Ben Harper - Voodoo Child

[@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 !

[@rinomomorris5098]

Closest thing to Hendrix our lifetime will ever fucking know.

[@onebadasstinter]

His conviction is unmatchable..

[@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.

[@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 💗

[@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.

[@macabre74]

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

[@dude19288]

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

[@tauntG]

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

[@mel0dyism]

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

[@nickj116]

This never gets old.

[@corgiman23]

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

[@daineXx]

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

[@kendrix66]

Kashmir thrown in the middle that was cool!

[@warritz]

semplicemente impressionante!!!!!!!!

[@jdogzyo]

His slide work is pretty badass!

[@GOAT9876]

kashmir riff during the middle of the song is sick

[@GabrielCalderonbiking]

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

[@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. |,,/

[@goldeneaglevideo]

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

[@southroncross]

Excellent video. Thanks for posting this.

[@LuaZouk]

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

[@goldeneaglevideo]

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

[@MarkyMark4341]

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

[@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.

[@nicolascharles27]

Ce mec est un génie.

[@yoganesha]

Simplemente fantástico ❤

[@sjljhb]

Holy shit. 11 out of 10 right there.

[@wherareI]

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

[@onebadasstinter]

wow that was awesome....

[@AtomicMushroom1]

génial!!!!! j'adore ben harper

[@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

[@ahdrx]

Ben is da Man!

[@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

[@bogesk]

Man oh man, hell that was good!

[@girjjk56]

amazing Ben!

[@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^^

[@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

[@sailentshadow]

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

[@jrouby]

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

[@scottwhaley4585]

thank you KM

[@christinademitriou2959]

[@Iago41]

[@Petrucha00]

Best of the best

[@linemikkelsen9316]

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

[@TheEthio13]

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

[@rise54321]

I was at this show!!!!

[@joshythehand2960]

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

[@vivalakink]

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

[@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

[@cilmarfaria4055]

Fantástico

[@musician4life451]

Great cover. A little bit of Kashmir thrown in.

[@thesurveyman1]

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

[@loudspeaker003]

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

[@graemstevens]

Awesome!

[@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.

[@simonepelico9637]

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

[@bcdcorinthiano]

Nostalgic!

[@guidoh2710]

Sik!!! i like your Style

[@stefanoiltosko]

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

[@awoosoul]

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

[@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

[@gutovers]

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

[@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.

[@MijuRehman]

GOOD NICE TUNE

[@fenderdeluxe2006]

very nice

[@gessie]

Gotta love the percussion guy.

[@youcanfoolmeonce]

I am discovering Jimi every day!

[@pnbibbins]

Bad-ass jam!

[@Recordgrooves]

Ben at his best.

[@stevezinninger1121]

I miss juan. Love to juan. Take care!

[@jeromesupermensch]

the Best!!

[@troglodave]

Agreed. A major oversight, IMHO.

[@nickj116]

Yep. Me too.

[@nickmenard6477]

Who still comes here in 2019? I do weekly. Part of my life now loooollloollolo lol

[@MouradFish]

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

[@LloydMassett]

Nice 1 Maan :)

[@hopelizardfaithfull4546]

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

[@littlehendryx]

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

[@gveezy21]

I can dig it!

[@Poxican]

Anyone know what kind of tuning he uses on this? Bloody brilliant player.

[@hlvBROWNboy]

hes always got a poppin bassline

[@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.

[@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

[@raptorpaw]

Nice!

[@nickj116]

Would love to get the HD video of this. Can't find it anywhere online.

[@pedrosousa7669]

fucking awesome

[@restinpeacejimi]

C'MON BEN, HENDRIX WROTE 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.

[@Veedle90]

what guitar is that? Is it the same as playing regular slide guitar or is it in a totally different tuning with different strings?

[@Goatie65]

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

[@MatsGFK]

Insane:)

[@74doomtrooper]

Jimi and SRV would love 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
