Uli Jon Roth - Little Wing (Live in Japan)

[@crusheverything4449]

There are a lot of guitarists who cover Hendrix, and rightly so, but none I’d rather hear than Uli.

[@antrygis1]

Yep! I saw him do Little Wing and Watchtower in 2004 in his 1st return to America in 19 years. Here he does what I call the "whale sounds" guitar at about the 3:40? mark. Anyway, however he does Hendrix, going back to the Spirit of Hendrix DVD in 91 is great. Jimi would've had his head turned after hearing Earthquake. When he's on he turns from tone to tone, effect to effect in such a magical display of what you can do. Check out his wrists. When I met him, first of all, I am doing it, throw me out if you must, but we talked and his wrists are thick. His hands are not much if any bigger than mine. but I think this allows him to have ease in his playing where Hendrix had huge hands. Uli certainly stuck to his guns, followed his muse and is Uli. The one and only.

I love this version but my favorite cover of this is by Stevie Ray Vaughn, this is awesome though!

By Far, The best version I've ever Heard. Even Hendrix could say this is a masterpiece.

[@MosDef-k1p]

Agreed! But what the holy fuck is with the drums??? Who's playin' A I?

[@sairamr6886]

Uli's playing is just like a fresh Breeze. Effortless, a breath of fresh air and powerful

[@markusradner5275]

I know that he is good. I even know that he is very good. But that???? That is simply brilliant, simply out of this world. It's a virtuosity that is so brilliant and on point. I think everyone knows the original and some covers of little wing. Like quinn sullivans version which is also outstanding. But it doesn't come close to that. And he doesn't just do one-simple cover, no, that would be too easy, he varies it completely without even rudimentarily changing the original to the extreme. You can only bow down in awe and say thank you for these 8 minutes of goosebumps

[@FabienneMertens-j7m]

hello how are you today, I'm watching your mix and it's exactly what I listen to, more or less I love guitarists especially these great ones, well done for your mix. Becka

[@uwemisterman]

...es gibt viele Covers, aber an Uli's kommt keine ran ...mit so viel Gefühl gespielt ..phantastisch 👍

[@TheWhippetmaster]

I would love to see David Gilmore's reactions while watching this, I feel he could appreciate this with more depth than most others.

[@alexanderruppert1705]

The master what more can you say. UJR by far the greatest guitarist of all time

[@zachariahlloyd6043]

*He is definitely close!!*

[@Fant01]

He’s up there with the best, but there are too many good guitarists to say that he is the greatest of all times…what about SRV just to name one?

[@fayekao5334]

saw Uli in 1985 at the country club in Reseda.......Electric Sun tour.........first time he played in the US

[@michaelcruz8312]

The legend. The master. The god. What more can you say? That was sweet to the point of being Japanese. P-E-R-F-E-C-T-I-O-N.

[@jaszulni]

There's a soul living in that solo..

[@alejandromoran4590]

I love his version!!!!

[@sunriseseluler157]

The best version

[@mirkograveho1388]

around 91 I was in Berlin, living right behind Potsdamer Plats where Pink Floyd played The Wall. It was an open concert and we enjoyed the music without going, till The Wall started playing and we rushed in to see David Gilmour play the guitar lead. There was no David Gilmour but Uli Jon Roth and it was an impeccable performance. All in the house for Germany, the wall came down and it was a German guitarist that celebrated it.

[@EduardoSouza-km9kh]

Best version by far!

[@philippewojciechowski5304]

Uli is magic !!!!

[@blindspot9097]

to me, this is as good as the original. bravo! mr. roth bravo!

[@dougcarson5202]

Uli covering Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing", this is absolutely Guitar Heaven! Even better, he's backed up by an army of complimentary guitarists fleshing out the experience even more magnificentily!

[@Pratt_MusicRoom]

[@JessicaCapurro-m1r]

Uli 😍🤗 The God of the Guitar And his sweet voice 😇😇

[@joshuacrawford1255]

I think Jimi would have approved of this. You can see the respect UJR has for Hendrix.

[@stevemorse108]

That clean passage was very tasteful.

[@ΜΑΡΙΑΤΣΑΟΥΣΙΔΟΥ-φ3π]

Παιδιά δεν έχω λόγια υπέροχο!!!!!Συγχαρητήρια!!!!!

[@jasonspitzer1503]

This is easily the best cover of this tune that I’ve heard and I’ve listened to millions of ‘em. It’s even better than SRV’s, and that’s a very high bar. Long live UJR! Like Michael Schenker the guy’s playing only gets better with age

[@pisangdarnok385]

WOW AMAZING

[@jammer522]

6 string guitars not enough for the master, he designs and makes his own 7&8 string guitars!

GREAT , ULI J. ROTH MAYBE THE BEST GUITARIST ON LIFE (7-10-2021) , WONDERFUL COVER OF THIS JIMI HENTRIX MASTERPIECE , I KNOW THAT IT IS BLASPHEMY WHAT I WRITE NOW BUT I THINK THAT THIS VERSION IS BETTER FROM THE ORIGINAL !

Wow to see Ule Ritgen with Uli again. It would be great if he toured with Uli and play maybe 5 Electric Sun songs. Or 10 cause they're really good and I prefer it to Scorpions which has had its fair share in recent years.
