I’ve been a Jimi Hendrix fan for almost 40 years and I’ve never really liked listening to Hendrix Wannabe’s. I’ve never heard this guy before but god you can tell he’s earned his stripes. Absolutely awesome playing, this is someone I would pay to see!!!
I witnessed Randy play with his tribute to Hendrix band Machine Gun in 1979 in Davis, CA. for my 15th Birthday. My brother who was 11 years older than me saw Jimi 5 times and told me this is the closest you will ever get to seeing Hendrix and the show blew me away. Nice post thank you.
Nailed! But took it in his own direction without losing it. Also kinda looks like JH when he smiles and mumbles something like, "and that's his grandma over there."
He's Really Awesome & a Far Out Brother 2 Me , I Have Met Him Several Times During His Concerts OverHere In The Netherlands , Where I'm From , I Have Good Hearted Sweet Memories , Of Those Time with Him & The Band , Most of All During The Meet & Greet after His Concerts , Hopefully I Can Soon See/Hear & Meet Him Again During a New EXP with Randy , He Rocks On Purple Haze 🤟✌😏
Musicians know that playing someone else's instrument is not the most comfortable thing to do.Feel of the neck,action and string gauge come to mind.Randy pulls it off with aplomb and especially it being a Jag vs his usual Strat.He's a star in the Pacific Northwest and keeps the legend of the incomparable Jimi Hendrix alive.Rock on Randy!
I just moved out of Washington State. Saw Randy many times. Ran into him at a Joe Walsh show in Marysville. He is the Apostle Paul of The Electric Church.
Randy IS da man! Impeccable! Beautiful. World Heritage. Speechless! What a wonderful sound-checking vibe. This man a voodoo chile.🎸🎶🎵🌶🤝🙏👀✌🤟🤘👽☠👾🤯🤩✨🎊🧨🎆🌝🚀🦽🌍🦀🥗🦠💐🦚Jimi loved comics☮🕉📵🗿🪔🪖🃏🎯🏓✨⚡🎈🌊💧🎪🌬L👀♨ve Pies🌈⛈🪂🗽💖
I hope this isn’t lost to future generations! Randy is a true high priest of the this era with the requisite musical proficiency and artistry of Jimi Hendricks. Who will or can replace this musical historian when he retires?
I enjoyed this guy. But if you're going for a tribute band, the drummer and bass player would have to step up their games and looks as well. Be your self! If you're a tribute player, be the best tribute player around. Keep up the good work! ROCK ON
No está nada mal Randy. Una ejecución impecable. Ninguna pega que objetar. Has dejado muy alto y muy digno el recuerdo de Jimi Hendrix. Lo cual de por sí es un orgullo para ti y para todos que mantengas la memoria de Jimi en tan alto nivel. 👍💪💟💓
Randy is so incredible. So amazing what he plays. 😊 ✌️. I ve seen him here in my hometown in Oldenburg Germany in Oktober last year in the Cadillac. Talked a little bit about guitar playing and other stuff after the show. So nice guy.. See ya next time when he is here for another show. 😊 ✌️
He even talks like Jimi ! I'm more familiar with Frank Marino and Randy California and I saw live Stevie ray a few times but this guy is the bees knees!
bonjour , je suis fan de srv,je cherche des histoires ,des moments , pour ma connaissance personnelle .je cherche aussi des enregistrements rares et photos .merci .je vous laisserai mon mail si vous voulez correspondre , encore merci.
I’d say that Hansen guy is starting to get that Hendrix tone down. Maybe if he keeps practicing at it one day he might get it. 🤕 Wow You did good pilgrim I’m praying that the Lord, God Almighty will bless me to hear you play live. In the 3 rd row.
I like jags, but hard to get that same sustain and punch as a strat, not knocking them, just a different animal. Love to have a 61. Randy blows my mind. To people that never heard of him , I'll play something by jimi, then same song by Randy, without showing, ask em who's jimi? It's about a 50/50, clearly they're guessing.
I saw an midnight performance (second show ) at the whiskey in 1979 and he started his show coming in on the floor with smoke covering him up and it was permoted as were going to see Jimi Hendrix coming from the grave. My memory is not great over all the years, but I was impressed that a skinny white boy did it fantastic
He does on the west coast and Europe he's pretty big...he's also from Seattle and knows Ann and Nancy Wilson many famous musicians are very aware of Randy the hendrix band Miles Cox redding ,Steve Vai ,Mike McCready this man is a treasure
Saw Randy in late seventies or early eighties--can't remember exactly--and he was already awesome as a Hendrix impersonator. He's only gotten better in the years since. Ironically, I don't think this is one of his better performances, but it certainly doesn't suck.
Randy is confounded by all the switches on the jag...ya a strat is so simple to navigate through a song especially on stage...the guitar looks cool and sounds cool not knocking it..
The Fender Jaguar wasn't released until 1962, that's not even an early Jag either, it's got a laminate finger board on it not a slab. Just sayin'. Randy knocked it out the park as per usual!.
The Amerikkka system got all the treasures incarcerated.How you think Jimi Hendrix Played the red house blues? Catching hell.Ask anybody who has Plantation DNA. All the great jazz,Blues musicians, athletic Legends Got that Plantation DNA. " I am Just saying"... You don't want to talk about the Soul Sister that sing from the deepest pain derived from picking cotton rain or shine.Hendrix threw here my train coming. Earth Blues,Muddy Waters,got my MoJo working.all that's original shit. Voo Doo Chile( Chile Pleeeeezze). Root lady, boot leg, Y'all don't have a clue about chitlin,s Hawg maws, All those ingredients from the Soul Brothers and sisters,Bigg Momma. That's were the music come from the soul and then you wanna get credit and steal it.Make your own,thats why Jimi made 6was9. I ain't gonna copy you.
You can understand what Jimi was about by his own words, what he actually said vs what people later interpreted him to be after his death....and with Jimi, you were basically legit and therefore respected or you were "jive", and if you were jive, he wasn't angry about it but didn't he just didn't want to bother with you. Jimi respected and appreciated talent and didn't think black people had a "corner" on any type of music. He actually thought Elvis was a good blues singer and the way Chas Chandler got Jimi to come to England was on the promise that he could meet Eric Clapton. White and black didn't matter to Jimi. Being good at what you did and sincere in what you were putting across did matter. Jimi appreciated all types of music. He was friends with the Beatles and Joni Mitchell and had a Johnny Cash album in his apartment the night he died.
I agree and I get what your saying. Aint real 'bluesman', and neither was Jimi. Real bluesman was Lightnin Hopkins, real bluesman was Muddy Waters, real bluesman was Blind Lemon Jefferson, real bluesman was Son House, Mother Earth Koko Taylor was a 'blues WOMAN'. Hendrix and Clapton never worked on a prison farm, sharecropped, rode the rails, worked the honky tonks in the deep south, were within a generation of slavery... There is a big difference between 'bluesman' and 'musician that plays the blues'. Made the argument many times over the years. You dont get it? You dont actually 'get' the blues. Them folks are all dead now Burnsides was one of the last. Some folks will never get it. There aint no 'bluesman' alive today just guys and gals who play the blues its two totally different things.
You talking like you know Janie Business,you don't know "ump" about his sister's bizz,but you do know for a fact that & we all can see plainly Randy $tealing off Jimi Hendrizzzzxx Fame.
I ain't looking at his sister. I looked at Robin Trower,Creamy who you want never hear him play.Hendrix ain't never lived to Die for somebody to carry his torch son.Randy might as well use Jimi toothbrush and piss like Jimi since he want to Dress.act,try to talk& walk like him. All true Legends are one & only. When you respond to me. Come Correct. HENDRIX dealt with racism,and everything else Black musicians went thru in the Amerikkka 50's 60's.Hendrix played Black in the USA before 🌟🌠 🎊 he came a 🌟.Now you getting recognized off his Plate.Always stealing from a Brother.
Man you’re wrong here. Buddy Miles, ya know Jimis friend, the drummer of band of Gypsies, A BLACK MAN, was great friends with Randy. toured with Randy. Jimi’s own family has said the only person that should be doing a tribute to Jimi is Randy Hansen. It’s all about keeping Jimi’s legacy alive✌🏻

