Jimi Hendrix RARE!!! Somewhere Over The Rainbow Studio Recording

[therushproject]

Jimi but No rules in music love him for that Hero!!!

[YuhDoanSay]

Tears 4 all our loss...

[tuckerrhall67]

this is a Late '69 begining cut to the " New rising Sun" evolution,.... he never got to finalize nor really mix this gem into his "standard" but it is smoking just the way it is,... thanks hope the info is on target,... his trip was vague and some of the goodies may be old and put to use years later,... he was that way... he would sit on a vibe for some time then let it out when the Ying / Yang worked for that trip,... its pretty natural if u think 'bout it...

[Maculification]

The correct title is just "Somewhere". You can find this track as I remember on albums like:

-Jimi Hendrix - The Jimi Hendrix Experience (on disk 2)

-Crash Landing(Unreleased)

-Axis Outtakes (also on disc number 2)

And some more perhaps. :)

Greatings from Poland to all Hendrix fans! ^^

[MyTiti54]

CCCoooll !!!!

[6s4sFXon]

Oh yea!

[3lr3yd3lmundo]

greate tUne(((mUsic cisUm)))enUt gratci 4 the share

[tuskedbeast]

Beautiful.

[16yearoldwhiteboy]

I like this as good as Art Tatum's version of this song, though of course on a different instrument!

[tuckerrhall67]

This was just before his passing round '69 when he was putting Eladyland studio together, he sat on this material and was moving toward this symbiosis with the Valleys o Neptune,... Midnight Lightning,...type of groove,... ,...... this "raw" outline is just that,... I've had this tune in my arsenal for over 20 years and it always makes me think of a raw canvas with some pencil scribbled over it,..... I love it,... thanks and hope I could lend some insight if I'm correct,....

[thekillamc21]

jimi was and always will be the man.. got a picture framed of him in my room to remind me of that. when i think of raw original creative music i think of him or just great music in general. in such a short time he did so much to change the rock n roll scene. talent was an understatement. when he picked up a guitar he tunred into god.

[toehead41]

@JimmyPage97 what you mean to say is that there is Guitar gods, then theres Jimi Hendrix

[DetachaplePenis]

Anyone can accomplish what Jimi did. But Jimi just went for it!

[gunsnroses0987]

There's guitar gods, then there's guitar titans

[DinoDyl]

@gunsnroses0987 There's guitar gods, then there's guitar titans. Then there is Jimi hendrix.

[gunsnroses0987]

@DinoDyl i like that haha

[1AppleofEden]

LOL This is a NOT a Rare Unknown song as this video claims...I believe this is off the Crash Landing album released after he left this material plane...In fact, THAT is an album where Jimi plays rhythm, lead & bass ALL Simultaneously more than his other albums so check it out...

[JimmyPage97]

@1AppleofEden It was a question.

[TheDavidlish2011]

Thank You.

[mmbmbmbmb]

Thank you !!!!!!!!

[xaladolokiyo]

not so rare but yeah fuckin nice

[4s2work]

A person like Jimi comes once in a life time but luckily such a person influence others forever!!!!

[paullubliner]

He's gone 41 years now, the day he died I was devastated. I picked up guitar and have been playing ever since. WHAT HE DID that none of today's players do is simply this: He played his own "mode" the one in his head, it's very apparent here, do you understand? Also, his playing was very "loose." So sure of himself that "mistakes" did not exist. John Barry (Pendergrass) developed his own mode as well, and it became James Bond. IF you don't hear your own well, then, you're just an "also ran."

[gregboy59]

"those people so up tight , they sure know how to make a mess" prophetic

[rollingstopp]

sweet gentle sounds

[Ulysses447]

Man. I hope Jimi is jamming with George and John up there.

[TheFiyahfly]

@Ulysses447 Fuck yeah! George Washington and John Adams were awesome presidents!

Yes, I kid.

[vonhomiesrock]

jimi hendrix died because god needed a guitar lesson

[Tangaloa1]

Guitar God of guitar gods.

[TyTy0315]

the best

[TheStratguys]

beautiful

[badboykane]

Thought this song was just called "SomeWhere", that's what it's titled on my "Jimi Hendrix Experience Box Set" and on my original "Crash Landing" LP.

