      @@jakedavila4468 absolutely. jimi took the standard blues and made it more experimental but when it comes to proficiency and a wide array of style mixed with his insane knowledge of scales and improv stevie was miles ahead of jimi in skill. just look at billy strings now. hes bluegrass but i can hear a ton of srv licks in his improv. went to hs with a kid who thought he was srv. he was good but you can just pick out the phrasing and if its not perfect you can tell. yes i didnt feel like using capitol letters... sorry

      Just that Hendrix wrote and performed the song in 1968..and was un-equalled. S.R.V. great copy. Even down to the hat. Not many people can copy what Hendrix innovated. Great rendition. The live version from the original Hendrix in the West. Is still THE version. The man who wrote it, sang it and played it originally. Is still unmatched.

Saw him 4 times after that including his last performance at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin. I will never forget that day. There was something in the air that day that was palpable. The birds were even acting weird, flocking in circles. He laid it down so hard that night. Hearing the news his helicopter crashed while driving back to the Twin Cities was one of the saddest days in my life. Long live SRV!

    I love how Chris, the drummer and Tommy the bassist can't seem to take their eyes off of Stevie...like us they're mesmerized. I read a quote from Chris Layten once that said "I never got tired of watching Stevie"...and I never get tired of watching him either. I'm 53 and I think Stevie is right up there with Elvis. I'm stumped to think of others with the stage presence anywhere close to these two...who both were true masters.