Hay bra u gotta hear Gary Moore play red house this cat really plays hella good. U in for a surprise when hear Gary m play this awesome riff. Enjoy 😉
@@timomalley1470 I do like Gary Moore, fantastic blues player. I saw him live a couple of years before he died and it was an awesome gig.
@@waynehughes8297you’re doing yourself a disservice if you only know “blues player” gary
@@timomalley1470garys rendition of red house doesnt even scratch the surface on how good he was
@@knightfall9394 for sure, all his stuff is excellent but his blues stuff was on another level.
Everything about this guy is perfect. The faces, the tone of his voice, his playing. He's got perfect swag for the blues.
If there's such a thing as a transfer of energy through music...this guy is the sun!! Keep shining Sir, for the sake of us all, and thank you!!!!
Freaking awesome. The man is a treasure.
Not really hes good but we've already had a stevie ray Vaughn.yhe hats a giveaway always
Obviously hes trying to be little stevie dresses like him plays a little like him ..but hes not stevie
He better be carefull of stevie's brother .. ripping off stevie's material not cool
What a fake
@@rickwaldron4255 why do you want that genre and style of music to die so much?
I saw this guy about 40 years ago at the Whiskey, on Sunset blvd. Also at the Long Beach arena. Wow .
Saw this guy at a casino north of Santa Fe NM about 10 years ago. Maybe fifty people in the audience, Randy played Hendrix flawlessly!
Solid. And on a fender jag he’s never played.
I Gotta go see Randy one of these days. He`s Been around for ages.
Love that blues version that Jimi did and love version that randy does 👍🏿
Just so ya know.....not a version Jimi covered....he wrote this gem.
I witnessed Randy play with his tribute to Hendrix band Machine Gun in 1979 in Davis, CA. for my 15th Birthday. My brother who was 11 years older than me saw Jimi 5 times and told me this is the closest you will ever get to seeing Hendrix and the show blew me away. Nice post thank you.

