Just bought a Plimsoul pedal - flippin great!

It's my favorite version. Hendrix sound like a god proclaiming from the skies - and I still marvel at that guitar solo. Yes, I think "The Jimi Hendrix Concerts" was the first Hendrix I bought when I was a young 'un. Mostly all great performances (I'd say Hey Joe is marred by the radio interference, but otherwise good).

I personally would love to see footage of him at work in the studio, if any of that exists.

I'm fairly out of it on the Hendrix releases, but I wonder -- what hasn't been released by now?

Wow, this thread is still going. And sadly I no longer have any of the gear I posted in 2006. I miss the Martin the most.

Sam Prekop - self titled and The Church - Starfish (I forgot how good this band could be)

When I watched the documentary about Dr. Bronner's Soap, http://magicsoapbox.com/ I noticed that there was footage of him at the enlightenment center (whatever it was called) - same one featured on Rainbow Bridge. I wonder if the footage is from the Rainbow Bridge film, or an outtake of some sort. edit: oops. I guess youtube confirms this.

Mitchell had to re-do drums for the Rainbow Bridge film? Not too surprising. I really wish the audio was better all around for those sets. I really enjoy watching the film. Jimi Hendrix playing to a bunch of new agey hippies on Maui? Ah the 70's!

It has been forever since I've posted in this forum. Tweedy was in good form last night. I especially enjoyed all the David Lee Roth banter.

I remember hearing an interview with (I think) both Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell in 1983 when King Biscuit Flower Hour did a kind of tribute to the Experience, especially 1983 (a Merman I Should Turn to Be). Does anyone know if this interview is floating around the web anywhere? I've looked for it but so far no luck.

Oh. I guess I am too late, lol. Well if anyone wants to use this cover art, this is what I came up with:

I'll see what I can do as to creating some cover art. I'd love to hear the recording. -James

ok, Jesus, etc. I only remember Jeff encouraging singing on one song. What's wrong with people singing to the songs is 1) They are not "quiet" 2) They are not on key 3) They are not Jeff Tweedy. I paid money for my tickets too & that was so my wife and I could enjoy hearing Jeff Tweedy play a solo set in a nice theater.

I only heard encouraging at the last two songs.

The way to control feedback with hollowbody guitars is to play normally with the volume knob of your guitar down a bit. When you need feedback, turn the volume up. Neil Young also played a hollowbody guitar in his Buffalo Springfield days.

Great show. However, to the jerka** sitting behind me, I paid to hear Jeff Tweedy sing--not YOU!

It's a great solo. I wish Prince would break out the guitar more often.

Our band did an all instrumental version of "Dead Man's Curve" As far as I know it's the only version out there like it. You can hear it, if you dare, at this link: http://theejaguarsharks.bandcamp.com/album/thee-jaguar-sharks

There are many great solos. However one of my personal alltime favorites is on an album called The Jimi Hendrix Concerts. It's on the live version of "Are You Experienced". This is a solo wherein Hendrix earned his reputation as "mutant guitar god from some other planet" for me...an ingenius mixture of feedback, echo, melody, and whammy bar greatness. I've never heard another solo quite like it.

I've found their albums to be terrific, kind of a cross between The Band and Guided by Voices.

It's been a while since I posted here at Via Chicago. I *am* looking forward to seeing Jeff Tweedy solo on Dec. 27 here. We've released our first cd! It's 12 tracks of surf and instro goodness and is downloadable and available on cd. Check it out at TheeJaguarSharks.com If you follow the download link there you'll be able to hear the whole album streaming in lossless quality. Cheers, James.

rest in peace

oh i realize it affects everyone ~ harder to get credit, more businesses closing, more layoffs, dollar worth even less ... i have been expecting it for a while. sad to see it happen, not a lot i can do about it except attempt to vote for candidates that might institute sound monetary policy (do they even know what that is?). the irony is the highest ups at lehman's will probably leave with a golden parachute of millions or else end up the ceo of another bank. hey they might even head up the Fed!
