  • he's the dear jimi making scream, and sing, and cry his guitar... the One and only!

  • I Love this song

  • Comment removed

  • funky

  • Nice, the version of Driving South from this album is killer too. Actually, the whole album is killer, but...

  • The drummer is, most likely, Marion Booker. He is from, and lives, here, in Houston, Texas. A few years ago, I hired him on a few shows. His drumming and his Hendrix related stories were, both, quite interesting.

  • WELLBRAN - mine was called Electric Ladyland believe it or not. It was black and had a big pic of Jimi on the front. The version of EL was the instrumental bit only and when I heard that I nearly flipped - it was that good! It was also called Loose Ends which you can find all the details on wiki. Its an interesting little read.

  • I got this song on one of my Jimi Hendrix vinyl, wow, I didnt know it was a rare one :P I found the vinyl in a small shop in a backstreet in Barcelona :)

  • I thought this was Lonnie Youngblood with Hendrix?

  • if hendrix had gotten to spend time in new orleans and infused serious new orleans funk into him, the results may have been splendiferafunkified. yeah

  • I bought this from Dunns stores in Idle Bradford in about 1981 - it was a compilation album and included Electric Ladyland (the instrumental bit) Hoochie Coochie Man and Burning Desire. Nice!

  • @fieldfullofthistles I bought this on an LP in the 70's but cannot remember the LP, might still have it in my pandoras box ie the attic somewhere, never get rid of my LP's! my wife/family think I am strange, I then play all of them to my kids and they are shocked at the quality of music....they missed the golden era

  • Fucking Groovy ... Yeah ! :P

  • that is Jimi on vocals 4 sure!!

  • Cave sound, I love it !

  • Wow I thought I loved Jimi BEFORE I heard this. Just amazing, completely different energy and feel from the pre-fame days.

  • guitar is light years ahead of the time.... awesome track. 

  • Jimi is singing 1st then curtis knight then jimi comes back sings again however this is great!~

  • this song is amazing... its got the most groovingest vibe ever

  • This is probably very close to what Les Paul heard when he walked into the club around 1965 and heard and undiscovered Jimi (Jimmy) , and then returned later to find out he was gone, and only found out years later that that was Jimi.

  • Drums/bass overdubs

  • Hendrix was already the best way back in '65!!

  • Jimi WAS,IS and WILL ALWAYS be...........THE MAN period.Peace and Love from amsterdam,Jimibax68

  • This was some smoking guitar work here! And this was before he made it "big"

  • 2:26 This is one of Albert King's bend. Jimi really nailed everything.

  • I bought this cassette back in 1982 on the discount rack at a store called shopko.I remember only liking the guitar but what the heck . it was only 3 bucks. it is hendrix singing . most of the songs are sung by curtis. but hendrix also sung a few

  • I can hear B.I.G droppin a big "UUUHHH" all over a sample of this hahaha God's hands

  • This was a popular song played at dances when I was a teenager. Of course it was not this version we listened to. Glad someone was able to dig this up. Any idea what year this version was recorded?

  • @spyguys recorded December 26, 1965.

  • @spyguys The Iron Butterfly version is not bad ah?

  • I bet, it's Jimi singing.... it sound just like him, incredible sound, had the luck to talk to Jimi once in person for about a half an hour, many years ago... man... it's definitely him

  • @vrenmul This is 100% definitley Jimi singing, and it's just beautiful

  • I bet, it's Jimi singing.... it sound just like him, incredible sound

  • @vrenmul If you've listened to Jimi for as long as I have you know its him or a very good imitator!

  • What I wouldn't give to hear that whole set

  • Actually everybody's version is a cover of Allen Toussaint's version since he wrote it.

  • Hendrix is playing on a Gibson or... ? Doesn't sound like a Fender.

  • You don't know Jimi Hendrix, if you think this isnt him singing.

  • What a friggin GEM!! Full o grease... I love it!! Thanks for posting this.

    OK that's it, now my band will have to cover this!!

  • They are taking turns singing.

  • I guess that is Curtis Knight singing but the tone and phrasing sounds alot like Hendrix.

  • Sounds like Jimi's singing to me. Listen at 1:12 he says I'm 'a play it one step for ya, that's definitely Hendrix. So is the laugh at 2:30

  • @noveltysongs its totally jimi

  • IT IS DEFINITELY A HARD CALL, BUT THAT GUY CALLED IT, IT'S PROBABLY JIMI. DAMM! SINGS AND PLAYS THE GUITAR.

  • way ahead of his time with feedback and fast licks for that time

  • it's years since I have listened to this

  • SWEET! thanks for posting.. I sold one of these back in the day when I had to dig crates to pay bills (the ones I could pay..) Was going through some of the ultimate breaks of all time setting up touch DJ on my iphone and immediately thought of this--and here it is.. love youtube for stuff like this and dudes like you might it possible.

  • fantastic track !!!!! 5*****

  • yeah. my first time when i heard this fuc....... great

    song. and henkka he`s a king.

  • @maker47fin bb king, albert king and stevie ray vaughn are on you tube doin this song ! OMG

  • Wow, this is totally cool!

  • Thank you for posting! One of the best blues, by one of the blues masters! Classic Hendrix!

  • My Man!

  • so groovy man, this is the shit

  • Wow. Where did you find this?!

  • It's been on a few pre-fame vinyl records. PPX records had 6 CDs of these shows. Google hendrix ppx.

  • @slowdevil probably paul butterfield blues band

  • @slowdevil

    This is also on "The Birth Of Success" lp.

  • yea man...jimis chitlin circuit days!hella soulful!!

  • @dexxxhunt the vocals are actually great

  • 4 sure the vocals are great...who said they werent?

  • Awesome!!! I keep wondering why Curtis was unknown until Jimi made it. They should have been famous.

  • i love this, and albert kings version

  • Is this a Albert King song,or a Lee Dorsey song?

  • it was written by by Alan Toussaint,same guy who wrote working in the coal mines and glen campbells southern nights,thats his song on that axe comercial too,with the chocolate man..sweet touch of love....many ,many bands have covered this song

  • drums are just disgusting! too bad they're not open...

  • i agree....lol

    funny I heard a interview with jimi once and he was asked is that the best drummer you could find? he said, who knows, he was the only willing one and i dont much care cause i have my own beat going on in my head....lol

    he had to be quite a guy

  • @brewereric  thats jimi

  • @chinkadero cool...I have heard lots of his isley bros years but not much of this stuff....awesome just awesome....thanks

  • @drumatic actually not disgusting but more prehistoric very sick groove you are right i think it held jimi back alittle

  • Everybody's version is a cover version of Lee Dorsey's original!! This was cool, never heard Hendrix's version before!! You learn sumpin' new everyday from YouTube!!

  • That's the truth, I searched record shows for years to find the occasional gem, but youtube is loaded with them!

  • The song was actually written by Allen Touissant. Lee Dorsey's version happens to be the most famous. Until now, Jimi blows it up on this track. "I'ma play it one step for ya!"

  • live in hackensack new jersey

  • this is great.

  • Yea baby! go Jimi! i love you and your music even after 40years befor i was born, you still bringing new fans

    peace n love mexico!

    this is some really music, not many will reconize, thank you so much from my heart for posting!

  • This is one of my favs from his time with Curtis Knight. Performed on Christmas plus one, 12-26-65. The bad audio can't mess this up for me. It is pure genius. Live forever, Jimi.

  • thanks bro! im so happy so my comment... if you got more hendrix stuff man, post it please!!