The Fellas Killin It.. And WOW a 61' Jaguar... A True Treat ☺☺😎💯💯
How do you make a Jaguar sustain like that?
He's Really Awesome & a Far Out Brother 2 Me , I Have Met Him Several Times During His Concerts OverHere In The Netherlands , Where I'm From , I Have Good Hearted Sweet Memories , Of Those Time with Him & The Band , Most of All During The Meet & Greet after His Concerts , Hopefully I Can Soon See/Hear & Meet Him Again During a New EXP with Randy , He Rocks On Purple Haze 🤟✌😏
The struggle was real on that Jag lol….Randy is such a pro he pulls it off though :)
"Randy is the man,he really nails the whole Jimi Vibe"

You made my day, thanks, that was beautiful.
Best wishes to you.
Red House is the quintessential blue song. And when done well y’all know why. Perfect example.
I enjoyed this guy. But if you're going for a tribute band, the drummer and bass player would have to step up their games and looks as well. Be your self! If you're a tribute player, be the best tribute player around. Keep up the good work! ROCK ON
In my mind... I'm back at , " The Keystone in Berkeley" California listening to his brilliance @ 1982.. Sublime
No está nada mal Randy. Una ejecución impecable. Ninguna pega que objetar. Has dejado muy alto y muy digno el recuerdo de Jimi Hendrix. Lo cual de por sí es un orgullo para ti y para todos que mantengas la memoria de Jimi en tan alto nivel. 👍💪💟💓
Bien dicho muy Bien dicho !
Never saw Jimi Hendrix? No worries. There's Randy Hansen. He channels Hendrix. Only discovered him on RUclips the other day. Simply amazing.
I'll bet that this guy can play anything he wants to !
The guy is insanely talented and sounds just like Jimi but at what point is it an Elvis impersonator?
Randy is so incredible.
So amazing what he plays. 😊 ✌️. I ve seen him here in my hometown in Oldenburg Germany in Oktober last year in the Cadillac.
Talked a little bit about guitar playing and other stuff after the show.
So nice guy..
See ya next time when he is here for another show. 😊 ✌️

🤕 Wow
You did good pilgrim
I’m praying that the Lord, God Almighty will bless me to hear you play live. In the 3 rd row.
he plays like an extension of his arm, no tension at all

