I don't know what you mean by hit 2 doses of montreal acid, but you're probably talking about Machine Gun. the first solo starts off with 2 sustained notes. he holds the first one long a fuck, and soon as that sinks in, he strums the other one and sustains it for ever longer. greatest 2 notes in guitar history. the solo starts around 4 minutes into the song. its a 12 minute jam. that song is the epitome of expression through sonic waves. its a live song he never recorded, there's a few live versions. the Isle Of Wight and Berkeley version with the Experience are great, but the Fillmore one with the Band Of Gypsys is the definitive one, and probably what you are referring to. it's improvised, it was a loose jam. it gives me goose bumps also. greatest live guitar solo ever, bar none. bar none... also, check out Who Knows, from the same concert. in your post you said you aren't much for funky, but Jimi will definitely change your mind with that song. live Jimi > studio Jimi shit, Led Zeppelin even scheduled their tours AROUND Jimi before he passed, they feared him lol. when Miles Davis heard that song, he immediately wanted to make music with Hendrix. they made plans for it, but Miles demanded 50g up front, so it didn't fall through. the other time, Miles gave Jimi some sheet music...Jimi just looked at it like what the fuck, I don't read music. but Miles fucking Davis and Jimi fucking Hendrix were going to record an entire album together, let that sink in....the best of jazz meets the best of blues.
wow. that would be like. wow. fuck. imagine that. no you can't, your head will implode. but yea, Black Moth Super Rainbow, next time i trip im definately gonna try and listen to that. they tripped me out when i was sober haha, great musicians
I love many of his studiorecordings very much as well, but if you want long psychedelic guitar jams live is where it's at indeed. Haha, I'm happy that you dig them! I'm pretty sure you like Earthless as well if you dig Tia Carrera. I saw them live and they got me spacing the entire show. Wasn't entirely sober though hehe.. Problem with a lot of his live albums is that many songs appear with different names or are cut in two on different (bootleg) albums. But I'll list some of Jimi's greatest jams: Jam292, all versions of this on bootleg albums are different takes, and they're all good. I especially like the one called Jelly 292 on the Blues album and a 6:40 version on an album called Raw blues (outtakes 1968-70), great sound quality! Villanova junction jam from the Raw blues album, almost 20 minutes of instrumental jam pleasure, and another take on the same album which is even 7 minutes longer Also, you need to get the Record plant jams . Especially the album with the 24 minute version of Drivin' south/Everything's gonna be alright. It will blow your mind for sure, haha. Yeah, I think I gonna listen to it right now actually! Other great jams on that album are the Drone blues and Night bird flying. Actually, all tracks are pretty groovy on the album I have, there's a nine minute jam called just instrumental jam on it as well (also known as Holywood jam). The record Plant jams are also released on an album called Lets drop some ludes & vomit with Jimi. I reckon that's the most handy way to download it
To overlook zeppelin as psychedelic is a horible mistake, the long drawn out episodes of moaning and weird guitar screeches... I remember walking downstairs in my house where we had 12 people completly tripping and each room had different music playing, and because of that, its own atmosphere.. my room had eric clapton playing acoustic and everyone was very calm and smiley, walking into my roommates room everything starts getting faster as the techno changes the light and the air runs thinner allowing you to move faster to the beat. people were having super fast conversations and everything was electric.... BUUTT the craziest part, was walking downstairs where a few buddies found my zeppelin dvd and whole lotta love was playing, I swear to you all now, the room was glowing dark red, everything i touched, even the air, was sticky, like if there was a coating of some weird plasmatic webbing over everything in that room. the people there where touching everything and the one girl in the hous had her hands in her pants as robert plant was moaning on the screen.... very intense... finally walking outside of the house into the sound of nature was the most powerful part, everything growing and dividing, and the sound of a friends wind symphony, music has so much influence on the mind, its a crazy thing
