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
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.
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.
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.
@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
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^^
When you guys get up and play it in front of 30000 people, you can dedicate it to whomever you want. Who wrote the song has nothing to do with it at all, only who influenced him to play it, or maybe to play guitar for that matter. It's a personal thing, so don't judge. Word.
Closest thing to Hendrix our lifetime will ever fucking know.
if Jimi sees this , I think , is really really happy.
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.
I am discovering Jimi every day!
This never gets old.
the part where it goes into Kashmir is pretty sweet too this guy is just plain amazing
@janiee32 Wrong. Jimi Hendrix wrote this in 1968. It was first recorded on Electric Ladyland. Stevie covered it.
VOOOOOOODOOO CHILEEEEE
hes a sick lapsteel guitar player with alot of feeling, this is the real deal!
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.
Harper playng like Hendrix and finish with Zeppelin - Kashmere. Nice!!!
This is soo good... Man he can play slide, and props to for respecting Stevie Ray. Harper shreds.!!
His slide work is pretty badass!
Voodoo Chile and Kashmir.....Pure Goodness!!!!!!
This is a really sick jam! Just got into Ben Harper, didn't know he did this stuff!
Best of the best
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 💗
A little Kashmir in there too by Led Zep is what I hear also
That's what music needs to come back too hell yes
Fuckin' great version !! Slide guitar Ben Harper's play is awesome !
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.
kashmir riff during the middle of the song is sick
As if his fabulous voice isn't enough! Thank you!
First I heard this song. Like how he gave it a bit of a 90s feel while keeping the root of the song.
semplicemente impressionante!!!!!!!!
voodoo slide !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God....what a song, what an artist....
Holy shit. 11 out of 10 right there.
O.O...
the little baby on bass is marvelous...Kashmir !?!
hey Jimi did you know this BLACK band? "Ya man I knew them in the sixties"
O.O
Ce mec est un génie.
Saw him Live in Ann Arbor at Hill Auditorium! Great show!
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. |,,/
How have I missed this video before HOLY SHIT!!!
I could def. jam out to this....
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.

@janiee32 Jimi wrote this song. Though it has evolved from previous blues son "Catfish Blues", it's jimi's.
RIP Jimi, RIP SRV!
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
Ben Harper rules
Gotta love the percussion guy.
When Ben cover the classics is bigger than the biggest!!!!!!
Fantástico
Awesome!
Bro.. that one guys job is LITERALLY to smash more cow bell... awesome.
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.
Ben is da Man!
This is SO COOL: Whenever you need to chill out, try this.
yeah and ben also does the vocal lines at certain point...awesome!

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.
