Randy Hansen Live in Solingen - Little Wing

Recorded live in Cobra in Solingen on 28th of October.

[@stlrockn]

NOBODY does the Jimi thing better than Randy

[@Alun49]

I love the fact that he channels Hendrix's style and then is inventive with it. This is a version of Little Wing that Hendrix might have played himself.

[@carlosantaniello]

When I listen to Randy playing Jimi's music, I feel happy that somebody can still love beauty as Randy can.

[@giuliolinuz]

Buona la prima Carlo!!! :)

[@freedom4843]

Randy is such a great player. He captures the Hendrix guitar and vocal sound so well but adds something of himself and something new every time. His tone on this recording was beautiful and he is such a master musician it looks effortless and fun for him. Awesome. Thank you Randy.

[@ewillis3272]

There will never be another Jimi .. But this cat is awesome !!!

[@keithmccaslyn2527]

Nailed it and agreed. Randy does an awesome job of honoring Jimi and his music so beautifully. Play on Jimi ,Play on Randy...and well Mitch Mitchell,Noel,Billy Cox...blah blah woof woof!:-)

[@MBJanus]

He sounds gentle and peaceful

[@petermeertens688]

But this comes very close

[@lagarthavikings5287]

Cat huh 😅

[@jperryfan]

Randy plays Jimi's music with passion and from the Heart and I for one appreciate the commitment to Jimi's music. Long Live Randy Hansen!

[@irvinmartin4936]

Jimi would be proud of Randy!

[@daves4645]

No he wouldn't. He would tell him to do his own thing.

[@DavidB-vk8ei]

Randy and his wife are so awsome. I watched him at a small studio in seatac wa. He saw me watching him and gave me a five minute lesson while on break, he showed up with a tiny little amp and blew everyone away. Randy is the real deal baby!

[@8kenjacob]

It takes a phenomenal talent to be able to play like that. He uses the structure of Jimi's music to inspire his own enormous creativity and musical brilliance, unique in its own right. A wonderful achievement!

[@athaydesilva9675]

Comprei o Lp, The Smash Hits, por tê-lo ouvido na véspera com The experience, após um LSD e mudou todos meus conceitos musicais, Jimmy Hendrix e The expirience eram Surreais, inegualáveis. FANTÁSTICOS!!!

[@BobbyWallisch]

Randy is such a wonderful person and player. What a great gift, this man, who is a great musician on his own, gives all his talent and knowledge to keep Jimi's music alive.

[@flagemdown66]

That's how Jimi did it, that's how Randy does it now... this is amazing, I knew he was really good, but I didn't know he was this good... damn.

[@precbsfender]

I wonder if Randy was ever given access to the original tapes from Olympic Studios and the little wing rough cuts off Axis Bold As Love? I know that Randy has very powerful music connections. But I also heard Jimi lost one the master tapes reels of side one of Axis and Eddie Kramer said Jimi left them at a London Night club. But Jimi later denied those claims by Kramer and said they were stolen from his London flat but Kramer also said Jimi had change his story several times.

[@ianking8574]

It's literally impossible to do a better job of a Hendrix cover. Absolutely beautiful!!!

[@PaulTrimbleKangenWater]

Saw Randy with Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding at the Whisky a Go Go in I think '81 or 2 with a girl i was dating who got me into the green room up stairs. this was long before they remodeled the place....oh the history in that room. Ended up with a cassette recording from the mixer that night and a roll of 35mm stills I took. I know there are the purists who would say what ever they would but of all the Hendrix covers or I should say tribute bands, Randy Hanson by far exceeds the requirements to be able to just squint a little and see Jimi

[@colderwar]

That's a hell of a story. I usually don't really like Hendrix covers, but Randy Hansen plays and sings so like Jimi it's scary.

[@rafaelzengo5534]

This guy is incredible. Cool energy. Great playing.

[@goofoomoo]

never heard a better cover!

[@jackagain8346]

Until now.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2eqZmZ4gsyondE

[@giannigambettavianna5429]

@@jackagain8346 I listen at the steve's cover: great tecnique, but for me Randy's one has much hearth

[@lisaayers1975]

I agree.I like this version better than SRV and I love SRV.SRV's has to much Texas twang from the pickups for me.jmho

[@petermeertens688]

Even better than Jimi’s play (I am sorry but it is true , I am the most hardend jimi fan but what is true is true , great play Randy unbelievable , and the voice is even identical !!!!!! 👍❤️💛💚✌️

[@shoresam8766]

ALMOST, NO, BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES. AWESOME WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT

[@spankystrat49]

I agree Jimi would be proud

[@billyzoom1]

That's some beautiful playing. I'd heard of this guy for years, but never heard him play. What a monster.

[@jeffharding7499]

wow this is so so close to jimi version...its scary...this is precious..thanks guys

[@tacomadc]

Yes, Randy sings Hendrix as well as he plays him. Hats off Randy! Thanks man.

[@robertgallagher-gx1qb]

Taken back, just taken back... Thank You Randy, Sincerely Thank You. Spot on. Jimmy would approve no doubt whatsoever. Speechless.

[@carlpickle4182]

You ROCK Randy..I love Jimi too since 1966...!!!

