Little Wing - Most Amazing Version - Andy Timmons & Travis Larson

An absolutely beautiful and stunning cover of Little Wing by Andy Timmons with Travis Larson at Jammin Java Monday July 30th, 2018.

[@lnugent1000]

I’ve heard this covered 1 million times… But when I saw that it was Andy Timmons I had to stop and listen! Brilliant!

[@carlquance2542]

As a 69 year old guitarist who covers that Hendrix tune, I am humbled and inspired. Absolutely amazing guitar work. Jimi is smiling ….❤️🎸🎸

[@cliffords2315]

Dynamics, is the secret to that song, im 70, yes great job

[@glennmartin4043]

Andy Timmons is the best Rock guitarist on the planet. So much melodic artistry and sophistication in his playing. Every solo he plays is next level even among the best. Amazing.

[@bradt73]

Well said!!

[@jackpeterson7008]

Try Jeff Becks version. BFFTBE,

[@michaeloconnor6333]

Thank you for posting this!!! I was at that show! We got there early and were just hanging out chatting with friends, chillin, and all of a sudden out of nowhere, Andy was standing with us with his hands in his pocket "chillin". We were all noticeably surprised, and Andy was like, "hey what's happening guys, thanks for coming to check out the show..." And continued to chat with us for a few minutes before he went on to greet others. Super down to earth nice guy. I always heard that about him but to experience it firsthand was very nice and my respect for him grew exponentially. And the show, like all of his shows, was amazing! Thanks again for posting this video. Peace

[@mrporter2u]

Nice! I was at this show, too! Only time I've gotten to see him live thus far.

[@hippytrippyjonboy828]

Wow, I'd absolutely love to have an encounter like that. One of the pedals high up on my list that I REALLY would like to get and use is the keeley Andy Timmons Halo pedal. I really feel it would fit my own style and sound very very well. It'll likely end up being the exact delay pedal that I've been looking for to add flavor to the main heart and soul of my own sound and what I like to play. That said mainly I'm wanting to build a very special pedal board that will do both hendrix and srv style tones and stuff(clyde mccoy wah, benson temp controlled germanium fuzz, a pedal pawn gypsy vibe v2, an older dunlop octavio/octavia lol(rip jimi), an ibanez ts9 tube screamer, a pedal pawn texan twang drive, and finally a legit vintage Leslie pedal like bonamassa uses). And maybe at some point throw a keeley darkside v2 back in there, I owned one but sold it regrettably.

[@minkorrh]

Without a doubt. I wrote him a snail-mail letter back in 2018 or so, and .........He wrote me back! Guy is an amazing human and a talent without equal.

[@hamzaabdullah1042]

It’s actually absurd how good Andy is

[@adammbuisberbat1680]

Çok doğru

[@maxmillan4681]

Well he's a lousy singer..😅

[@chasescanlon6488]

7:45 nothing better then two very talented musicians losing their self’s in the music. Beautiful. This is not just beautiful. It’s transcending. Thank you for this post

[@RogerBranch]

The fact that this song is covered so much shows the esteem for which it is held. A true timeless immortal masterpiece by the one and only Jimi Hendrix.

[@briangerrard420]

I grew up with a musical family background. Music is my life & what these 2 men just did here was nothing short of fantastic harmony.

[@jimfromoh8944]

Man that takes some balls playing solo on stage with Timmons. Well done Travis!

[@Copinchen01]

I love the Hendrix Original and some Covers. But this one is absolutely outstanding. Love it, too! 🙂

[@barryeinsohn2839]

Absolutely Beautiful, never heard something so Floating like notes on air, both you guys, incredible band, my favorite Hendrix song. L. 🌺

[@SvenBlumer]

What's apparent is that although Andy is probably the sharpest player in the room, his demeanour is that of everyone else is. Dang we need more dudes like this!

[@neilreid9005]

Seeing these superb artists play Little Wing reminds me for the 1000th time that kids these days have nothing at all musically to compare with this. Brilliant and incredibly enjoyable. Wow.

[@valebliz]

That’s some A grade boomer bs. Jimi was one of a kind but there’s plenty of great modern music…

[@chasescanlon6488]

I’m one of those kids these days that longs for living in the old days. 24 but feel like an old man at hesrt

[@Schmiddelwutz2000]

The kids can listen to Jimi if they want to. Some even do so. However, my parents who were in their 20s when Jimi was performing do not know this song.

[@johndrowe5281]

Andy reminds me of an old band mate, A-list session man in Nashville: JT Corenflos. (I miss him dearly - he knew when and what to play instinctively. And, he always had the touch of “flash and fairy-dust” that pushed the boundaries of a song with care and love …😢❤) . Keep on making me cry, Mr Timmons, and try your best to hang on to your persona, as that is what comes out of your guitar 🫶✌️♾️. 🎸👨🏼‍⚕️🎸

[@denismguitar1552]

Thanks for posting this! This is just crazy good ear candy!

