Never heard anything but Slght Return.

The album entitled Blues has a version called "Voodoo Chile Blues", that lasts about 8:47- this has some missing stuff from the original live-in-the-studio take. The bootleg album entitled Raw Blues has an uncut version of "Voodoo Chile Blues" that clocks in at about 9:19. This boot is well worth looking for. However, I can't seem to recall any live concert versions of this tune with an audience.

Here is the demo version of Jimi playing the song solo, recently released by Sony:

Hope you like it!

Thanks for that link. Very cool.

I’ve had the Blues album for a very long time. I like that take, though not as much as Ladyland. Blues album is great. Cool version of Catfish Blues, Redhouse live, a cool Hear My Train. Really like it.

But, the two highlights from that record? (1) Born Under A Bad Sign; and (2) Bleeding Heart. I don’t know why, but it always gets me when you can hear the amp buzzing on a tune — just makes it a neat atmosphere — and it happens on the both of those. I can tell you, when I got that album in high school I played Bad Sign probably 10,000 times. Just loved it.

Anyway. As to a live Voodoo Chile, I guess I’ll just stick with Clapton and Winwood at MSG, which is also a fabulous take.

The Blues album and the Raw Blues bootleg version have always been my favorite posthumous Jimi "studio" releases- I used to collect everything by Hendrix and I've always liked his blues material the best. That Albert King, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker stuff is what really grabs me.
That's the kind of over-the-top, out-of-control guitar that floors me every time I listen to it. The artwork on the cover of Blues is awesome, too! BTW, I also love that version of VCB by Clapton and Winwood- that's my kind of stuff!

Speaking of “really grabs me”, I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite Jimi song but that’s the way I feel about “Like A Rolling Stone”. The intro he does is just awesome. I also like how he says something along the lines of “I’m gonna bore you for 5 or 6 minutes.”

Jimi is so neat to me. Because he’s not my favorite or really even close to my favorite daily go-to’s. But all the same, he’s so darned good and innovating and original and all the rest, that when I fall into a Jimi rabbit hole I’m there for weeks.

I almost feel like by the time I’m done he will have snuck up on me as someone I’m always listening to.

As I tell folks who ask me, “Eric and Duane are my favorites, but Jimi is probably the best.”

Guess that makes sense for a kid who was obsessed with Magic Johnson but in knew (though would NEVER admit, obviously) that Michael Jordan was the guy who really blew it all up.
