Drummer reacts to "Hear My Train A Comin'" (Live) by The Jimi Hendrix Experience

So I scanned the comments from the last weekly Hendrix video and the gist was take a shot and you'll hit something good. And, this one was brought up a few times. Good god am I glad I picked this or what. How does he keep doing it?? Every. Single. Time..... this was one of the best hendrix songs I've ever heard (as a new fan lol)

[@L33Reacts]

Right?? That’s what I said. He was pulling shit off I’ve never heard from him. And this was 1968. So wild.

[@bradjenkins1475]

Man, your entire epilog was like watching a train just heading towards the top of a precipice, suddenly clearing it. And then really going full speed down the decling hill, and that's what you did, and I loved every second of it. You did do a great job calling out Today's music VS what we just listened to. I'll bet anything, the performers today can't actually read music or trust their voices to be heard without technology, or to even simply play an instrument of any kind.

[@L33Reacts]

They are a few still out there… but it’s 95% garbage sadly. I’m glad you enjoyed it! When I hear something this good it makes you want to ask why we haven’t gotten back to this and how good it was

[@claytonpaul4259]

Jimi couldn't read music either. The thing that's missing is *authenticity*

[@bradjenkins1475]

@@claytonpaul4259 Oh. Yes, for sure. Jimmy isn't the only one many, many big names for that period of time Didn't read music, and obviously by their success. They didn't need to, but they got music. They understood music and they could make music. So basically I didn't intend on inferring that everyone in a certain era could read music. I was only trying to refer to then and now and I stand by what I said, especially about the now.

Very Good performance in Winterland…But Live At Berkeley…(Blocked?) is the best musical version IMO, This show is An Epic Experience!!

Definitely different from the Berkeley Community Theater version which lets you know that a Jimi concert was a spontaneous event and not predictable. Two completely different solos, even when it’s only across the Bay in SF

Lee, you can literally check out just about any song from ANY of the Winterland shows and get blown away. The man's innovation and improvisational ability is unmatched. At least in the rock field. To me, the more I listen to him - and I've been doing that for 42 years - the more I put him with jazz giants like Charlie Parker and John Coltrane. It's that level. No other blues or rock guitarist can touch him. And your reactions are doing the man justice by the way. Hendrix. Dylan. The Who. That's it man.

This is a great version. I have the acoustic version from the Blues album. It’s awesome too. Jimi was only 27 when he died. It’s impossible to know what he could’ve accomplished. 😢 He was a humble thoughtful man. As much as I love his guitar, I really love his voice. Thanks for digging deep.

It's not but it's a good one imo. The live Rainbow Bridge version is the last track on "Blues."

Back in 1987, when I was 17, me and a buddy of mine drove over an hour to go to a record store we heard about, got followed by the cops, probably because I had flames painted on my car, , but , , the only 2 things I bought was Jimi Hendrix, Live At Winterland and Johnny Winter, And Live ! Fantastic albums ! And Killing Floor jams a bit more than Howlin Wolfs version, and Howlin Wolf did a pretty good version!

Your rants are beautiful.. and totally nail it. Hey, times were different then. Record stores and radio was the internet in those days. Go back to the turn of the 20th century and all the popular music of the 20's, 30's, and 40's, you'll find common threads with the progression of music from the 50's, 60's, and 70's. It's all cool. The new music is formulaic. No-one's letting it all hang out. Or maybe everything has already been written.

I liked the version on Rainbow Bridge so much I imported (I'm in Can.) the VCR of Live At Berkeley from the U.S. because I wanted to watch him play it - and only part of the song was there - the solos were missing. Then it came out on the Hendrix -Blues compilation. Later I think I saw that it was on Vimeo for a while, but it's gone now.

​@-R.Gray- This version is from the 2011 Winterland 4 disc box set. They released a single disc highlights version as well, but the set is what you want. Get your hands on it or download it ASAP.
