Well, she's walking
Through the clouds
With a circus mind
That's running wild
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
And fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind

When I'm sad
She comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me free
It's alright, she says, it's alright
Take anything you want from me, anything
Anything

Fly on, little wing

magnificent song, one of his best imho

and as far as covers go, I've always quite liked this live version by The Gun Club
RIP Jimi and Jeffrey, and thank you, for everything

a late vote for Derek and the Dominos' version, perhaps because they ended so soon after losing Duane Allman, and they didn't have time to play it badly live? i bought the album for many reasons but don't think Clapton was ever as... interesting?

What a fantastic use of the glockenspiel.  Who doesn't love a good glockenspiel in their rock songs?  Would Born to Run, I Will Follow or Sloop John B sound the same without the mighty glockenspiel?  They would have been relegated to B sides.

This is Hendrix at his finest.  Well, maybe Voodoo Child (Slight Return) beats it by just the tiniest fraction of a point.  Maybe.



I dunno, Machine Gun from the Band Of Gypsys album is the benchmark for me ... The groove between him, Buddy Miles, and Billy Cox on that track is just freaking phenomenal. The whole album is pretty stellar although not as commercially oriented and consequently not as popular, or commercially successful if you will, as most of his Jimi Hendrix Experience albums. And it was all captured live at the Fillmore East, New Years Eve '69/'70

I'll jump in here for CoJo, knowing he'd probably think something similar should be said about "a big bowl" of something.

Now that would be cool; a new indica hybrid combining Haagen + Dazs.  I'd blaze that bowl!!

I think the early cut-off is an essential part of experiencing the greatness of this song. Often it is better to get only a glimpse of perfection, than to be given all of it and allowing oneself to be overexposed to it.

Love this track. I've heard it performed at 4 different concerts, including Randy "sounds like Jimi" Hansen, Slow hand (with Robert Cray) , Paul "the Voice" Rogers and Steve "guitar" Miller.
10s across the board!  

The original album version also gets a 10, if not just because of how beautiful the song is, because of how much of a 'staple' in rock/blues guitar it would become. 

Long Live RP!

There were other epic Hendrix fade outs which left us wanting. The ultimate was on Bold as Love. Just blazing, then gone away...

I wish I could hear this song for the first time, without any knowledge of Hendrix just to see how I would respond to it.  I can't imagine not still loving it, but then I also can't imagine my music perspective without Jimi Hendrix in it.

Yup. Leaves you wanting for more.
Same thing on Bold as Love, perhaps even more so. Listen to what he's doing when the fade comes around the 4:00 mark. Mind blowing.

Hi Laz! I've seen ABB a few times, and I dig Duane. No prob with him at all, loved him. Sex, drugs, & R n' R too!

Just saying why do we try to make larger gods out of those who were already gods when they were still with us on this rock? Aren't we all "divine" in our own way?

Yep this Jimi tune and the many others, I agree. Awesomely great stuff that not so many are making these days. Who among us doesn't miss them all enormously...like air or water? I hope we all get to drink some cold ones together in the next world...if there is one.

I'd agree with those picks (no pun intended).
Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck at 3 & 4, IMO.
Or maybe I'd put Page & Beck ahead of Allman, but it's kind of splitting hairs.

Here on Radio Paradise, we just heard the top two guitar players of all time— we heard Duane Allman, who is number two, with the Allman Brothers for the cover called "Trouble No More", and then we heard Jimi Hendrix, who is the number one player of all time...

as Rolling Stone describes Jimi Hendrix—

He had a kind of alchemist's ability; when he was on the stage, he changed. He physically changed. He became incredibly graceful and beautiful. It wasn't just people taking LSD, though that was going on, there's no question. But he had a power that almost sobered you up if you were on an acid trip. He was bigger than LSD.

What he played was fucking loud but also incredibly lyrical and expert. He managed to build this bridge between true blues guitar — the kind that Eric Clapton had been battling with for years and years — and modern sounds, the kind of Syd Barrett-meets-Townshend sound, the wall of screaming guitar sound that U2 popularized...

love this Hendrix song...

When you think of Hendrix's greatest gifts his ability to blend fabrics with contempory swatches of color has to be at the top of that list. What many people don't know is, he was also a pretty good writer of musical verse and song.

Public announcement:  Would the folks who ripped off our Grade 10 silk screen of Jimi, please give it back.  

:-(    

Yes, I know that was 1972 but frankly that was low, really low.

One of my favorite tunes.  Period.

Bummer 'bout the T, westslope.  Praying for your karma...;-)

Great factoid revealed on Morning Joe today: Graham Nash told the hosts (backstage) that Jimi Hendrix was an ace Risk player while tripping on acid.

Terrific.  Stunning.  Awesome.  It's also a song that is good at being covered.  I also like Sting's cover.
