New track from BADBADNOTGOOD might be my favorite from them. Duck tape your headphones on and press play.

Outkast ATLiens 25th anniversary remaster

[Redondo]

Went to see WAR at the Edgewater Casino in Laughlin, Nevada last night

I saw them in the 70's at San Bernardino Swing Auditorium

It was packed and people were up and dancing

The rhythm had everyone moving

They still have it and we all had a blast

It was like going back to the 70's again

For all you fans of the '70s...

The most impressive thing about this wonderful cover version is that he laid it down in a single take. RIP SRV.

Ah yes the Relayer tour.

Not even sure it was the Relayer tour but that was their most recent album. I saw them at Anaheim Stadium on 7/17/1976.

I was 16 years old. One of my first concerts.

They had a weird laser light show and props. Looked something like this:

Hendrix was a master innovator, he made a guitar do things no-one had ever heard before, a truly incredible talent.

I can't remember where I heard this anecdote, but back in the mid 1960's Jimi came over to the UK and played his first gig supporting Cream and Eric Clapton. Clapton, who was at the forefront of European guitarists and was seemingly peerless, watched this scruffy little youngster take the stage holding his guitar upside down (he was playing a right handed guitar left-handed) and was completely blown away by the kid's talent, apparently suffering a real "shit, I thought I was good" moment before taking a few weeks off from playing to get his mojo back.

As a big Hendrix fan I was amazed at Stevie Ray Vaughan's cover of Little Wing when I first heard it, and laid down in one take too, just wow. Stevie of course died after taking Eric Clapton's seat on a helicopter that subsequently crashed. Two of the best guitarists ever to pick up a plectrum and both taken from us waaaaay too early.

Guitar solos are gay. 

Same with the drums.

I can understand that @Tank, Hendrix was an innovator and produced a very dirty sound, Star Spangled Banner being an excellent example. He made his guitar wail like a banshee, where others make theirs sing like a choir. He redefined the genre, and in doing so he utilised all of the sounds the instrument made not just the notes he played. A genius, no doubt, but also an acquired taste to some degree.
