Randy Hansen Band - are you experienced ? - Jimi Hendrix

[@richardmoore2067]

Randy…..You are a dream come true for everyone who loved Jimi…….You are his reflection. You are very very special as was Jimi Your style expresses such simplicity……but is so enormously deep ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎸🎸 Thank You

[@aturogs1954]

For many of us who MISSED Hendrix concerts and the person himself, Randy Hansen is a God-send.

[@willg54]

Ed, sorry you weren't able to actually experience a Hendrix concert in person. I saw him back on June 5th, 1970, in Dallas. In all actuality, I don't remember anything of the concert. Well, perhaps a few moments of when he knelt down in front of his guitar and lit it on fire. I was only 15 then, so a lot of time has passed since then and I have forgotten many things. I saw Randy Hansen about 20 years ago, and I was delighted to find him and his band doing excellent renditions of Jimi's songs. Glad that you get to enjoy Randy, who is bringing Hendrix back to life. I just talked to Randy's bass player this morning, and he said they just wrapped up a European tour and are coming to Miami Florida next. Maybe he will tour the United States now, and both of us will have the opportunity to see him. Fingers crossed! ☺️

[@austindonahue]

@@willg54 It is not documented that Hendrix lit his guitar on fire in Dallas. Do you have any proof of this?

[@willg54]

Austin, no physical proof, only what I saw with my own two eyes. I didn't know they documented every single time he lit his guitar on fire. It had become so commonplace for him to do. Thanks for your concern.

[@kingdommusic5456]

there are people who are destined by God to carry on where those who were great and have died left off ~ randy hansen is one of them

[@MeeMee-gz5vp]

I agree.

[@Ppuffdiddleydangdoof]

This is the song that turned me on to Jimi 45 years ago. I never thought I'd see it played at this level. Randy Hansen is a gift to the world.

[@davidmoynihan-r4l]

Almost saw him in 1967 with my older brother but when our father saw the attendees he turned the car around. I was 10. Still disappointed. Randy, however, has made it up. Thank you.

[@Wedget]

I do not understand why Randy has not got more likes for this unbelievable version of this song

[@kaweah41]

cause we all have our minds blown and jaws on the floor for one thing...oh, that's two...

[@awesomejohnnet]

No mere imitator is correct Randy is a legitimate disciple of Hendrix... he put a lot of time and effort and does Jimis songs justice...

[@BenMcGarityMusic]

Toatlly agree. A total love and respect for Jimi's material.

[@phildevore4543]

awesomejohnnet yes he definitely is a student of Jimi

[@phildevore4543]

[@mallong7532]

Greatest tribute to Hendrix ever I swear he’s channeling the real deal.

[@xphobe]

If you notice, he has a left-handed strat and he has strung it upside down so he could play it right-handed. That is attention to detail right there.

[@stigmataji]

That drummer and bass player are freakin' incredible!!!

[@michaelthomas9991]

My God! This might be the most incredible band on the planet! It’s not just an imitation of greatness - it’s perfection incarnated! There are almost not enough adjectives to describe the sounds. I still get chills listening to these awesome musicians. Thanks to this band for such inspiration. Jimi, Noel, and Mitch are applauding above.

[@thomvogan3397]

I'm old enough to have been blessed to see Hendrix live. As a kid I bought his every album and hung on every note. He inspired me to play guitar and I've been trying all my life to nail Hendrix but I know I always fall short. Most guitarists don't even attempt to do Hendrix note for note, they will just do a version of him. Not this guy. He isn't imitating or doing a cover version, when he plays he becomes Jimi Hendrix. It's eerie, even his voice is Jimi. This is why the Hendrix Family have endorsed Randy Hansen to play Jimi's music

[@gmlasam]

Put a pair of head phones on, close your eyes and listen......the soul of Jimi Hendrix is in this man... Jimi has chosen Randy Hansen to carry on!! For those who have not followed and listened to Jimi Hendrix's music for many years, you will not know, but for those who have will know what I'm talking about, specially fellow guitar players.

[@guubagaaba8391]

I cried ,,,,,, absolute beauty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chawk9548]

Watching Randy gives me the strange feeling that Jimi has come back to us. Or that he never really left.

[@josefsreba6702]

Wow - his voice is so spot on to Jimi's its downright creepy, in a good way! And an Randy's amazing guitar tones-perfect.

[@arrebatar]

If I believed in reencarnation, I would say: THIS IS HENDRIX! THE SAME VOICE! THE SAME PLAYING! GREAT TALENT! GREAT HANSEN!

[@johnlower9094]

Believe in it. Hendrix himself said "is this the only life you believe in, this one?"

[@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

[@stevengrahn5913]

Everyone and anyone that picks up an electric guitar , no matter what brand , or where it came from or originated ...everyone , absolutely must learn a Jimi Hendrix tune . To myself , it does not really matter which 1 tune a person might chose to play . What does matter , to me , is that , indeed , 1 does in fact , learn to play , or at least try to learn ,the "style" that Jimi played in . He did teach the world how to play an electric guitar . That is my opinion . I do not believe I will change my opinion of this subject matter , any time soon . No , not soon , at all :) peace :)

[@paulablissett9396]

AMEN AND CHEERS!

