version. The legacy lives on! Excellent! I may be 71 years old, but damn, she's got pretty legs!
Hats off, Anne Harris!!
I, m 76 and think the violin player is brilliant
I found it whoo!! Saw this years ago THIS is the very best hey Joe cover ❤❤❤
She rocks that Violin like a BOSS!!!!
A truly amazing and uplifting experience.
Sweet Jesus! How have I missed this? phenomenal.
Anne Harris on the violin OUTBLOODY STANDING WHAT A TALENT!!!!!She's the Jimi Hendrix of the violin! And then some!!! Absolutely love your work girlfriend,
Natcat from the land down under! You are truly inspiring!
I agree with you, she's the Jimi Hendrix of the violin!!!!
Amen to that bro 🎸 👍 🎶, and sisters 😂😍
Bloody well right, I love her! She definitely gets into the spirit of this Jimi classic, as does Otis! Excellent rendition, glad a stumbled over it several yrs ago, probably late at night surfing RUclips! I like most the energy in her prancing around the stage as she plays, SO HOT!!!
Amen to that bro, I'm 75, saw hendrix, what a team that would be, jimi and Anne 😂😅🎸🎻🎵, but credit to Otis and the rest of the band, ✌️ 😂😍
Every member of the group on that day nailed it, top of their game, absolutely stunning performance, the best 🙏 in my opinion 🎸 🎸 😜 👍
ben pool
I love this shit fuckin n A!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best versions of Hey Joe I've ever heard!
I dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?

@Bowen Layne Instablaster :)

We all have a songs we never get tired of. I confess, Hey Joe is on my list.
I'll never tire of this. Incredible performances all around. What an OUTSTANDING rendition!!
Why this band are not world famous is a mystery , all fantastic musicians , better than the talentless crap in the charts . The violinist is world class
Amen to that bro 🎸 👍 😄 😎
they are all class. Otis reminds me of Jimi Hendrix.They have created a new genre-trace jazz and i LOVE it!!!
Amen to that bro 🎸 👍
Otis Taylor is a master guitar picker, masterful, blows my mind 😂, modest as well ❤, truth is he could blow them all away, play on otis 😂
Your band is awesome…I love your music. Thankyou❤
That VIOLIN THO!!!! 🔥 God DAMN!! That backwards lean...the energy....the hauntingly beautiful darness of it all. Whew!!! I cant get enough , chillz alllll over my body every damn time 😢❤ Fucking beautiful!

Man... This is Gold!
This is by far the best version I’ve ever heard and I saw Hendrix last concert ❤
100 %
Fehmarn? Just 16ans terrific 😊😮
Awesome 👍 band, great performance.the guitarist made his guitar cry and wipe it's own tears, the young lady made her violin sing and give it's own standing ovation..great
I'm 73 years young 🧒, saw hendrix Clapton, heard this about two, weeks ago, can't stop playing it, 😜 👍, methinks it's the best one, wow 👍 🎸🎸😎😜
Without doubt one kick ass version 🎸👍 😄 😎
Beautiful version of such a Great Song
the best part of getting old is the music just gets better and better.
Thank you. Your comment is refreshing so many complain about "music today". Look up Larkin Poe.
☮️❤️
Jim doss:Especially this kind of music .
@@frankboyd. OMG! mad as a hatter👍👍👍
@@jimidoss8513 damn straight
Fantastic best version ever. 70 years old, grew up with Hendrix and Dylan great somebody is keeping he faith.
Yes I agree
I am also 70... I listen to this if not every day, every other day!
70 20 11 45 ....belive me it's all the same in the end
70 here. I agree wholeheartedly. Best ever. The kid has the best interlude on that guitar in this session. I’ve heard this song played by him in another band. It didn’t compare. Ann Harris is fantastic too.
Every once and again I stumble across a cover of an old song from the days of youth. Most, I just skate on by unimpressed. However, this is one not to be ignored. Many thanks to Otis, Anne and the rest of the band for THE best version of "Hey Joe" I have ever heard.
The thing about these RUclips rabbit holes that I can't get over is how many smoking hot bands are out there. Brilliant!
They all Killing it....
Yeah this was fantastic
Completely addicted to the rabbit hole effect🥰
Was thinking the same .. these guys are fantastic. I found Laura Cox band tonight also .. just Wow !

