It's hard enough to merely play Jimi Hendix's riffs... that alone takes years of study. But Randy Hansen has the entire package down, even more consistently than his muse was able to pull off live. The VOCALS are what astound me - it's so close to Jimi that I swear his ghost is onstage. There are lots of videos of him out there that are great... but I think this is Mr. Hansen at the peak of his talent. Humbling, inspiring, and just fucking awesome...
Hendrix’s music is 60 years old. Jimi Hendrix was far ahead in during his time. Because NO body played (double stops) Hendrix probably got from muddy waters) rhythm n blues chops. But Jimi took double stops up another notch. Extreme! The entire album (axis bold as love) is the guitar bible for double stops rhythm n blues chops. Although the recording of axis bold as love is NOT best. Most people don’t hear everything Jimi is actually doing. Until they LEARN the songs on guitar themselves. In 67 Jimi lost original master recording. Were left with the a record the experience had to start from scratch re record almost everything in one day because deadline
This is the best line up too. Not saying the ones he tours with back in here in the United States are bad, but this line up seems to gel the best. I've been watching his videos over the years, I'm hoping that since TH-cam has taken down most of Hendrix original music down due to copyright issues that people start listening to Randy Hansen more. He deserves to be heard. Even my stepdad, who has seen Hendrix twice, said he could've sworn Randy was Hendrix because I had hid the video from him. Hansen is the real deal.
Randy Hansen with his German rhythm section, Manni and Ufo, is the best incarnation of the band. The sound quality of these Karlsruhe gigs is the best I’ve come across, very clear, and balanced.
Randy and the band are really awesome: You can't even call him an "impersonator" since he sings and plays Jimi's music with feeling and infinite passion. This version of Hear my train... is simply incredible!!
thank fuck for randy hansen, keeping the spirit of hendrix alive, he is, by far, the nearest we are going to get to the great man himself, long may you continue randy, ps, haul your ass over to the uk sometime.
How could ANYONE put a thumbs down on this performance? I've been listening to Randy since the late 70's and he's amazing. If you liked this, find some of his performances of "Machine Gun". Every nuance of Jimi's live performance at the Fillmore East is there. Randy is brilliant.
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.
6:13 Since 1975 😱😱😱😱 Randy. Thank you for dedicating your ENTIRE LIFE To keep Jimmy alive, you are truly Amazing, Mad props to the Rhythm Section as well 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Randy momma name him Randy not Jimi and he has his own Unique DNA 🧬 but you wanna change your purpose to be like a Brother who did his own thing. Yeah that’s some spades in the true game of Life
Randy is just supernatural man and wow Ufo and Manny are such a killer rythym section holding it down man the musicianship is truly stellar here man Randys vibrato is sick man i t s spot on and his voice is spot on ....eery and supernatural .......
Randy has taken Hendrix music to new levels by personalizing it and performing it for decades ( something Jimi tragically did not wind up doing.... imagine where he would have taken it!) with love and talent. I’d say he is a top notch musician and performer in his own right who happens to do Hendrix with more respect and precision than anyone I’ve seen. I believe the persona, outfits,guitar and moves all give we who didn’t experience Jimi a genuine taste ! Rock on brother Randy !
Sometimes I watch this a couple a times a day throughout the week. I'm an old dawg... 66 years old. I didn't know of Randy till about 2 years ago. I saw that he even visited Melbourne to play at the Palais. How I wished I'd have seen them there. What a great man.... and then next on the list comes Machine gun .... sooo good. All the best from Australia.
I remember back in 1975, 76, I saw Randy Hansen at a night club in Orange County California, he played "1983, A Merman I Should Turn T Be". I could not believe how spot on it was, it sounded just like from the Electric Ladyland album . Randy was a trio and he played it flawlessly, I was impressed. Everytime he came through Los Angeles I was there, at least 4-5 times. Thank you Randy you always delivered and gave me my Jimi fix.I recall at least 2 club gigs, The Santa Monica Civic and The Golden Bear in Huntington Beach.
What is most important is Randy sounds 95% Hendrix and the other 5% is his own . I'm glad. I'm glad there is another Jimi for those of us who were very unfortunate enough to have missed the person and his performances.
Hear My Train at Comin 'is one of my favorite Hendrix songs. This guy from Randy Hanson made me bristle the hair on his arm at ground time. Really very good.
I seen Randy in the mid '70s at the Tower theater with a friend. Jeff and I were absolutely floored by the performance. Straight up Hendrix Tribute! And man, what a tribute it was. Never seen him tour in the same fashion. At least not around philly. Good times....miss ya Jeff. Hope you're well.
You get the Joke. There is no Randy Hansen, Jimi was sent back to earth as an symbiot and only Randy's body was fit to carry him. THX Randy for keeping the spirit of Jimi alive.
I hear Randy but I hear the soul of Jimi. It is uncanny. As a guitarist I owned every wax produced. Spent untold hours. Funkadelic once offered a job.1990? Never saw live.
The world saw Hendrix we don't need to see the 19 now now we need to see a new shining light that lights up and take us to higher ground. Randy Hansen is highlighting Hendrix creation. You got to be your own magic.
@@issimonete keep on watching & be happy they making faking bacon. It's healthy. Hendrizzzz made two Bob Dylan's songs explode,Hansen ain't making Jimi music his music. Gittar playas Creamy & Itch took a lotta Hendrizzzzxx joints and did Major Justice to them,but of course y'all wouldn't know that cause y'all don't cross the track,Randy Hansen don't neither.You got to Splurge,Jimi Hendrix did.
Amazing as always, and still having a blast after all these years. A funny note ... not only does he play a left-handed strat upside down, he even has a backwards "Fender Stratocaster" decal, taking the mirror image to it's logical conclusion! Great little tongue in cheek joke. (check it out at 6:52)
Pretty fucking impressive!!! I'm a huge jimi Hendrix fan and play guitar pretty fair myself...but not that well. Jimi would most certainly be proud. Great job randy!
All Hendrix fans know the song on are u expecting ( can you see me) you would never see Hendrix being Hansen or dressing like any other white dude in the universe.If you could you would see a future zillionyears. That would be Super impressive
Hendrix was Black,from the camp of people who is darker than Blue. The music Hendrix put out is symptoms of the struggle Black people lives,the pain emotions,the struggles of rejections to be love,The sounds of amplified Blues.
When Jimi passed away his soul didn't go to Heaven.. it entered Randy Hansen
Absolutely the best guy doing Jimi Hendrix period!!!!!
nothing in the last 45 years even approaches this.
Randy is the only one who captures the spirituality and freedom of Jimi.
Stellar musician.