Great song, great artist.

[pappyturk]

Bought Crash Landing 2 or 3 days before "official" release at Dearborn Music,in yep..Dearborn Mich...and then Midnigh Lightning...had alread owned LOOSE ENDS....owned all on 8 Track and LP...

[hombrelubinero]

I had this on tape back in the 70's. I worn the damn thing out and had to get me another. One of kind..that's Jimi

[zacvans]

The solo is so perfect it sends shivers down my spine... its like a avalanche falling down a mountain in perfect harmony

[bubba19805]

I believe he would have discovered was to heal the body with sound ,what a pity to lose such a genius!!

[Glassandcandy]

Everyone knows that Jimi was the reincarnated version of Robert Johnson, the real question is who has he been reincarnated into now?

[purpleblinkr]

This is something special.

[beammeup99]

hey jimi didnt play all the instruments on this album other studio musicians helped him like john maclaughlin from mahavishnu orchestra aotherrs jimi was expanding his talent in a new direction with crash landing then he died he would of blown us away even more had he lived

[beammeup99]

hendrix did so much in a little time no telling what he would of did if he lived, crash landing shows you how much he was changing, if you listen to the words of his songs he saw life and explained them like lennon a fucking genius, there aren't many musicians today at all that can make a whole cd to listen too two songs and the rest sucks on the cd hendrix,led zep,robin trower,dave mason, skynard,stones,floyd,grand funk,black sabbath cannot be reproduced ever

[Gregorypeckory]

I love this tune but it's not rare. I think it's on Crash Landing, but not positive-definitely one of the mainstream vulture Alan Douglas releases though.

[tacomann07281995]

I like it its beautiful

[superdriver777]

1:19 Doc wears those pants in Back to the Future I when they are in 1955 lol

And damn that song was beautiful. I love stumbling on videos like this, because I had definitely never heard this song before. Thanks for posting it!

[tsvc2010]

That's beautiful

[lighteningboy]

Awesome, totally awesome

[Headslaught]

This isn't rare what i know

[jimifanaticKiNkii]

JIMI YOU WERE A FUCKING SPECIAL ONE. A RARE ONE. YOU'LL LIVE ON WITHOUT ANYONE EVER BEING ABLE TO REPLACE YOU FOR AS LONG AS THIS PLANET IS STILL ALIVE.

[MyPitMind]

@jimifanaticKiNkii that is why some people born with true gifts that noone can surpass them and do u know why?cuz they dont follow no one they have their own style.today if u want to be a pop singer u must follow those idols or if u want t be a metalhead u must hate rappers and poppers so the true gift comes from our own specializes and no from some one else style

[bond00777777]

nice blues nice blues

[ZipperZappleZ]

cool tone got a primitive ring modulator of some sort prolly had his thumb draped over the tape to get that flange, finally a tape delay and then the strat selector switch is set all jacked up to get that sproing.

he hadda be patient with his equipment to get all that smooth happenin

[PutItAway101]

@ZipperZappleZ Where do you hear a ring modulator on here? I think you might be thinking of something else. A ring modulator makes an unmistakeable distorted atonal noise, nothing like that on here.

[ZipperZappleZ]

@PutItAway101 faintly on the solo at the end. but i'm sure you're quite right, i must be mistaken

[kares334]

Somewhere, where the eagles fly high..

where the universe attracts the sky high..

where rain appears as earth's trinkets,

it's hues splay, bend - bowing to earth's attraction!

...

..Rainbow

[superdriver777]

@kares334 what is that from? Its really cool!

[1AppleofEden]

Its from the "Crash Landing" album,~Jimi could literally play Rhythm, Bass & Lead all simultaneously & on ONE guitar while singing!-

TRUE GENIUS & far more difficult than playing guitar with his teeth & his other stunts...I've never heard of ANYONE capable of this & he didn't just barely pull it off, he played highly technical music this way.

The #1 guitar player & composer/musician of the last several hundred years.

