Ben Harper - Voodoo Child

[@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 !

[@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.

[@daineXx]

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

[@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.

[@GOAT9876]

kashmir riff during the middle of the song is sick

[@nickj116]

This never gets old.

[@macabre74]

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

[@Maaaarsel]

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

[@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 💗

[@warritz]

semplicemente impressionante!!!!!!!!

[@kendrix66]

Kashmir thrown in the middle that was cool!

[@dude19288]

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

[@LuaZouk]

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

[@MarkyMark4341]

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

[@tauntG]

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

[@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.

[@goldeneaglevideo]

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

[@jdogzyo]

His slide work is pretty badass!

[@mel0dyism]

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

[@rikibitta]

O.O... the little baby on bass is marvelous...Kashmir !?! hey Jimi did you know this BLACK band? "Ya man I knew them in the sixties" O.O

[@sjljhb]

Holy shit. 11 out of 10 right there.

[@corgiman23]

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

[@GabrielCalderonbiking]

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

[@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^^

[@ahdrx]

Ben is da Man!

[@wherareI]

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

[@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

[@yoganesha]

Simplemente fantástico ❤

[@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. |,,/

[@onebadasstinter]

wow that was awesome....

[@goldeneaglevideo]

Saw him Live in Ann Arbor at Hill Auditorium! Great show!

[@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

[@southroncross]

Excellent video. Thanks for posting this.

[@jrouby]

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

[@loudspeaker003]

DDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this guys got some MAD skills! frickin amazing!

[@AtomicMushroom1]

génial!!!!! j'adore ben harper

[@TheEthio13]

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

[@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

[@musician4life451]

Great cover. A little bit of Kashmir thrown in.

[@Petrucha00]

Best of the best

[@simonepelico9637]

cazzaeokag ... il bassista gliela da di brutto!@@ Harper......sempre!

[@nicolascharles27]

Ce mec est un génie.

[@komatsu_cooking]

Ben Harper rules

[@bogesk]

Man oh man, hell that was good!

[@fixedgearjerk]

How have I missed this video before HOLY SHIT!!!

[@christinademitriou2959]

loved you in 2007 in perth now you are coming back to oz... ohhhh yeah..

[@rise54321]

I was at this show!!!!

[@Iago41]

it comes from the soul maaaaan .....

[@joshythehand2960]

Bro.. that one guys job is LITERALLY to smash more cow bell... awesome.

[@sailentshadow]

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

[@littlehendryx]

every guitar player of chilies was a hendrix huge fan, and flea too loves the guitar god :)

[@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

[@girjjk56]

amazing Ben!

[@scottwhaley4585]

thank you KM

[@vivalakink]

still a great version of the song .....

[@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.

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

still love it!!

[@linemikkelsen9316]

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

[@tapia288]

11 people didn't like that he took up their sweet time. don't worry he'll give it right back, one of these days.

[@stevezinninger1121]

I miss juan. Love to juan. Take care!

[@cilmarfaria4055]

Fantástico

[@graemstevens]

Awesome!

[@nickj116]

Yep. Me too.

[@gutovers]

yeah and ben also does the vocal lines at certain point...awesome!

[@bcdcorinthiano]

Nostalgic!

[@Goatie65]

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

[@troglodave]

Agreed. A major oversight, IMHO.

[@hopelizardfaithfull4546]

geniale l'inserto di una canzone dei Led Zeppelin, ad un certo punto. La creatività di Ben Harper , comunque, non ha confini.

[@youcanfoolmeonce]

I am discovering Jimi every day!

[@gessie]

Gotta love the percussion guy.

[@Recordgrooves]

Ben at his best.

[@jeromesupermensch]

the Best!!

[@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

[@gveezy21]

I can dig it!

[@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.

[@bradbryant3482]

Anyone who gave THIS a thumb's down doesn't know their ASS from a very deep hole in the ground! Find another planet!

[@thesurveyman1]

When is the next UK tour?..... Ben, you are the shit!

[@awoosoul]

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

[@guidoh2710]

Sik!!! i like your Style

[@LloydMassett]

Nice 1 Maan :)

[@sugarraygras]

I have been playing guitar for 15 yrs geezer and I am telling you it is easier to sound like ben is here on a slide than it it to reproduce the magic Jimi on a conventinal strat!!But bens cool in his own way,man.Otherwise I wouldnt be watching.Someone said it was better than Jimi thats why I responded

[@MouradFish]

pas mal......j adore la reprise...

[@MijuRehman]

GOOD NICE TUNE

[@restinpeacejimi]

C'MON BEN, HENDRIX WROTE IT

[@JboCapone]

Ben knows who wrote this song! SRV was the only one who could hold a candle to Jimi's version...why do you think theres so few covers of it? You got to have skills to do this tune justice! and Bens wearing it out on Lap Steel!!! 'Nuff Said!

[@KingKull1971]

A few covers😂 You need to get out more

[@pnbibbins]

Bad-ass jam!

[@fenderdeluxe2006]

very nice

[@jgcaesar4]

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

[@ryder6070]

VOOOOOOODOOO CHILEEEEE

[@MatsGFK]

Insane:)

[@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.

[@TheFirmenname]

total toll

[@hctor5]

7:15 ---> 8:39 O_O just Awsome! perfect end!

[@raptorpaw]

Nice!

[@VoodooChile1982]

I think he ought to play more Hendrix. I don't care for the mix itself but he did a great job. You have to respect his artistic ability.

[@74doomtrooper]

Jimi and SRV would love it!

[@aniki-lobos]

The part from 3:50 to 4:10 is sick shit!

[@FukaAllyas-pn6mt]

Guitar and guitarist!
