Love this song. Long live Jimi!
In the CD version of "Texas Flood" by SRV, there's a clip of an interview where Stevie is describing this recurring dream he has of Jimi teaching him all these secret chords, but when he wakes up, he can't remember them...

I saw him in April of 1970 at the Forum in LA. Although the place sucked for concerts, it was Hendrix and it was one of those experiences that left me "experienced"

I saw Jimi at the Hollywood Bowl Sept. 14, 1968, when I was twelve years old. I had an older brother (RIP) that was two and a half years older, so of course I was into Hendrix. My mom worked at The Bowl and got us tickets!
There was a fountain in front of the stage then and people jumped in to get closer to Jimi, they covered it the next day for the Sept. 15, 1968 show.

Hey, go-B, I was at that show too! I was 13... Vanilla Fudge opened for Hendrix along with another band whose name I can't remember. Great time to be into music, huh?

What??? Jimi was way more profound and talented. And he was a right-winger too.
Haha!

I love blues, soul, rock, the era, and many of the songs she did, but I've never really been into Joplin. I think her voice and my ears are not so compatible.
Then again, not too many white blues/soul musicians find their way onto my speakers... Allman brothers, Van Morrison, and it just about ends there. Clapton solo, and SRV don't rock my socks either.

I saw him cause a massive thunderstorm in Seattle. If you don't know it
thunderstorms are a rarity there and all the stoners were stumbling around
saying "Jimi did it, man!" He might have.

I remember a Dylan quote. He said that sometimes, another musician performs a better version of a song than the original.

I heard the Beatles went to see him. Sgt. Pepper had just been released. He played them Sgt. Pepper and they were blown away.
A girlfriend was disappointed that his legacy was sometimes more about his lifestyle. She remembered him practicing, and his musicianship. It was definitely more than the axe, but maybe they were much the same when things really got going.

on my iPod already...
so much has already been released, these new releases are technically superior (though the bass seems a bit amped up) and a joy to listen too...
but many of these tracks are "old friends"

'New' Jimi Hendrix album, 'People, Hell and Angels,' surfaces
By Randy Lewis
2:05 PM PST, March 4, 2013
There’s been no shortage of posthumous Jimi Hendrix releases since the groundbreaking electric guitarist, singer and songwriter died at age 27 in 1970: Only three Hendrix albums charted during his lifetime, while more than three dozen released after his death have made it to the Billboard 200 Albums chart.
Still, the appearance this week of three Hendrix albums constitutes something noteworthy.
First up is “People, Hell and Angels,” a collection of a dozen previously unreleased studio tracks recorded in 1968 and 1969, sessions culled under the direction of the guitarist’s sister, Janie Hendrix, who administers his estate, and producer-engineer Eddie Kramer, who worked closely with Hendrix in those final years of his life.
The idea behind the album was to show new directions Hendrix was exploring, even as the Jimi Hendrix Experience was hitting its commercial peak with its first No. 1 album, “Electric Ladyland,” which spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard chart in October 1968.
The tracks on “People, Hell and Angels” display a tighter, more intimate sound than the characteristic explosiveness of his signature work with the Jimi Hendrix Experience or the band he formed after that group broke up, Band of Gypsys.
In fact, one of the unreleased tracks included on the new collection, “Hear My Train A-Comin’,” was his first studio session with bassist Billy Cox and Buddy Miles on the road to recording the “Band of Gypsys” album with them. His version of Elmore James’ “Bleeding Heart” was recorded with Cox and Miles on the same day, May 21, 1969.
The album’s lead-off cut, “Somewhere,” features another '60s rock guitar hero -- Stephen Stills, who Hendrix invited in not for a lead guitar battle but to add bass to tracks that he and dummer Miles had already put down early in 1968. When “Somewhere” was released recently as the first single from the new album, it went to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Singles Sales Chart, demonstrating the public’s continuing appetite for significant new Hendrix material from the archives.
Among the other tracks Janie Hendrix and Kramer chose to release are “Crash Landing,” a number that prefigures his song “Freedom”; "Inside Out," a rock instrumental with a groove similar to “Purple Haze” featuring JHE drummer Mitch Mitchell and Hendrix on both guitar and bass after he’d fallen out with Experience bassist Noel Redding; the funk-rooted “Let Me Move You,” spotlighting saxophonist and singer Lonnie Youngblood; and the jazz-swing instrumental “Easy Blues” with Cox, Mitchell, rhythm guitarist Larry Lee and percussionists Jerry Velez and Juma Sultan.
“People, Hell and Angels” is the second release of new studio material under a contract Experience Hendrix LLC entered three years ago with Sony Legacy, the first being 2010’s “Valleys of Neptune,” consisting of his final recordings with the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
In addition to “People, Hell and Angels,” Hendrix’s first two albums, “Are You Experienced” and “Axis: Bold as Love,” are being reissued in audiophile mono vinyl editions this week.
Last fall, “Jimi Hendrix: The Ultimate Lyric Book” was published to focus attention on his lyrics apart from his innovative guitar work. Here’s a link to a short video of Janie Hendrix talking about her brother and the book.
Finally the Fender Musical Instrument Co.’s Visitor Center in Corona, Calif., has just opened its first artist exhibit highlighting Hendrix’s close association with Fender through his music, personal items including the guitar strap he wore at Woodstock, clothing and photographs that Kramer took during many of their studio sessions together. It is scheduled to run through May 31 at the Fender Visitor Center, 301 Cessna Circle, Corona.
