Jimi. Anything he played, he took to levels that nobody, even those who wrote the songs, could've ever imagined. Im sure Steve Winwood loved this. And Bob Dylan... Jimi played "All Along the Watchtower" so fierce, Dylan literally said to him "Its YOURS now." Imagine The Beatles. Just releasing Sgt Pepper's, and just TWO days later, Jimi comes out onstage, and absolutely shreds it. THE MASTER OF THE STRATOCASTER. Think how great the music from that time period was. We're STILL listening to it, introducing our KIDS and Grandkids to it. And its STILL absolutely incredible. I waa a little, naked 3 year old running around at Woodstock with Hippies for Parents. I hate to say this, but I hate what the World has turned into these days. I wish we could go back. ✌️
Ehhhh I don't think so. Love Hendrix but I'm not an idolater. His "Like a Rolling Stone" is great alongside Dylan's, but I prefer the eeriness and ominous quality of Dylan's original "All Along the Watchtower". This rendition of Mr Fantasy is interesting for the sake of Hendrix guitar technique but it doesn't replace the Traffic original.
@@folderol8487 You're more than entitled to your opinion, Id never take that away from anyone. But to call me an "idolater" when nearly EVERY World Class guitarist (as well as most fans of Rock music) consider Hendrix to be the greatest guitarist who ever lived, that's just rediculous. I don't "idolize" Jimi. I love his playing, and his music. And honestly, he's not even my favorite musician. But I definitely am of the opinion that he was more than just phenomenally talented. Jimi was, by all accounts, a Force of Nature. And according to people who, in their own right, have achieved "Legendary" status, like Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, BB KING, Stevie Ray Vaughan, I could go on and on because the list is nearly endless, Jimi Hendrix was doing things with a guitar that just left people speechless. There's NO way that fact can be denied. To your point though, Jimi's version of All Along the Watchtower is obviously very different than Dylan's. Dylan had his "style", and Jimi had his. Same for Sgt Pepper's. The Beatles' version was incredible. It had a totally different "feel" to it, and was some of their very best work, without question. But the fact that Jimi not only learned the song, flawlessly, and walked out on stage on a Sunday night, just 3 days after The Beatles released the Album, and not only played his Gig, but, with Paul, George, and Ringo there to watch him play cause they were all great admirers of Jimi, When the Curtains came open, Jimi OPENED the Show with Sgt Pepper's, and played it in such an incredible manner that even The Beatles themselves were not just astonished, but Paul was quoted as saying he felt it was "the ultimate compliment" and "one of the great honors of his career". So you see, my Post wasn't about "idolizing" Jimi Hendrix, it's more about recognizing how unbelievably talented he was. And when that opinion of Jimi is shared by many of the most Iconic guitarists and musicians that have ever played, I can't be too far "off base" with my opinion.
@@sandmanCQB8541 Oh yeah and he played behind his back and with his teeth etc etc. All of that to say you don't idolize Hendrix? I'm a little tired of the whole "greatest evah" stuff because the "greatest guitarist EVAH" doesn't exist. There are those you want to listen to more than others. Opinion. As for Sgt Pepper, if we listen to it today at all it's from the Beatles' album, not the Hendrix version. I love Hendrix's work overall, but with "Watchtower" I find his version to be too bombastic while Dylan's is sparse and I like the original better. Period. I couldn't care less what Clapton, Beck et al thought. Or even Dylan. In fact I find too much of the Electric Ladyland album to be meandering, self-indulgent and formless -- sorta like a lot of Cream's more self-indulgent 15 minute jams -- and it's my least favorite of his three studio albums released while he was alive. Opinion. And what does "more than just phenomenally talented" mean? "Force of Nature "? Come on. BTW I didn't call you an idolater. I said I wasn't into such. And hey, I really like this version by Hendrix, unfortunately less than optimal audio and all. But there are lots of great Hendrix and Cream live performances that have been preserved with poor audio. Sad. I'll say one thing though, without Hendrix there wouldn't have been SRV. Heck, the Strats I love might not be around today (except for vintage ones) if Hendrix hadn't come along and revived interest in them (they had been declining in sales for while iirc). I don't deny Hendrix's achievements.
