As a 40+ year Guitarist & IMMENSE Hendrix fan?....Randy is the true blue closest to Hendrix I've ever heard..The man deserves SOOOOOO much more recognition!!!!
I totally agree ! Been into Jimi for 53 years now, afellow guitarist, and Randy does Jimi true justice, thank gawd somebody does. "Oh Janie" damn. Oh well.... I Never feel put off,turned off by Randy's playing of tribute to Jimi. Play on Rando !
There was about 25000 people watching him when he opened up for Richie Blackmore's rainbow At the cow palace, I think around 1980 Maybe 1981? And he tore the roof off the place. And I am Richie Blackmore fanatic.
I hope I don't get the guy in trouble it was over 40 years ago. I was in the front row and I and I could have swore he had shoe Polish on his face. And I wasn't taken any hard drugs.
I live in the UK and travelled too Europe to see Randy, he is amazing and in a different league to anyone else. The tragedy is, why is he not playing to massive stadiums? he’s that great.
Jimi must be smilin above! His music lives on thru Randy. Randy knew his calling at age 14! He started learning Hendrix tunes at that age! Great tribute Randy, the closest we get to Jimi himself!
there has yet anyone, in my opinion that does jimi the way randy does....randy has his heart, soul and life into it...and don't forget that he's been doing jimi since the 70's ? the man is outstanding and his band members are outstanding as well ! to the critics out there......they wish they could even touch this.....give credit to randy as he is the real thing........to all jimi fans......hat's off !
Agree with your words. Randy helps to keep Jimi’s alive, he makes everything perfect. The vocals, solos, effects, playing with the teeth, everything. A little jealousy for living in Brazil and never get the chance to see him in a concert like this😉
The Flinstones theme! Jimi would've loved this... Randy Hansen working overtime to spread the Electric Lady Gospel over the Rainbow Bridge! Go Randy go!

I remember doing these kinds of birthday gigs in New Hampshire back in the 90s. The man is the best of the true workhorse power rockers; decade after decade and no matter the size of the room, he's there and killing it every goddamn time. Jimi must love this guy like no one else.
@@broadswordvideo Definitely gave me a lift after all these months in lockdown. Brought me back to a much simpler time in my own life. Watched the whole thing and loved it.
I saw Jimi too times 68 at the Hollywood bowl and the la form if he lived he'd be 78 i wonder. What more he could have given us. He was the greatest. w
@@stephencreager2868 He was the greatest innovator and most creative, guitarist ever! But I think Randy puts on a better live show, although I think some Hendrix performances can`t be topped by anyone. Johnny B. Goode @ Berkely is a good example...
Without a doubt the only guitarist who could play Jimi's music with the same God-like feel that the master himself created...seen him 100 times, best nights of my life!!! FIYAH!!!!!!!! haha
Mucho Respect out to The Randy Hansen Band and their TRIBUTE to all that is GOOD...Jimi never left US, as WE can see and hear...I can remember then, and Live in the Now...Warren (22)
Just discovered Randy, I'm blown away that not only does he play exactly like Jimi but his voice sounds so close too! I'd love to see him if he comes to the UK in the future
Also, great kudos' to the bassist and drummer for a terrific job on these classic tunes. Randy you picked some terrific partners! Thanks for your great memories and talented musicians!
Ich stand in den 90er bei einem Konzert in Dortmund neben den Boxen und war euphorisiert. Das klingeln verzog sich die Begeisterung blieb - ein virtouser Epigone und Interpret. Long live Randy and his talent.
