Steve Vai invited Randy to celebrate Jimi Hendrix´80th birthday at The Moore Theater in Seattle on November 27th. Great performance. thanks for the edit to Arthur at singular vision.
Agreed.Saw SRV 3 times, even at the gorge in George 2 weeks before he died. Randy is God.....and I'm 65, play Jimi and was born in Seattle in 1958. Ps what happened to Scott and Liquid Rainbow? Last I saw him ,I bought some chronic hdro Afghanistan in magnolia back in 1987?
I agree, he’s performed and played Jimi’s music and also style better than anyone else. I suppose he is fairly well recognised for that. And yeah he deserves a Jimi Hendrix Logie type of award.
WRONG...... there ought, not be a lifetime achievement award. Only two ppl qualify for that. SRV or Robin Trower had the vibe. This guy doesn't. Anyone that would praise this guy does not know all of Jimi's catalog.
I've heard him say that he keeps a bassist and a drummer in Germany because he's got a legion of listeners in Europe; and he has, depending on their more steady careers, several drummers and bassists here in the States for the same reason. I remember seeing him in 1979 in Natasha's Pavilion in Bremerton, WA (an hour long ferry boat ride from Seattle) when he was releasing "Champagne And Cocaine." That album still smokes like the Marlboro Man. I have to say "Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush - Live" was second only, in terms of success, to Robin Trower in those times. In terms of holding string and true to the Jimi vibe genre - Randy held the fckn torch high.
Man, Randy seriously transformed into Jimi!! I mean, I know he is a Jimi tribute guitarist, but that was amazing!!!! I loved the Happy Birthday Jimi on the back of Randy's guitar. No doubt an important night for him and all Jimi fans everywhere. 80 years old. WOW. Jimi will always be frozen in youthful time.
Also gotta give Steve credit for bringing Randy out and letting him let loose- it's a testament to Steve's generosity and heart that he would do this- with his large following it's nice to see him bring an artist like this out and give exposure to his fans- Randy's been around for quite a while- well before Steve was a name even in Zappa's band- gotta love Steve for showing him off and showing his fans another fine talent.
I saw Randy play some 15 years ago and it was an one of the best shows I've ever been to. The best live renditions of all Jimi's songs you will ever experience. And when he starts singing you;ll be in f or a real surprise!!!
Saw Randy Hansen in Perth in 2016-he was brilliant. Unfortunately Jimi never toured Australia but Randy gave us an idea of what we missed. Hope he returns someday.
Where is the LOVE button?! I saw Randy Hansen's Machine Gun back in the late 70s and it is still one of the best live shows I've seen! These 2 together is just icing on the cake!
That's what I like about Steve Vai, he loves guitar so much that he doesn't feel threatened by bringing other great players on stage.. And this was old Randy.. Randy 10 or 20 years ago was a serious problem ! Still one of thee most underrated guitarist around !
Actually one of my favorite Jimi wailing guitar studio songs. Cool job. Saw Randy do a show of Hendrix,well actually saw many He’s the best at it. The Tower theater show was AMAZING! THANKS RANDY!!!
I saw Randy in a small club in Seattle in 94' and the dude killed it. Had a short conversation with him before the show and he was super cool. After the show I felt like I experienced a Hendrix concert.
When I first heard Randy Hansen and saw a video of him I thought it was a lost video of Jimi Hendrix until there was a close up I was so spooked and speechless it was almost as if he was channeling Jimmy through him there is no better Jimi Hendrix imitator then Randy Hansen. As a guitarist myself I'm 62 years old now I started when I was 14 and I have studied Hendrix up until this day and I can tell you with 1,000% confidence you have to see this man make it your bucket list he will blow your freaking mind.
I experienced Randy long ago in Hawaii,.this amazing, dedicated man with his profound respect for Jimi deserves much honor and recognition. Playing with Vai is just a start. Thank Randy..fly on ..fly on man. 🙏✌️♥️🇺🇸
Randy is one bad Mo Fo! The only guy on the planet that can Upstage Steve Vai on a Hendrix song. If this would have been a Head Cutting contest, Steve would be bleeding.
WOW! I saw Randy Hansen do his Hendrix tribute in this very same theater, back in 1978! The show started with the lights down low and a thick fog covering the stage. Then this guitar starts playing with some fast hammer ons, as "Jimi" slowly rises up from the grave. Then leaps up out of the mist and starts burning with Let Me Stand Next to Your Fire! JIMI!!