[1AppleofEden]

Its now known, that Jimi could literally play rhythm, bass & lead ALL simultaneously on One guitar & while singing...No one has ever been able to achieve such feats especially live, in studio or with such technical music, although a few have played rhythm & lead...Just barely pulling it off doesn't compare, No one can parallel Jimi's ability-NO ONE.

[JanBlazicek]

@1AppleofEden Although I agree his skill remains unparalleled today, you should take a look at Mr. Tommy Emmanuel, who can pull it off with no problems whatsoever. If you ever get a chance, which you should as he plays about 300 concerts every year, go to one of his shows. The videos here don't do the man justice. He plays electric as well, although I like his acoustic stuff more.

[benderstream]

@1AppleofEden so true!

[meamfood]

@1AppleofEden Even though Jimi Hendrix is my favorite, and in my opinion the most creative guitarist of all time, it's stupid of you to say that. Plenty of other people can play in similar style, it's just that no one can match his creativity.

[Patricotification]

@1AppleofEden

This is true and Jimi is a beautiful gift to us from Nature

[Noseheros]

@1AppleofEden He had a very interesting lead/rhythm style where he intermixed the two, but I dont think he could simultaneously play bass....

[1AppleofEden]

@Noseheros--If you search around google for a while, you WILL find that this AMAZING feat WAS done by Jimi & a confirmed "feat" & known to those in the studios. It wasn't even disputed by hundreds of fans of other guitar legends in forums. Although "a few" have played rhythm & lead, barely pulling it off.

Maybe he had a custom rig like his other inventions? Somehow he could "CONTROL" all audio output, with his body as a conduit. Keep in mind, Supernatural forces WERE at work.This isn't Clapton

[mrgoodstuff95]

@1AppleofEden Your right man. we're lucky we even got this talent on earth. We miss you Jimi

[JimmyPage97]

@1AppleofEden No one has e'er achieved it, or you never heard anyone else?

[1AppleofEden]

@JimmyPage97 -That's a great compliment coming from a Page fan...

[dolittlelsd25]

@1AppleofEden Preach Brother, preach!

[Noseheros]

@1AppleofEden dude are you for real? he had an amazing style and could interweave lead and rhythm guitar but play bass, lead guitar and sing? you're just nuts now...Jimi's #1 on my lists and my favorite, but you're just being crazy

[MaloneyGuitars]

@1AppleofEden Yea, and he played drums and trumpet at the same time. It was really cool. At the end he kicked over the drums like Keith Moon and stepped on the trumpet and squashed it. It was so rebellious for that time. One show he tried to play the sax with the trumpet while singing but it was too much because he was playing guitar with his teeth so he could have a hand open for a drum stick, so Paul McCartney finished the song on a harmonica because he didn't know how to play sax.

[icoson]

YOW!

[sandiegoled13]

omfg!!!!

[milkboner666]

Music Icon Forever!The #1 musician

 ever to hit the stage!

[daniel18591]

kok ya bisa Jim bikin musik kayak gini yaaaaa??? KEREN BANGEEEET!!!!

[blackdude57]

@daniel18591 waw waa pling -ling hendrix lead solo twang twang

[jakepepsi1]

holy shit, have slanted eyes listenin to this, punchy riff!wow!

[bamboosa]

Jimi never, ever would have added that stupid echo. I hate Douglas right now.

[Vugam]

@bamboosa Don't worry, dude. If you look in West Coast Seattle Boy, there's the original version of this song, without any Douglas stuff.

I will upload it later to youtube.

[Zepster77]

@bamboosa aw man, really? crash landing, midnight lightning... I loved those records man. Douglas is long dead, what's the use to hate. Jimi loved echo anyway

[truthkmgmailcom]

Awww yea

[opalmanxx]

Cool!!!!!

[waydeepinside]

EPIC !

A magic man doing what a magic man does........

this song has so many demonsions in it, I cannot even find words to describe it .

[RUEXP78]

got this on 'Crash Landing' LP, favourite hendrix song, 'those people so uptight, they sure know how to make a mess' quality lyric!! Genuis at work, cheers for the post

[MrJohnthegreat22]

yes a Douglas greed event trying to milk as much of some of Jimi's material after he died.

[MrJohnthegreat22]

yes a Douglas greed event trying to milk as much of some of Jimi's material after he died.