52 years later. We honor the best of the best and going strong. Much love from Chiraq. We Love JMH FOREVER. Randy As well. Happy birthday and Outstanding Show.
he is the best..no one come close to jimmy,,always something missing..but he got the looks..after jimmy a lot of drugs true the years,,for sure the play and def the voice,,so of all ya covers out there ransy is da man
this guy is amazing; it's one thing to sound like Hendrix on the guitar but sound like him singing?? And he doesn't seem to take himself too seriously. It's a shame the crowd is not larger but it's a great video anyway; destined to be one of my favorites. 👍👍👍
Met him outside of Seattle at a gig took the time after the show to hang with people and chat super nice guy no Aires and as far as his abilities carries the torch so well outstanding would/will fly 1800 miles to see him again anytime
He is playing Hendrix but is endlessly creative and free as a bird at the same time. First time I saw him my thought was Jimmy himself could see this guy and know what it is like to see it done at his best.. It is real
Randy hope you will doing it for many years ahead!! I love you really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please if it will be possible in the future to come to Greece this will be maybe my most amazing experience ever!!
Ha...the Flintstones at 3:20....awesome. Randy played a gig for us at his house....unreal, great time with this kickass player. Thanks for posting this buddy. Hope to see Randy and the boys again soon!
He doesn't give a damn about these lawnchair jockeys.They only get off him playing the "Flinstones" but his pure joy in channeling Jimi is way beyond them who haven't been EXPERIENCED.
Awesome sound and video, especially given it is in the middle of a field! Thank you for posting. Would have been unreal to be in that crowd, no pushing, shoving and just awesome Marshall Plexi rock by the best "Jimi" at a decent volume! :)
@@broadswordvideo Will be seeing him September 25th at Blue Frog Studios White Rock BC. After two cancellations, the first time he had appendicitis, and the second cancelled due to Covid gatherings.
Audience so so LAME and uninvolved. They are witnessing at a minimum tens of thousands of hours of practicing and some great phrase to phrase improv on a solid base of Hendrix legacy. The showmanship is OK but not really needed: let the music speak.
Its as though the Gods sent and Oracle to bring us a message and also sent a messenger to make sure the ocracle's message would survive if the oracale died. Amazing. Its like Jimi incarnate.
As a 40+ year Guitarist & IMMENSE Hendrix fan?....Randy is the true blue closest to Hendrix I've ever heard..The man deserves SOOOOOO much more recognition!!!!
He has a Grammy for work he did on Apocalypse Now
I 'm entirely alright with you 👍 !
He is the best thing since Hendrix, lol!
I agree! I think maybe a 2nd place might go to Frank Marino. IMHO.
I totally agree ! Been into Jimi for 53 years now, afellow guitarist, and Randy does Jimi true justice, thank gawd somebody does. "Oh Janie" damn. Oh well.... I Never feel put off,turned off by Randy's playing of tribute to Jimi. Play on Rando !
I do not think this audience really knew what to do with Randy. Randy got paid and did what he LOVES to do. WOW

You witness real talent when you see him he defiantly has a gift.
I hope I don't get the guy in trouble it was over 40 years ago. I was in the front row and I and I could have swore he had shoe Polish on his face. And I wasn't taken any hard drugs.
@@darrenlay3198 he is fairly dark complected.
@@darrenlay3198 He did.
well, that was very enjoyable as always, he digs what he does!
This dudes been creating great sounds his whole life,. Much respect.
A falta de Hendrix,es una buena y maravillosa remembranza,voz sonido y vestimenta, bien por Randy!!!!!.
I live in the UK and travelled too Europe to see Randy, he is amazing and in a different league to anyone else. The tragedy is, why is he not playing to massive stadiums? he’s that great.
wish he'd come to the UK
@@Splendid_Rush me too. If I ever win the lotto, I'm paying him to come over!
Holy $#!t! Randy is the man! Sorry, Jimi, lol! Fucking amazing he can play Hendrix note for note!
The reason why is because if that happened, the U.S. government would have to execute him too for not being white. The U.S.A. SUCKS!!!
cause its cover tunes......he awesome. great show. Crowd in this vid is joke.... and he dont give a shit'!
Jimi must be smilin above! His music lives on thru Randy. Randy knew his calling at age 14! He started learning Hendrix tunes at that age! Great tribute Randy, the closest we get to Jimi himself!
Jimi's music will "live on" without anyone's help. Trust me on that? LMAO As Jimi once said, "Once you're dead, you're made.... for life" Deep! Huh?
