This has to be the most talented musicians on this planet. Hendrix never even played this song live and its not a joke. This is far more than a cover folks, its more of a extension of what Jimi was doing. Randy is one of the greatest guitarist on this planet bar none. The difficulty of what he is doing is EXTREME. I have played guitar for years and consider myself quite good, but this is something else completely. The level of musicianship by all of the members is simply unparalled. I hope others appreciate this level of expertise as much as i do.

[@willbaro5879]

tru enough, never saw hendrix play the guitar with his boot like that

[@cecilgspringfieldjr.5895]

I strongly agree,my man. Freedom ensued. Randy did get a "Oscar" for the movie soundtrack of "Apocalypse Now"....he is song. At some point he realized Jimi was was all about going some place colorful ,sound scapes,dandy fashion style,this is not hippie music,to me me it feels like a decadent voodoo shamans idealogy becoming medicine for our tried souls... Dr. Randy Hansen pH.D,in loud proud groovy soul music,don't get started. I take my leave now. ☮️

[@markrago7217]

I do

[@markrago7217]

@@cecilgspringfieldjr.5895 I was bummed out, no Hendrix. But this Ramdy dude was actually a nice, unexpected consolation prize. I've never heard of this guy til now! This dude and the band are great here

[@adaptiveagile]

He is no doubt a force.

[@Marshall-uy2dv]

Randy is absolutely the best impersonator of a performer anywhere ever! From what I've researched about him he has been doing Hendrix since 1975! I have an old Guitar Player magazine where Eddie Van Halen Raves about Randy's playing which is a very tall compliment! I guess they were also friends back in the 70s!

[@kevincupcake24]

Love this band - such talented musicians

[@ivorevans13]

I would have commented sooner but I was still picking my jaw up off the floor. Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davidarchibald3755]

Jimi is my all time favorite and I play everyday for the last 42 years and I gotta say Randy is phenomenal. So truly dedicated to carrying the flame of the master

[@brewtality_]

Haha, he sounds like Jimi, hilarious! Why have they deleted all the gems of hendrix from youtube :(

[@poboypowder7567]

Brewtality lil late but, the Hendrix estate is a Big ol retard and they take anything with his name on it or with his music and shut it down.

[@cosmicman621]

8minute ..it would be nice to just click on y tube vids of jimi...I own all the. Rec and vids...but it means that it’s not at my finger tips,etc...just put it up..lots of kids can’t afford the vids and rec...so the time goes by and they don’t get to see and hear essential Hendrix....Hendrix is a Treasure of ALL HUMANITY...his art should be free to all mankind to dig.FREE@a!!! Randy,beautiful as always.Bright Moments from Australia.

[@adaptiveagile]

@@cosmicman621 So true. I think of Jimi every day. Crazy; the guy was in his freaking 20s.

Another Underrated Hendrix song . Thanks Randy for Jamming this Awesome tune Live your The best

[@Agarbeau]

Thanks Randy. Shame on Warner Bros:Reprise for not releasing the Hendrix recording of this super tripping piece. It is a total wonder. Hendrix can play for some strange times so remember the next time your touring space.

[@Foontflaky]

I`ts nice to see this crew tearing it up and laying it down ,Randy, Ufo and Manni are very tight. I wish they would come back to the States and play Fort Collins. I saw Randy Hansen Band back in the early 80`s and they just ripped, what energy and good vibes they bring.

[@TommiKoros]

A masterpiece of art !

[@LANDSEAAIRCANADA]

Best heard loud This is another reason The RHB are without a doubt a legendary powerhouse trio Outstanding ! Big Thanks

[@merman93]

Growing up, I had the Import Smash Hits album and this track was played over and over through my Koss Pro AAA headphones. Love it. The main wah wah riff was used in Hulk Hogan’s NWO entrance theme, along with other Hendrix riffs. The NWO theme would be a perfect track for The RHB to play, at least in the States. I love all the vids you post, keep them coming.