[@Riverdeepnwide]

Beautiful! I'm going straightaway to look up Randy's schedule.

[@matthewmorgan7106]

outstanding ! never gets old

[@cheesefrogsnail]

This guy has been blazed by Hendrix magic, he's got the right feeling for this kind of music for sure!

[@Nightingale1887]

Amazing. So much feeling.

[@petermeertens688]

This is heavenly music Jimi lives forever and Randy too 👍❤️💛💚✌️

[@ascp67]

Brilliant!! The whole Band have this down.Please come to Australia!

[@pulsepro88]

Jimi, has got to live in you Randy - That was sooo inspiring and true to form it gave me chills just to see this. Rock On Randy - Rock On...!

[@richyrich5049]

This man is not playing a strait cover, but it sounds so believable. Randy Hansen creeps me out.

[@guerito7571]

When I listen to Randy play Jimi's music it's so close. Almost like hearing bootlegs or just unearthed live performances. He's amazing. I enjoy it a lot.

[@thbluespro]

I'm just now hearing these guys for the first time, being a huge Hendrix fan, I must say that I'm blown away. Simply beautiful, everybody covers Hendrix, but Randy captures his essence, and recreates the magic that made Jimi who he was. Keep it up guys, I'll be listening for sure!

[@florianwolf9380]

One of Jimi's best pieces of music, played beautifully by Randy - just the right mix of first tenderness and empathy, lateron power and bite, coming together in a truly iconic piece of music.

[@keiranbradley3222]

listen i know randy is good but what uv got to realize is that randy has had to do this for a few decades at least to get this close, JIMI done it in the space of 4 years when u think about the music that literally poured out of him it's truly mind blowing but i do like what randy does, how could u not, u can tell Jimi's music touched him deeply just like us all, peace, fly on randy !

[@joevalenzuela9443]

I remember we got ripped off the night Deep Purple supposed to play at Long Beach Arena back in 1978. I think Richie Blackmore was no show, When Deep Purple played but none of the actual members were playing. We started throwing things at them we were about to attack the stage. They only played three songs and left. Then the lights turned down again and now evryone thinks Jimi Hendrix came back to life. But then Randy Hansen by the third song everyone calmed down he saved the night. Thanks Randy, I know you remember that.

[@vootee1]

Thanks ,Randy for bringing the joy !

[@IsaacVeronneauFamily]

A bit of trivia; Apocalypse Now. In the scene where the US troops drop Acid in the middle of a gun fight, that’s randy doing the sound effects.

[@elmzungu]

I saw him in Houston around '78 or '79. It was a smallish venue and what I remember most (besides his energy) was him running through the aisles while playing.

[@reasonrally6658]

Awesome!! I dig you're renditions..cause you capture the soul of the songs Randy!! I don't think too many guys can get that Hendrix feel that you do..except SRV..and a select few aloha!!

[@lorenaferreira7124]

Cara... nem vou mais falar nada! Real. Já ganhou meu respeito em 3 músicas que já ouvi.

[@beoz658]

wow I saw RH at the Moonlight shopping center in Santa Clara Ca. about 1980 in a movie theater he was amzing

[@loiscyphre]

randy you are a god

[@geepcj2a]

Thanks Randy!

[@nycroland1]

Fucking Randy Hansen is AWSOME! I can't believe, as a musician, that i'm just now becoming aware of how fucking great this guy is. My friends and i argue the best of the best with all the usual characters and this guy never came about, not once, bet this...He is in my TOP 5.

[@tjmeade]

Gotta say, I haven't hear anyone come this close to "real" Hendrix. Randy is really inside the heart and mind of Jimmy.

[@harryroseman818]

Thank you, thank you Randy. I miss him so much. Thank you.

[@C_G_1962]

The best interpretation since Jimi. Great Randy! Very deep beautiful work !

[@arnoldoalvear2548]

I absolutely NEED that tone

[@MrRickkeena]

Randy has a style that's a good bit less chaotic than Jimi's, much more thought out in a jazzy style. I think that's what Jimi was leaning toward right before he died.

[@Chrispy1976]

Simply beautiful, a cover Jimi could dig.

[@SpaceAgeTech1]

Rich Firyn 2 years ago in reply to Paul Kinzelman saw him do the same thing i think in 1975 in tempe arizona playing purple haze. there were about 300 of us in the bar and he blew our minds, completely... Rich , I saw all 3 shows there "Doolies" in 75 ,,,Our jaws all hit the floor from the moment he rose from the Purple Fog on stage with the Blown-Out Marshall Stack visual ... I reviewed your KZbin pages and we are Brothers from a different Mother for sure ...

[@cryptosquirrel5667]

Randy Hansen. What can you say, this cat is not a copy of Jimi, he is an extension of Jimi.

[@petermeertens688]

Best covered piece ever

[@mj-cw2oo]

Used to go see Randy in the late 70's in small clubs in SF. Great shows

[@strings191]

one of the baddest guitarist

[@andrewpi7685]

best version of little wing i've ever heard outside the original on Axis: Bold As Love...

[@littlebeaux-peep4999]

When I grow up, I wanna be JUST like Randy!

