Such a sweet sad song. The story goes that the guy that played the vibes on this track was invited to Electric Lady to record his part shortly after Jimi's death, He talked about how sad it was to be in this beautiful custom made recording world built just for Jimi and he would never see the studio completely finished. Jimi only had the one overdub left and hadn't chosen between guitar or vibes and it seemed fitting to finish with vibes and they add a lot to the song.
@Darkreignxox haha, so true. But Jimi and his music will always be my life long commitment anyways so who's need a husband right? :P At least after two tattoos with more to come, I would think so. Jimi always finds a way to get me through.
@littlejoy6669 That's one of several reasons I won't marry. With most women, the guy does not "have a say" when it comes to getting married; he is just there to play the role that she cooked up for him when she was 13; the guy is just a footnote at his own funeral..oops - wedding. If I meet a woman that hasn't had her wedding preplanned from before we met, I might change my mind.
@Gregorypeckory haha, you have a good point and I agree with you. Im not like most women though, I'm just stubborn about this one thing because Jimi is a huge part of my life and I'd like his music to be played when I walk the aisle. The rest of the wedding could be planned by my husband for all I care. But, when I look at my husband as I'm walking towards him, I want this beautiful song to be my guide.
@xblackb0x Is this an alternative version? I thought it was the originally released version. But hey... Any info on this amazing picture? That's what I really wanted to know about.
Jimi playing out of the heart of existence... no more, because there can't be more... no less because there can't be less...

So there's a possibility of having a top comment without thumbs lol. Anyway Jimi was a master in his craft and was born to influence.

What's with that weird little bit of audio at the end though? Maybe it was recorded from radio?
