Soulstation1 Posted February 4, 2004 Report Posted February 4, 2004 (edited) you are limted to three jams from jimi............. Edited February 4, 2004 by Soulstation1 Quote
jazzbo Posted February 4, 2004 Report 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.") Colette Mimram and Devon Wilson! Edited February 4, 2004 by jazzbo Quote

Noj Posted February 4, 2004 Report Posted February 4, 2004 (edited) 1. "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" 2. "Villanova Junction" 3. "Midnight Lightning" Edited due to intimidation from the Hulkster... Edited February 4, 2004 by Noj Quote
Peter Johnson Posted February 4, 2004 Report 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
undergroundagent Posted February 4, 2004 Report 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". Edited February 4, 2004 by undergroundagent Quote
Soulstation1 Posted February 4, 2004 Author Report 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
PHILLYQ Posted February 4, 2004 Report 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
Soulstation1 Posted February 4, 2004 Author Report Posted February 4, 2004 i compared red house from the ultimate collection and a.y.e.? and they are not the same, yet in the booklet in the ultimate collection it says its from a.y.e.?. have you ever been experienced? well i have........(only twice) ss1 Quote
BFrank Posted February 4, 2004 Report Posted February 4, 2004 Let me toss in some different options: - Rainy Day, Dream Away - Ezy Ryder - Drifting (gorgeous!) Quote
PHILLYQ Posted February 4, 2004 Report Posted February 4, 2004 Hendrix & Hulkster both took lots of drugs? Quote
couw Posted February 4, 2004 Report 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? Quote
AfricaBrass Posted February 4, 2004 Report Posted February 4, 2004 I share a couple picks with BFrank. Ezy Rider Drifting 1983 (A Merman I Shall Be) :rsmile: Quote
street singer Posted February 4, 2004 Report 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! Quote
Quincy Posted February 4, 2004 Report 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
Rooster_Ties Posted February 5, 2004 Report 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. Quote
BFrank Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 ... and I thought my picks were a little "off". Guess I'm not alone. Youze guys are the GREATEST! Quote
medjuck Posted February 5, 2004 Report 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. Quote
brownie Posted February 5, 2004 Report 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... Quote
Jazzmoose Posted February 5, 2004 Report 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... Quote
Dave James Posted February 5, 2004 Report 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. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted February 5, 2004 Author Report Posted February 5, 2004 nobody knows the hulkster and jimi connection? there is a clue in the picture.... ss1 Quote
undergroundagent Posted February 5, 2004 Report 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. Edited February 5, 2004 by undergroundagent Quote
dave9199 Posted February 5, 2004 Report 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