[stratas2]

Crash Landing is another good album. when they find other tapes and release something else, Jimi is still just as good all these year later. we are lucky he recorded often.

[davidwatson]

i love this song .. but it is not rare .. Crash Landing.Reworked studio tapes w bs, drums and gtr replaced.

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

i had to listen to this one

[mooglelove99]

I see fingers, hands and shades of faces, reaching up but not quite touching the promised land. i hear please and prayers and desperate whispers saying oh lord please give us a helping hand yeah yeah yeah

[anonymoose711]

Isn't this Earth Blues?

[FAZOOO]

DAMN!!!!

[clarkkent69xxx]

creativity comes from denial of the current system

[Katalysator53]

Truly brilliant! This is a song I have never heard before.

[JimmyMarshall27]

Great post. This is one of my favorite "Collector Hendrix." Have you hears the very slow, amazing version of 1983... which is on the same "colletable CD" ? It is Fucking awesome, like all Hendrix. We should have more access to Real un-meddled with, Jimi music, but that frightens the Powers that Be and keep removing it from the net. Jimi wouldn't like that!!!!!!!!!!

[MrRokinrob]

gotta dig Jimi

[MusicalRelease]

Oh my, now that is good ol' guitar playing...

Its funny, when you listen to Hendrix quite a bit, you can start hearing where other guitarists get some of their ideas from...

[augustesk8]

im still trying to comprhend the intro

[smittersmitter]

off the album crash landing released after his death if memory serves me correctly another good tune from that album is peace in mississippi...good sound though thanks for posting

[rikkeeked]

it is so not rare... and it's so good, oh my jimi, that's good!

[AbsintheDream]

Just to everybody Jimi is certainly playing guitar on this track & indeed all the tracks on crash landing, studio musicians were brought in to flesh out the material by douglas thats all. whether he should have done that is another story but you can find just about all the unaltered versions of the crash landing songs if you dig around.

[universalmanchild]

@AbsintheDream just the backing guitar track, the rest were added, fact.

[AbsintheDream]

@universalmanchild I have the unaltered version of this song & all the lead playing etc. is hendrix FACT, Jeff Mironov is also on here no doubt but only as a rhythm guitarist

[universalmanchild]

@AbsintheDream No he adds leads, go read electric gypsy, I too have the unaltered version along with over 2000 hendrix songs. If you listen to the unaltered version its bare with only a couple over dubs. Douglas added a lot of layers after the fact.

[AbsintheDream]

@universalmanchild Just listened to 3 versions of this on hendrix boots & the 2000 boxset all untouched versions & the hendrix leads are all there man, i'm not hearing any mironov solos on this, i'll say again he's fleshed out the rhythm & added a embellishment here & there but no outright solos

[blackdude57]

@AbsintheDream this is all hendrix mironov plays lead in alternate versions on the album crash landing where this one is on

[blackdude57]

@universalmanchild he is not playing any lead in this one my friend

[lorenalovedoggy]

Never knew any of this material existed. I thought it was him, til I read & found out differently, really listened and yes, one can tell its not him singin. We will never know for sure how Jimi would have sounded. If Jimi could know people played his unheard music, this doggie girl believes he would have had a smile on his face, for it sure did sound as if it were from heaven.

[AbsintheDream]

@lorenalovedoggy it is jimi singin believe me lol, it's not even a rare song it was released in 1975 on a posthumous release called crash landing, the reason hendrix fans get annoyed with crash landing was alan douglas production methods like wiping original drum tracks & bringing in studio musicians to flesh out some of the material, I actually don't mind what douglas did with this track but you can hunt down the original unaltered version i think it's on the 2000 boxset.

[amnesiacjimmy]

@lorenalovedoggy

Of course it's him singin have you not ears????

[Zepster77]

It's not rare, but it's great!!! Though lots of people put down the Alan Douglas productions of posthumous Henrix material, I love them and always have: Midnight Lightning and Crash Landing are both awesome and pretty close to the way Jimi would have realized them, in my opinion.

[Gilad11235]

might not be Jimi playing the guitar, but it's a good studio guitarist; you can't say it isn't. Personally, as much as I would prefer to hear Jimi over any other guitarist, I find it a pleasure hearing a good guitarist regardless

[zappalaney]

crash landing lp .............buy it !

