After Sturgell posted TWO items about Hendrix a couple of days ago, I felt the need to follow in his footsteps. This solo, near the end of a so-so one-chord song recorded live at Fillmore East on the last evening of the sixties, hasn't had that many books devoted to it and doesn't have a WTF-meter reading anywhere as high as that of, say, the solo on his hit single "Purple Haze." However, it still has its qualities. It's from a 1972 LP, not the recent two-disk CD.
This black and white photo has nothing to do with the solo.

Ok I'm totally stealing your WTF-meter phrase. This is a great pick. I've always loved this song. "They don't know, what I know" Could Jimi do any wrong, though?
and that black & white photo has nothing to do with the solo, but everything to do with my swoonage...ahhh

you are going to make me listen to hendrix again, man. I believe I haven’t played any hendrix for the last 15 years so maybe it’s already time.

wow soulrocket. I can't even imagine 15 days without Hendrix, let alone 15 years!
