Jimi Hendrix - best ever live solo. He plays Red House live at the New York pop festival

[elsonysamurai]

fuck that beast! hearing this, i understand why nobody is going to overcome...

[SnipeNaddiktZ]

no surprises there , stevies in the suggestion box.

[TroubleJive]

tabs anyone lol.

[TroubleJive]

this would be awsome playin



[mcdutchoriginal]

some music caresses the ear, but this caresses the soul

[Assasinofsilence]

@mcdutchoriginal mcdefinatly =d

[gx382aa]

Red House was his favourite I think, it was played so often in his live shows and the variation/development between the performances over the years shows the love and pride he had for it, more than any other song.

[mozartcat1]

Red House= ultimate blues song.

[me5g435rg]

yeah he had his wheaties that morning ...he was playing like he was all alone at home

[techwest77]

an example of perfectly horrible bass playing. he should have been fired, if not shot, right after this song ended. you don't try to "run with" Jimi on those soaring riffs.... keep it simple and hard and on time

[rkroemer]

@techwest77

I think the bass player was billy cox on this preformance a mighty fine rhythm and blues player listen to power of love or burning desire. Hendrix felt he was good enough to jam with, so he got to play with jimi and you didn't case closed you don't get his job.

[techwest77]

@rkroemer its still stoopid playing - his job was to keep that base/floor pounding for Jimi to soar above, not try to idiotically chase his licks like he's swatting flies. 1st half good, the takeoff chasing Jimi is his attempt to divert attention to himself - and a bellyflop in the attempt

[mrmojomorrison1]

NO MAMES!!!! no mames!!! pareciera que un demonio del rock ablaba atraves de la guitarra de hendrix :O me dejo pasmado!!! ni el mejor metalero ni guitarrista de cualkier genero te superara hendrix :O

[Assasinofsilence]

@mrmojomorrison1 DO NOT SUCK!!!! do not suck!!! it seemed that a demon of the rock ablaba  atraves of the hendrix guitar:O made me amazed!!! not best metalero not even guitarist of cualkier genre will overcome you hendrix:O

lol got to love translators

[citlaltlamina]

@Assasinofsilence

What?!!!!



[Assasinofsilence]

@citlaltlamina lol, i put mrmojomorrisons comment through a spanish translator

[citlaltlamina]

@Assasinofsilence

Oh! in that case, what he´s trying to say is this:

For fuck´s sake! (or holy shit) it seems like an rock devil speaks trough Hendrix guitar. This left me stunned!! nor the best Metal rocker nor any guitar player of any else music genre will overcome to you Hendrix :O

[Assasinofsilence]

@citlaltlamina brilliant , thx =D

[mrmojomorrison1]

@Assasinofsilence thanks......I guess, and i´m sorry i wanted to say talking(ablaba)

[Assasinofsilence]

@mrmojomorrison1 eeeeexcellent comment m8 =D

[meme9480]

increible!!!

[Cool80sBoy]

So far, my favorite rendition of Red House. No one can play it like Jimi. Gary Moore, and Yngwie played great covers, but its still a Jimi thing.

[citlaltlamina]

I think "machine gun" solo on december 31, 1969 at Filmore East, it is one that can compete with this overwhelming version of Red House.

On 6:25 appears doble sound, is just fantastic!

[techwest77]

@citlaltlamina +1 for that. a whole different sorta feel - that Machine Gun was transcendent - like out of body

[TheFingerlady]

That is pure genius OMG!! Most musicians just play I love Hendrix he is an explorer searching the depths of tones and emotion in his mind and actual physical space. The fact that we get to go along with him is a beautiful thing, something very special. TY Jimi.

[josh71111]

Lightnin Hopkins was great too

[gotlos]

God this is FILTHY!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!

[stevesan]

what's that thing he does around 6:13, that sounds like super fast tremelo picking or maybe scraping? jesus this is out of this world..

[Assasinofsilence]

@stevesan i'm not sure, its like extreme overdriven scrape wang magic shizzle. gets better every time i listen to it

[kurtwasright]

@stevesan, I think it might be some feedback through the Octavia pedal he turned on at the beginning of the third part of the solo.

[eric1love]

@stevesan closed wah pedal+near speaker+larsen+octavia, ohh yeah, and your amps at full throttle.

[informiorium]

Of all the great blues and rock-n-roll guitar players I have heard/seen, Jimi and Stevie were the ones who CHANNELED through their guitars...It was like they were actually part of the instrument...

[TheBatugan77]

"If you didnt bring any blues, here's some to take home..."

JMH... the greatest to yet live.

[Staziish]

This red house is great. But the san diego rh is amazing too. Its a much longer version.