@@folderol8487 I'm actually a much bigger fan of Clapton. And I agree with your take in the whole "Who's the best Guitarist" thing The way I look at that is like this. They're ALL unique in that their style of playing is different, their music is different, etc... So I compare it to Alcohol (bear with me for a moment while I explain). There are many different kinds of Alcohol. Whiskey, Scotch, Vodka, Tequila, etc... There are the crappy brands you get unless you specifically order a drink with a "Top Shelf" brand. Then there are the Top Shelf brands, and then, "above" that, are the brands that are REALLY great. Limited Edition, "Special Reserve" kind of brands. That's how I view all of those Guitarists. Clapton was phenomenal, Jimi was phenomenal, Page was phenomenal, SRV, etc.... All of them are "Top Shelf Special Reserve". They're all phenomenal, but they're all playing with their own Style, their own unique "flavor". I'm not saying one is "better" than the other. They're all "The Best", but the "Best" at what they do and how they play, which is certainly different. I'm just glad to have been born, and to be alive while they've created some of the most amazing music (in my opinion). It speaks volumes that here we are, in some cases, up to 60 years later, still listening to this music, which is still being played on the Radio, and for many of these artists, still playing Concerts. We've lost Legends along the way, and that sucks, but their music is still being played and listened to. The garbage that most of these kids today listen to isn't "music". It's computerized, sampled, altered, and half of them sound (on purpose) like they've drank a bottle of "Henny", and took a few quaaludes. I don't believe it's going to be listened to, 50+ years from now.
@@sandmanCQB8541Well we can end on some notes of agreement and harmony here. Actually I love both Hendrix and Clapton pretty much equally and for slightly different reasons sometimes. It amazes me that both these guys were in their 20s, but both of them had thoroughly immersed themselves in the great blues players but yet found their own voices and style. In fact, to me 60s music *is* Clapton and Hendrix and the differences and similarities between the two (they both loved each other's playing). The area where I think Hendrix really is absolutely awesome is his ability to play rhythm and lead at the same time, on the same guitar, without layering or other effects. I think maybe his training while backing up the Isley Brothers and Little Richard contributed to that. I don't think Clapton ever was as good at that, but at the same time I don't think Hendrix was as good as Clapton at delivering just visceral but yet logical and fluid solos. But then Hendrix never had a Jack Bruce either (although Mitch was fantastic). Love them both. Best wishes to you.
Yes. He was and always will be . I got 16 cds by Jimi. Have you ever Heard MLK jam? Also called Captain Coconut, Hidden track(13) on People, hell and Angels Album It's just AMAZING!!!!
Me thinks there’s more out there and sadly I’ll perhaps be dead before it surfaces. The man was phenomenal impossible to tell the youngsters of it. They can’t phantom it.

@SRV1 SRV was way more than a Bluewater dumbass. He had jazz influences, he had Texas influences... That's where his shuffles came from. He had surf influences, played with dick dale, and the cinema's early. He was so much more than just a blues player... And you have the audacity to take his name?

It really shows the respect he had for smooth jamming music he was very psychedelic but I think he respected Steve winwood's laid back soulful music especially if Jimmy loved Bob Dylan as well. I'm just thinking out loud what a cool song this is

@@jerrywoods4066 Nah... jimi invented most of what you hear other players doing no one is on his level sure lots of great players out there but no one is inventing anything new. Jimi was the greatest ever.
My favorite song to play as the bassist for a group named Dionysus in the early '70s was Dear Mr. Fantasy by Traffic. We (the band) had no idea Hendrix had his own version. He WAS "Mr. Fantasy".
@@jesseacewest In an interview with Mitch Mitchell or somebody , he mentioned that Hendrix wanted to form a group with Traffic . But he never told the band .

Thanks so much. It's something special to hear a track with Mr. Hendrix so central on it that I haven't heard before, and I never was expecting to either.
GRANDE TRAFFIC, SENDO TOCADO POR HENDRIX. QUE BANDA! QUE MÚSICOS! UM SHOW DE SWING, HARD, PROGRESSIVO E ROCK. A ÚNICA BANDA NO MUNDO QUE TEVE COMPETÊNCIA PRA FAZER ISSO.
Totally euphoric, 1st time i have ever heard this from this incredible genius, I have now been blessed, good night & thanks for the upload that Hendrix fans are forever greatful🙏
Glorious! Thank you. I listen to this a lot & just shared it at my new blog. I really appreciate you for making this available to everyone. Thank you so much! XOXO
Better? I don't know. Steve Winwood really knocked out some great guitar soloing on that song. I witnessed him perform it live a few times. He was fantastic on guitar. Most people don't know he was a phenomenal lead guitarist before switching to keyboards. Jimi's cover is good, of course, but Winwood's soloing and vocals hold their own, to say the least.
@@jerrywoods4066 Put his stamp on it, that's for sure. I could see him really polish it over time, kinda like All Along the Watchtower. McCartney said Jimi played Sgt Pepper (I think) at a London show only 2 days after it was released by the Beatles to pay tribute to Paul, who was in attendance. Cool. Dear Mr Fantasy fits him well.
@@jerrywoods4066 Yeah, Steve Winwood is one of my favorite vocalists. Another is Peter Green, founder of Fleetwood Mac. Great guitar, even better vocals. Jimi could have fully extended the guitar solos to really make it his own. Probably headed there. I get the impression he was just getting started with this song.
