I feel like I heard hendrix's version a million times so I never really gave the Daed's version much time. This is bonkers! Bobby randomly goes off...

Laid back version with some really nice fusion style jamming. Doesn't had for deep space, but segues beautifully into a nice 'Uncle John's Band'

I'm not trying to be provocative but I don't really see what's scary about this, but I am stone cold sober and enjoy Merzbow and stuff, for whatever that's worth I hear some Lather-era Zappa vibes at times, mildly creepy amplified carnivalesque stuff at others... Definitely a voyage It is true that only they could do this

It brings tears to my eyes. The solo is so emotional. Hard to believe there are better versions out there

I personally don't mind the slide, but yes, overall I've been going in and out of this show all day and it's fantastic front to back. Listening to China>Rider again as I type. Sparkling

I want to thank TheFool and Grendel for bringing this show up to the front of the line here. I'm really digging the whole thing.
