I have no idea why there are so few views of this song!! It's a famous Hendrix song, so great that Stevie Ray Vaughn, who worshipped Jimi, covered it. It's a great song that shows a different side of Jimi. And don't forget that he also wrote the vast majority of own songs, sang them & of course played guitar. Keep going with Jimi, 'Purple Haze', 'All Along the Watchtower', 'Are You Experienced' etc. Great reaction, guys!
@@R-EActsTV Ah, ok! Glad it's getting more views now, as normal with Hendrix videos. Just a few years ago there were almost no Jimi videos on YT, his estate wouldn't allow it. They now have their own channel & allow people to react to his music, which is great because it keeps his legacy alive & lets young people like you guys experience his amazing work. ☺
Oh, and I know a lot of people will recommend his live performances, which are amazing of course, but it's a lot of jamming & not much singing, so you don't really experience the song as 'the song', with its structure & his vocals. Doing the studio version of the song first will set you up well to watch him do it live.
Another 70 year old here. Except I had the special pleasure of seeing Jimi 4x in the space of a year and a half here in the NYC area. What you don't see from these recordings is JImi's humor, his playfulness, his silliness, his sexiness, and how outrageous his performances were. If you can, watch the full live version of Jimi doing "Wild Thing" from the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, and you'll get a sense of how truly shocking he could be when he wanted to. Then watch how serious he could be (if you can) in his performance of "Machine Gun" from his live 1970 performance at the Fillmore East (a show I attended). Rest in music Jimi.
This man was a gentle soul, without malice or spite and wished well upon everyone he met. He was beautiful in every way a person can be. His gift was his music and through it, he will never die.
Hey fellas. Jimi was the goat, no doubt. He wasn't just a great guitarist he was fearlessly creative and unique. Keep listening to Jimi, especially his studio work where he put all his creativity to use. Peace.
Love it guys, 'Jimi ' was a one off, the first and last of the 'Space age Bluesmen ' Check his posthumous Lp 'Rainbow Bridge ', shows you where he was heading! And Oh yeah I want some of what your smoking lad , Greetings from England!!...
If I only had one song to listen to for eternity it would be this one. The soulful singing, unreal chords, and lyrics don't waste a second. Musical genius married with passion. I can't imagine what he would have gone on to do if not for the tragically cut short life he lived. Fly on, Little Wing. That you guys felt this song so deeply says much. Inspired me to subscribe. Thank you.
After seeing the listener's disappointment at the song ending so soon, I think it's a good point to be made that SRV's version also validates Jimi's decision to fade out his recorded version almost abruptly. SRV just kind of let the improvised soloing drop too much into a lull that diminishes the soar-off-into-the-clouds feeling that Jimi's version inspires. Maybe Jimi just didn't have anything more to say about "Little Wing" that was worth repeating. And on the "Axis Bold as Love" album, with "Little Wing" being followed by the stark reality of the first 2 notes of "If 6 was 9," it couldn't be more perfect.
I've never heard a recording of Jimi playing this song live, so we have no idea how he might have ended the song. Maybe not having a real ending is one reason why he didn't play it live. . . or maybe his current girlfriend didn't want him playing a song about an ex.
If you like this one, check out his song "1983... (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)", it's 13.4 minutes long, and deeeeeep, thanks guys for the great reaction.
Love your reaction, thank God indeed for Jimi. A once in a millennium talent, an unparalleled creative genius, imo. Check out 'The Burning of the Midnight Lamp', 'Look Over Yonder', 'Dolly Dagger', 'Pali Gap', 'Earth Blues', and 'The Stars That Play with Laughing Sam's Dice': a trip and a half. 🖖🏼😁🎶❤️🍁❤️🍄✨️🕊
You might like: Are You Experienced? by Jimi....other favorites: Red House, All Along The Watchtower, If 6 Was 9, Hey Joe, Purple Haze, Foxy Lady, The Wind Cries Mary - and, that's just a FEW...
“I’m so thankful for Jimi Hendrix” couldn’t have said it better…he was so revolutionary. This is my favorite album of his. He was a force of nature. Learned so much when touring the Chiltin Circuit from guys like Curtis Mayfield. Was heavily influenced by the early blues acts and his British counterparts such as Eric Clapton. His songwriting was influenced by the likes of Bob Dylan and The Beatles.
I've loved Little Wing since 14, I'm not afraid to show my age- 70. Still keep hiis music alive, passing his genius to my next generation. GOAT#1. Legend. RIP, sweet Jimi. ☮️
Stevie Ray Vaughan also did a FANTASTIC COVER of this song - he LOVED JIMI! JIMI was one of mine and my late husband's FAVORITES!! Give ANY Jimi tune a listen: YOU'LL LOVE IT!! THANKS, YA'LL for MAKIN' MY DAY!!!
This old school metal loves nothing more than watching you kids that grew up listening to hip hop and sampled music discovering where the music came from. Watching you discover and appreciate real musicianship makes me feel young again. I feel like you guys are the symbol of your generation
Y'all must, I repeat MUST listen to Band of Gypsies MACHINE GUN. It was recorded live at Bill Graham's Fillmore East, NYC. It's a whole other side of Jimi Hendrix. PLEASE react to this stellar live performance. It changed my life. It might possibly change one or BOTH of yours. NO $H!T!
That this song ended like it does says something about Jimi. He said all he had to say about the subject. Jimi's guitar playing was just a part of his vocabulary he used to express what he was compelled to share.
Now, YOU HAVE TO REACT to Stevie Ray Vaughan's cover of this song. He even uses Jimi's effect pedal with Jimi's father's permission! Nobody cover Jimi any better than Stevie. . . . .
You should check out Stevie Ray Vaughns 7 min instramental cover of Little Wing, live at the El Mocombo. Legend has it he was basically in a drug induced coma right bf the show.. After he woke up he did a bunch of coke and then went on stage to have one of the best sets of his life that night.... Allegedly 😎👍
You guys should check out a band called The Velvet Underground, i’d recommend the song “Heroin”. They were one of the most influential bands you probably never heard of. It was said that their first album originally only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought their album started their own band. Lou Reed was the lead singer. If you ever check out his solo work, you should start with the song “Walk on the Wild side” 👍
Guess who is on the wall tapestry behind me as I write this? Guess who inspired me to travel the world and bring people together through the power of music? Hint, it ain't frickin Elvis.
do you guys want to see some of the best guitar playing that has ever been performed ...listen to this Jimi Hendrix Machine Gun live...Buddy Miles on drums ruclips.net/video/157LHNkMJWw/видео.html