[@robertvavra414]

I saw Randy Hansen for about 3 songs in 1979, in Dallas, TX. One of those songs songs was "Little Miss Lover" (from Axis: Bold As Love). I was very impressed with the way he duplicated the sounds of the recorded track, and amplified it with the loud excitement of a live concert. I had to leave the gig early to make to work on time.

[@LightSaber83]

The best guitarist AFTER Hendrix...No one comes even close......NO ONE.....Only hendrix could come from the grave to improve somtehing than can be improved....sorry for my bad english

[@bataca89]

Hendrix´s spirit lives on

[@digital0707neo]

I saw Hendrix in concert three times in my life, the last time was ten days before he died. In a live performance, Randy out performs the music of the original. Please don't seek my death for saying this, but Randy is so incredibly accurate with his renditions, it's like hearing Jimi again, but without all the ad lib, and all the mistakes. Thanks for the great work. Us children of the 60's grew up with the records and always wanted to hear them duplicated.

[@mydudes4456]

I want to have guitar lessons from him

WAO! This is the BEST Randy Hansen performance yet, IMHO, and I've been "following" sporadically for a few years. Thanks to YT, I now listen often!

[@mrvlsmrv]

Saw him in a nightclub in Tempe AZ in February of 1978. Just blew me away. Went out on the floor playing with a roadie carrying his cord. When he got back to the stage. He just sat on the edge and did a backward somersault up to his feet. While playing and not missing a lick. Great showman and player. One of the quickest players I've seen up close (2nd row). Even sang like Jimi. Bass player and drummer were exceptional too. Watch a lot of YT videos of Mr. Hansen. Thanks posters.

[@ludovicocorde5751]

Holy cow, takes a backwards recorded solo and plays it "front ways." No mere imitator, this guy rocks it. This is basically a "studio song" and even Hendrix avoided playing it live.

[@methos05]

Hendrix played it about 20 times!! there is 17 live recorded version. The best one are from Winterland, you have also Vienna that is powerfull, he did it in vancouver too very version. The New York Rock Festival, Singer Bowl you have it on video but he broke a string when he started the solo... so he did it a couples time find them and enjoy! this is a lot better than Hanson version :P

Excellent. The only performer of Jimi, that is approved by the Hendrix family, here in Seattle. I have seen Randy twice, Seattle and Edmonds. He can even play the guitar with his feet, while the guitar is lying on the ground

To me, only two guitar players can do Jimi justice, Eric Johnson and Randy Hansen, but I must lean to Randy because he's a more soulful player.

But even before that he even brought in a small snipit of a very cool song by the James gang called “The Bomber” it’s actually a take from a bolero so when you check out The Bomber on the original credits it will also say Part C - Bolero

[@digital07071]

When you listen to Beethoven or Mozart, or DeBussy, do you say about the artist playing "oh they're just a clone" of course not. There is the composer, and then the musician to play the composition.

I got to see Randy Hansen in his prime back in the early 1980s when he was wild and still agile enough to come down off of the stage and jump around on the tables and the bar. It was a Hendrix tribute band with over the top crazy showmanship and exquisite guitar playing. They frown on that stuff now.

[@ufowalter]

I guess you have to come to one of our shows. Randy goes wild every damn show. Sometimes I wish he would hold back a little, it‘s dangerous sometimes.

[@Satchmoeddie]

@@ufowalter I was lamenting the fact I was born too late to see Jimi and a friend said, "My Lucky's, basement, next week, Randy Hansen." I was already playing part time at Mr. Lucky's once or twice a week. Back in the 70s and 80s, the cowboys would come in to the bar upstairs (the C&W stage) all sweaty & dirty from working, drink for an hour or two then go home, shower shave, get dressed up to the nines and come back with their WAGs. The basement stage was 99% rock n roll. Randy took a flying leap off the stage and landed on a table. Drinks and snacks were flying everywhere. We had the presence of mind to grab the table so it didn't flop over and go flying. Mr. Lucky's is now an abandoned building with a neon sign that is a registered historical landmark. It was a used mattress outlet for a while, and a Mexican dance hall for a while. I was happy to see it used as a Mexican dance hall, as it was originally built for a good night out with live entertainment. I am okay with jamming with the Mexicans too. The last shop I worked at did accordion repair. Some of the big name Tejano, or Norteno players would drive over 24 hours, 1 way, to get an accordion fixed. A few of them has some super serious narco money behind them. It could be some stupid minor sticky key repair, no charge, and everyone in the shop got a few $100 bills as a tip and a "No one touches my shit, but you guys!". I did an old Magnatone M20 amp for the guy. A $1500 tip, and we'd go play some Mexican music and run up another $1000 at the hotel bar.
