[@johnthorburn3712]

Fantastic, never thought I'd hear and see a live performance of such perfection ... thanks Randy. I'm 70 and still love Jimis music

[@lefujyou]

This was incredible absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥💗❤️✨

[@iambenslater]

Randy and the band were incredible…it was a real moment.

[@lefujyou]

@@iambenslater I know this music and what he did was scary sometimes because it sounded like jimi sometimes 😳😯☮️❤️🔥✨

[@Authorityoneverything]

Randy completely blows my mind I along with the crowd were speechless at the end i never have heard anyone play jimi hendrix songs and and sound correct Randy not only has the ability to play hendrix right but takes us to the next step and blasts into outerspace only the man himself could until Randy he truly is a medicine man because he is channeling jimi

[@62426637]

This is what Hendrix didn't live long enough to figure out: how to deliver it all onstage.

[@lightsone2]

Damn near to Jimi's album version. Amazing use of tech.

[@iambenslater]

Incredible isn’t it.

[@JodyBreezethc]

This guy Hansen is the best Hendrix sound alike I've heard.

[@bobcompin2207]

Randy is the man 😀

[@reverb67]

if you cover you can go 2 ways; true to the original or youré own version. True to the original takes guts if youré covering the best. Hansen nails it; sound, intensity, technique, feel, improv, the works; inmense respect !!!

[@ianking8574]

Wow -- beautiful!!! As far as I know, even Hendrix himself never tried playing this one live. Nobody does it better!

[@rodgerarne1437]

I have read that Jimi never performed this song live, and I don't believe I have ever seen a clip of him doing it either over all the years I have been searching and watching Jimi's videos. An amazing performance Randy. Saw a performance you and the band did in Brisbane a few years ago. Took my daughter who was brought up on Jimi's music and similar. She could not believe how great you are and how much you sound like him.

[@mikebloggs4573]

Unreal, Randy rocks. Please come back to Australia 🇦🇺

[@Authorityoneverything]

I can hear Atlantis full of cheer...

[@dozerblade]

this track has been making the hair on my back and arms stand up since I first heard it when I was 14 so that is 54 years, these guys are spot on !

[@iambenslater]

ufowalter Oh, and I am sure you would all be welcome back any time 👍🏾

[@MrDoctorsimm]

Every time I listen to Randy and his band I dream like I was on Jimi’s presence! It sounds perfect, just as the Jimi’s records. Hopefully someday I will be at those shows (living in South America makes it difficult but not impossible)!

[@necromaniack7089]

Hooray, I awake from yesterday Alive but the war is here to stay So my love, Katherina and me Decide to take our last walk Through the noise to the sea Not to die but to be reborn Away from a life so battered and torn Forever, forever Oh, say can you see, it's really such a mess Every inch of earth is a fighting nest Giant pencil and lipstick tube-shaped things Continue to rain and cause screaming pain And the Arctic stains From silver blue to bloody red As our feet find the sand and the sea Is straight ahead, straight up ahead Well, it's too bad, that our friends can't be with us today Well, that's too bad "The machine that we built would never save us" That's what they say (That's why they ain't coming with us today) And they also said "It's impossible for man to live and breathe underwater forever" Was their main complaint (Yeah) And they also threw this in my face, they said: "Anyway, you know good and well It would be beyond the will of God And the grace of the King" Grace of the King, yeah, yeah So my darling and I make love in the sand To salute the last moment ever on dry land Our machine has done its work, played its part well Without a scratch on our bodies and we bid it farewell Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile Before our heads go under, we take a last look At the killing noise of the out of style The out of style, out of style So down and down and down and down And down and down we go Hurry, my darling, we mustn't be late for the show Neptune champion games to an aqua world is so very dear Right this way, smiles a mermaid I can hear Atlantis full of cheer Atlantis full of cheer I can hear Atlantis full of cheer

[@oxfuzz]