[citlaltlamina]

@Staziish

Wich year do you mean about that version of RH?

[Staziish]

@citlaltlamina 1969 live at San diego sports arena. The winterland,1968, version is great too. Check it out...

[citlaltlamina]

@Staziish

Thank you for the tip. Very nice share!

[Staziish]

@citlaltlamina you are right, machine gun is the best guitar solo ever..! Thats what i think..

[68lpjr]

there are 2 douche bags in the audience!

[artman572000]

that was the best verison I ever herd thank bro

[MrKirkenstein]

good....but the live version of RedHouse off Hendrix In the West recorded at Isle of Man (?) is a better one.

IMHO.

[rollingstopp]

if he was too get closer to you he would have to bash you with his guitar

[jlonrecords]

I am "THE JOHNNY WALKER EXPERIENCE"

[Platano0587]

Mm it's a tie for me between this version and the Newport pop festival one. Each one is a work in its own right.

[fbizzy81]

have to put this on my favorite list ...unreal

[smithdsmit]

this off the album "the jimi hendrix concerts"released in 1982. all the songs just totally kick ass. you should check it out. i was blown away at how rocking this was back in 82 when i first heard it. there is a solo in stone free that is not to be believed

[MrKingbri698]

fantastic.

[TrueMC66]

...And seven of these "!"

[SuperiorAngelZ]

Two words.......fucking incredible!!!!!!!

[EZIOTHEMASTER]

I bought "The Jimi Hendrix Concerts" LP in 1982, while on a short holiday in Paris. I was 15 years old. That LP changed my life. For what it's worth my opinion, the solo on this track is just one of the best solos ever played on a guitar. It's easy to understand why in those days he was a living legend among musicians. Even Miles Davis, McLaughlin and Les Paul were amazed by what he was doing.

[bozotheclownist]

Jimi Hendrix an Frank Marino an Robin Trower Would be one of the Concerts if He's was stil Here.... And if i ever Saw it, well There would be no more Guitar players to see.. The 3 Best Ever Guitar Players Ever.......

[Nihilist13]

Machine Gun is better, but this is about as good.... : ))

[MrIssa001]

Just how much would Jimi Hendrix achieve if he were alive today? Musically i think we'd be treated to some exceptional levels of sound. What an artist.

[brandonterzic]

6:12

He literally inverts the electric charges of the overtones

He's melting sound. The whole tune is like the 2nd movement of Beethoven's Erocia It goes higher and higher and just when you think its maxed itself out, he still surprises you.

[MrJazzjames]

A gift from the Gods, that is what he was and always will be. In his prime and at his best he went where no man has ever gone before. I don't any man will get to the this place where he conjured, created and melted his mind across all of Orions belt. In other word this guy is not of our mere mortal world.

[herbsmanofillrepute]

Some of the sounds coming out of that guitar come from a different planet. I've heard a lot of Hendrix live over the year but that solo is incredible - it takes you to another place completely

[DubtronicTurtle]

He's locked in........ awesome!! Thanks for posting this!!

[McDeadcat]

Lovely restrained opening, leaving plenty of room later!

[achemaro]

my fav still is the one at royal albert hall

but this is fucking brilliant

[ornitorenk1962]

what the fuck was that. seriously man. no one was or will ever be able to use that wah like that. no chance.

[tony9L9L]

As Miles Davis said "What the fucking hell is he doing?"

[jokkergar]

good solo, thanks

[gerthie]

this is my favourite red house it has everything and more

[TheGMMuk]

Normally it would seem appropriate saying there's never been a finer guitarist but when you too consider the richness of his music, it almost seems too much to bear - Jeffries you big c---!

[Staziish]

This goes beyond rockn roll... This is AMAZING

[Staziish]

This goes beyond rockn roll... 

[GUITARTORCHER]

Omg. Son of a f'n beach. Best ever

[gunboundmunkey]

I feel like I get better just by listening to Jimi play, he's amazing and thats an understatement

[samnichols9]

This is from the album "Albert Hall Experience". I dont know why its so hard to find on youtube, but i have the album and listen to it religiously. I'd highly highly recommend getting it. It's Jimi at his best. This version of Red House has my favorite guitar solo ever in it, for whatever it's worth.

[belldn3]

DAMN that's shredding.

[gerthie]

@belldn3 that is nt shredding come again

[habadej2]

really fantastic!

[romienomie]

SHIT!!!!!!!!!He was dialed in on that one. Much like a great athlete during his prime. Can't miss. He still amazes me after all these years. Who's a better blues player?

[Assasinofsilence]

@romienomie ur right about the athlete thing , ive thought that often too. i cant think of anyone who could touch this

[ianor2304]

@Assasinofsilence

i was only thinkin a while ago that i'd compare him to lionel messi as in to compare to an all time great freakishly talented athlete... but as much as i love messi i think i'd be flatterin him, jimi's incomparable, there's no point!