Dear Otis, you really know hou to choose good musicians. Excellent playing. Greece
This is the best version i have ever heard this song, this group rocks!
That's a MONSTER cup of Joe, a bag of chips, and the whole Enchilada for sho. I am a Jimi purist but that interpretation was a Masterpiece 🎤
Sheer joy.This band just rocks.No fuss. No faff. Just top quality musicianship.They rock it like no one else can.
I'm no music authority by any means
And never have been but,...to the best of my feeble knowledge, ..there is Extreme Talent here.
Un trio extraordinaire une version de + de hé joe ! putain que c est bon !!! !! !
You are right about dat!!
Awesome set, supreme timing, skill and wondrous abandonment.... Jimi would dig it.... Wow
Yes, i have heard about 1000 covers of Hey Joe in my life too, but this version is the best!
Love this band! Otis Taylor took Hey Joe to another level.
Been playing this for a long time I never tire of this fantastic performance
Amazing!!!!Otis Taylor and his band are unbelieveable!!!...Ann Harris i have fallen in love with you!What a woman,what a musician!!!
I never liked the lyrics but I finally had to give it props AND a OH WOW! YES YEAH! Great version.
Amazing solos! My jaw dropped when the Taylor started increasing the intensity of that solo then stopped. Then Anne comes in with her absolutely stunning performance shredding that bow, never heard a violinist rock it like that, even Taylor was smiling through it. This is sleeper performance that deserves way more recognition.
If you like nontraditional violin then you might want to also check out Jean Luc Ponty, a jazz violinist, if you haven't already. And speaking of jazz, Dorothy Ashby's "hip harp" is also worth a listen--another example of an unexpected instrument.
I like your music. She is really great. With love, with all my heart from russia...I am against war and I really want peace in this world now, right now, at this moment, but unfortunately there is nothing I can do against it, except to create music and make the world a better place...R.I.P Jimmy Hendryx. Music - is the greatest creation of mankind and I believe that it is able to turn it around for the better. Peace for everyone.
✌😁✌
I've been watching this for a year off and on. The part that gets my every time (begins at 2:30 to 4:30) is where the camera closes up on Tyler to start his solo.
That's is my greatest piece of art in this painting of a performance. Every time I listen, I hear some new nuance I didn't notice before it seems. Can't stop watching and listening. 🤣
A riveting rendition. So much to take in. Cant stop playing it.
...And R.I.P to those 829 empty "Thumbs down" souls. Forgive them, for they know not what what they hear!
you have to be kiddin me,this takes the cake for the worst cover of hey joe,your average pub/tavern band could easily do a better job
@@jeefder Well Brother-its all in how each person is hearing the delivery of the sound. Thinking big picture-If this was China/North Korea-The both of us couldn't say shit. Hope you & family are safe during this pandemic. Regards.
@@jeefder Hey Jeff, just because you don't know what your talking about doesn't make you a bad person, now. I might do the same in your shoes.
@@jeefder And your musical background is...... ?
Jeff Shepherd, I’m not sure you understand what you’re seeing. It’s not really about the cover of “hey Joe” you know that right?
And that ladies and gentlemen is how you absolutely destroy a fiddle... Outstanding
You know it my friend.
I like how....
she is calmly pulling horses hair tail feathers out of Her Bow....

