Saw kenny and boys play this 22 years ago in little rock at Robinson auditorium. Me ,my brother , my dad and somebody my dad found outside needing a ticket. Front row center. Best show i have ever witnessed still.
Jesus…I’d be losing my mind if I was in the crowd watching this live. He slayed that. Hendrix and Stevie were both looking down, rocking out, and smiling. Hellz yeah.
I remember being blown away by Kenny because he was only about 15 and I think I was about 19 when he started blowing up. It was like wow who is this young kid that can play guitar like that already! Now look at you old man!
Im still gonna give credit to SRV for the best version aside from jimmie himself, but this is truly a legendary performamce. Kenny gets the highest points for stage, lights and sound setup. not just every guitarist out there can get jimmies tones even close without yrs of practice and dedication to his craft . Great respect and love for Kenny Wayne Shephard and the band .The guitar gods like Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn are still alive in spirit thanks to this wonderful artist. Great job 👏
After this blistering cover by Kenny Wayne Shepard has grown into the legend of a bluesman that he was destined to be and had worked tirelessly at his craft the blues your a living legend in my book my good sir rock on
That is what was so special about Jimi Hendrix. he was not only one of the most profoundly influential guitarists, but his songs are timelessly memorable. He didn't just write backing tracks to solo over.
I discovered Kenny with the song blue on black. I was instantly hooked!!! He is one of the most talented guitarist I have ever heard! What a treat to see someone at that level in modern times! Keep killin it brother!!!🎵🙏❤️
I LUV tht they have "time travelers" as their band, AWESOME the old timers HAVE the JUICE, have been play'n & makin' music All their lives & STILL "GOT IT GOIN' ON"!!
I've always loved Kenny Wayne and his band, true blues at its best. Since the early 90's I've listened to them and loved all their songs. Love this look he has with the hat and hair pulled back, it fits him.
Kenny is simply born to play guitar….a naturally gifted young man….such a joy to listen to him play…so perfect so sublime!!!…great rendition of this all time favorite song….I can’t stop listening to it!💙💙🙏🎸💥🔥🔥🔥great team work lads….you are all equally fabulous!!!!!
Saw KWS open for Van Halen in 98-99, they closed with this. Short of Hendrix, never heard better. Sixth row, everyone is on their ass, me and my best friend are on the seats yelling and hawing and loving that shit. One of my best memories ever. Rock on brother. P.S. Van Halen is Van Halen, but you guys were the shit that noght
I cant thank Jimi enough for making being a Hendrix so cool. I heard about Kenny in Shreveport in 89 or 90. He was a prodigy. The cat has the chops. Been a fan since then. Well done KWS!!
What a true honor to the king of guitar of his era Mr. Jimi Hendrix ! I’ve never heard a rendition of such depth and virtuosity as this What an honor to Jimi Hendrix. Kenny W Shepard is truly a master of his craft, a master of the art of guitar playing ! KWS is extremely underrated in my book God bless U
Fantastic performance!!! Not many people can do this song the justice that it deserves! Mission accomplished! Nice to see Whipper handling the beat!!!!
I don't know if it's me growing up in the city most of my life but I was not exposed to enough of Kenny wayne Shepard but, he's got a fan in me now. This is the purest and closest version I have heard done since SRV.
i remember going to see KWS when he first started touring. he wasn't even legally old enough to be in the nightclub he was playing!! The Bottle Rockets opened up for him!! great show!!!!
See him live when you can. He will blow your mind. I just saw him in Ann Arbor MI 3-15-23 at the Michigan theater there. He chooses to play small venues (1600 seats). What an artist!
I saw KWS when he was I think 21. It was on the G3 Tour in 1997. Anyway, at the end when they play "Going Down" and essentially get to cutting heads, Kenny Wayne flat out wrecked Satch and Vai. It was a blast and he was incredible!
I've seen Kenny a few times in Peoria Illinois at the now vacant historic Madison Theatre for the Rock106 Christmas shows which callers could win tickets for The band killed it each time I remember I was playing drums w some guys and being really into Hendrix SRV and playing the blues at local open stage I remember seeing Kenny and his band and feeling lucky to see a band that's carrying the Torch that Hendrix and SRV and the legends of Blues before them I remember feeling the Blues were alive and well at the amadoson Theatre during those shows I'm watching this from a packed homeless shelter in oregon w a smile on my face Wish all the best to Kenny Noah and the band ❤
To me one of the hardest bars ever is “I stand up next a mountain, Chop it down with edge of my hand”. Epic. The transition into “The Power of Soul” was seamless. Very nice.
@@janicalightfoot5413 good blues? Lol. The dude exudes the light of Jesus Christ through a guitar. So I suppose it's "good blues". Hahaha. Probably the best to have ever played a strat.
I've seen this song done ore an ore again but no one rocks it like jimmi an everyone does their best at it sweat and tears were shed on this performance I'm sure very well done Mr. Shepard thanx
If I ever became president I’d walk out to this at my inauguration 😂
You'd have my immediate vote .
Must have heard this gem 10000 times(im 76) and it still gives me goosebumps. Thanks jimi
64 and the same thing
I concur!!!
The internet brought me here ... well, that was one of the best versions I've heard - and I've heard plenty. jeez
Chris Layton on the drums making SRV proud!
I thought that was Chris.
Whipper!
Saw kenny and boys play this 22 years ago in little rock at Robinson auditorium. Me ,my brother , my dad and somebody my dad found outside needing a ticket. Front row center. Best show i have ever witnessed still.
Some people get all the luck..am still outside waiting for a ticket..🇨🇦
Chris Layton FTW. Perfect band for him after the great man left us 😢RIP SRV you are missed.
Jesus…I’d be losing my mind if I was in the crowd watching this live. He slayed that. Hendrix and Stevie were both looking down, rocking out, and smiling. Hellz yeah.
Exactly what I was thinking. Best cover ever
👼👼
I remember being blown away by Kenny because he was only about 15 and I think I was about 19 when he started blowing up. It was like wow who is this young kid that can play guitar like that already! Now look at you old man!
R.I.P. Jimi and SRV, Kenny Wayne has got your backs.
He threw in the perfect amount of his own style and licks. Truly a genius player.
ended the show with this 4/13/24 on my birthday!
Im still gonna give credit to SRV for the best version aside from jimmie himself, but this is truly a legendary performamce.