Hansen is beyond amazing. He opened for Heart in the 70s if anyone remembers and literally shocked the audience and Heart itself. I remember seeing Nancy Wilson shaking her head thinking there is no way to follow this. Eddie Van Halen was well aware of Hansen in the 70s but never let anyone else know because Randy overshadowed anyone else with his Hendrix show as a guitar player. Eddie actually looked kind of goofy after you had seen Hansen.
Randy got to meet Eddie, I think it was after a Van Halen concert in Seattle for a party for Van Halen after Van Halens first album came out. Randy said Eddie was a cool guy and very humble. I think they both admired each other. Both are very top notch guitar players.
Ed liked Hendrix but has often stated never was a big fan. No idea why u have the theory he would have felt threatened by a clone of someone. He was never a threat to Ed in anyway who had a much different, more original thing going.
@@justingibson508 They all deny ever being influenced by Hendrix Which makes them look a little goofy since all stole the his use of fifths, dive bombing,lead solo melodies within chord structures, and feedback harmonic techniques. Jimi was the first do this.
@@Zulumann25 "They all deny" lol. Who the countless guitarists and rock stars who praise Jimi? Next time before u type , write it out on paper, read it a few times, maybe show it to a cpl friends who will hopefully let u know ur retarded before hitting send.
You guys rock. Keep doing that ^^ Was a nice show yesterday in Augsburg. Nice talking to you guys! Will surely be back when ever the location allows it. Also nice talking to you all 3 and what an honor to meet Randy in person and have a chat with him! What an experience indeed. ------------------------- Nice Gig gestern in Augsburg ^^ Ich war der letzte Herr am Ende am Merch-Stand, dem du so freundlich die Hand gereicht hast, als ich erwähnt hatte dass es mein erstes Mal bei euch war. Hab auch ein T-Shirt mitgenommen. Und der bärtige Begleiter hatte mich gefragt ob ich den Drummer zwischen den beiden bärtigen Heeren erkenne 🙂 Vielleicht erinnerst du dich ja noch. Hatte dann noch paar Minuten mit Randy geplaudert. Absolut der Hammer, wie persönlich es bei euch zugeht! Werde auf jeden Fall wieder kommen, wenn es die Location erlaubt. Bis bald, hoffentlich 🙂
You know those albums that came out after his death are really good Crash Landing , Midnight Lightning , War Heroes , The Cry Of Love , Loose Ends , Nine To The Universe and In The Beginning theses all came out in the 70s you all should give them a listen to my favorite is nine to the universe 🟤
Wow, very interesting. The few clios I’ve seen of Randy, it’s always been entertaining but what really surprised me is how dialed in the guitar tones are here. This reminded me of an Yngwie interview from the late 80’s where he said he liked Vai and how he admired his abilities but thought his guitar sound was muddy. I guess most humbucker guitars would sound muddy next to a Strat but I could barely hear Vai here and Hansen really cut through. Very cool performance from the whole band. Thanks for the post!
I was going to post nearly the same thing- it's crazy how good a Marshall Plexi and 4x12 with a Strat will cut through the mix so well. Yngwie's G3 performance in Denver highlights that so well too- just phenomenal tone when a Strat is in a Marshall. When Yngwie played notes from backstage- he CRUSHED Joe and Steve's tone- not to slight them- they're savage players- but that tone that Yngwie had is very much like what Randy get's here. Just glorious and cuts through the mix SOOOOO well...
@@jahjah67 It's a 100 watt JMP Super Lead- so maybe not a "plexi" but come on- same basic circuit- you can see it up close here: th-cam.com/video/a5EpEdCV7tI/w-d-xo.html. Depends on what you consider a "Plexi" since Marshall never called them that- it's post 69 so probably not a plexiglass front panel- you're probably insisting all "plexi" amps are JTM45 or SuperLeads from 1969- It's definitely not a 80's JCM- he's not touring with anything in 2022 like that at all.
Hey Arthur - thanks for the edit. It´s good to see it from different angles. I hope we´ll meet next time, when i am in Seattle. Best regards from Germania.
...saw Randy Hansen way, way back in the day in an old movie theater in San Jose Ca..... Must have been 1979, or 80 maybe. Me and my friends didn't know what to expect but it was absolutely the best show I've ever seen. (and I've been to ALOT) He was running up and down the aisles, between seats, people were hitting his strings, the whole she-bang.
