Lead guitar and vocals~Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Lead Vocals and acoustic guitar~Noah Hunt, Joe Krown on keys, Scott Nelson on bass, and SRV's Chris Layton on drums
As a blues man for about 50 yrs, I have seen some talent come and go. Dianne Allman, Clapton, BBKing, Buddy Guy, all the big names. I still remember the night I cried when SRV died. Part of me died, too.
I couldn't see a future. It was over. Clapton wasn't too g much blues, BB was playing from a chair the past 2 times I saw him, and age was catching the masters.
Then these three kids showed up, KWS, Joe Bonamassa, and Johnny Lang. They were upstarts, showing promise. I figured them to fade after the "wunderkind" wore off... and they did.
Still looking, I caught Walter Trout in St Petersburg, and my heart mended after 20 years of despair. I had hope again. The blues would survive.
I saw Joe in Tallahassee in 2012, and saw the future was getting brighter. He wasn't as raw as Trout but he dressed better.
This is a "coming of age" for these guys. The kids have become the masters. They own this now.
KWS sure scratched the love out of that ax. I was waiting for him to mature into his own. He did.
He sure did, with knobs on!
After a while you just don't see the guitar, you see his soul. Awesome!
Well. Here again for the 537th time. As a HUGE SRV fan, I have so much admiration for KWS and this performance. Unreal!
Me too, shame he doesn't sing very much though, then he would be the whole package. Half a package will do though with playing like that, hats off to him, but he looks better with a hat on.
Driving 8 hours this weekend to see him and Buddy Guy!!
Never give up an opportunity to see this band live. Kenny is one hell of a player, full of energy and feel.
Yes I have seen them live twice and getting tickets today for the Feb 12 shreveport show. Noah is a great vocalist but always mesmerized by KWS
I really cant understand ANYONE giving a thumbs down...this is ‘real talent’ not fake...a VIRTUOSO ! Bravo
Trolls with nothing else to do but pee on someone's parade. Sad way to live.
Whomever gave this a thumbs-down only watched because they incorrectly assumed this was only Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) and this brilliance is beyond them.
Whomever gave this a thumbs down was quite simply..... crazy or deaf!
One of the best modern blues performances I have witnessed.and Noah's vocals are totally amazing
When your heroes are guitar legends like SRV and Hendrix, and you work your ass off to become one yourself, hats off to KWS for this one holy sh*t
I've been burning up guitar for along time and I have to say Kenny kicks some serious ass.
best comment of the year ... happy 2023 mate from australia
As a guitarist...I am humbled! Amazing I didn't know Kenny had so much amazing talent!
me too-...
outstanding!!!!!!!! I`m a 67 year old guy from Germany. It blows me away
This fella is legit. Always did enjoy his playing but never in a million years would i have expected him to make such strides in finding a balance between his influences and himself. Saw him live a few years back for the first time in nearly two decades and was thoroughly blown away at how beautifully his playing has matured.
saw him again shortly after on the experience Hendrix tour back-to-back nights in Milwaukee...... Sharing the stage with Eric Johnson, Zach Wilde, Doyle Bramhall , Jonny Lang, Buddy Guy..... All of which would make for a humbling lesson in humility for 99% of us guitar players......... KWS was the easily the standout player in my opinion. I was blown away, which doesn't happen too often.
"Legit"? Bit of a understatement don't you think? 🤣
I've seen Kenny live many times. He always sets the place on fire..and then some..amazing guitarist and the velvet soulful voice of Noah Hunt...
Absolute control. He completely owned that. Blues rock playing doesn't really get any better than this.
Any musician who can do justice to
this song , believe me , they are second to none
Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band Is IT when it comes to Blues/Rock music!!!!
I knew Kenny when he was like 19. One minute you were having a normal conversation with him, the next he was on stage, almost in a trance, just tearing it up. He was phenomenal then and still is today. The way he channels Hendrix is amazing. Noah and the band still sound great too.
His Dad, knowing S.R.V. is key. Kenny sat on Stevies amps during concerts. K.W.S
Has amazing roots
Kenny Wayne was such a nice boy...
@@gerrett108 Wow, never knew that! Now for the unfortunate part - I now better understand why he has significant hearing loss (my diagnosis, not based on anything I’ve read or heard from him)....
This starts out with "Voodoo Chile", the more straight-ahead, slow blues.
And then rips into "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" about halfway through the video.
And Kenny Wayne just kills it.
Strat Slayer.
Stratomaster.
Gets that Jimi Hendrix by way of Stevie Ray Vaughan tone that Strats are known for.
Great cover.
Noah Hunt's vocals are on point.
ABSOFRIGGINLUTELY!!!!
What a legend!!!
