Wow! That's the real deal, right there! Billy Cox instead of Noel Redding ... still an "Experience"!
About 3:25 - little kid - probably in his mid-50's now ... tells everybody that he saw Jimi Hendrix! "Yeah, right. Sure ya did." 😉
Jimi!!! He was a trailblazer and certainly introduced a new way to play an electric guitar. .Not how Hank Marvin, the Ventures or even B. B. King did it
Gary Moore live in London at a Jimi Hendrix tribute show probably comes the closest equalling Jimi on this song.
This is real hot but not Jimi. Only one Jimi
That Stevie Ray guy did a pretty good job, too!
Yeah Stevie sounds as good as Gary Moore on this song. Both very close to Hendrix. Thanks. Hot stuff.
Wow that's one of the best versions of Voodoo that I've ever heard! Not to diss Noel Redding at all but I love Billy Cox's playing on this.
All in all, this video makes me sad. It was summer of 1970, only a few months before Jimi passed away.
What killed Jimi? In my opinion it was his management team. Think of the 3 year treadmill he had been on since Monterey Pop and the release of his groundbreaking debut Are You Experienced? He was being pushed: More record product, more shows. He was a Cash Cow. If only someone had really cared about what it all might be doing to the man. If they had, someone could have stepped in and said, "You are staying here on Maui for six months. You are going to sit on the beach with your acoustic, partake of Hawaiian bud and Hawaiian girls. THEN we'll talk about getting you back in the studio and back on the road."
I know, it's all wishful thinking. But truth is, Johnny Winter's Manager Paul Nelson stepped in and was most likely responsible for Johnny being productive for the last 10 years of his life. No one seemed to have cared as much about Jimi. Many though wanted a financial piece of him.
New Hendrix footage!!
Put your headphones on. I saw Jimi once in 1968 and while not as loud as Led Zeppelin, the loudest I ever heard, Jimi's guitar WAS LOUD 🔊🔊🔊📢📢 You can get an idea of that on the apparently new footage.
Awesome indeed, the folks back in this day got to witness magic in so many ways. In My opinion, Jimi was the one who braved the trail for all the rest of the world to see and hear. Who would have thought of three Marshall stacks and a Fuzz face. What a great sound.
As we know his life ended way to early, but his music lives on and on as we see with some of the cats who are playing the tunes he helped to establish.
I never got to see Jimi in person or for that matter Gary Moore or Stevie Ray either, but I do think that Kenny Wayne Shepard does a pretty good job on his own take of Voodoo Child.
Thank you for posting this classic!
@rcgp2020 Yes great tone and actually this is the first time I noticed what a great finger vibrato Jimi had. And a great blues player as he says this is slow blues. Probably the slowest Red House I've heard.
I guess if Jimi had lived, and it's a shame someone that talented and innovative died so young, if Jimi had lived...I assume with a rig that loud, Jimi would be wearing big hearing aids now.
@robertdee Great clip! Got a "Mystery Science Theater" thing happenin' here! 😉
No words for the guy who comes to the show in a yellow banana hammock....
Jimi Hendrix seems to come from the future.
A one of a kind guitarist. This is guitar greatness! From the future. Nobody in Jimi's league? Yes I think so.
If there was a picture next to the definition of "Coolness" in a dictionary it would be a picture of Jimi playing live.

This hasn't come out yet but it will!! This was recorded on Neptune 37 years from now.
This guy was coming from a completely different place than other late 60's guitarists such as Page, Clapton, Beck, Duane, Dickey etc.
Great video. Hawaii, there really isn't even that many people there...and horses and vehicles driving up and down the hill outside the boundary of the audience...
I was just reading the notes on the SBD/2nd gen copy of this show I have...lots of notes came with that file set, then upon looking I see they officially released the audio and video (2020).
A little clip from this was in the Brotherhood of Eternal Love film Rainbow Bridge.

Some may remember Orange Sunshine c. 1970.
