I never thought it was possible to play this solo live. Unbelievable.
epic guitar
What? - playing a tape-reversed Hendrix solo backwards live, so it comes out forward...no problem! (for EJ anyway ;)
Shouldn't the goal be to play your OWN solo live?
@@123jkjk123 Why didn't he play his OWN solo? That would be more interesting from a musical standpoint.
@@123jkjk123 An amazing performance
It's true - Jimi was ONE OF A KIND, but this has to be one of the most authentic guitar lead covers I have ever heard for this song! This guy is superb.
I believe Jimi would feel honored by this rendition of one of his best songs.
Be well.✌🏻
He manages to play the backward parts live! I think if Jimi heard this, he'd just smile and shake his head and say, " I had to do this in a studio". Hats off to you sir.
Jimi Hendrix also played this live
Hendrix could play this with one arm. You simply cannot compare this with the original. As much as I like this and Eric Johnson is a great guitarist, the version is one of personal choice. Jack Bruce, said there are guitar players and then there was Hendrix. If I can be a little silly, "there can be only one Highlander"...
No, he'd say "why didn't he play his OWN solo?"
Hendrix would say, " 'scuse me, while I kiss this guy."
@@PracticaProphetica Probably, but he would also likely say; "why is this cat playing my solo?"
2:09 Those swells and that fast clean attack were truly magnificent. Eric Johnson is a master
If you know.. it might be the most impressive live performance ever.
Wth?? The comments here are just crazy. Best live performance ever?????? Ok😂
@@cyclingmaddad I was kind of drunk and really feeling it when I wrote that comment I think. But it is a truly spectacular performance.. We're all idiots and you're the one with the truth figured out?
There is some sense behind that first comment. For sure the best live electric guitar tone ever recorded and cliffs of Dover in this same live show would probably be one of if not the best instrumental rock performances I’ve seen.
I was hypnotized by this instantly. Different strokes for different folks, though. Once I showed this to Bill Nelson, a great guitarist , my favorite musician, and a snob about some things. He was underwhelmed, saying Eric seemed uninspired, and was overall very unimpressed by the performance. I thought to myself "what the f world are you living in, man , this is beautiful!?". I've been listening to this regularly for over 20 years and it never gets old. Timeless, like Jimi himself.
My 17 year old son turned me on to this. Mom’s soo proud!!!
Been an EJ fan since I bought Tones in '86 my senior year in high school. This cover is incredible. He somehow sends Jimi's soul on a journey through Scotland and India before arriving in Austin.
Good call
Same year that I graduated after high School I couldn't afford college got the best guitar teacher in Philadelphia and wound up starting teaching and playing when I was about 18 istart teaching at harcum college Eric is just unbelievable
He highlights the absolute beauty of the song- doesn't try to show off in the solo-
I love this. Eric makes this cover of the Hendrix classic his own. Which is what we hope to do performing any cover song.
No he doesn't. As a matter of fact he literally played what Jimi plays on this song in the studio. NONE of this is Eric's. It's Jimi's solo that Jimi played backwards.
@@vbassone I know its amazing.
although after 3:50 its eric
@@red_z8069 ??
@@vbassone Yes, please continue to discourage people from enjoying an epic performance of a great song. This is the best possible use of your life. Peace and long life to you, Epic Shitbag!
Jimi would have loved this!
YT just reccomended this to me, like 8 years later!
omg, years after listenning this cover, i realized the solo he played live at 2:00 that jimi hendrix recorded, flipped and put on the album that way. now i am today years old. thank you mr. eric johnson
Jimi played this live a couple times
Best Hendrix cover ever performed
Are you crazy? Or just really young…?
@@cyclingmaddad they are steve ray vaughan and jeff beck not many more that can really respect the original and combined them with theu ir own playing.....tell us who more
@@cyclingmaddad No, I'm 46 and have played since the age of 11. Elaborate with some enlightening information rather than toss childish insults around. This is the best single piece of Hendrix music ever covered, I'll say it again. No SRV, Gales, JB, Hansen interpretation can touch the levels of details this piece encompass. List your songs so I can explain to what we call "shiet ears" why you are wrong. You do not play or understand the guitar on a level to understand perfection when you see it. I really hope you send me links to SRV performances or RUclipsrs playing in their bedroom, I know that's what you think is greatness.
@@dingusfuzzklonnkt2755 I agree with every word. There's something magical about this performance, and all other attempts at Hendrix covers pale in comparison. I always thought the SRV Hendrix covers were kinda one dimensional and elementary, and others just not very interesting.
@@MrLuridanI absolutely agree.
Beautiful cover version!Hats off!
Great job Eric
Wow! Such a beautiful and tasteful cover, and showing absolute mastery of the Strat.