I love Randy! The spirit of Hendrix lives DEEP in him!
The Spirit is strong in this one.
That it does.
Hey 👋 yes 👍
Wow, this guy is a great performer in every sense of the word. Lots of dedication to his craft here. Great band backing as well.
Sir Randy has been doing Sir Jimi since the 70's- he been playing since he was young- Electric Church Is Alive Glowing Energy- so Keep On Truckin
there has yet anyone, in my opinion that does jimi the way randy does....randy has his heart, soul and life into it...and don't forget that he's been doing jimi since the 70's ? the man is outstanding and his band members are outstanding as well ! to the critics out there......they wish they could even touch this.....give credit to randy as he is the real thing........to all jimi fans......hat's off !
As a life long Hendrix fan, I Randy is the best & the closest we can get to seeing Jimi Live!
Love Randy...Keepn Jimi alive🤙😁
Guitar master. Smashes watchtower.
Fantastic Man , living legend 👏
Randy Hanson and his bandmates put one of the best shows on planet Earth - thx Randy and Co.
unbelievable!!
Unbelievable. Some of the most extraordinary live music ever made. The entire band is on fire.
Agree with your words. Randy helps to keep Jimi’s alive, he makes everything perfect. The vocals, solos, effects, playing with the teeth, everything. A little jealousy for living in Brazil and never get the chance to see him in a concert like this😉
I saw him open for Heart in Hawaii in 1977. I was 17 and it was awesome
This is Heart breaking to see this 'Legend in his own right', performing for just a handful of spectators..
I’m more impressed with how much his vocals me voice in general sounds like Jimi. Good to hear someone still playin the good stuff.
This guy is the best. Wish I could see him. These people don't realize who they are seeing. This is a fabulous show!!!!!!

If Jimi was still alive, I would hope that he could still put on a performance like this.
Long live to Randy Hansen to make Jimi Hendrix alive with Us! The very best
There is a spirit to playing Jimi's songs well, and Randy's the best! Honorable mention to Dani Robinson RIP.
Also, great kudos' to the bassist and drummer for a terrific job on these classic tunes. Randy you picked some terrific partners! Thanks for your great memories and talented musicians!
Excellent performance by all Randy is on his game that was a lot of fun!
Randy Hansen, is ffing scary as a musician! Hats off to him!!!

That took my time and was worth the drive. Awesome totally Jimi is smiling
What a great guitar player !!! He's under rated ! One of the best i've ever seen and heard incredible !!!!
He is so great yet so humble :) You deserve success Randy !
Randy has always been a humble person . He knows where that great skill comes from. Practice 😝
Great sounds, great performers, great people❤. And oh yes, great Hendrix covering.
if you close your eyes, you think it's the original JMH. Amazing!
52 years later. We honor the best of the best and going strong. Much love from Chiraq. We Love JMH FOREVER. Randy As well. Happy birthday and Outstanding Show.
You'r the best just after Jimi !!
I saw him in 1991 at the Jimmy Hendrix Tribute in Cologne, Germany. Still going - amazing...
he is the best..no one come close to jimmy,,always something missing..but he got the looks..after jimmy a lot of drugs true the years,,for sure the play and def the voice,,so of all ya covers out there ransy is da man
Randy definitely does Jimi's music justice and he has big hands just like Jimi able to use his thumb with ease like the master RIP Jimi ❤️🔥🙏
BLOWN TOTALLY AWAYEEEEE

Show Randy some respect.
Bless you Randy Hansen!
I thought it was jimi I was listening to this on the way in I was shocked when I looked and seen it was randy awsome job
He is playing Hendrix but is endlessly creative and free as a bird at the same time. First time I saw him my thought was Jimmy himself could see this guy and know what it is like to see it done at his best..
It is real
Jimi*
I saw Randy in New Zealand several years ago. Very impressive indeed!
Yes he is fab .ihope things work out next year randy cova free iwant to see u catch them plecks. 😷🙏✌🎶🎼
Respect. Thankyou for sharing
Randy hope you will doing it for many years ahead!! I love you really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please if it will be possible in the future to come to Greece this will be maybe my most amazing experience ever!!