[@sauravdagaSDaga1984]

Andy covers it in his own style, without losing the soul of the original.. 👍👍👍👍

[@67goldtops]

Simply sublime playing. My favorite moment was when Andy, as Hendrix often did during live performances, referenced the Beatles in his solo at the 4:58 mark where he offered just a sprinkler of the the Beatles "I Feel Fine" melody.

[@RESapp-nt9pi]

Thank you for this awesome presentation!

[@captainshivers]

Well worth it. Watch all the way!

[@donfrench2646]

That was one badass concert! Both those guys are amazing.

[@ctusser]

Don French, is that Travis Larsen playing with him?

[@TravisLarsonBand]

@@ctusser Yes, this was an Andy Timmons/Travis Larson Band tour. Jennifer Young playing bass for both bands. Rob Avsharian and Dale Moooon! on drums...

[@ctusser]

TravisLarsonBand, Honored you took the time to reply. I saw you guys in Seattle when you toured with Aristocrats. You guys are awesome, and tour with top players. Would love to see you again if you come this way in the future.

[@claytonst.pierre2256]

Good version.Must have been very cool in a small club setting! A really stunning version people may want to check out was a Clapton / Winwood concert tribute to Hendrix not too long after Jimi's death. Great song with many great covers.

[@enricopallazzo2987]

Wow. I am never not intensely moved by Andy. Some real magic with this cat.

[@waltermanus]

Those two play SO beautifully together. The entire BAND sounds awesome!!!👍👍

[@haihechina]

how great is this guy. I can hear Andy Powell from Wishbone Ash in his style, anybody else?

[@andymccracken4046]

Yes, but I think its mainly the effect of having two lead guitars. I saw Wishbone Ash a few times playing small gigs in Watford in the early 70s.

[@trailrunner919]

Definitely one of the best covers I've ever seen!!!

[@mommabear6652]

Yeah

[@notibutthespicegirls9372]

Only Andy could make line 6 sound this good!

[@mattflickinger8151]

Not I, but the Spice Girls line 6 where? Not his

[@mommabear6652]

Man I love it! Thank you for this! God Bless & Love to All

[@Artty-fl8ul]

Beautiful.

[@ekwah5821]

Awesome! Two of my absolute favorite guitarists jamming together on a beautiful Hendrix tune. Gotta love that! I've never had the pleasure of seeing Andy live in person, but I've seen Travis twice now and spoke with him and his bandmates both times. Wonderfully chill, down to earth folks, great musicians, and so inspiring!

[@CarnivoreguyScott]

It’s a very nice take on the song unique and tasteful. I love Jeff Beck‘s version with his drummer singing I love Clapton doing it with Sheryl Crow and Dave Sanborn and I think my all-time favorite is Steve Lukather doing it on his 59 burst and singing it at the Les Paul 50th anniversary I believe ? Anyway kudos to all these players paying homage to one of the most beautiful songs ever written in my opinion.

[@markreimer2622]

I wish I was there! !!

[@TBird5790]

I notice he uses ONE guitar in all his concerts. Now that is impressive.

[@Artty-fl8ul]

I heard Jimmy Page say he only owns four or five electric guitars.

[@bymicromize]

Why is that impressive exactly?

[@renwickconolly2839]

Such beautiful phrasing and note choices..

What a creative, sweet and poetic mind Jimi had....

[@mikeatl4953]

Travis has come along way, now up there playing with AT. Great.

[@mikeatl4953]

And he sings too, incredible talent is an understatement when it come to AT.

[@elliemarquez4306]

Omg, this is fucking AMAZING!!!!

[@MrJviner1]

Holy Shit!!! Most of the time the videos with headers saying "best version" or something to that effect usually suck. But, in this case header says "most amazing version" and it's all but an understatement. The virtuosity of Andy Timmons is breathtaking. And, the segment from about 4:19-5:02 come on now you're just showing off lol Fucking awesome. What a treat thank you Brad Thornton for posting.

[@icu469]

That was different. Pretty kewl.

Pity that the sound is so poor, that’s the problem with this sort of recording. I’m sure it was a great experience live.

[@sebastianfigueroa1351]

Try head phones sounds amazing

[@danerobbable]

SRV's version as an extension off the original is much better. Just as delicate. That Hendrix didn't 'finish' it left a lot up to the imagination of those who'd add to it. Versions by Hiram Bullock, Stanley Jordan and others...