[@debbieestensen679]

Meet Randy in 78 . Good friends

[@mgbro3311]

wow the ending on that just felt like an amazing feeling like a beautiful embrace.

[@aikidoisthebombyeah]

Randy may not have written these songs... but he's been playing these songs longer than Jimi... and he's every bit as amazing as Jimi... God bless the both of them...

[@hobo1ninermike]

The best classic band and lead singer of this time. If you liked Hendrix, you will love Randy.

[@mikericcardo46]

...THE MIRROR OF HENDRIX...THANKS RANDY...AND WHO POSTED THEZ, RITE ON

[@mizskerner2004]

I think Randy might actually “channel” Jimi sometimes. I can’t say for sure tho. I had the privilege to see Randy couple of years ago. Saw him at this killer place called WizDome in L.A. The ceiling a domed projection screen. Announcer came out to start the show and said “Let’s see if we can call on the energy that is Jimi Hendrix to be present tonight.!?” Everyone began chanting Jimi-Jimi-JIMI with an increasing intensity. There was a picture of Jimi on the screen being zoomed in and out as we all chanted. It was was sorta ritualistic, very psychedelic.

[@johnny4blues]

Really amazing performance!! Just gives me the thrills...It is the closest (to Jimi's) you can get, but it also has a vitality of its own. Randy's playing and singing is truly enchanting.

[@richfiryn]

saw him do the same thing i think in 1975 in tempe arizona playing purple haze. there were about 300 of us in the bar and he blew our minds, completely

[@Grant-kj4eq]

Randy rocks !

[@petermeertens688]

NOW AFTER 5 times , IT IS EVEN BETTER THAN JIMI’S ORIGINAL WOW,WOW,WOW

[@ez1dog2]

Ok.So now I'll throw on a Hendrix dvd.

[@plokooned]

Fucking incredible tone and everything!

[@CorbCorbin]

Really love his version. He never does any SRVisms. At least not the signature licks that made Stevie's version his own. Randy gives you an idea of what Hendrix could've been doing, if he'd lived into the birth of all the different modulated effects that the 70s brought. Just having an amp that you don't have to turn up to ten and delay. It's why there were so many songs he didn't do live. Because you couldn't recreate the effects in a live setting(at least not to his satisfaction).

[@Phazur]

Best guy to make that jimi hendrix feel without just copying the piece, he improvises just like jimi. Apparantly he also wrote a song with michael jackson and made music for apocalypse now.

[@Scribe25]

Jim Hendrix spirit is reincarnated in Randy Hansen

[@aturogs1954]

Wish Randy would do "Star-Spangled Banner/Purple Haze/Instrumental" cut from Woodstock. Wil make tears run down my eyes.

[@luizalbertodeoliveira7250]

Ele é incrível muito bom guitarrista, até o jime ia aplaudir.

[@arpipetrovic5240]

Randy sounds in my ears closest to Jimi´s playing. Like he jumped over the bar with reserve, nice vocals too... and the rhythm section is playing for him, and thats good :)

[@SingularVisionProductions]

Great job!

[@dozerblade]

If Randy could only channel Jimi and write some new stuff, that would be the ultimate !

[@roodchiendant8237]

Nickel chrome Randy !

[@artsh123]

божественно, лучший исполнитель музыки джими

[@dick-gs9tb]

I just realized he plays the guitar better with his teeth than I do with a pick.

[@stevejames5584]

That was very original.

[@Quinkermarine]

magnificent, very cool band too...

[@flexas666]

Underrated...

[@carloseugeniocarlos4287]

i feel Jimi hendrix on Randy .THis guy is marvellous.

[@JayTheLane]

Super good. Jimi would very much approve.

[@swh0rd682]

People commenting on just the guitar playing but first thing I hear is the Voice. Jimi was very self conscious about his singing but I have no idea why. He's voice was groovy AF!

[@TheRamExponention]

Amazing !!

[@sheercerebralpower]

beautiful....

[@ralex3697]

Fantastic interpretation

[@kipmurray2291]

Really nice cover!

[@vagnersilva441]

Estilo e pegada no visual jimmy hendrix guitarra fender achei que essa musica era da banda americana skidrow muito bom muito bom very good very good

[@mr.j1400]

He’s the best

[@coupdeclat]

loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@immerrocknroll]

This is right. Besides, he uses a Face Lift by Prescription Electronics (silicon, not germanium!) too. And not to forget the Alesis Microverb III.

[@blueskycrying]

Interesting he is playing a left handed stratocaster strung right handed which is really the better choice than a Hendrix right handed signature stratocaster imo

[@duttangokin1260]

Молодец Randy Повторяет Jimi Hendrix прекрасная игра спасибо!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Avatar7x7]

I think this is better than Stevie Ray ! Tone is impeccable !

[@tomcrosby6332]

very nice

[@iantsangmusic]

i started crying when i saw him play the guitar with his teeth.

[@Riverdeepnwide]

August in Washington state, September at Charlotte NC.

[@kickahaw]

hes been doing this since the 80s

[@luisbarcellos3953]

Esse sabe tocar muito bem...Sem mais comentários.
