Eric Burdon and Jimi on 16.9.1970

Wow, I didn't know that there's a tape of that gig. Do you think it's really Jimi there? I think I hear him playing some 'Drivin' South' licks in his solo at the end...

Well, definitely Jimi here: Mother Earth - I love that tune.

The tape has been around for ages. He played both those tunes sitting in with War and sharing an amp with War's guitarist Howard Scott.
The solo in Tobacco Road always makes my hair stand on end, like his Macxhine Gun solo. It is clean and awesome....and it's the last thing he played. The octave section, the Drivin' South licks.....it's a case study in guitar, IMO

Carly, I've never found it anywhere on LP, CD or any bootleg - and I've seen quite a bit of them in the last 20 years. This is southern germany, Bierzelt and Laugenbrezel-country. Hendrix is well known here too - for 'Hey Joe', 'Voodoo Chile' and 'All along the Watchtower', but that's it. Even many guitar players don't know BOG here, and if they do, many of them consider f.e. 'Machine Gun' a bunch of noise. That's why I'm hanging out here, with all of my remaining heart. Sorry, I had to say that at least once here in this section. Hope you don't mind.
I really dig all your knowlegde guys, and I especially dig your 'MG'-jam Carly, you're so much closer than I here.

These two tunes showed up on a bootleg many years ago.
Try and learn the Bit Torrent thing, as I always see it popping up. Here's a great one-

Yes there was quite an adversarial relationship between Howard Scott and Jimi on the first set he played with War, but the second set he played with them brought the great playing Carl describes. Many a guitar player greater than Howard Scott was intimidated by Jimi and choose even not to play if he was playing, iirc !
It's like what can I add to that??
The death of Hendrix was a great tragedy of course, but I believe the greatest tragedy is where Jimi would have taken his playing next and with him the guitar playing community. Yes Buddy Guy was an early influence on Jimi as I always read, so was Lightnin' Hopkins, ect. But Jimi took electric blues playing where Buddy never dreamed it could go.
Another great quality of Jimi was his willingness to jam with about anybody and listen to the other player, a rare quality, found in jazz players, but so rare in R&R.
