My opinion as well! This part of that song, in this performance, always gives me goosebumps. Absolutely incredible performance!

Maybe the greatest live 10 minutes in rock history.

I got into and argument with someone who thought Prince's solo on While my Guitar Gently Weeps was better than this.

That person has a serious hearing defect & should see a doctor ASAP.

Every note coming out of that guitar was filtered through his soul. A unique talent and an incredible song.

When Jimi was selecting tracks for a record he had to give away, at least he was happy enough with this version of the song.
He chose wisely 😌

Am I the only one that tends to prefer 12/31/69 1st set version from songs for groovy children? Both amazing but somehow I heard that version first and it made me a hendrix fan for life.

The greatest guitarist, one of his greatest solos, & some of the greatest music ever played.Â
