This short little song shows Jimi's genius. My favorite version is the one on "Hendrix in the West" which also has the the astounding version of Red House.

Thanks so much for giving us all this, & you needn't apologize for the audio quality: it's the fault of the record labels who refused to record sufficiently Jimi's concerts---taping cost nearly nothing, even a decent board recording on a cheap recorder could sound great, so at least the fans took matters into their own hands, "broke the law," and saved this exquisite version, a love-making version, for cultural history. Otherwise, without this fan & smuggled-rec'r, we'd never hear this rendition

A rare treasure, I've never heard this recorded properly. That is really something special.

@univibe23 The Hendrix in the West version of Little Wing is from the Royal Albert Hall concert in '69.

I was at that concert. The sound was so bad because of the echo of the building. This is pretty much what it sounded like....Thanks for the recording.

@markmarktarmann wow wow talk about bummer dude!!

[markmarktarmann]

@gammafreak yeah thanks, but i was aware. i had pics of that hand position on my wall in' 1969.and wore out smash hits 3 times. my repub catholic john bircher dentist dad wouldn't let me go to commie druggie berkeley to see, you guessed it, his last west show "live on the West Coast". but the trick this guy was asking about went beyond the thumb over ....

[gammafreak]

@markmarktarmann The thumb is the key to unlocking new musical frontiers! He frets the bass note with his thumb, leaving 4 fingers to work their magic!!

[Anuodnekh]

This man had such a kind of fantasy ... he was beyond, unbelievable

[markmarktarmann]

@gbrown4x4 i am not sure but my guess is that he did the sliding up bass note with his right hand, and then reached over with with his "pick" hand, (in his case the left hand since he played lefty) and hammered the trable notes on the fretboard.

[markmarktarmann]

@codehendrix spot on. and you still have to. thru blues and gospel and swing. and THEN comes the funk.ask prince.. that's why so much "soul" and "r & B".aint got it...shit how can they even call it that? not much rythmn, definitely no blues.
