Ben Harper - Voodoo Child

Live!

[@rinomomorris5098]

Closest thing to Hendrix our lifetime will ever fucking know.

[@SheIsJustARat]

I'll NEVER forget seeing Ben perform this song live in 98. Truly life changing...

[@jordanpyles7899]

I first saw him open for Pearl Jam in North Carolina about same time. Maybe 1996 or 97. Like you said. Life changing. When he did excuse me mr. and on down. Then another lonely day. I love bass player also

[@cronologicainfo]

Holy shit, this is an army! Ben Harper is the most versatile, dynamic and plural musician of this generation.

[@vipelere]

+cronologicainfo Yes man you're right, he does everything and he does it well !

[@MarkyMark4341]

the part where it goes into Kashmir is pretty sweet too this guy is just plain amazing

[@onebadasstinter]

His conviction is unmatchable..

[@Itsmemulder]

The pure awesomness is the one who created the song ! shame on you to compare him with any other musicien, he was from an other planet. RIP JIMI.

[@stevetimman]

First saw Ben at Horde about 1995 or so. He's an absolute fav of mine since that day. He like to just jam out on stage and it's great to listen to.

[@nickj116]

This never gets old.

[@Maaaarsel]

When Ben cover the classics is bigger than the biggest!!!!!!

[@daineXx]

hes a sick lapsteel guitar player with alot of feeling, this is the real deal!

[@macabre74]

Voodoo Chile and Kashmir.....Pure Goodness!!!!!!

[@jojonz4342]

My heart is always with "Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals", I never get sick of nothing in this world" This is my medicine, HARD 💗

[@tauntG]

This is soo good... Man he can play slide, and props to for respecting Stevie Ray. Harper shreds.!!

[@GOAT9876]

kashmir riff during the middle of the song is sick

[@jdogzyo]

His slide work is pretty badass!

[@dude19288]

This is a really sick jam! Just got into Ben Harper, didn't know he did this stuff!

[@kendrix66]

Kashmir thrown in the middle that was cool!

[@warritz]

semplicemente impressionante!!!!!!!!

[@can4ente]

If all Music of dead Composers and Musicians wasn't get played again life, we just could listen to Compact Disc or Vinyl of what had happened before. To me this sounds good.

[@LuaZouk]

Harper playng like Hendrix and finish with Zeppelin - Kashmere. Nice!!!

[@corgiman23]

That's what music needs to come back too hell yes

[@sailentshadow]

I could def. jam out to this....

[@mel0dyism]

As if his fabulous voice isn't enough! Thank you!

[@goldeneaglevideo]

A little Kashmir in there too by Led Zep is what I hear also

[@GabrielCalderonbiking]

God....what a song, what an artist....

[@nicolascharles27]

Ce mec est un génie.

[@sjljhb]

Holy shit. 11 out of 10 right there.

[@southroncross]

Excellent video. Thanks for posting this.

[@NotJustMusic]

@nvsd270 Voodoo Chile and Voodoo Child are two complety different songs. Voodoo Chile is a 15min during blues song, where as Voodoo Child(using the wah wah) is the song that Ben Harper and SRV covered. They both appeared on Electric Ladyland in 1968

[@wherareI]

First I heard this song. Like how he gave it a bit of a 90s feel while keeping the root of the song.

[@ahdrx]

Ben is da Man!

[@cerberus50caldawg]

Feel the strength pouring through that slide... raw. Ben's at the top of his game when hes plugged in and seated. Thank.s for the vid. |,,/

[@nvsd270]

stevie wrote the original, note jimi hendrix's version is called Voodoo Child (slight return) where as stevie ray's is called Voodoo Chile, also dated earlier than jimi's recording

[@onebadasstinter]

wow that was awesome....

[@yoganesha]

Simplemente fantástico ❤

[@JimmyMarshall27]

Ben Harper is doing this complete justice. Of course he knows Jimi wrote it. 12 year olds in China know that. I dig the fact that he got the vibe right. Thanks Ben. Jimi is diggin it.

[@ryder6070]

STevie did the ORigianl BROdamang

[@jrouby]

Fuckin' great version !! Slide guitar Ben Harper's play is awesome !

[@bogesk]

Man oh man, hell that was good!

[@cilmarfaria4055]

Fantástico

[@TheEthio13]

@janiee32 Jimi wrote this song. Though it has evolved from previous blues son "Catfish Blues", it's jimi's. RIP Jimi, RIP SRV!

[@linemikkelsen9316]

This is SO COOL: Whenever you need to chill out, try this.

[@awoosoul]

@MrRsan1010 Wow man is this all you have to say after watching such a great talent?

[@hlvBROWNboy]

hes always got a poppin bassline

[@jeromesupermensch]

the Best!!

[@Recordgrooves]

Ben at his best.

[@stevezinninger1121]

I miss juan. Love to juan. Take care!

[@sticksman1979]

I could totally handle the percussionist's job on this one!

[@kennymace1923]

sticksman1979 no, you could'nt

[@theachomeabidjan]

simply Voodoo spirits , the bass too

[@stefanoiltosko]

if Jimi sees this , I think , is really really happy.

[@troglodave]

Agreed. A major oversight, IMHO.

[@raptorpaw]

Nice!

[@nickj116]

Yep. Me too.

[@FukaAllyas-pn6mt]

Guitar and guitarist!

[@TheFirmenname]

total toll

[@TerdVader]

When you guys get up and play it in front of 30000 people, you can dedicate it to whomever you want. Who wrote the song has nothing to do with it at all, only who influenced him to play it, or maybe to play guitar for that matter. It's a personal thing, so don't judge. Word.

[@LloydMassett]

Nice 1 Maan :)

[@jgcaesar4]

@janiee32 Wrong. Jimi Hendrix wrote this in 1968. It was first recorded on Electric Ladyland. Stevie covered it.

[@ryder6070]

VOOOOOOODOOO CHILEEEEE

[@gveezy21]

I can dig it!

[@bonecracker23]

I agree with you on the fact that Jimi and SRV are untouchable when it comes to blues/rock, but I really don't think it's easier to play voodoo chile on slide, you have to be honest and admit Ben's cover is really incredible^^

[@MatsGFK]

Insane:)

[@RedHeadAvenger]

Yes Jimmy wrote this but if you have ever heard S.R.V. you would understand why Ben dedicated it to him. RIP Jimmy and Stevie Ray.

[@74doomtrooper]

Jimi and SRV would love it!

[@jsr9422]

slide is killer!

[@restinpeacejimi]

C'MON BEN, HENDRIX WROTE IT

[@thnardi]

He has no pick. he play with just the fingers. amazing

[@rainsender]

@iol8 or RATM's "wake up" the soundtrack from the matrix wich is very similar.

[@ryumishima44]

There is no need :) Just playing a cover means tribute and dedication.... ben really respects jimmy :D

[@RedHeadAvenger]

This was more about Stevie Ray Vaughn. RIP

[@LJH70122]

Interesting take on a classic . Maybe he shouted out to Double Trouble(which I didn't even notice) because they were on the bill at Bonneroo. They do still tour once in a while. And this was Slight Return , the version they did with SRV , rather than the original Voodoo Chile , which I like better. But , anyway , EVERYBODY knows it's a Hendrix tune.

[@Goatie65]

Mad slide guitar gives an authentic Hendrix sound...but Hendrix did it without the aid of slide, wow

[@pedrosousa7669]

fucking awesome