Greatest guitar player to ever live.
little wing is criminally too short always kills me
Thankfully Stevie covered it so you get a longer version 🤘🏻🤘🏻
It's length is its greatest strength and its greatest tragedy.
I can't remember the source to quote, but somebody wrote Little Wing is like talking to your grandfather once again for just two minutes
@@cameronsatterlee5687 good quote though

@@TheBlackMambaa248 I'm always happy to hear young people loving this great music!
Such a pleasure to watch you two discovering Jimi 50 years later. I tip my hat to you for learning about where it all began.

Boys...Jimi wasn't of this world...He was just passing through.
So glad yall get Jimi. You have such an amazing journey ahead of you.
Got to try winds cry Mary
This man was a gentle soul, without malice or spite and wished well upon everyone he met. He was beautiful in every way a person can be. His gift was his music and through it, he will never die.
Son on the right, you got a hell of an ear.
The song that brought me to Jimi. My life forever changed
You guys are a God send!
Check out Jimi Hendrix at the BBC live 1969 it’s a 3 song banger of a set and Jimi absolutely kills 💯
This is Hendrix brilliant mind and musicianship at work!! The WHOLE music world is grateful for Jimi!
Hey fellas. Jimi was the goat, no doubt. He wasn't just a great guitarist he was fearlessly creative and unique. Keep listening to Jimi, especially his studio work where he put all his creativity to use. Peace.
You ae so right. Thank God for Jimi. He was a channel. To see and HEAR him in person was life changing and soul transformational.
Gotta hear Stevie Ray Vaughan’s instrumental version of this 🔥
The guitar at the end of this song is a thing of beauty. Brings a tear to my eye. Like fine wine.
Love this and also Fire by Jimi!
Yes guys, short but oh so sweet; the most beautiful music, that's Jimi.
maybe his best vocal performance
Jimi is great music to listen while tripping.
Best way to listen is eyes closed yeah! I was raised on his music. Deeply beautiful. Enjoy!
Love it guys, 'Jimi ' was a one off, the first and last of the 'Space age Bluesmen '
Check his posthumous Lp 'Rainbow Bridge ', shows you where he was heading!
And Oh yeah I want some of what your smoking lad , Greetings from England!!...
We had Jimi "Driving South" from the Radio One album on repeat during an hours long endeavor.🎸
Listen to "All along the Watchtower" from Jimi
If I only had one song to listen to for eternity it would be this one. The soulful singing, unreal chords, and lyrics don't waste a second. Musical genius married with passion.

My dad would play this over and over he absolutely loved it
Bold as love

Keep going so many great tunes!
Just wait until you check out Hendrix doing the song GLORIA!
And this is why Jimi Hendrix is the original guitar 🎸 God.