30 years playing.. I seen a lot of people try to cover hendrix but this guy is the best wow.. Cleaner version of Hendrix.. Well done!!
My first concert, I was 15 1979! Nevada City California
I love Randy....this will be a fun 100 minutes!! Thanks for uploading this!!
The audience can be stoned and gazing on in admiration but not sitting like fat puddings. Hats off to Randy for performing to that level!
Thank you for the most creative comment I've ever received on my channel
Thanks for the smile.
@@broadswordvideo I aim to please :) Hardly my crowning glory moment, though ;)
Seen him twice in the 70's. So good. Hi Kevin A.
One of the best around!😎
Great consert
Randy is awesome
ENJOY YOUR PLAYIN' RANDY!! IN HENDRIX STYLE , BUT YOUR OWN THING!!!
Exactly. He's talented enough to do more of his own material. 🎸🔥
I agree with you 100%. Where's the real RH vibe not Jimi's vibe? I ask that as a life long huge fan of Jimi Hendrix and guitarists in general.
I think I hear a touch of Stevie and Eddie in Randy's playing as well.
we recollect how Jimi changed the landscape from low velocity folk music to this! way to go Randy!
he lives it
Ha...the Flintstones at 3:20....awesome. Randy played a gig for us at his house....unreal, great time with this kickass player. Thanks for posting this buddy. Hope to see Randy and the boys again soon!
Let me stand next to your yabba-dabba-doo, baby! 🔥
He doesn't give a damn about these lawnchair jockeys.They only get off him playing the "Flinstones" but his pure joy in channeling Jimi is way beyond them who haven't been EXPERIENCED.
THANKS FOR SHARING HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAN AND THANKS RANDY THIS IS AWESOME VERY MUCH ON FIRE AS ALWAYS LOVE FROM TEXAS...
Stop yelling
Damn, it's been a minute since I've witnessed the magic. It doesn't look like Randy's lost anything at all!! Good to see in this fucked up world....
No doubt, DeadEye...
Randy when will you play Ireland cause I and my friends will be front row air guitars up to eleven not necessary stoned but beautiful 🤘
they don't make them like they used to ..........this is SSSOOOOEEEEE. AUTHENTIC. !OMGGGGGGGEEEEE
Randy you still bring A😎Game ✌️
I’ve been a fan of Randy for over 40 years. Hands down, Hanson is in the same league as SRV and Trower.
Awesome sound and video, especially given it is in the middle of a field!
Thank you for posting.
Would have been unreal to be in that crowd, no pushing, shoving and just awesome Marshall Plexi rock by the best "Jimi" at a decent volume! :)
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!
Un grande
Randy Hansen, this is the best re-creation I've ever heard. Fcking thank you.
WITH RANDY KEEPIN' JIMI'S MUSIC ALIVE HE ALSO KEEPS THE BLUES ALIVE!!
....Machine Gun...the crowd are dead in their camping chairs...bummer cause Randy is really ON
Most of them have no idea who or how good he is.
@@broadswordvideo It must be among Randy’s top 5 performances on y tube.Wwell done ✌️
Move over Rover, & let Randy improvise over.
I don`t know anyone who puts on a better show than Randy, not since Hendrix anyway...
espetacular!
Amazing that crowd isn't bigger!
Man, even Randy's stage banter sounds just like Jimi. He's not an imitator, nor a performer... he's a reincarnation.
Never fails to plz ..
Randy is the only guy I would recommend as a substitute for seeing Hendrix
I agree there are way too many tribute bands now days that barely cut it. Randy however channels Jimmi and adds his own spice.
Julijan Eric nails Jimi's tone and feel pretty well also,check him out!
This is the best, not a total imitation, Randy has some of his own elements also, bet Hendrix would have dug this performance
I agree he adds his own flavor and channels Jimi at the same time.

That crowd is awful! This man reproduces Jimi Hendrix better than anyone! I would pay $1,000 to see him play live!