[Claudius690]

Guys

This track is on Crash Landing. It was produced based on tapes of Hendrix will post-production including addiotnal guitar.

[amancu1963]

according to what i've found in the net both are playing:

2 Somewhere Over The Rainbow 3:31 Bass - Bob Babbitt Drums - Alan Schwartzberg*  Guitar - Jeff Mironov Guitar, Vocals - Jimi Hendrix Written-By - Douglas* , Hendrix*

[MrEndofhate]

Isn't this from Rainbow Bridge? It's been so many years I don't remember.

[universalmanchild]

too bad its bullshit and not even jimi playing guitar on this. its from Crash Landing people.

[TozerBGood]

@universalmanchild Sure sounds like Jimi singing to me - hard to fake that

[universalmanchild]

@TozerBGood dude its not him. its a fact. its a studio musician. look it up.

[universalmanchild]

@TozerBGood yeah its him singing but all the guitar is done by someone named Jeff Mironov.

[siremj]

attractive to discover, rarity of the type. .... and like if the first time that met the blues!! thanks jimi

[TheFunktipus1]

Never heard this before. Bloody good old chap

[merseymain]

Excellent. Thanks Marty(Facebook)

[tokegod]

hes just being creative and at least lukeskynyrd was nice enough to put this up!!!

[codehendrix]

why is this called some where over the rainbow .... that means its supposed to be the song from the wizard of ozz and it is certainly not!

[MrCaptainCoconut]

@codehendrix It's actually called just ''Somewhere''. I don't know why ''Over The Rainbow'' is added.

[CazadorSkate]

VIVA LA HENDRIX!!!

[spikerocks08]

...R.I.P Electric Gypsy

[gronain27]

this is jimmy i know his voice and his way to play

the god jimmi

[222Lightning]

Hendrix was a cool as hell loner. I had a dream about him once, he had rooster feet in a studio with just a hole of a window near the ceiling. He was looling up at it and was frustrated with just not being able to get an idea to sound like what he wanted. It was overcast and getting ready to rain hard outside his window. Red was heavy in the dream around him but everrything else was blues and greys.

[Burqua12]

not the "Somewhere over the rainbow", that I'm used to but ok.

[jennyparfum]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[romienomie]

This was one of my favorite Hendrix tunes off of that Crash Landing album. The Isley's did a song called "Ain't I been Good to You' that sort of reminds me of this. His chord work is excellen!

[cree8vision]

I know this was called 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' on the original Crash Landing album however this is the same lyrics and slower but same music as 'Earth Blues' on the Rainbow Bridge album.

[Gregorypeckory]

@cree8vision I agree that this is clearly not the melody Judy Garland sang. However, you need to take another listen to Rainbow Bridge, and I'm sure you'll agree that this is not Earth Blues either.

[cree8vision]

@Gregorypeckory Yeah, I guess it was the first verse that gave me that idea. So you're named after Zappa's upwardly mobile wild swine with the tie that stretches from Texas and Paraguay?

[Gregorypeckory]

@cree8vision Yes-I love Zappa, and only regret that I didn't use the name "Broken Hearts Are For Assholes", "Yellow Snow", or "I Promise Not To Cum In Your Mouth" (a sensitive love song;)

[Rock351]

The end lead guitar in this song is one of Jimi's finest ever. I just wish it didn't fade out so soon.

[GUITARDALI]

Not rare - On the Crash Landing ripoff album

[Gregorypeckory]

@GUITARDALI Indeed it is, and that album (which I admit I bought), was a ripoff of the estate, and Alan Douglas' decision to add another guitarist was criminal. Now that I've learned more about Jimi's heirs, I don't feel as bad that they got ripped off-they don't seem to deserve Jimi, and licensing his music for car and candy commercials is disgusting. Was this album more of a rip than the others, because I've always thought all the posthumous stuff was a rip-and that's most of the catalogue!

[tilakswami]

amazing!!!

[blue222blue]

Nice post! Thanks!

[bdis89]

somewhere over the rainbow-jimi hendrix