the only authentic Hendrix impersonator

He is better
You got that right
Randy is awesome. I call it a tribute, not an impersonation.
Randy Hansen with his German rhythm section, Manni and Ufo, is the best incarnation of the band. The sound quality of these Karlsruhe gigs is the best I’ve come across, very clear, and balanced.
Thanks! It's a multitrack-recording. Ufo himself did the soundmix. 😉
How the fuck can anyone thumbs down this kind of badassery?
jelously
Randy aint tired of jimi hendrix and he's been playing the experiences and gypsys song since 75 and that's cause Jimis songs are that darn good
Randy and the band are really awesome: You can't even call him an "impersonator" since he sings and plays Jimi's music with feeling and infinite passion. This version of Hear my train... is simply incredible!!
johnny4blues Yeah, he's giving Homage to Hendrix.
also, it's been said that he plays Hendrix longer than Jimi Hedrix played Hendrix
When I close my eyes it’s like Jimi is up there doing his thing
Hey when the Hendrix family recognizes you do Jimi.
I love Hendrix. But I love Randy Hansen, and U.F.O. Walter is insane. Whole band is awesome.
don't ever get tired,we love it,im 70,and ur the closest to Jimi I ever heard.very good.
Hey Randy, you are the closest thing to Jimi Hendrix we ALL have, kudos to you, and don't ever stop playing Jimi's Tunes!
Onde o saudoso Hendrix estiver deve está super contente e aplaudindo de pé a performance de Randy Hansa....!!!!!
This is proof that Jimi Hendrix didn't die..he only changed his name to Randy Hansen.
thank fuck for randy hansen, keeping the spirit of hendrix alive, he is, by far, the nearest we are going to get to the great man himself, long may you continue randy, ps, haul your ass over to the uk sometime.
Thank you,Randy.
I like Randy's singing too !
How could ANYONE put a thumbs down on this performance? I've been listening to Randy since the late 70's and he's amazing. If you liked this, find some of his performances of "Machine Gun". Every nuance of Jimi's live performance at the Fillmore East is there. Randy is brilliant.
N0 cruxifiction,no ressurection,no Jimi Hendrix,no opionation. Eating good off a another from another M other. Faking the Bacon
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.

Amazing.. first time hearing this guy. Wow, sounds just like Jimi.
How cool Ufo's bass lines are in this one. And his hat too!
Saw Randy many times in the Bay Area in the 70s-80s. Always a grest show.
The more I watch this guy the bigger the smile. Just an amazingly talented guy. Big thumbs up!!!
Ренди просто потрясает своей игрою!!! В нём находится частичка души Д. Хендрикса!!! С каждой ноткой он напоминает нам о нём!!! Живи долго Ренди!!!
Tears burning me way down in my soul
Unbelievable...... So happy that Randy is here to carry on this music PEACE TO EVERYONE
Randy is just supernatural man and wow Ufo and Manny are such a killer rythym section holding it down man the musicianship is truly stellar here man Randys vibrato is sick man i t s spot on and his voice is spot on ....eery and supernatural .......