Talk about a big surprise!!! I had no idea Jimi ever covered this Gem 💎!!!! Though Steve Winwood played organ on Voodoo Child from the Electric Ladyland album.
Wow! Always been a huge Hendrix fan but never knew he covered this amazing song. Saw Eric & Steve Winwood at Wembley (quite) a few years back & they played a sensational version of it... as did Steve when appearing with Steely Dan a bit more recently.
This guy was really linked with Magie phenomenon.. this is a magician, making out of a guitar colors sound vibration that involves pictures patterns that our human eyes dont see but our heart feels.. a feeling an another world made with beauty and peace ..
When I listen to May This Be Love , it's looks like if all those sound, ideas comes from waters .. During the last part of the song, the lead guitar, its sound somewhere as if we could be at the beach and ear the waves coming and going.. there is something purely flowing in his music, purely eternal , May This be Love is a beautiful example of it, just as this one .. Pure mystical magical expression
Doctor Kornyphone must have been in the crowd with his new handy dandy solid state portable tape recorder. Thank God the batteries didn't run low...😎 PS- I guess those were the Doctor's girlfriends sitting on either side of him that we hear in the beginning.
I am dumbfounded. Like others here, I never knew this existed and I have every scrap of Hendrix on vinyl. Thanks for unearthing this hidden treasure. Interestingly, Dave Mason worked for a bit as a roadie for Hendrix before he played in Traffic.
Bruce, sure you are aware Dave played the acoustic on All Along The Watchtower on Jimi's Electric Ladyland LP. There is a small picture of them jamming on the photos on the inside cover. Those were the the days !!
@@paullevine1813 Oh yeah, I knew Dave and so many other greats played on Electric Ladyland. Jimi mastered the powerful slab of sound of layering several acoustic guitars at the same time. George Harrison used it to great effect two years later on My Sweet Lord (RIP Badfinger), and Neil Young did it on Comes a Time. I used to see Dave Mason playing solo in New York in the 70's and he was always great. Besides being an underrated guitar player, he has an amazing voice. I have Alone Together is a classic LP.
JIMI COULD PLAY ANY SONG,ANY PLACE,ANY TIME, IN ANY UNIVERSE AND YOU WOULD STILL THINK IT WAS HIS OWN JAMS.LIKE THE LATE GREAT BRUCE LEE,THEIR LEGACIES WILL BE COPIED BY MANY A GREAT PREFORMER BUT THEIR ULTIMATE ATTEMPTS WILL BE SECOND HAND.ONLY ONE JIMI,ONLY ONE BRUCE.RIP

GRANDE TRAFFIC, SENDO TOCADO POR HENDRIX. QUE BANDA! QUE MÚSICOS! UM SHOW DE SWING, HARD, PROGRESSIVO E ROCK. A ÚNICA BANDA NO MUNDO QUE TEVE COMPETÊNCIA PRA FAZER ISSO.
always loved that song...
Totally euphoric, 1st time i have ever heard this from this incredible genius, I have now been blessed, good night & thanks for the upload that Hendrix fans are forever greatful🙏
Wow.Never heard this b4.Love it.Ty 4 sharin.
Davenport IOWA 1968 @ THE COLONEL..."ARE YOU EXPERIENCED" Changed QUAD CITIES that Night 🤘
Jimi was a magician. 4.13 where the girl says "wow" is emotional for me
We come into this world with nothing ....and leave this world with Hendrix
I love the way he seemed to provide background for his solos
Jimi, asked Traffic to be His Band ,back then, that's how much ..
Didn't know that.....Ty for the heads up !
Glorious! Thank you. I listen to this a lot & just shared it at my new blog. I really appreciate you for making this available to everyone. Thank you so much! XOXO
Jimi putting his style on this great song makes it that much better.
Better? I don't know. Steve Winwood really knocked out some great guitar soloing on that song. I witnessed him perform it live a few times. He was fantastic on guitar. Most people don't know he was a phenomenal lead guitarist before switching to keyboards. Jimi's cover is good, of course, but Winwood's soloing and vocals hold their own, to say the least.
Yeah when it comes to the singing and band sound the original is better jimi just jammed more
@@jerrywoods4066 Put his stamp on it, that's for sure. I could see him really polish it over time, kinda like All Along the Watchtower. McCartney said Jimi played Sgt Pepper (I think) at a London show only 2 days after it was released by the Beatles to pay tribute to Paul, who was in attendance. Cool. Dear Mr Fantasy fits him well.
@@Jahnink not with the singing jimi was OK but he'd never sing that like Steve even with a studio behind him
@@jerrywoods4066 Yeah, Steve Winwood is one of my favorite vocalists. Another is Peter Green, founder of Fleetwood Mac. Great guitar, even better vocals. Jimi could have fully extended the guitar solos to really make it his own. Probably headed there. I get the impression he was just getting started with this song.
I cant believe ive never heard this!?! Thank you!