Kenny Wayne is like a perfect blend of every kick ass blues guitarist rolled into one
Awww, thanks! Throw me in there too, my air 🎸 guitar wails when me and the neighbors listen to KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD!
Amen 🙏 ❤
Agree
Ok cool story dude....
First time I've seen this man play guitar ...he goes pretty good !!! Awesome !!!
Man that was so good living my sheltered life in Aus I had not heard of Kenny Wayne Shepherd, brilliant I am onto all of his stuff now
This is really awesome! Love Kenny when he first came out, still love him to this day! 2023
I discovered Kenny with the song blue on black. I was instantly hooked!!! He is one of the most talented guitarist I have ever heard! What a treat to see someone at that level in modern times! Keep killin it brother!!!🎵🙏❤️
One of my favorite Hendrix songs very well done! ✌️
When he was a kid he could play anything that crossed his mind instantly. The rest of us have to work on it for a good while.
I would plug in and play but the puddle from my tears created from watching this masterclass would no doubt electrocute me.....daaaaaamn.
I LUV tht they have "time travelers" as their band, AWESOME the old timers HAVE the JUICE, have been play'n & makin' music All their lives & STILL "GOT IT GOIN' ON"!!
I've always loved Kenny Wayne and his band, true blues at its best. Since the early 90's I've listened to them and loved all their songs. Love this look he has with the hat and hair pulled back, it fits him.
I'm impressed he did that song justice . I think Stevie ray and Jimmy would be proud of him . God bless you .
Music ...lekker nas we say in South AFRICA..
If we can't Jimi or Stevie... at least we still get to have Kenny!!!
Kenny is simply born to play guitar….a naturally gifted young man….such a joy to listen to him play…so perfect so sublime!!!…great rendition of this all time favorite song….I can’t stop listening to it!💙💙🙏🎸💥🔥🔥🔥great team work lads….you are all equally fabulous!!!!!
you ok??
I agree...very well said
I've seen Jimi, SRV, Clapton, and KWS play vodo chile in person, I'm telling you Jimi would be proud!
I agree
Wow you’re lucky
Seen Jimi? I’m envious:). Fan since ‘67…
O k
I caught one of Kenny Wayne Sheppard's shows when he was really young on Beale st. In Memphis, TN glad to see him still Killin it, Rock On Kenny

Best version I have ever heard Kenny is the new King! And yes that's Chris The Wipper Layton on drums!
Saw KWS on his bday with my brother great time
I cant thank Jimi enough for making being a Hendrix so cool.
I heard about Kenny in Shreveport in 89 or 90.
He was a prodigy. The cat has the chops. Been a fan since then. Well done KWS!!
A tribute to JH and SRV.....both born to play Voodoo Chile
This jam seems to bring out the monster of guitarists who can devour it and spit it out
What a true honor to the king of guitar of his era Mr. Jimi Hendrix ! I’ve never heard a rendition of such depth and virtuosity as this What an honor to Jimi Hendrix. Kenny W Shepard is truly a master of his craft, a master of the art of guitar playing ! KWS is extremely underrated in my book God bless U

