  • Watch Randy Hansen and his band perform Jimi Hendrix's "1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)" from Electric Ladyland, the greatest album in rock history.
    Randy Hansen, guitar virtuoso and one of the few guitarists in the world to be recognised by the Hendrix family played at QPAC in Brisbane on 31st May, 2016. He brought his explosive guitar interpretations reminiscent of all that was breath taking and spellbinding about Jimi Hendrix.
    Randy Hansen, the Seattle-born firebrand, has been stunning audiences worldwide with his explosive homage since the 1970s. He has even unleashed his uncanny virtuosity and dazzling charisma alongside Hendrix’s own former bandmates, Mitch Mitchell, Noel Redding and Buddy Miles. Over 40 years, he has shared stages with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Steve Miller, Paul Rodgers, Sammy Hagar, Herbie Hancock, Robert Cray and Bob Seger. He has been acclaimed by Eddie Van Halen and Eddie Vedder and released more than a dozen albums including Hendrix by Hansen.

    if you cover you can go 2 ways; true to the original or youré own version.
    True to the original takes guts if youré covering the best.
    Hansen nails it; sound, intensity, technique, feel, improv, the works; inmense respect !!!

    Randy completely blows my mind I along with the crowd were speechless at the end i never have heard anyone play jimi hendrix songs and and sound correct Randy not only has the ability to play hendrix right but takes us to the next step and blasts into outerspace only the man himself could until Randy he truly is a medicine man because he is channeling jimi

      Every time I listen to Randy and his band I dream like I was on Jimi’s presence! It sounds perfect, just as the Jimi’s records. Hopefully someday I will be at those shows (living in South America makes it difficult but not impossible)!

    I have read that Jimi never performed this song live, and I don't believe I have ever seen a clip of him doing it either over all the years I have been searching and watching Jimi's videos. An amazing performance Randy. Saw a performance you and the band did in Brisbane a few years ago. Took my daughter who was brought up on Jimi's music and similar. She could not believe how great you are and how much you sound like him.

    Hooray, I awake from yesterday
    Alive but the war is here to stay
    So my love, Katherina and me
    Decide to take our last walk
    Through the noise to the sea
    Not to die but to be reborn
    Away from a life so battered and torn
    Forever, forever
    Oh, say can you see, it's really such a mess
    Every inch of earth is a fighting nest
    Giant pencil and lipstick tube-shaped things
    Continue to rain and cause screaming pain
    And the Arctic stains
    From silver blue to bloody red
    As our feet find the sand and the sea
    Is straight ahead, straight up ahead
    Well, it's too bad, that our friends can't be with us today
    Well, that's too bad
    "The machine that we built would never save us"
    That's what they say
    (That's why they ain't coming with us today)
    And they also said
    "It's impossible for man to live and breathe underwater forever"
    Was their main complaint
    (Yeah)
    And they also threw this in my face, they said:
    "Anyway, you know good and well
    It would be beyond the will of God
    And the grace of the King"
    Grace of the King, yeah, yeah
    So my darling and I make love in the sand
    To salute the last moment ever on dry land
    Our machine has done its work, played its part well
    Without a scratch on our bodies and we bid it farewell
    Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile
    Before our heads go under, we take a last look
    At the killing noise of the out of style
    The out of style, out of style
    So down and down and down and down
    And down and down we go
    Hurry, my darling, we mustn't be late for the show
    Neptune champion games to an aqua world is so very dear
    Right this way, smiles a mermaid
    I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
    Atlantis full of cheer
    I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