I remember pumping gas at 7-11 about 18 years ago in Skyway Washington on the way to band practice. I Had zero idea at the time what Randy Hansen looked like..but, I see this random dude pumping gas next to me and asked if he was Randy Hansen and he said yes. Had a short conversation. One of the coolest dudes ever met in my life. And a fellow guitar player...He wasn't dressed up or frilled out or anything but, I just felt like he may be Randy Hansen and was...
In that very spot where Randy is standing and performing here in Seattle's Paramount Theater I've seen Brian May, Randy Rhoads, Rick Nielsen, Jeff Beck, Buck Dharma, Kurt Cobain, Mark Lanegan, Rick Derringer, Joe Perry, Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil, Freddie Mercury, Yngwie Malmsteen, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Johnny Winter... And as soon as I add this to the comment thread more ... Jim Dandy and Black Oak Arkansas...! More great musicians I've seen in the Paramount Theater will come to mind... Deep Purple, Joe Satriani, Rush, Blue Oyster Cult, Steve Vai, Steve Earle, Steve Morse/Dixie Dregs, Allan Holdsworth, Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush. but Queen opening for Kansas was the first show I ever saw there. It's two days before Christmas and freezing here in Seattle right now. Everybody be safe. Let's be better and kinder to one another. Mark Lanegan, my friend, I miss you. Rest In Peace.
Sometime in the early 80s, we heard Hansen, Mitch Mitchell and Fernando Saunders play a club in DC. Played the whole 1983 Moon Turn the Tides sequence live.
Randy is hands down the best Hendrix impersonator. Nobody else comes close. Not even srv and I've seen both live
Someone said true . Srv is overated as a innovative guitarist. More like a copy of jimi with little twist
Agreed.Saw SRV 3 times, even at the gorge in George 2 weeks before he died. Randy is God.....and I'm 65, play Jimi and was born in Seattle in 1958. Ps what happened to Scott and Liquid Rainbow? Last I saw him ,I bought some chronic hdro Afghanistan in magnolia back in 1987?
BINGO! THEE BEST! Saw him in 1990 at Toads place New Haven Ct
Respect to Hansen, but there are others that come just as close th-cam.com/video/DwTjU-RbFR4/w-d-xo.html
SRV had his own style tho
There ought to be a lifetime achievement award for Randy Hansen for dedicating his life to Jimi Hendrix And doing a superior job at it😃
I agree, he’s performed and played Jimi’s music and also style better than anyone else.
I suppose he is fairly well recognised for that.
And yeah he deserves a Jimi Hendrix Logie type of award.
I only very recently heard of this cat. How's that possible? 😳
I saw Randy back in the early 80’s. He is freaking amazing. So much so there are times I prefer watching him to Hendrix himself.
Totally totally totally agreed !! Indeed, He ought to get 5 of them for doing so !! Multi-Colored Gyspy's Play on !!
WRONG...... there ought, not be a lifetime achievement award. Only two ppl qualify for that. SRV or Robin Trower had the vibe. This guy doesn't. Anyone that would praise this guy does not know all of Jimi's catalog.
Nice to see Randy getting some recognition after 50 years !
Hansen’s ability to channel Hendrix is almost otherworldly at times.
word!
Exactly!
@@josephesposito3499Hansen born on November 27, Seattle. Hendrix born on November 27, Seattle.
Steve is a class act for giving Randy his due
The Randy Hansen experience is probably the best tribute to Jimi Hendrix. He does such an amazing job.
The only guy who can say he was in New Band of Gypsies with Billy Cox and Buddy Miles...toured Europe
@@BladeHudson That's a fact.
👍💯🎸✨
Randy is the best, he captures the spirit of Jimi like no one else.
Randy is awesome indeed.
Steve is such a cool guy to play with Randy. Randy deserves this.
BINGO! Saw him in 1990 at Toads place New Haven Ct
I am beyond proud in a healthy way that I was chosen by him to accompany him as a bassplayer in 2017. He is outerwordly 💜💜💜💜❤️🔥💜💜💜💜
Yo - danke noch mal für die spontane Vertretung. Vom Drumtech zum Bassisten ist es manchmal nur ein kleiner Schritt 🙂
@@ufowalter in der Tat yo 💜 erst der shoutout von Steve Vai, dann dies hier. Many more moons to you, Ufo 🥂💜🔊
I've heard him say that he keeps a bassist and a drummer in Germany because he's got a legion of listeners in Europe; and he has, depending on their more steady careers, several drummers and bassists here in the States for the same reason.

