Jeff Beck and Seal-Manic Depression (A Tribute To Jimi Hendrix)

Seal's vocals and Jeff's guitar playing do a great service to Jimi Hendrix's original tune.

Beck nails Hendrix on this one. it's amazing to me how many guitarist SAY they sound like Hendrix, but Beck does it better than anyone. even his tone is that of Jimi. Their is no one like Jeff. SRV can do Jimi, but NOBODY can do Jeff.

@KILLERDYNOCRUISERS Great comment. Jeff was one of the first people Hendrix wanted to meet when he arrived in London. Clapton was the second one he wanted to meet.

Had this album since it first came out. This clearly is the best tribute on it, although Living colour does a great job with Crosstown Traffic.

Hendrix always played like he was playing the riff for the very first time. Beck goes down that highway here.

@KILLERDYNOCRUISERS Actually, Nigel Tuffnal did a pretty good Jeff

interviews, anyways.. lol

This is the most true blue homage to Hendrix in existence...

Awesome song! I love the dynamic breakdown towards the end. JB and Seal are both ridiculously talented individuals! Bass player and drummer nailed it man!

well said i don't know any major player that has ever tried to cover beck a wizard a true force of nature ....hendrix the poet and guitar wonder of the ages was served well by this homage....i've never heard anyone cover a hendrix tune with such conviction ...i think he raised the bar an inch on this one

beck got it and made it his own

@KILLERDYNOCRUISERS I agree with most of this statement, but I believe srv to be a better jimi, and I think steve vai is beck on roids. Just my opinion, dont take me for an expert.

Never heard this before and it's amazing!

Beck and Hendrix jammed together in NYC at the Scene Club . The Electric Lady studio was nearby. Hendrix reputedly recorded everyday of his professional life - somewhere out there is a tape of it.

@JeffBeckAndFriends Man, I've seen Beck do some AMAZING things with his Strat plugged STRAIGHT into a Marshall. Ritchie Blackmore also says Beck pulls notes from a guitar that no other player can. Beck is always on the edge and is not afraid to stretch the boundaries of the guitar.