Mystical is the word and I am a refugee from the 60's. Awesome work!
Great tune from the best hair in the guitar world!
His hair rocks! lol.
Joe ScienceVegan hi
Not his tune. It’s a cover of Jimi Hendrix.
I love this version , it's very respectful to the original .
Holy cow to play that solo live !
Wish that I could hit the "Like" button, 10,000 times!!!!!
Man, of all the Hendrix songs to attempt live, this is a pretty big swing but he pulled it off and sounded great. I saw him in a little club in Virginia in 1989, amazing talent.
Would LOVE to be playing and standing in front of those Marshall and Fender heads! 🤟
Damn EJ you played the thing , first time ever hearing someone other than Jimi perform the Song 🎵 😊😊😊
I like it how he treats the iconic song in a very Hendrixy way with a lot of respect, then at 3:50 goes into full Eric Johnson-mode.
On that level those cats Symply are all unique , no matte what they play ! But Hendrix started something and only Beck understood that it's possible to create a complete new aproach to TONE CONTROL without ever letting the feedback take over ( we all hope it works but Beck knew what to do to get what he wanted ! Hendrix took risks , Beck didn't !
I mean... 3.50 till the end, you must be a special kind of person to play that beautiful soloing. A dreamer
Amazing rendition. He even figured out how to duplicate the feedback. I can't imagine how many how hours he spent uncovering Jimi's secrets.
So Awesome!
Yes Jimi played this live in Bridgeport Ct in 68 or so..., I was there..it was quite the Experience ! Yeh..he played the backwards parts too..EJ plays it right..he "IS" Experienced !
The guy is from another planet
I learn each time I watch this
Even the power hums along. Amps really are another dimension to the instrument. I hope everyone here lives long enough to not only discover it, but share their findings in such an audio report as this concert. :)
Have you ever been Experienced? I have. Saw Eric and Steve Miller at Red Rocks on August 7, 1991. Beautiful night, Great Show.
jimi would be completely proud of him ! nice job
Fantastic, the impossible is possible!!!!!!
That solo live may be the best thing ever.
My favorite guitarist EVER! For my money, the best to ever do it!!!
This puts Eric on my TOP 5 Guitar God list.
This guy blows me away! I love his Hendrix covers! He even sings like him!
With Mr. Brock on Bass and Mr. Taylor on Drums...what a "cover" this band was so great! Mr. Johnson is STILL one of the five greatest musicians I've ever heard or met!
I love thiss!!! Saw this at Berklee Performance Ctr in Boston around 1991 and one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Love you Eric!
Beautifully played by the whole band and it remjnds me of when i heard the track first eith schoolchums just after the LP came out... It blew me away as super profundo, a new music i so loved to hear. So amazing it was then and so is EJ's guitar playing here!
great memories of shows long past. EJ is an under-appreciated genious
The perfect musical memory. Eric actually played this song note for note with what Jimi has on vinyl. They used tape to create the 'special effects' on the original release. Jimi, had he stayed here, could have figured this out in time. He was seemingly in musical psychedelic overdrive, although when I listen to him on film talking, now 56 (since me being ten years old) years gone by, he doesn't sound stoned on anything I've heard thus far. Jimi came into my head in 1967 and has never left. I'm here listening to an astonishing rendering of Jimi's studio creation fifty plus years gone by and am amazed. I listened to this entire presentation and do not hear a missed note or memory error on Eric's part. I know that some parts don't sound exactly the same as the studio creation, however Eric is aware as well. It is apparent on his face. "Peace Love and Happiness" Jimi Hendrix 1967
I was here and it was an experience. After the show we went and watched the raw video with the band. Like I said, it was an experience!
Mind = Blown
El más bello, elegante, original y perfecto cover que he escuchado de una composición de Hendrix.
Complete mastery of an instrument 🙌👏
This is FANTASTIC!! Bravo Eric! Jimi is looking down like DIG THIS! Love it. Thanks Eric!!
I love this guy. He’s so good it’s unreal. 😊
What Eric did live with this solo is more impressive than anything live I’ve heard from Hendrix. Simply amazing
such a great rendition
Absolute Master! Thanks for your art!
He took the time to learn this thanks Eric for playing Jimi Hendrix song
Look at the faces in that crowd,.....THEY KNOW HOW AWESOME THIS WAS!
Best Eric jhnson guitar ❤❤
What a song!Beautiful.
That string skipped arpeggio at about the 5:12 mark gives me chills every time I hear it. ❤
A very smooth rendition.
Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you, sir.
Great guitarists come in different groups (specialists) but for technical and soulful style mastery, Eric Johnson is right on top.