It's cool because it's basically an inversion of Hey Joe
Just missing the Em tho
His version of this song and Sgt.Pepper are sheer magic!
Wow first time hearing Jimi version bad ass of course.
I PLAYED THIS SONG IN THE 1960s & FOR YEARS AFTER
A COOL SONG TO JAM ON
JIMMI & TRAFFIC TWO OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BANDS

Beautiful ❤🌹
HALLO JIMI, DANKE FÜR DEINEN GITARRENUNTERRICHT
Wow, this is a treasure!
Mas, como sempre, Hendrix é emocionante
I had always thought this Traffic tune had been a nod to Hendrix
All these years...
Hendrix just nodded back ~
You should hear the fillmore west version with hendrix and buddy miles, astronomical
Talk about a big surprise!!! I had no idea Jimi ever covered this Gem 💎!!!! Though Steve Winwood played organ on Voodoo Child from the Electric Ladyland album.
hendrix.....was always a nice guy....jamming lending a hand....good soul
Luckily.I was in High School when Hindrix was playing. Years later,my Son enjoyed listening with me.
Much love to Jimi for what he gave us, not forgetting Mitch
Wow. Just wow. Thank you so much for posting this gem
Wow! Always been a huge Hendrix fan but never knew he covered this amazing song. Saw Eric & Steve Winwood at Wembley (quite) a few years back & they played a sensational version of it... as did Steve when appearing with Steely Dan a bit more recently.
Get it, Mr. Jimi❗️✌🏼
Goosebumps !!! No words
Of all the things we r making HD how bout we start with Jimis Music...
I’ve heard that “they” made Jimi Hendrix the very first hologram ? Years ago ?
1A JIMI
We will never hear all the music he has done in his life time so let's just enjoy all we can.
This guy was really linked with Magie phenomenon.. this is a magician, making out of a guitar colors sound vibration that involves pictures patterns that our human eyes dont see but our heart feels.. a feeling an another world made with beauty and peace ..
When I listen to May This Be Love , it's looks like if all those sound, ideas comes from waters .. During the last part of the song, the lead guitar, its sound somewhere as if we could be at the beach and ear the waves coming and going.. there is something purely flowing in his music, purely eternal , May This be Love is a beautiful example of it, just as this one .. Pure mystical magical expression
Cool. Nice to hear something I haven’t heard before from Jimi....
Wow. I never knew he covered this. It sounds good.
Magic.
God come to earth as the alpha/omega of guitarist
Doctor Kornyphone must have been in the crowd with his new handy dandy solid state portable tape recorder. Thank God the batteries didn't run low...😎 PS- I guess those were the Doctor's girlfriends sitting on either side of him that we hear in the beginning.
Thank you for this.
And god set Jimi on the earth and said “play.”
Amen, he is just amazing
I am dumbfounded. Like others here, I never knew this existed and I have every scrap of Hendrix on vinyl. Thanks for unearthing this hidden treasure. Interestingly, Dave Mason worked for a bit as a roadie for Hendrix before he played in Traffic.
Bruce, sure you are aware Dave played the acoustic on All Along The Watchtower on Jimi's Electric Ladyland LP. There is a small picture of them jamming on the photos on the inside cover. Those were the the days !!
@@paullevine1813 Oh yeah, I knew Dave and so many other greats played on Electric Ladyland. Jimi mastered the powerful slab of sound of layering several acoustic guitars at the same time. George Harrison used it to great effect two years later on My Sweet Lord (RIP Badfinger), and Neil Young did it on Comes a Time. I used to see Dave Mason playing solo in New York in the 70's and he was always great. Besides being an underrated guitar player, he has an amazing voice. I have Alone Together is a classic LP.
Simply Magical!!!!!
listening to him is like diving through ocean waves
que lindo. esses caras mexem com meu coração. fotos comoventes.
God still shines forth Uncle Jimi!!!!! Good Lord we are pray with you!
GOD BLESS JIMMY HENDRIX
Mindblowing. Super Jimi.
Amazing
I'M NOT CRYING!!.. oh. wait.. ..I am.😢💜🤘
Jimi hendrix legend
Wow never heard this! One of my favourite tracks as well
JIMI COULD PLAY ANY SONG,ANY PLACE,ANY TIME, IN ANY UNIVERSE AND YOU WOULD STILL THINK IT WAS HIS OWN JAMS.LIKE THE LATE GREAT BRUCE LEE,THEIR LEGACIES WILL BE COPIED BY MANY A GREAT PREFORMER BUT THEIR ULTIMATE ATTEMPTS WILL BE SECOND HAND.ONLY ONE JIMI,ONLY ONE BRUCE.RIP
Incendiary!! Like the National Anthem at Woodstock.
Beautiful. Puts his own love to it. Never knew it existed.
Respect. Thankyou
