That's awesome.....he's one of my favourites. When Live at Gdansk came out I jumped on it and not a week goes by it's not playing somewhere around here.
That concert was from 2001. Check out his most recent concerts on Youtube. ELO are touring the UK currently and are better than ever.
With today's horrible news, I should be reminiscing on Prince right now. But the memory of his genius and virtuosity has me reviewing other greats. I forgot how wonderful Hendrix's Little Wing was. Here, as interpreted and played by the great SRV...

Ah..........a staple of my Pandora feed. Several versions, mostly live, so the royalties are less!
OK, I'm biased: I prefer SRV's version. Just because he is from Oak Cliff is no reason to be biased............
(Maybe that should be in blue.)
Getting back to Hendrix......we all have memories of his music...various songs...albums....concerts...etc. etc.
Couple things i remember was his first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show....somewhat controversial but more than anything extremely creative and new to the scene....everyone was talking about it in school the next day.
The second thing of note that I remember was listening to his album "The Cry of Love" when it came out in '71. I was sitting in another surfer's car at Main Street watching the waves before we went out....it was Rodney Nelson in fact.....it was his tape. Man....we listened to the entire freaking album and I'll never forget how amazing each song on that album was and how perfect the order they played in was. Hendrix produced quite a few noteworthy albums....but "The Cry of Love" - that's a special one for sure....

I'm a big bluegrass fan, but some songs just aren't suited for it. The original version by Richard Thompson is one of my favorite songs of all time.
I was privileged to see him perform it live at Birmingham's City Stages in the late 1990s / early 2000s.
The line, "I see angels on ariels in leather and chrome, swoopin' down from heaven to carry me home," has to be on anybody's top ten list of best lyrics of any genre.
What an image as one's last conscious perception!