Copy Katt a Brother outta the hood
Dad keeps on killing it.
Wow what a magical trip no other band can take me to.
Wow Randy is the best. It's like Jimi come back from the death xD
Randy Seems like, no, This guy I don't know just like how Jimi has it......sounds like it is actually Jimi up there 200% and more.....incredible!
Many people try and some can copy Hendrix guitar work, but that voice is scary good. Never heard anything close.
Agreed
Close ain't good,the real deal is what's happening
Sometimes I watch this a couple a times a day throughout the week. I'm an old dawg... 66 years old. I didn't know of Randy till about 2 years ago. I saw that he even visited Melbourne to play at the Palais. How I wished I'd have seen them there. What a great man.... and then next on the list comes Machine gun .... sooo good.

So True !
JIMI reincarnated great cover of Jimi's music 🎶
Smoking guitar playing, really amazing

What is most important is Randy sounds 95% Hendrix and the other 5% is his own . I'm glad. I'm glad there is another Jimi for those of us who were very unfortunate enough to have missed the person and his performances.
Hear My Train at Comin 'is one of my favorite Hendrix songs. This guy from Randy Hanson made me bristle the hair on his arm at ground time. Really very good.
656 - bellissima canzone - ciao da VALERIO !!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
in 1972 beginning I studied Hendrix 3 solid years, closed eyes and no difference except i know, so spontaneous
Killin' it!This goes beyond a mere tribute.This is somehtin' else.I'm not sure what but it's like a shaman channeling a spirit.
I seen Randy in the mid '70s at the Tower theater with a friend. Jeff and I were absolutely floored by the performance. Straight up Hendrix Tribute! And man, what a tribute it was. Never seen him tour in the same fashion. At least not around philly. Good times....miss ya Jeff. Hope you're well.
You get the Joke. There is no Randy Hansen, Jimi was sent back to earth as an symbiot and only Randy's body was fit to carry him. THX Randy for keeping the spirit of Jimi alive.
Yes, very impressive indeed, a real pleasure, what a luxury and amazing "experience" to hear him play, astounding!!! //Chris
It's like Jimi is carring on through this man's body.
Amazing!!!! No words will do this justice.
O my god . Jimi hendrix is steel alive
Plays lead, rhythm and vocals all at the same time. Much like Hendrix
Randi eres muy bueno.
I hear Randy but I hear the soul of Jimi. It is uncanny. As a guitarist I owned every wax produced. Spent untold hours. Funkadelic once offered a job.1990? Never saw live.
already excited to see Randy Hansen in Verviers (BE) end of this year! This is my favorite song, together with Machine Gun
Awesome audio & video and of course Randy UFO & Manni are always great.
Absolutely unbelievable!!!
He could fill football stadiums to capacity for a weekend ! Impressive
It would be a stadium watching a Fake Flake
❤❤❤❤❤
Wow
Randy - here my train - next level…
Thank you so much sharing for this masterpiece.
100% feeling!
Thank you, Ufo
Top, thanks!
Hendrix never died he just changed his identity 😂

SLOW DEEP DARK CREEPY SCARY..BLUES POWER....LOVE IT....TAKEY TAKEY..TAKEY MY SOUL TO A MYSTERIOUS PLACE....
Splendid .Upeeta mahtavaa !
What Randy does is very simple he channels jimis interstellar spirit everytime he plays.thats all it takes.
It ain't simple being a Brother living with The Isley Brothers or chilling with the Villan Lil Richard,simple is .aking a coin off the ?¿??????¿
Powerful to the soul...✌
OMG
Gonna be a magic boy
The world saw Hendrix we don't need to see the 19 now now we need to see a new shining light that lights up and take us to higher ground. Randy Hansen is highlighting Hendrix creation. You got to be your own magic.
Hansen is clearly happy doing what he’s doing. And I am very happy to watch him perform. Keep doing whatever you’re doing Randy!
@@issimonete keep on watching & be happy they making faking bacon. It's healthy. Hendrizzzz made two Bob Dylan's songs explode,Hansen ain't making Jimi music his music.

Amazing as always, and still having a blast after all these years. A funny note ... not only does he play a left-handed strat upside down, he even has a backwards "Fender Stratocaster" decal, taking the mirror image to it's logical conclusion! Great little tongue in cheek joke. (check it out at 6:52)
You can buy one with the money you pimping off a dead G like Hendrix

Crazy good
Pretty fucking impressive!!! I'm a huge jimi Hendrix fan and play guitar pretty fair myself...but not that well. Jimi would most certainly be proud. Great job randy!
All Hendrix fans know the song on are u expecting ( can you see me) you would never see Hendrix being Hansen or dressing like any other white dude in the universe.If you could you would see a future zillionyears. That would be Super impressive
Hey isn’t this guy ranked number one on the Rolling Stone top guitarists of all time? 🤔
WOW - as always
Really cool recording😀
Hendrix was Black,from the camp of people who is darker than Blue. The music Hendrix put out is symptoms of the struggle Black people lives,the pain emotions,the struggles of rejections to be love,The sounds of amplified Blues.