This is my favorite song ❤
Gotta hit Jimi's 'Crosstown Traffic' and 'Are You Experienced' sometime!
Can hear where Slash got the feel for his style at the last 30 seconds
You might like: Are You Experienced? by Jimi....other favorites: Red House, All Along The Watchtower, If 6 Was 9, Hey Joe, Purple Haze, Foxy Lady, The Wind Cries Mary - and, that's just a FEW...
Yes, Jimmy never met him, but I know it was Music love the man this man

It’s tragic and criminal how short this song is! I could listen to Little Wing on repeat for hours bro
Stevie Ray Vaughn. Little Wing. Much longer. A must.
Thank you guys for listening to Jimi he was exceptional. Seems impossible what he was able to play.
I've loved Little Wing since 14, I'm not afraid to show my age- 70. Still keep hiis music alive, passing his genius to my next generation. GOAT#1. Legend. RIP, sweet Jimi. ☮️
🌸 love love jimi..... we lost him way too soon 💔
Hendrix the goat, do a deep dive live and studio
💥🎸🎸💥
🌸 so at the Monterey Pop festival if you look it up, Jimi plays there,
and that performance I think you would really really love.
Stevie Ray Vaughan also did a FANTASTIC COVER of this song - he LOVED JIMI! JIMI was one of mine and my late husband's FAVORITES!! Give ANY Jimi tune a listen: YOU'LL LOVE IT!! THANKS, YA'LL for MAKIN' MY DAY!!!

Jimmi left everyone wanting more.
"Crosstown Traffic," "Fire," and "All Along the Watchtower"
You're almost ready for tools time signatures by this video, bout time to look into Sober or Schism
There are longer versions of this, he did in concert. Some are on you tube.
Jimi's second and my favourite Hendrix album. Casrle's Made Of Sand is a great biographical track.Have a Great weekend!🍻 L💞ve from Canada
Wonderful trippy song! Stevie Ray Vaughan does a mean instrumental cover of Little Wing. Definitely worth a listen.
You guys should check out another song from this album called "If 6 was 9"! It's such a trip and a jam!
Y'all must, I repeat MUST listen to Band of Gypsies MACHINE GUN. It was recorded live at Bill Graham's Fillmore East, NYC. It's a whole other side of Jimi Hendrix. PLEASE react to this stellar live performance. It changed my life. It might possibly change one or BOTH of yours. NO $H!T!

Guys keep exploring classic rock like this.....Opens up worlds for you.....
White guy here....Hendrix is one of my musical idols.
There's a version live at the royal Albert hall it's a whole minute longer it's fire af 🤘
👍Excellent!
Stevie Ray Vaughan’s instrumental version of this song is next level fire. 🔥
Check out BOLD AS LOVE and SPANISH CASTLE MAGIC. Both are off the same AXIS: BOLD AS LOVE album as Little Wing.
Jimi was the revolution and SRV was the evolution.
You guys would'a LOVED the seventies . . . . . shitty pot and magical music, what a combination!
There are some killer live versions of this that are significantly different from the record and worth the listen.
"But something is about to go wrong"
Yep something sure did go wrong, Jimi died before his time, that's what went wrong..
R.I.P. King
Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe LIVE 1967 Monterey pop festival
This is my favorite version of LITTLE WING, SRV/ STEVIE RAY VAUGHNN did a cover that didn't have lyrics
Check out Stevie Ray Vaughan's interpretation of this as well as "Voodoo Chile". Stevie payin' respect.
He was 24 years old when this dropped. Unfortunately he passed 3 years later.
Now, YOU HAVE TO REACT to Stevie Ray Vaughan's cover of this song. He even uses Jimi's effect pedal with Jimi's father's permission! Nobody cover Jimi any better than Stevie. . . . .
Machine Gun live from the filmore east ( The video )
Also for a softer side to Jimi - Have you ever been to electric ladyland.
GOT to check out Stevie Ray Vaughans instrumental version. Song forced me to learn guitar.
(Rap song 25 Lighters)
ZZ TOP "GOTSTA GET PAID" Beautiful ladies & Bad ass cars
Jimi wasted no space on his playing. His music went to places unexplored and absolutely made it his. Left us way too soon. One in a million
You should check out Stevie Ray Vaughns 7 min instramental cover of Little Wing, live at the El Mocombo. Legend has it he was basically in a drug induced coma right bf the show.. After he woke up he did a bunch of coke and then went on stage to have one of the best sets of his life that night.... Allegedly 😎👍
Yes sugar cube in this album
Just wait until you get to "Machine Gun".
You have got to, got to listen to … Frankenstein by Edgar Winter. Do it, do it now! Ok, have you done it yet lol.
The Stevie Ray Vaughn version is twice as long and is very good too.

Jimi Hendrix - Machine Gun
"why is it over???" word
Dude, you gotta listen to Axis on mushrooms. The whole album. And look at the album cover while you're listening.
Incredible Experience.
*"Deep Purple - Highway Star 1972 Video HQ"*
There's a reason I named my first son after him.....
Guess who is on the wall tapestry behind me as I write this? Guess who inspired me to travel the world and bring people together through the power of music? Hint, it ain't frickin Elvis.
Wait until you hear David Gilmore from Pink Floyd. He is my favorite guitar player. His guitar will bring tears it's that good.
Crosstown Traffic
here's a longer version of the same song, perfect for kicking back and just listening to him jam.
ruclips.net/video/BkEPBiMbgxs/видео.html
Red House.
You guys should react to Dire Straits - Sultans of swing. Alchemy Live recording. You'll love it
if you think this is badass, check out the live version on Hendrix in the West
“If 6 was 9”.
Try Belly Button Window. It depicts his unhappy childhood in a broken home.