I think Jimi would be proud of this young man actually doing justice to his song and carrying on the legacy of Jimi. I've been listing to KWS for over 20 years, since he was a young kid at 18! He has developed over the years into truly a great musician. Again, I think Jimi would approve of this young man and his interpretation of his music. May he have many more years to develop his skill so that we fans of his music will be able to hear for long after I've left this earth.
He's an awesome guitarist
I got to see KWS perform just last Sunday & he played Voodoo Child. AMAZING!! & VERY EMOTIONAL!!
I'm 1 of the LUCKY ONES to see HENDRIX perform the SAME SONG!!
I still have my ARE YOU EXPERIENCED tee shirt!! I'm 67.
THANKS KWS!!
I agree. He’s doing respect to it.
Hard work. Lots of Hendrix and SRV impersonators out there. Or should I say tribute players.
I want to cry when I imagine what Jimi would be doing now. Maybe something with Apple? Maybe changed styles 2x by now? Maybe became an astronaut and worked with Richard Branson ?
“ Who Knows “ ?
But not playing Voodoo Child for 40-50 years
A freaking amazing!!!! Man... wouldn't you LOVE to feel like he is feeling in this moment!!!!!!! I can't even imagine!!!!!!!!
Wow, now this is how to play your ass off and also pay respects. Love it
Whaoooo ... great rendition, what a deep feeling! we knew about Jimi, we knew about Stevie, here is Kenny reaching the sky !
Damn! Kenny sure can jam the hell out of that guitar. I thought it was going to burst into flames. The vocals are smooth and the whole band kicks major ass.
My fingers are blistered just from watching him. What a performance, what a post. Thanks!
Being from Louisiana I have seen him many times, he always blows my mind
I’ve seen Kenny absolutely destroy any guitar he puts his hands on... amazing guitar player with an amazing voice....surrounded by multi talented musicians.... any time he’s around I wouldn’t miss it....
This has become my favorite video on TH-cam. Every time I watch it I get inspired. Thank you Linda, for the amazing job capturing this, and for sharing it with us.
runrunrun6777 Thanks! It was truly a fantastic gig! 😊
Awe stricken by this performance. Just beyond beautiful for this old blues lady. Think you Missmoke007 for recording the history of one of the best renditions of this song ever.
Im here again too . Cant get enough of this performance. I think it is one of the best ive seen. And ive seem a lot.
Always liked KWS, listened on radio all the time. But he is way better than the blue on black days! You can hear jimi, srv, muddy waters and a lil bit of albert king. THANK GOD he is keeping them all alive in his playing. Damn that boys good.
It's pretty good but Gary Moore was way better if u d ok nt believe go look at GM do Red House or Voodoo Chile..
I saw Pea Shooter when he was in high school because his dad said he was good. Shotgun Ken didn't lie
Agreed
Hell when they first started, I thought they were going into Bridge of Sighs.
gary just makes better faces
Stellar! Outstanding performance and rendition of an all time favorite Hendrix song. Jimi would be proud....so would Stevie Ray.
The old saying is practice, practice, and practice. The end result is excellence at its finest and thats exactly what this young man has accomplished. What I just observed is pure brilliance in his chosen craft. The sky is the limit for such a talented individual. Just outstanding.
Nice 👍🏻 words
Thank God there's still some good music being played 2day.
absolutely!
I've seen KWS live twice and Damn!!! this man just keeps getting better....that is one hell of a rendition of Jimi's version love how played both together.
That is Awesome and you can hear a lot Jimi in his notes...just F*****g great playing
Hells yeah! I was luck enough to see Kenny on ledbetter heights tour in deep ellum. Same night saw Silverchair. An amazing eve. Kws band is bomb. Joe Bonamassa or Kenny is best blues act today!
Good to see Chris Layton (Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble) still playing drums, & playing with KWS. I saw Mr Layton play a few years ago on the "Experience Jimi Hendrix Tour".
KWS, has just slayed that Strat to death!
I am glad to hear KWS play the wild stuff, and not just a lot of very controlled riffs he normally plays, but is also very good!
Got to respect all Louisiana musian....
Wow. He is on fire. He took Jimi's songs and did them in the spirit of Jimi and his own.
Covid19 brought me here.
No summer concerts, but this made my day ~~~
TY
INCREDIBLE ROCKING THE BLUES KENNY WAYNE!!!!!😎🎸
That man is in own world when he plays that guitar.The more I listen to this video the better it gets. Love his music.
50 plus years later, and Jimi's still with us.
Seen KWS four times, going again in July, front row again! .. we go every time he comes to Indiana..Will be daughters 5th time seeing him. My sister too..Blues Master, but not just blues..KWS ROCKS the house! What a guitar player.. what a band! We got to meet Chris Layton at the Casino in Southern Indiana..What a nice guy! Rock on KWS !!