[@franciscothomazini4831]

Sensational! Hendrix's work not only survives as it is alive and walking forward !!

[@fabiocollina]

STP with LSD ahaha (as one reads the capital letters of the song's title). Great performance

Hey, I did not know Jimi was still alive! Keep up the good work!

[@markrago7217]

How was I not aware of this dude? Totally freaking cool. He is a ringer for Hendrix! The mannerisms, the guitar technique, the voice.... This isnt like a run of the mill Elvis impersonator thing (Andy Kauffman did Elvis LOL Jim Carrey impersonated Kauffman inpersonating Elvis LOL This dude has an almost identical Hendrix aura around him, and his fingers and voice are practically clones. There was only one Jimi, but there is also only one Randy, and it apoears he has been carrying on the legacy in a professional, passionate manner. The band sounds pretty good too! Keep up the great work. Come to Pittsburgh next year, I guarantee I could round up at least 100 people who would love this. Im sure you probably have heard that one plenty of times though.😶 At any rate, for what its worth, I think that was awesome.

[@ColonelBummleigh]

Outstanding skills The experience have been bettered.

[@ahimmler2317]

Blame the evil Hendrix copyright owners!

[@jimbradshaw4]

Mate, this was excellent and a worthy tribute but "bettered"???? I take it you never saw the Experience play for real. Still, I really enjoyed the vid. Thanks to the uploader!

[@ufowalter]

We´ve played in Vancouver, Commodore Ballroom, great venue. Well, it´s always up to the requests. I guess we need a booker for Canada. If you have any suggestions, our manager Kevin Fillo is available on our randyhansen.com

[@kurtmax]

Excellent. I've been waiting to hear a live version of this song since 1974! 50 years. So thank you. BTW what's the name of that guitar scale being played at 3:15? I just wish there was more blistering shred. But... Thanks.

[@ufowalter]

I agree. We had to keep it short, since Randys guitar went totally out of tune during this opening song.

[@tedcabana]

[@NovaDetour]

Randy Hansen's arrangement of 'STP with LSD' here is way different from Jimi's 45 rpm - and is better overall. Cooler intro chords, riffs, transitions, etc. But the changed lyrics? Can't quite make them out. Anyone get them down? ThX much !

[@tamaracolbert1435]

Yes he sounds just like Hendrix guitar and all but did he change the lyrics a little,either way he done a phenomenal job,Iam not knocking him ~Duane ~

[@princebonnie1357]

Can not find the original track by Jimi on youtube for the life of me. Copyright reasons by the looks, so thanks to this dedicated tribute act of Hendrix I can hear this hard to obtain track. ~ I really needed to hear this, as I was just watching a science doco on The Milky Way galaxy : mindblowing stuff ~ Jimi was calling me aboard the Milky Way Express obviously 💫🌌

[@Williamottelucas]

Jimi made at least one guy very happy, penning this tune.

[@StGeorge257]

Yes good musicians,but where can I find the original?

[@GV213]

I just found out today, Feb 15th 2021 parts of the song were used for the nwo theme song

[@Bricky_Rock]

He plays a left handed guitar on the right, Jimi Hendrix played a right handed guitar on the left. Funny Idea! (Daniel M. from Bricky Rock)

Randy really is left-handed, but learned playing on a right-handed guitar.

Jimi is my favorite musician of all time. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think I prefer Randy’s version here. Wow.

[@KevinTambling]

When you listen to enough of hendrix's actual live recordings, you could appreciate how raw and unrefined some of them are. Randy has managed to take Hendrix's music and refine it, taking advantage of today's technology, guitar technicians and excellent bandmates. Not to mention decades more exposure to the music than Jimi Hendrix had himself.

[@izzyvandoren]

I wanna know what it’s was u we’re doing with the guitar holy shit. Nah but for real though:) tell me

[@MrDino1953]

Vocals a little hard to hear, but did he leave out the lines about "butterfly roller skates" and "watch out for that door, don't open that door"? Hendrix was so funny when he chose to be.
