Any serious Hendrix fan will tell you just how good a performance this is by Randy because he captures all those little nuances in Jimi's playing almost note perfectly. It amuses me somewhat that some people are criticizing him for producing a near flawless copy of the fillmore version, do you have any idea how hard that still is to achieve in an AUTHENTIC fashion with the FEEL of Jimi's playing? If he was falling short in some way then it would likely be the opposite, "well he's good, but he can't do it just like Jimi". Guys give the man some credit where it's due. There are numerous performances of Jimi's songs on youtube by very highly regarded guitar players and they never come near to what Randy does. He is the closest thing that you are going to get to the real deal while he is still around.

The tone is great, the playing is on fucking point, all those little noises, dynamics, all the subtle nuances in vibrato and bending that Jimi had, the energy, just perfect. The dude is truly a scholar of Hendrix, can't even imagine how much time he spent studying his playing.

+james cava It;s not note for note, not even Randy wants to go THAT far. Randy plays the majority of the song faithfully right, it's amazing really, how much work Randy has done to capture most of Hendrix's phrasing. There simply will never be a more realistic guy to cover Hendrix, Randy is as good as will ever get without getting TOO creepy and trying to play exactly the same way as each Hendrix LIVE version goes. Jimi played machine gun different every night, Randy has to mainly play the classic version, that;s what the fans want to hear, I bet Randy could really go to town in his own way, but its not really what he is up there to do.

+Carat Cranker Yeah, i know what you mean about this being the "Standard" version but his ( Jimi ) Isle of Wight rendition of Machine Gun is totally colossal, his phrasing is completely devastating IMHO, Peace.

This is actually mind bending. It’s one thing his guitar playing sounding so eerily similar to Jimi (and I don’t mean that to in anyway take away form the mans skill and brilliance in his own right) but that voice as well! So similar to jimi it’s crazy. He should get more credit. I just found this but have been playing it none stop. From one guitar player to another I can not express how good I think this shit is! Wow!

Christopher Mayer I would have to agree with you. If you watch him play he plays with a lot of respect to Jimi. I'm a big Hendrix fan from the first time I hear him play. I do give Randy Hansen his props. But when you get down to it he isn't Jimi Hendrix. if it wasn't for Jimi putting out the songs. Randy Hansen wouldn't have anything to play.

I have played in bands for around 30 years in the style of SRV, Hendrix, Robin Trower, Rory Gallagher and the like. Out of all the guitar players i have seen and heard nobody comes close to capturing the soul, vibe, feel, and tone of Hendrix and much more than the Randy Hansen band. Randy doesn't just play the same notes but also takes it to an even higher level that Hendrix could have gone to had he lived. Where some players try to overshred playing 1000 notes a second to Hendrix, Randy keeps it real and never loses the soul of Jimi.

It got ingrained into my bones. This is like listening to Jimi, God rest his soul. This video is going into my favorites to listen to again and again. I HAVE to see these guys LIVE!!

He was dressed in regular clothes but an hour later he was in full valour and blew us away. He’s been doing this since the 1970s and he actually plays Jimi as good or better. I know it’s playing someone else’s music but he has perfected it. This version is something great. A great musician playing the music of a legend

I saw Jimi play live 3 times, and I met him at a club where he was hanging out with Buddy Miles, long before there was a Band of Gypsies. I worshipped Jimi, and I have to say that it is downright eerie how this performance brings it all back. I have no problem with covers, as long as they are done well and respectfully. This is probably the best cover of a Hendrix song that I have heard. If I close my eyes I could believe that I was 15 years old again, sitting in the front row right in front of Jimi, just as I did at Hunter College on March 2, 1968! Right on, Randy Hansen and Band. You nailed it!

This is my Nth time watching this, and RH's first solo, from Jimi's famous, piercing cry to the universe at about 3:40 to some 3 minutes later, is some of the most inspired playing ever, regardless of genre. I don't care that Randy's mimicing Jimi, the heart & FEEL that RH injects into his playing can't be taught. Just a pure joy to listen to.