[Assasinofsilence]

@ianor2304

haha yeah m8, i think jimi deserved the match ball for this one =d

[Pangea1able]

@ianor2304 The drugs ruined him though. If Miles could have brought him over to Jazz we would have heard some truly miraculous music outta that guy!

[bishopquack]

@ianor2304 nice to Messi and Hendrix mentioned together. Hopefully Messi will live past 28 and have his Woodstock by winning a world cup

[superiansuper]

@romienomie Stevie Ray Vaughan ?

[MrCatfish212]

@romienomie  Not SRV !!!!!

[Apache4Justice]

@MrCatfish212 SRVs icon,hero,mentor&idol was Hendrix.SRV was badass no doubt,but Hendrix is who He channeled playing.Hendrix=divinity thru an amp. If there is a Heaven,Jimi's in the House Band on Lead,cause even God has to kick back,scratch His head sometimes and say"DAMN I DID GOOD!";)

[MrCatfish212]

@Apache4Justice Exactley,SRV was a good Hendrix impersonator

[MegaWogger]

@romienomie who's a better blues player HA no one ever

[Assasinofsilence]

@MegaWogger no problemo =D

[70goldtop]

@romienomie Johnny Winter?....!!!

[1redhotbikerchic]

@romienomie There is None man.

[headlygrange3]

I keep losing this version .....and it keeps getting deleted from Youtube.

Hands down best ever !

[lollito84]

This one and Are you experienced? are my favorite songs, the 2 i'd take if i could only have 2 in my life. Cosmic !

[greatbigbubby]

oh God! i wish i didn't lose this record!!!!

[windymiller1111]

brain fail at 6:11

[hesmon]

I have just found some live footage(bad quality) from a small part of the Red House solo which i didn't know existed. Check it out.

[outofthespace]

Are you sure that is New York pop Festival ? cause i've got the Albert Hall Experience 2CD and there is exactly the same track. So i think this Red House cover come from the Royal Albert Hall concert.

the solo is outstanding, not just jimi Hendrix but also Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding (or Billy Cox i'm not sure) what a rhythm !!

[HendrixFreakazoid]

@outofthespace This is definately New york pop from the Downing Stadium at Randalls Island 7/17/70. There are 2 versions of this monster floating around. This raw sounding soundboard and then there is the one off the Concerts album thats been cleaned up a bit in the studio and a touch of reverb added. The reverb makes the guitar sound so creamy with the notes just melting in your mind.

[Assasinofsilence]

@HendrixFreakazoid yea mate, i used to have that reverb version on a tape i was given. but i wore it out lol. it took me years then to actually discover what concert it was actually from. id searched youtube but couldnt find it (which promted me to publish this), so i took a punt on a compilation cd i saw online and it was the one!, just less the reverb.

[jimbob1838]

@outofthespace i think you are spot on with albert hall,it sounds like an indoor recording

[Foderick]

so fucking TASTY!

[mesaman1970]

I just bought the jimi hendrix concerts cd used for 30 bucks..

[zedboeing]

wow. totally unbelievable performance, Jimi lives on

[mexin8ive101]

This is the best version of red house i have ever heard!..he completely tears this up and rips it a new one and puts all of it back together all at one time..absolutely amazing!

[bdee923]

Incredible! Thanks very much for posting this!

[gillyguy]

Best guitar solo ever done in my opinion.

[hendrix7755]

got this on cd !!

[SHARTPHOTO]

Amazing...!!!!!

[Assasinofsilence]

Nice =D check out the version of drivin' south ive put on

[arbaaa]

my favourite version of red house - thank you for posting

[sltkd01]

Intense. you missed off the start where he tells some hecklers to eff off!!

[HendrixFreakazoid]

I have listened to this probably thousands of times over the last 25 years and still it smokes the living daylights out of me every time. Jimi Hendrix studio albums are all incredibly amazing but its the concert recordings that are the most stunning. He seems to be able to pull something from somewhere else that the rest of us just don't have access to. There are more than a few live gems that exist out there that are utterly beyond belief and this version of red house is one of them.

[JimmyMarshall27]

@HendrixFreakazoid You are so right on. Jimi Hendrix live was like a paranormal event. He, at times, appears to channel the most amazing leads, while playing rhythm guitar and pulling Second Leads, out of the cosmos. I've watched on VHS were I could actually adjust the speed (old studio machine0 and my ears could hear it, but for the life of me, I could not see how he was getting so much music out of one guitar, LIVE! And this was back in the day before computer overdubs. He always AMAZES me !
