Members street survivor Posted July 27, 2006 Members Share Posted July 27, 2006 BUCK IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE PLAYERS also! i learned every song, note for note on the live album some enchanted evening as a kid. i know most of there stuff backwards and forwards. and i know all about that laser eye burn!! i saw them in 77 with black oak arkansas in las vegas at the old aladin theatre. they would hit the mirror ball with one of those up the sleave lazers and it would glint off in a bunch of tiney lazers and spin the ball around, then stop it. then start it and stop it. one time they stoped it, it was right between my eyes, and do to my state of mind during that show, i was diggin' it!! all i saw was lazer for 3 days after. aaaahhh to go back again huh 335?

Members Joe Bones Posted July 28, 2006 Members Share Posted July 28, 2006 Be a LOT faster to list the Hendrix stuff I don't like...I've been a huge fan for 30 years and like almost everything he did. The ones I can play (sort of) are Come On (Let the Good Times Roll) and The Wind Cries Mary If I had to pick one favorite Hendrix Tune, it would be Long Hot Summer Night.

Members medvejonok Posted August 4, 2006 Members Share Posted August 4, 2006 Voodoo Chile... any version! Like so much that Jimi did, despite the blues origins, this comes out of nowhere! Talk about original! Talk about a true artist! Everything Stevie Ray Vaughn did, Jimi did first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members septopus Posted August 4, 2006 Members Share Posted August 4, 2006 Originally posted by jerry_picker That may be an intentional mind bender, starting a sentence with one idea that appears to be going somewhere and then sending it with a twist somewhere else, just to spice up your space-out. "And so castles made of sand, slips into the sea..." could also read, ""And so castles made of... sand slips into the sea..." So, it is the sand that slips (and the castles are left hanging in your subconscious). At a poetic level this makes (some) sense, especially as it echoes the plight of the girl in the wheelchair. She intends to go the route of the sand into the sea, but, owing to the distraction of the ship is left somewhere else like the castle. Maybe. Neil Young and Bob Dylan also do stuff like this: take you on one road but drop you off on another with wordplay. Ambiguity is a huge part of rock lyrics. That's an interesting take, and very much appreciated, I honestly think that lyric may bug me a lot less from now on.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sir_Les Posted August 4, 2006 Members Share Posted August 4, 2006 No one got any love for the Band of Gypsys album (apart from Machine Gun)? That's some of Jimi's best playing on there...... He covers so many styles of music as well. The intro to Power of Soul is my favourite Jimi moment, pure genius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ballhawk Posted August 4, 2006 Members Share Posted August 4, 2006 Everyone's mentioned my faves so I'll add one that I like that I have not seen yet. Night Bird Flyin' - great middle section with harmonized lead lines and a killer climax going into the outro of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. It is actually a very contrived rationalization on my part to keep the poor grammar from irritating me in an otherwise nearly perfect song.
