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...

Raggedly glorious vocals from the man matched only by crystal clear soloing

Jittery, dark industrial soundtrack vibes on this one. Love it

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'

This is one of my Top 5 Bob vocals....and also one of the sickest wah-wah segues

This is far and away my favorite version of this song that I've yet heard. Never one of my favorite tunes...this version smokes and deserves to be heard.

Absolutely amazing breakdown full of killer soloing. One devastating performance here.