[@bobbyphilpot5251]

The chromatic stuff was unexpected. I like surprises. That’s always good. Btw Danger Danger? Hahahaha

[@mnurdiansyah2510]

I don't know why but I heard Steve Morse's sound clearly

[@MatthiasBand2011]

Not the greatest singer yet one of the best guitar players.

[@ericraymond3734]

I've heard him sing better covering this same track. I think he was having an off night. Mind you, he's not a great singer. But he's more competent than he sounds here.

[@michaeloconnor6333]

And he's very humble about that, self-deprecating quite a bit about his own singing. Similar to how Eric Johnson talks about his own singing during his concerts. His competency is through the roof.

[@randybryant1141]

Andy’s singing wasn’t bad.... but one does not go to hear Andy sing... you go to hear him play...of which he is one of the finest electric guitar players on the planet.... ever!

[@haraldarnesen6814]

I didn't know these two great players, I will certainly look up more of what they have done. HOWEVER - they don't bring anything new to this masterpiece. It's a first-class performance, but any guitarist playing this is going to be compared to the original master. Clapton did a great version with the Dominoes, but the original rules!

[@josephmonaco4503]

I love Phil X , But between his band and this one, I haven't heard so many people Butcher Jimi's song "Little Wing" in my life. If you want to hear a GREAT RENDITION of it...Go Listen to Steve Vai...Live at Astoria London and listen to something that would have made the hair on Jimi's arms stand up and gave him the chills , as it did me..

[@jared8324]

How could he butcher this when he did it better than jimi?

[@EricCPOP]

Not a bad interpretation of the song. I loved how they did their own interpretation of the song rather than making it a carbon copy. Good cover but SRV is King of this song as much as Jimi was the pioneer of this song SRV added to it and gave it life. I'd think that most people who cover Little Wing are emulating SRV emulating Jimi rather than just the latter.

[@ernestathari3441]

Agreed, once u listen to srv version it will stuck and never leave your brain.. To me SRV is untouchable, the rest just follow

[@markhinrichs2085]

For me, a bit overdone with the Leslie effect... Fine rendition.. good love..

[@valebliz]

So much boring boomerism in this comment section dear god.

[@drewmiller3462]

Hendrix did the most amazing version, nothing unique about this version other than piano.

[@chasescanlon6488]

??? This is completely different from Hendrix version. It’s 6 minutes longer. Way more notes. It’s even longer then Stevie ray vaughns version, from a guitarists standpoint, Stevie ray Vaughn literally OWNS that song. Hendrix sang some lyrics and killed it in his own way. Andy is doing the same thing here, acknowledging the greats while making it his own

[@terrycantone7218]

Not even close to Jeff Becks version or Jimis original

[@RNicolasRuvalcaba]

Funny how he sings the wrong lyrics so confidently.

[@bobbyphilpot5251]

Most amazing? They’re good, but you can’t beat the original. Then there’s SRV. Cmon? There’s a lack of soul. But it was good, just not the best!

[@SuperHotrod4]

That piano solo was completely unnecessary. IIt didn’t add to the performance,

[@minisurfbanana]

[@dalexdalex]

This is NOT "Little wings", but a weak copy!

[@richardmerget]

Der Chorus Effekt hat in dem Song nichts zu suchen... sorry Simon Mc Bride macht dss besser, zugegeben in einer Studio Version. Timmons ist ein riesen Gitarrist keine Frage, aber nicht jeder kann alles...ausser Guthrie.....

[@martinroulet2499]

jajaja que paja escuchar esto, se levanta jimi de la tumba y les pega un tiro en la cabeza a cada uno. destruyeron el tema da asco.

[@jsebsteelguitar]

Good version. Most amazing? Huumm... Not sure at all!!! There is the Hendrix one, the first and the most beautyful. And there is the SRV one, the Clapton one, the Monte Montgomery one, ...

[@toddvandell85]

Click bait. This is all right. Stevie Ray Vaughan's cover version is far and away truly the most amazing cover. This isn't even in SRV's league. I admire that SRV did an instrumental version. It's hard for anyone to sing it as well as Jimi did, as is very evident here. Stevie only needed himself to own this song. Even with two guitars here? Not even close. Nice try guys. Not the most amazing. The backing band isn't even in Double Trouble's league either.

[@ZekeMan62]

Concur.

[@martinroulet2499]

Great playing, but Stevie Ray Vaughan owns this song.

[@torus186]

Stevie Ray Vaughan is way way better, absolutely no contest.

[@stixnfeet7818]

This was a very special performance. Bravo! Steve Lukather covers this justly.

[@adrianmiller1971]

Note to channel owner: NEVER put "most amazing version" for any piece of music. Its subjective, and not your job to tell others whats great, let them enjoy and decide for themselves. Very much over the "most amazing" tag being overused every 30 seconds on youtube. It needs to die.....
