A Hendrix UBI (Useless Bit of Information), or Trivia, your Choice: Hendrix was opening for the Monkees during the Summer of 1967 tour, this was before he was a household name but after his June 1967 Monterey Pop Festival appearence.
BTW, if you are a Hendrix fan and have never seen the Monterey performance, do yourself a favour. I have seen it many times and my mouth still hangs open every time.
Hey Joe
Mary
Foxy Lady
All along the Watchtower
Purple Haze
Just about all of them, but the above are my personal favorites.
Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)
Purple Haze
Love or Confusion
Catfish Blues (from the BBC Sessions - amazing live performances, does a killer version of Can You Please Crawl Out your Window by Dylan)
Castles Made of Sand
Little Wing
Wait Until Tomorrow
etc.....another guy I totally love........Man, I wished he would have lived longer - would love to see what he would have come up with!
Some people were meant to play guitar Jimmy Hendrix was one of them.
This video was was of him playing at the Woodstock Festival in 1969

Uh boy...I too love everything...just everything. (Just remembered I gave my double CD of Jimi's Blues album to my GD shunning nephew...I want it BACK! He doesn't deserve it.)
Are You Experienced, Fire, Waterfall, Manic Depression, Red House, Little Wing....Oh my, just everything.
Flipper you old rocker. Another Great thread. But to choose a best Jimmy Hendrix Song - too much of decision for me. Love 'em all........... OK how about alll along the watchtower, I watch Tuesdays videos just to hear that intro.
Little Wing is my favorite and Stevie Ray Vaughan did an excellent cover.
Voodoo Child...sick song! (in a good way).

Purple Haze.
There was actually a really small cave/underground type dance club that started up in our old town called the Haze. it was designed like a cave and sported dark purple and black lighting etc...a real rock joint. It was a really cool place that sadly disappeared in favor of disco.....sammieswife.