Great interpretation, but can't hide that signature EJ guitar sound, love it
My favorite Jimi remake
hendrix wished he could play guitar like Eric Johnson
Exactly what im saying
Who do you think taught Eric?
Have had the pleasure of seeing EJ live three times. Once, in Nashville, he played downtown on the Cumberland river. At one point, he was playing his tribute to SRV. The General Jackson was slowly moving by in the background, and it seemed-for a moment-that the Ghost of Stevie visited while Eric played. STILL brings me to tears.
So cool saw Hendix live in Philadelphia I don't think he could have played his own song so well
Amazing cover!
Amazing Eric!
Thank you for this...Jimi would be happy of this tribute.
Awesome Eric Johnson. You are so magical
Awesome cover! He added his own style to the song#! Nice!!!!
With something will bring Hendrix back from the sky straight to the stage, he promises you only one! This is him! What a performance I'm dying, what a hot sound! It's perfect, the most perfect. Not even walking.
Took the sound of dear HEndrix. Make it a classic piece!. I thought HEndrix in the classic? Who can believe?! you stood and in your abilities to give the emotion. this. that you know how to give! that the guitar is flying!. And lifts the soul and warms the heart!.Let you feel heaven for a few minutes 😮😮. Good night !.Hendrix in classical
!By E J. The greatest guitarist
in the world Today !.I love you Eric!!!!!.
My old Dera friend Eric ... "Not necessarily stoned, but ... mystical."
Damn this is good.
My God! As a Hendrix collector it is almost sacrilige to admit it but I prefer this one to the original. If Hendrix "...Watchtower" is the pinnacle of Dylan covers then this is the pinnacle of Hendrix covers.
σοφός I prefer the studio version but this is practically the greatest live recording of this song I know and thought this could never be successfully recreated live. Never too old to be proven wrong.
not even close to the original, but does a good job with the song for sure.
I almost agree with you. I would say it's a different take with its own merits.
Almost like a highland tune.
@@fernandes5986 ok, its own merits but, I DEFINITELY couldn't truthfully say it's on PAR with Jimi's version!!!
Man i cant get over how much i hear Ty Tabor's future Gretchen era playing in this
Very Special Nice. .. Great Sounds and Stuff. .. Thank' s so Much Mr. Johnson for Music Experienced ... ☺😊😀/💙💙💙/👍👌👏👋
Incredible.
What a cover...
Brilliant ❤
Best cover I've heard of this epic song. That @2:09 solo reverse is transcendent. Fender Twin amps.
What a cover, guys!
This is mind boggling. It would take a good guitar player a year of practice all day everyday to figure this one out…
Absolutely fucking superb.
This I just incredible
Are You Experienced
Jimi Hendrix
If you can just get your mind together
Then come on across to me
We'll hold hands an' then we'll watch the sun rise from the bottom of the sea
But first
Are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
Well, I have
I know, I know
You'll probably scream n' cry
That your little world won't let you go
But who in your measly little world are trying to prove that
You're made out of gold and -a can't be sold
So-er, are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
Well, I have
Ah, let me prove it to you
Trumpets and violins, I can hear in the distance
I think they're calling our names
Maybe now you can't hear them, but you will
If you just take hold of my hand
Ah! But are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful...
I love this song, It's totally awesome 😎
Absolutely brilliant, SUCH control..
If you watch his interviews he seems so humble and friendly. That slight Texas drawl. His voice is almost soothing singing.
🎸🎵🌹Awesome Eric Johnson🌹🎵🎸
Ever wondered how to do backwards forwards? Genius!!
Lindo desse jeito nem precisava tocar tão bem!
Hendricks Created This, But Eric Perfected It....... Amazing
It’s all about them volume swells baby
Awesome....great cover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fricken sweet
good cover,Eric!!
...gotta love the Band Major suit!!
wow. no words. except those i guess..
Wow! Just..........Wow!
this solo is absolutely wild if you close your eyes. you really cant tell what the fuk is being played, and at times sounds identical to a backwards track.
Why does EVERY Cover Artist who plays Jimi, thinks that there is or was something Mystical about it....Well, I'm here to tell You, the Magic is in the Fingering and how you touch the Guitar Strings, Your way....Even with a taste of the Other Artist your covering...Amen.
You know you’re an absolute artist-technician when you mess with the amps while you’re playing
One of the best covers ever. Anyone really believe EJ cannot setup a heavy distorted/pedalled out sound to overtake Hendrix? This would be a huge disrespect. But look at all he has done in this cover=magical. The question all should ask is how Hendrix or SRV will do when covering EJ's "Zap" from this same concert....
Great song,great performance-shocking hairstyle!
epic outro from master
