The next team entrance song at Kyle is a cover of an old ABBA tune.

Watch out for the train and enjoy.

Unsuspecting performance but their lead singer is incredibly gifted

And yes, his original versions of Little Wing and Voodoo Child are better than SRV.
Hendrix is the GOAT but SRV's Little Wing cover is far superior to Jimi's original. Put headphones on and crank that up if you haven't already. It's a life changing experience.

That's awesome. I just read his book. It's fascinating.

Here's one from my list.

Exactly. Never understood why people prefer the SRV versions of those. Little Wing is such an amazing song, not only because of the amazing guitar and song itself, but because it hits all the notes then ends.


My only complaint about Jimi's Little Wing is that it is so short. I usually listen to it like 3 times in a row.


You can thank Chas Chandler, the producer, for that. Jimi's first take was a four minute version. Chas said it's too long. So Jimi did a much shorter second take. Chas said perfect and they moved on to the next song.

Jimi's version at Royal Albert Hall is probably the best live version I've heard. Jimi did not play Little Wing very often in concert. Not sure why.

I heard a Ska version of Earl had to die (or whatever that dixie chicks song was).

It was good. Only way I would have listened to the song.