One BADD ASS Guitar Player!!!
LOVE THE VIOLIN
Best version of this song ever. I wish Otis Taylor would tour near me. Ana is entrancing.
I have listened to this version at least 100 times, and amazed each time.
Every time I hear this song it gets better.
Dude blown away 😎, 😂🎸👍, Brilliant version of a classic 🎸
Killer rendition!!! Overwhelming amount of talent went into this version. Jimi must be smiling up in heaven.
@Martin G go back in the basement meathead
You shouldn't say such dis-respectful things. Especially about someone who can't speak to comment. Why make such a irrational claim ? Why even mention Jimi ? Why single him out ? He was just one of many who did a cover of this song. (didn't mean it ? Then your just sloppy . . . if you do "believe" then keep your non-sense to yourself. Why start a fight ?).
I've watched this so many times and I've come to the conclusion that Taylor Scott is channeling some famous musical genius, I'm mesmerized every single time, he's bad to the bone❣
The youngster on the guitar is magic.
Well, that was excellent. That fiddle made the whole thing.
There are about a million versions of hey joe out there, this is so different, yet absolutely fantastic, great job!
This is the best version of "Hey Joe", post Jimi Hendrix of course, that I've ever heard. How Talented Otttis Taylorr Anny Harris and the other musicians. I liked it very much
Best version ever
I love the way Otis coaxed a bit more solo from this kid - knowing he had more in there to get out! Brilliant.
Jimi H and Papa John Creach are beaming in the ether at this spectacular rendition.The modulation of the tempo and tones are mesmerizing and engrossing.
So simple playing, but true to the core ! Simplicity at its finest!!
Best rendition yet.
Lead guitarist has talent to burrrn, AMAZING!
DAMN! another brilliant take on a classic tune. This band is smoke! First time hearing them. Sure glad I stumble upon. Thanks for post.☮️🎸❤️
Thanks RUclips for actually giving me something I like in my recommendations.
Anne Harris just compliments Otis awsome sound keep it coming
I've got fever and the chills and it ain't Covid. Best 15 minutes of Hey Joe I've ever witnessed.
15 minutes? I won't ask for back. Nice! \m/
I agree man. I've just came across this band. Now I'm hooked.
Covid is bullshit, big business going fascist / communist to crush all the little fish. ww3 is a virtual war started with a bullshit MEDIA BLITZKRIEG. HAng em all to the pope and queen.
Beautiful music!
Absolutely fantastic... I don't have words to describe this accurately 🙏
Pure joy to listen too and see these people.
Bellissima versione di questo straordinario brano Hey Joe... Complimenti alla Otis Taylor Band
What a version of Hey Joe what a lead player, amazing music.
FUCKIN AMAZING!THIS IS PURE ART!
I'm [a Kiwi, New Zealander] listening to this on 27/11/2020 and it would have been Jimi Hendrix' 73rd birthday. I am so sure Jimi would love this version. Even though the copyright [authorship/writer] belongs to Billy Roberts in 1962, to me I have always associated 'Hey Joe' with Jimi Hendrix - his version is easily my favorite. And as I listen to this video I'm actually getting slight shivering tingles in my spine...Jimi's spirit is sending me signals that he is present and is loving it and I'm feeling it. So Otis Taylor Band and in particular Taylor Scott and violin virtuoso Anne Harris - thank you so much for your sizzling version of 'Hey Joe', myself and Jimi's spirit really appreciates and loves your performance.
I love the blues but holy fuck this was completely off the wall amazing
Blown away. Thank you for that feeling.
God I can't take my eyes off of this band, trying to watch every one at once
The whole band is incredible. Watching Taylor Scott, when he's not soloing he just looks like he's died and gone to heaven being on stage with these cats. He reminds me of Tal Wilkenfeld in her days with Jeff Beck that way.
The lead player is astonishing!!!! Where can I hear more of his playing bloody brilliant!
Taylor Scott.
Taylor Scott Band....
Man otis Taylor, sure is, one hell of a guitar picker and player, 😅, brilliant band 👍🎶
Saw this band at the old Dazzle in Denver. It took my brain a moment for me to realize what song he was playing. The crowd were on their feet from then on! Fabulous!
Wow!!! Nearly speechless. The beauty in musicians' ability to create music is amazing. It also transcends time. I'm commenting on this video posted nearly 5 1/2 years ago. Wow!
