Can't tell you how many times that I have listened to this song in my life. From Jimi's original to various other artists doing covers. I have to say, of all of the covers that are out there by some amazing guitarists ... there isn't one that gives me goosebumps the way that Stevie did with this particular rendition.
All props in the world to Jimi for what is one of my favorite songs of his. Amazing piece of work. I have to believe that if Jimi had been alive to see this performance from Stevie, he would have been smiling from ear to ear. SRV was absolutely inspired here.
The audio alone is worth the listen, but to watch Stevie play it ... oy!
