      Me Billy several years ago in Chicago
      I had called him, spoke to his wife who told me of the show in Chicago with Jimi's music. Lol I got tickets from a fan with one too many. Caught the entire show and after, meet Billy and his wife, she said, Ya made it Tommy.
      Yes I did.
      I soooooooooooooo dig this video posting as this LP IS one of my ALL time favorite.
      Thank you Billy and please thank your awesome wife for me. ❤

    Randy Hansen does a fantastic job. Vocal are closest to Jimi I’ve ever heard. Drifting. 1983. I’ve seen him many times. He is my favorite at Jimi. This is cool. But I’ve seen Randy many times. Best show was Tower theater Philly area. Seeing him do 1983 is something I’ll never forget.

      So very sorry to hear about his passing-my condolences...Very knocked out by his fantastic playing, he was quite talented and sounded so good with Billy and the Richie. He really had the Jimi vibe down, yet as someone else mentioned he added his own thing which really was impressive. Best version of "Power of Love" I've heard.

      You right the sound makes a big difference. It throw the drums off it's up front. I don't here the bass. And that's famous player Billy Cox.That bass should be up front as much the guitar player. The guitar player isn't that bad. He played Power of Love. That's impressive.

No, he didn’t write the songs and it’s not 1967, but it’s as close as you’re gonna get. When I saw Hendrix in Houston, it was right after he caught his ‘fro on fire at Monterey Pop and his hair was short like that. Brings me back 😊

    At 0:27, Billy Cox said to the drummer, "Do you know... you count half bar more?". The drummer said, "Who knows?" and keep the wrong count through the half song...sosad. The is a world issue to find good drummers to play Hendrix.
