jazzbo Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 (edited) Gosh, there are so MANY! I think an early favorite was "The Wind Cried Mary." It was just so different than what I normally heard coming out of the radio from Lorenco Marques. I really do love the later song writing though, and would have to say "Power to Love" and "Hey Baby (Land of the New Rising Sun)" if you forced me to three (I'd drop "Message to Love.")

Peter Johnson Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Great thread, SS1--now I know what to listen to this afternoon! Little Wing (before Sting fucked it up) Castles Made of Sand Bandwagon w/ Lon for Wind Cried Mary Jimi was the shiznit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undergroundagent Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 (edited) Boy, this is a tough one, but... "Machine Gun" "Hey Joe" "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" ...and, though I can't technically make anymore selections, here's a vote for "Freedom" & "Red House".

Soulstation1 Posted February 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 (edited) if you choose more than three, the hulkster will drop the boot on your butt... trivia what does jimi and the hulkster have in common? Edited February 4, 2004 by Soulstation1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILLYQ Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 'Third Stone from the Sun' 'Castles made of Sand' 'Red House' (almost any version) But this is a tough one, as I love 'If 6 was 9', 'Fire', any cut from the 'Band of Gypsys' album, Jimi's version of 'Sunshine of your Love', etc. etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILLYQ Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Hendrix & Hulkster both took lots of drugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couw Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 who knows (band of gypsys) first cut I heard. is something going broke somewhere halfway, when the guitar is taken over by the singer and jimi comes back with a different one (which in my ears he is tuning during the first couple of bars) after that?

AfricaBrass Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 I share a couple picks with BFrank. Ezy Rider Drifting 1983 (A Merman I Shall Be) :rsmile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street singer Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Let me toss in some different options: - Rainy Day, Dream Away - Ezy Ryder - Drifting (gorgeous!) Gotta go with BFrank on this one... "Rainy Day, Dream Away" is my absolute favorite. As for the others...well, there's just too many good ones to pick from!

Quincy Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 I'll combine AfricaBrass & BFrank's picks. Rainy Day, Dream Away - I live in the Pacific NW! 1983 (A Merman I Should Be) - I love side 3 of Electric Ladyland. Ezy Ryder - Far too dangerous to play while driving. Yup, there are too many good ones, and other favorites have been listed. At the risk of catching the wrath of the Hulk, I'll nominate the acoustic apartment tape version of "Angel" as the prettiest song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Spanish Castle Magic!!!!!!!!!!! Man, I LOVE this tune - BIG TIME. There aren't a ton of live versions, but every couple years a new one pops up. GREAT tune. I'll have to think about the other two, and get back to you.

BFrank Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 ... and I thought my picks were a little "off". Guess I'm not alone. Youze guys are the GREATEST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 I hate to admit it, but I wasn't much into Jimi when he was alive. Passed up a chance to hear him at a reasonably small hall in Toronto. I came to him through Gil Evans so my favorite is Little Wing. Followed by Angel.

brownie Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 I was lucky to hear Jimy Hendrix (with Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell) at the Paris Olympia back in 1967. Three favorite tunes: 'Rainy Day, Dream Away' 'Castles Made of Sand' 'Little Miss Strange' But the choice might have been different on another day...

Jazzmoose Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 All three already mentioned, but what can I say... Little Wing Castles Made of Sand 1983 (A Merman I Shall Be) I was too young to appreciate Jimi when he was alive. Hell, I didn't even discover acid until he'd been dead for eight years...

Dave James Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 What Chrome said: All Along the Watchtower Red House Crosstown Traffic Never saw Hendrix, although he did play a number of times here in Portland. Get this. One of those times, he was the opening act for The Monkees. Nice pairing. I think if I was Mike, Peter, Davy or Mickey, I'd have hidden in my dressing room. Up over and out.

undergroundagent Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 (edited) I didn't want to be the imbecile to say this, but the connection was that Hogan entered the ring with "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" as his theme.

dave9199 Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Did anyone have the comp from the mid 90's, I think, called Voodoo Soup? I forget the name of the first song, but the liners said Hendrix played everything on this track. It's an instrumental. It definitely sounds like him, but I never saw the title anywhere else. Anyone know if that was a faked Hendrix track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
