My favorite song ever. He did so many takes in studio Chas Chandler quite and Hendrix produced Electric Ladyland alone. Every time he'd do a solo he'd blow everyone away then do another take, somehow better than the last. He Wanted his homage to Dylan to be perfect. Rated best cover of all time by Rolling Stone.
This same song that once guided a Battlestar to a young planet Earth, that a father played for his daughter, that a man played to his lover, that Bob dylan remembered and wrote once again, that Jimi Hendrix covered, that has connections to New Paltz, NY where I now go to college, when I asked God to guide me and help me and this exact song came on the radio not a minute later...
This song does something to me. I can't explain it.
he died 2 years before i was born.....since i was 12 i've had to deal with the fact that i'll never get to see him play live...RIP FOREVER JIMI!!!!!!!!!!
Jimi never played a song the same way twice..his improv is so badass like in this version for example..he always played his songs differently which make learning his songs a bitch.
@CobrazVeNoMx yea he does! the slavery abolition act happened in 1833, i think he's sayin, he thinks the song is about the slave rebellion in jamaica the year before that kinda made that happen... bobby d's lyrics come from a biblical passage about the fall of Babylon, a sinful city. i guess jimi's interpretation is that, that verse is being used to describe the fall of an evil institution (slavery)... i dunnoo if that's what dylan had in mind, but i'll buy it. ..also, jimi=GOD!!! :D
@72nortoncommando i notice his afro is too big in this concert i remember hearing he cut his hair because he was doing so much drugs it effected his hair so he had to trim it.
this is my favorite version of this song and i used to have it on my computer then limewire got shutdown and started listnen to it on the tube then one day couldnt find it thank u good sir