You never will, as the first Jaguar was made in 1962
I saw an midnight performance (second show ) at the whiskey in 1979 and he started his show coming in on the floor with smoke covering him up and it was permoted as were going to see Jimi Hendrix coming from the grave. My memory is not great over all the years, but I was impressed that a skinny white boy did it fantastic
He really in the soul of Hendrix
If Hendrix see him playing
He would give Noble price
Looks more like a '64 or '65 Jaguar. Looks to be a veneer board, not a slab. Dots look too white to be clay, more than likely pearl.
1:23 anyone else think for a second that the drummer just got scorched by a flame thrower? 😂
Beautiful Jaguar...
Saw Randy at the Paramount in Seattle 1978.
I remember seeing Randy perform on Sam Kinison's last stand up comedy appearance years ago. Great guitar player.....
i mean he's got the showmanship 🙂
The best guitarist since Hendrix, please come to the UK where Jimi found fame, the same will happen for you.
He looks just like I remember about 30 years ago when I saw him in Hollywood.
Me too. He played the Point East in Lynwood, IL. around 1985. AMAZIMG hes still doing it!
This guy should be playing bigger venues and at least opening for some major acts. Awesome!!
He should , but I'd rather see him in a smaller place. Always a better experience
He does on the west coast and Europe he's pretty big...he's also from Seattle and knows Ann and Nancy Wilson many famous musicians are very aware of Randy the hendrix band Miles Cox redding ,Steve Vai ,Mike McCready this man is a treasure
He has gigged with Steve Vai.
Should be playing bigger venues and at least opening for some major acts. Amazing🎸
Seen him open for Doucette twice, I think. 70's.
Saw Randy in late seventies or early eighties--can't remember exactly--and he was already awesome as a Hendrix impersonator. He's only gotten better in the years since. Ironically, I don't think this is one of his better performances, but it certainly doesn't suck.
How did you learn to sing that so well ? Excellent job!!!!
dude has balls for picking up a guitar that wasnt his. Guitars are like horses u gotta tame them
SRV called he said he wants his look back! Kidding this guy is killing this song on a very beautiful Jaguar!🐆🎸👍🏼
Randy is confounded by all the switches on the jag...ya a strat is so simple to navigate through a song especially on stage...the guitar looks cool and sounds cool not knocking it..
is that drummer the same dude that captained that crab boat on The Deadliest Catch on AandE.. Sig Hanson was his name i think...
When he connects with the guitar the whole thing changes
Super cool...
😳 Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! Hendrix and Gary Moore are both rolling over.
Moore is the KING
That Jag has a Robin Trower sound..
“I don’t know this guitar very well”
*proceeds to know the guitar*
🤣
Hendrix put his soul in to it
So did Dad get his fender back with a broken string? lol
Is this guy one of the Hanson's pop band? Or am I off track here?
No , this man is an incredible guitarist . Plus a great guy
Muito bom, aumenta que isso ai é rock'n roll
white jimi?
Saw Randy open for Rainbow in 79. He almost upstaged Rainbow.
damn fine playing
Yes Randy
61’ jaguar?.. That has to be a prototype or something then?
It’s a 62. There are no prototypes on the market,
It was my dads. He bought it new and was only owner. It's a 61
Take the neck off and look at what date is stamped on the heal, you may learn something
Randy Hansen was a friend of Stevie Ray Vaughan, he also introduced the Floyd Rose whammy bar to Eddie Van Halen.
Bravo
He kicks ass on electric guitar. Saw him at Galactica, Sacramento 1982.
Nice Jag
The Fender Jaguar was first made in 1962.
Hes been doing this same ole stuff since the 70’s
The Fender Jaguar wasn't released until 1962, that's not even an early Jag either, it's got a laminate finger board on it not a slab.
Just sayin'.
Randy knocked it out the park as per usual!.
Unless that Fender Jaguar is a Prototype guitar its definitely not a 61 as these were introduced in 1962
Sick!! 💚🎸
Man you need to get your ass out the Massachusetts so I can see you play
Randy? Is he the rockabilly guy in disguise?
If you like this , check out Friends Who Love Randy Hansen on Facebook!!!!
please come to denmark
drummer and bassist are killers of the highest order
Smoked it!~
Hey, Kevin A!!
Talk to Crows,the ones that sit on fences waiting for 🌽 (corn) to drop on the ground.
The young Gee's do they own shit.
0:35 thought that was Jimi's voice !
Voice like Hendrix 😳
Hey is that just me or is stieve Rey vauhn
1:00 that's sexy playing

What utter rubbish. If music sounds good, it does not matter who invented it, where it came from, or what DNA is in your cells.
You can understand what Jimi was about by his own words, what he actually said vs what people later interpreted him to be after his death....and with Jimi, you were basically legit and therefore respected or you were "jive", and if you were jive, he wasn't angry about it but didn't he just didn't want to bother with you.

Don’t matter if you black, white, yellow or green if you got the blues you got ‘em. that’s what Jimi would tell you.

Watch him play Machine Gun.