In terms of holding string and true to the Jimi vibe genre - Randy held the fckn torch high.
Vai seems like a class act - inviting Randy back out for the final bow and audience selfie.
RANDY is just AWESOME! THX for keeping JIMI's SPIRIT and LEGACY a l i v e ! ❤
Man, Randy seriously transformed into Jimi!! I mean, I know he is a Jimi tribute guitarist, but that was amazing!!!! I loved the Happy Birthday Jimi on the back of Randy's guitar. No doubt an important night for him and all Jimi fans everywhere. 80 years old. WOW. Jimi will always be frozen in youthful time.
Saw Randy in 1990 at Toads Place New Haven Ct. Randy is every bit as great as Hendrix. No one is as dynamic as him
Randy Hansen is amazing and that's clearly exampled when he is invited by Steve Vai to share the stage
It should have been the other way around on any Hendrix song they did, but Vai had the gig!
Also gotta give Steve credit for bringing Randy out and letting him let loose- it's a testament to Steve's generosity and heart that he would do this- with his large following it's nice to see him bring an artist like this out and give exposure to his fans- Randy's been around for quite a while- well before Steve was a name even in Zappa's band- gotta love Steve for showing him off and showing his fans another fine talent.
I have no words, Randy is a holy monster! Jimi should be proud, his legacy is alive!
"Randy is unbelievable guitar player and performer"
I saw Randy play some 15 years ago and it was an one of the best shows I've ever been to. The best live renditions of all Jimi's songs you will ever experience. And when he starts singing you;ll be in f or a real surprise!!!
I saw Randy in the mid 70's and he blew me away then. Incredible talent and nice person too.
Randy nails that Hendrix tone and playing.
Jimi deserves to have such talented disciple
Saw Randy Hansen in Perth in 2016-he was brilliant. Unfortunately Jimi never toured Australia but Randy gave us an idea of what we missed. Hope he returns someday.
"Randy really puts everything into his playing"
I saw Randy play a small bar in Eugene Oregon in about 1977. Was a fantastic show even then.
Has the closest tone and feel out of all the Hendrix players.
No doubt. You can almost see in some of his more advanced techniques that Jimi might have evolved to!! Pretty amazing how he channels the master.
Frank Marino comes pretty darned close himself!!
@@jamesedwards2237 As does Robin Trower !!!
@@paullevine1813 Eddie Hazel was amazing. Jeff Healy could rip it out too.Robin Trower had great vibrato and tone.
Listening to this, I had a deja vu feeling back to the first time I listened to the Woodstock album in 1970.
I wish they would have let him perform and sing "machine gun" He would have stole the show..... Randy Hansen is super super underrated😎😎😎😎
Steve Vai seems humbled by Randy. I love them both dearly
Where is the LOVE button?! I saw Randy Hansen's Machine Gun back in the late 70s and it is still one of the best live shows I've seen! These 2 together is just icing on the cake!
An Incredible Rendition! I've Seen Randy Hansen Many Times In Concert During The 80's. The Song MIDNIGHT Is From The Out Of Print Album WAR HEROES.
That's what I like about Steve Vai, he loves guitar so much that he doesn't feel threatened by bringing other great players on stage.. And this was old Randy.. Randy 10 or 20 years ago was a serious problem ! Still one of thee most underrated guitarist around !
Jimi Hendrix was in the audience and was yelling RANDY!! The man IS electric!
Actually one of my favorite Jimi wailing guitar studio songs. Cool job. Saw Randy do a show of Hendrix,well actually saw many He’s the best at it. The Tower theater show was AMAZING! THANKS RANDY!!!

