Uli Roth - Hendrix Happening
"Well if you downloaded my last post and took the time to read the text you knowA Jobe ‘Birthday’ Special
I'm a big fan of this guy. So today marks 45 years since the master has been gone.
I've proably told this story before, but (and if you don't give a fuck just scroll down
to the link) When I was a wee lad but coming of age I listened to mostly Elvis,
The Monkees, and (some) Beatles. Well I certainly wasn't one of the hip, cool,
or with it people. Not that I give a shit now. My neighbor, whom was cool and
hip pretty much had to spend time with me when his parents would make him
come home for dinner. So to pass the time we would throw a football around,
talk about girls (of which we both knew nothing about) and just generally shoot
the shit. Well one day while we were talking about stuff he produces three albums
that he had recently bought or stole, I don't remember. But the three we are talking
about here were Iron Butterfly-In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, Steppenwolf's first and
Jimi Hendrix's Smash Hits. When he played them for me that was the day (for me)
the world went from black and white to color. So that's kinda how this whole
venture started for me. Next time I'm reminiscing I'll tell you about the time I
went with my mom to our local K-Mart and spent my allowance on The Doors
Strange Days of whick my mom told me "Don't let your dad see that”
He was super oppressive.
So here's a nice tribute to Jimi from Uli who passed away on this day in 1970.
Also it is the day of my birth some seventy years ago.
Not a bad sounding audience source here and since the scans are kinda hard
to read the songs are as follows?"
1.Voodoo Chile
2.If Six Was Nine
3.Spanish Castle Magic
4.Gypsy Eyes
5.Little Wing
6.Bold As Love
7.All Along The Watchtower
8.Wind Cries Mary
9.Who Knows
10.Message To Love
11.Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)
12.Star Spangled Banner
13.Instrumental
Now as anyone paying attention knows I have largely stopped sharing audience recordings as there is such a plethora of soundboards and better that it is rarely worth it, yet this is intriguing enough and Brother Jobe shares enough of a personal anecdote to make it still more fascinating. I knew nothing about Roth until the guys shared stuff and this has to be worth exploring . . . . . oh and it's his birthday I think!
Thank you brother