Kenny Wayne Shepherd : The MAN The MYTH The LEGEND 🎸 🤘🏻 🙏🏻👏🏻👌🏻🔥💯%‼️
Fantastic performance!!! Not many people can do this song the justice that it deserves! Mission accomplished! Nice to see Whipper handling the beat!!!!
I noticed that too.
Verissimo, anche se la migliore versione, dopo quella di Jimi ovviamente, è quella di Clapton perché l'ha resa sua
Great version, made it his own. KWS is out there with the best. Blues Rock at its finest. Amazing!
Jay Leno's Demon 170 video brought me here. This is magic!
I don't know if it's me growing up in the city most of my life but I was not exposed to enough of Kenny wayne Shepard but, he's got a fan in me now. This is the purest and closest version I have heard done since SRV.
ferocious jam….one of the best renditions I have heard in a while….
i remember going to see KWS when he first started touring. he wasn't even legally old enough to be in the nightclub he was playing!! The Bottle Rockets opened up for him!! great show!!!!
Saw him when he was maybe 17 at Lupos in providence ri. Black strat. He was 👍🏻👍🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸
KWS big time blues man. Nice tribute performance.
This dude P L A Y S !!! Like he could give a shit how it is supposed to be ... he just goes out there and ROMPS on it. Such facility!
Kenny Wayne tore it up!
Jimmy would be proud of that performance.
And of his drummer.
he is the cleanest sounding guitarist I have ever heard.. just perfect
See him live when you can. He will blow your mind. I just saw him in Ann Arbor MI 3-15-23 at the Michigan theater there. He chooses to play small venues (1600 seats). What an artist!
1999 Lakewood Amphitheater ! With Greg Allman ! 3 Rd Row! Thanku!! Lol
If this was in Houston, I was there! Wow this show was AMAZING!!!
Only the KWSB pull this off. Fan since they were young.
Fkn guitar melted after this set.

Proof all the talent in the world cannot substitute good lyrics.
F'N EXPLOSIVE!!! NOBODY CAN DENY Kenny just made that Stratocaster his B**th Damn What a Performance!!!!WOW!!!!
Caught Mr. Shepherd in Monroe, Louisiana when I believe he was 15 or 16 yrs old... Still smoking!!
So nice to hear real guitar
He DID Jimi Hendrix proud! He NAILED IT! One of the best covers!
Holy. Goddamned. Fuck. Kenny, i have no words for this. Wicked only comes close. Man alive......
Kenny Wayne was the best concert I've seen in years. I'm still in awe
One of the best riffs ever. Could go on forever.
We take Drummers for Granted - how good is he FANTASTIC
Who in the world dislikes Kenny and this song!?!
NO ONE WHO MATTERS!
Saw it last week in New Hampshire, other worldly !!
Saw him in NH too. So incredible.
His tone is almost SPOT on .. wow !
I was gifted to see him in Buffalo, he came every summer for a while. Amazing talent.
a man's tone and control .. peace+love>
I've seen Kenny a few times in Peoria Illinois at the now vacant historic Madison Theatre for the Rock106 Christmas shows which callers could win tickets for
The band killed it each time
I remember I was playing drums w some guys and being really into Hendrix SRV and playing the blues at local open stage
I remember seeing Kenny and his band and feeling lucky to see a band that's carrying the Torch that Hendrix and SRV and the legends of Blues before them
I remember feeling the Blues were alive and well at the amadoson Theatre during those shows
I'm watching this from a packed homeless shelter in oregon w a smile on my face
Wish all the best to Kenny Noah and the band ❤
I still remember him closing his show at Caesar's Tahoe about almost 20 years ago.
He played and slayed us for over 20 minutes!
Fantastic guitar work "Oh Yea"
Wish I was there
How cool is that, I mean how f'in cool is that...
Thanks for this guys
Jimi and SRV rip
Jesus please us that was epic
Wish I could play like that👍🏽💯🔥
Its the best cover of the best cover of vodoo child
Best show I’ve ever seen. Lexington Kentucky 2023.
Rips the hell out of it. Excellent!
To me one of the hardest bars ever is “I stand up next a mountain, Chop it down with edge of my hand”. Epic. The transition into “The Power of Soul” was seamless. Very nice.
Outstanding camera work!
With 'Whipper' Layton behind the Kit no less! What else ya need man? Band is SLAMMIN"!
This reel just popped up on my media.. Where have these guys been. UNBELIEVABLE!
I’m having live music withdrawal! ♥️🕊☘️
I saw KWS play this when opening for Van Halen at the Hollywood Bowl in late 2015. It was truly one of THE major highlights of the night.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd treats all of his fans like best friends. I assure you that we are. Thank you guys!
I saw Jimi H play in Toronto. He was held up at customs. I was 16. 1975. I think. This dude is AMAZING. Brought back memories
Awesome. Kenny is one of the best players out there.
Good Blues.
Great rock and roll!
agreed, amazing technical player
Absolutely!!!
@@janicalightfoot5413 good blues? Lol. The dude exudes the light of Jesus Christ through a guitar. So I suppose it's "good blues". Hahaha. Probably the best to have ever played a strat.
Good to see Whipper still kicking all the ass! 👍👍👍
I've seen this song done ore an ore again but no one rocks it like jimmi an everyone does their best at it sweat and tears were shed on this performance I'm sure very well done Mr. Shepard thanx
Its always a trip to see a young musician grow up this hit hard ❤
KWS SAVED THE 90’s for rock and roll. I’m coming to see you AGAIN2021
That dude can play that guitar.
Pure talent. Jimi and Stevie, you gotta give credit when credit is due
Best riff, guitar song ever written. ✌️💜 to Hendricks n SRV and respect to Kenny for an awesome rendition!! 🤘🔥

He nailed this song, best version I ever listen too other than Jimi!