Hi Iggy - thanks for your nice comment. I agree, i´m touring with Randy since nearly 25 years and i still can´t believe how good he is.
@@ufowalter God bless you and Randy
Randy is by far thr best Hendrix emulator on the planet!

Beautiful. Randy is as great as Hendrix
Yep, Randy is amazing. Got to see him twice in the 70's. Beast!!
Superb Jam, Randy has a Direct channel to Jimi soon as he hits his first note. 👏
Randy rockin' a fabulous suit. Love you Steve. Love you Randy.
Thank You so much !
It looks like RANDY has a left hand GUITAR strung right handed (EXACTLY opposite of JIMI HENDRIX) how COOL is that!!!!........….... NICHOLAOS of TIME!
I'd like to go back to 74..god bless my friend..
Randy is one bad Mo Fo! The only guy on the planet that can Upstage Steve Vai on a Hendrix song. If this would have been a Head Cutting contest, Steve would be bleeding.

WOOWWW I GOT CHILLS WHEN RANDY SPUN THAT STRAT!!
GREAT VIDEO, THANK YOU!!!

I’m so glad I’ve seen Randy perform twice! ❤
Wow! Blows Steve Vai off the stage! Ha Ha Ha!
Randy is still The man, GENIUS!!
He amazing gotta see this guy
Saw Randy in Tucson 1981. Blew my mind. Dude was awesome then and now. Damn.
Fun times in Texas! Randy is a showman like no other...except that guy named Jimi.
randy puts on a heckuva show!
Love from Greece! Saw you guys in Netherlands, I came from Greece just for you guys for the night in Heerlen!! Love you all,amazing music!
Wow - that´s a long trip. Are you back in Greece? My favorite country to travel to. I´ve got good friends in Crete.
Fantastic! Was so great to talk to Randy for DW's report about Jimi Hendrix 80. All the very best from Berlin!
Randy ❤
Saw him three times. Going every time when its in area. Randy is the Soul Brother of Jimi!
Randy Hansen and The pick flip in perfect timing. Wow. Awesome!!!
Two masters doing the work of a passed master. Priceless!
You know those albums that came out after his death are really good Crash Landing , Midnight Lightning , War Heroes , The Cry Of Love , Loose Ends , Nine To The Universe and In The Beginning theses all came out in the 70s you all should give them a listen to my favorite is nine to the universe 🟤
Wow, very interesting. The few clios I’ve seen of Randy, it’s always been entertaining but what really surprised me is how dialed in the guitar tones are here. This reminded me of an Yngwie interview from the late 80’s where he said he liked Vai and how he admired his abilities but thought his guitar sound was muddy. I guess most humbucker guitars would sound muddy next to a Strat but I could barely hear Vai here and Hansen really cut through. Very cool performance from the whole band. Thanks for the post!
Yeah, the strat really did cut through amazingly!!!
I was going to post nearly the same thing- it's crazy how good a Marshall Plexi and 4x12 with a Strat will cut through the mix so well. Yngwie's G3 performance in Denver highlights that so well too- just phenomenal tone when a Strat is in a Marshall. When Yngwie played notes from backstage- he CRUSHED Joe and Steve's tone- not to slight them- they're savage players- but that tone that Yngwie had is very much like what Randy get's here. Just glorious and cuts through the mix SOOOOO well...

This is as close as you're gonna get to Jimi jamming with Steve. As great as Vai is, Hendrix was a force of nature and he lives through Randy!

Awesome!
Thank you so much for dropping this!!! Definitely 2 of my absolute favorites rippin' it. ;8)

So cool of Steve Vai to bring out RANDY HANSEN.
Wow amazing 👍
I'd love to see FRANK MARINO on that stage!

And as soon as I add this to the comment thread more ... Jim Dandy and Black Oak Arkansas...! More great musicians I've seen in the Paramount Theater will come to mind... Deep Purple, Joe Satriani, Rush, Blue Oyster Cult, Steve Vai, Steve Earle, Steve Morse/Dixie Dregs, Allan Holdsworth, Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush. but Queen opening for Kansas was the first show I ever saw there. It's two days before Christmas and freezing here in Seattle right now. Everybody be safe. Let's be better and kinder to one another. Mark Lanegan, my friend, I miss you. Rest In Peace.
Salute!
I saw Randy live in Oberhausen fantastic guy and he was looouuuud