Kenny kicks in the ass! So much hendrixysch more than ever! Killertone like Landau - unbelievable!
This is one of my favorite Hendrix songs ever, I've never been the biggest Kenny Wayne Shepherd fan I've always been yeah he's okay ...... MIND CHANGED!!!! Kenny killed it !!!!! Kenny is a bad ass
Just saw this. As a Jimi and a Voodoo Child fan this is remarkable. This is still a standard for great guitar players. KWS is certainly that. I have been appreciating this for decades now. All I can say is wow. I think Jimi would have liked it.
You got that right killer; OMG!!!!!! THE DAY SRV & JIMMY BOWED, 😢 TEARS FROM HEAVEN . WOW THANK YOU FOR SHARING
Saw him live about 2006? In San Diego at a casino, played a some slots. Got in line for the show, my wife and I walked right to the front of the stage. Awesome show. Thera was couple of chicks to the right of us saying they were going to grab the set list taped to the stage, I had that in my mind already. So Kenny finished up on Voodoo child he dropped his pick,it bounced off of his boot right in front of me,I grabbed it stuck it in my pocket. That was the last song so I was watching those chicks thinking about grabbing the set list. I said nope! I jumped on stage,peeled the set list up and it's now framed with the pick.
Noah and Kenny Wayne blended so naturally. Then Kenny Wayne took the song to a new level. OMG Jimi would have loved it I’m sure!
AMAZING band !
All Hell Broke loose !!!
More and more...
This makes my day...
3:14 Longest sustain I've ever heard. I went shopping and came back. :) Great job.
I know he kind of zoned out there for a minute lost in the feel then realized oh shit where he was at Ahahahahahaaah!
I went for a bite! That thing must go to 11
Aka machine gun Fillmore Hendrix
Gave me goose bumps
I think it's more feedback than sustain.
Best thing I ever heard Ken do, perfection
THE best version I’ve ever heard. KWS can play a broomstick if it had a string on it. He just absolutely killed it. His band was very tight on the stops/starts they did. 7 stars on a 5 star system.
He certainly blew me away that day :)
that's a great great rendition of Jimi's spirit, yeah!
Was there. Will remember it for the rest of my life....
WOW! Keeping The Blues Alive For Sure!
Sat down with a bowl of steaming hot seafood gumbo and just happened to see this. Put it on the big speakers at the restaurant. Place is shaking and my friend can hear it three blocks away at his bar.
Thanks for posting!
Way beyond awesome...Miss Moke does it for us again!
Thanks!
Look at the beautiful guitar-mesmerizing, wish was there!
That's what I call a home run! Ya done Jimi proud! Holy crap that was amazing
KWS is really great! I think it was early 90s my daughter was in high school and she brought home a CD by KWS and she said, Mom you gotta listen to this! I was blown away, because he was still in his teens! He has only gotten better through the years! Every great blues player, including SRV, has done Jimi Hendrix, and they've done justice. But all the videos I've seen of Jimi doing Voodoo Child, I still can't see how he does it! Jimi and the Experience were only a 3 piece band … Jimi played lead, rhythm and sang and still nobody could see how he did it! There will never be another Jimi! I still give kudos to all the great blues guitar players who are still giving Jimi homage to his music and his songs, 40+ years later! I think I'm still a teenager!
Wow, one of his best performances ever. Love it!
I have always loved KWS/band, but I think I have even a higher level of respect for him/them now!!
A true masterpiece that it really doesn't matter who's playing it or how it is played just so long that someone is playing it
Ken raised an iconic master of the strings! Professor Kenny Wayne! Love my Shreveport and Bossier City boys
Every time I listen to this one I get chill bumps, KWS is, in my opinion, one of the greatest guitar artists alive. He just wales that thing and it does magic.
SRW would be so proud of this guy! Never forgotten
The man is POSSESSED!! Incredible solo work. Beautiful guitar, too.

I see a lot of comments on this talking about KWS and what a great guitarist he is. I agree completely of course since that is why I happened on to this video. All that aside for the moment, if you actually are the one that recorded this video, then I just want commend you. You did a great job on both the video aspect and the sound quality. Thanks to you.
It can't be emphasized enough how important that is to the musicians shredding their souls into the sounds we listen for. God bless whoever made this video. Come to Church with me and my kiddos sometime and I''ll pay you like car notes to make this good of a video of us. To the rest of y'all, I say just imagine what it's like for people to put this much energy into their music in an environment where the Holy Ghost is moving. Hmmm come to think of it, the Lord has probably paid plenty of good attention to this band (KWS). Jesus does like good music too. Ha, and y'all thought he was just some stuffy Jewish kid who died on a cross? Might want to read the Bible for yourself without all the Alexander-Scorsby-how-they-get-taught-to-try-to-sound-holy-preacher-voice inflection some time. Jesus was real people, y'all. So is Kenny Wayne :) Again, I say God bless whoever made the video, and God bless the one that uploaded it and the people around who put up with them and love them. Thanks.
