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'

Sick vocal from Jerry. This version delivers

To my ears this Star takes a little while to finally blast off into deep space, but when it does...WOW. I feel like the Drums interlude slows down the momentum a little, fwiw

Emotional vocal. Great playing, you need this. Leads into a killer Red Rooster