Linda Moke, it says in the video description. Well God bless Linda Moke. You go, girl.
Joseph Bridges yes sir I agree 100%. This nonsense I keep hearing about rock music being all satanic is a bunch of annoying bs. Yes there’s the death metal idiots and sadly the current day pop/rap stars who are forced to bow to the evil one for stardom since he’s in control of the entertainment industry (practically flaunting himself now) BUT..
good old blues and rock and roll such as kws is far from satanic in my opinion. Although I listened to Black Sabbath and such for the heavy sound and didn’t pay too much attention to the lyrics honestly. We have to admit it’s always probably been worse than we were aware of. Jimmy page buying alaister Crowley’s house and living in it for example. Wtf I’ve always claimed led zep was the greatest of the great but that shit sorta sours it.
We know who’s coming to clean house, if not just vaporize this rotting ball of evil and bring us home. Hallelujah!
And all sound that brings joy to the people's
Whatever the house plants (brothers n sisters)play bringing warmth too all' well being '✌👂
@@freeryder4891 jus to let you know, the record label wanted the crucifix upside down on Sabbath's debut album and they told them to stick it where the sun don't shine. FYI. Just four brummies who created heavy rock which sounded so damn heavy coz the guitarist had to learn to play without the tips of two fingers due to an industrial accident.
Holy cow!!! The BEST of the best!! Rock on Kenny!!
Ive seen KWS many times always jaw dropping amazing..gives 110%
Noah always sounds awesome. .if they play your area..RUN dont walk for tickets
Damn.....that wore me out! Keep it comin', Kenny!
Love the tone he gets, his technique and skill are awesome
That first bend and hold was absolutely ridiculous! What a remarkable version.
Saw him in Frome, UK just 3 weeks ago, he did this as the closing number, i'm still numb from exhilaration. Blindingly good
Thanks so much for sharing. Love Kenny and Noal, so freakin' much.
Noah Hunt has a great voice...
Kenny Wayne has the total
package, extremely talented, giving his o twist
This was THE BEST CRUISE YET !! Great surprise to see KWS is joining us on the KTBA CRUISE in August on the Mediterranean !!!! Thank you linda for capturing this awesome moment.
I was really excited to hear he is coming back :)
Kenny is an amazing guy. Noah is his spiritual twin.
Kenny is a member of those who play Voodoo chile club.
Jimmie H, SRV & Buddy Guy.
Don't forget Gary Moore, he did an awesome version 🖤🎵🎶🇬🇧
@@sandragriffiths9692 I don't know him
@@MV-vo1tx Maybe you should look him up, you might just like him too☺
On FIRE for sure! Another great version. I got chills! He really is like Jimi, I don't think he can play the same version twice even if he wanted to. Truly a great Guitarist!
Kenny and Noah really work amazing together
Huge thanks for that excellent videography and any post mixing! Awesome clarity!
That guitar playing is BLOODY WITCHCRAFT! Excellent interpretation of what I consider jimmys best track and tone. KWS owned it. Great vocals too.
Machine Gun (on BoGs) might top it, for me anyway.
@@ThePeanutButterCup13 Machine gun all the way!
Ken's a gitar god.
I was crying on his over the top jammin.
Bless you young man.
Me, too
This performance and recording are so deliciously, incredibly good! He's still young and willing to improve. How much better can he get? OMG watch out!
GOD! That is a beautiful guitar and beautifully played. Kudos.
I rode a bad ass motorcycle to see him play in Lockport NY. he came to the Buffalo area every summer and I tried not to miss. what a show!!!
Nice to hear a great singer doing this song for once!
One of my favorite bands! I think the ocean air agrees with them! Awesome video. Thank you!
Jimmy brought it to life. Kenny picked up his ax and Killed it... in the best way possible. Damn, that was GOOD!!!
I seen him once...
and he blew me away...
what a beast..
total master.
OMFG!!! Jimi called this The ELECTRIC church KWS has the talent and The ELECTRIC Church pours out. I LOVE IT. I saw KWS at The Warfield in San Francisco when he was about 18 or so. I knew he was special then. HE'S ELECTRIC MOZART NOW. Go get 'em dude.
I saw Kenny when he was 16 years old and got him to sign Ledbetter Heights for me it was around 1995.... I still have that autographed album and I've really enjoyed watching him grow through the years>>>>>>>> Bravo!!!
Saw Kenny in Tucson a month ago and he tore it up. No playing around just pure jam from beginning to end.
