''1983'' but there are many more.

― Julio Desouza, Monday, 29 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Burning of the Midnight Lamp" has got to be the best thing he ever did...

― Joe, Monday, 29 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Manic Depression

― V, Monday, 29 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh yeah, the other reason why Band of Gypsies is great. Buddy=better singer than Jimi. He's got the soul scream!

― Jordan, Monday, 29 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

'Little Wing'. Beautiful melody, stunning delicate guitar throughout and really short. Perfect.

― mms, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

'Rainy Day Dream Away' or whatever it's called - it's got a nice, relaxed groove throughout, but it's all about that suspended cadence, followed by the solo...

Also it has rainy in the title!

― Jeff W, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I was gonna say Third Rock From The Sun (ignore the ads) but reading through the myriad suggestions has made me reconsider, loads of great stuff. Except for Crosstown Traffic I got heartily sick of that about 4-5 years ago when its was played by every DJ everywhere if they wanted to show how "eclectic" they were. Bored now.

The Jim Morrison thing is also on a bootleg called "Woke Up this Mornign And Found Myself Dead". I lvoe the bit where Jimi asks someone to remove Jimbo's comatose drunk body.

― Winkelmann, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Drifting". Or possibly "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)".

― sundar subramanian, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"I Don't Live Today" off of The Concerts.

― dan, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Little Wing' for all the reasons mms said plus the fact that the lyrics never get embarassing

― ejad, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"1983" or "I Don't Live Today".

― o. nate, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

'Drivin' South' - BBC session

― the pinefox, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Argh.

Machine Gun live at the Filmore with the Gypsies (can't say which version tho) over Wait Till Tommorrow.

― Roger Fascist, Friday, 2 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

six months pass...

'Voodoo Chile (slight return)' but I still have great affection for 'Wild Thing' at Monterey.

― James Ball (James Ball), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 12:19 (twenty-three years ago)

manic depression

― A Nairn (moretap), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 15:55 (twenty-three years ago)

that one where he's standing next to mountain chop it down with the edge of my hand

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 15:59 (twenty-three years ago)

and buddy miles is great, especially on his solo stuff

he was going for that invisibly funky al jackson thing, he wasn't trying to be flashy

bu yeah, mitchell suited hendrix better

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 16:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Another vote for "1983". And second to that I would have to say "May This be Love". The latter has one of the most gorgeous guitar solos that I've ever heard.

― Benya, Wednesday, 5 February 2003 17:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Manic Depression has a good churning riff and some nice lyrics (I know Jimi is supposed to be this awful lyricist, but I've never understood that), but I'll have to go with Stone Free. It just sounds so damned uber-cool and smooth.

― Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 18:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Manic Depression & Stone Free

Mitch Mitchell WAY over Buddy Miles!

― CretanBull (CretanBull), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 21:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Only one? I can't do it...how 'bout, uh, five?

"Power of Soul"
"Third Stone from the Sun"
"Dolly Dagger"
"1983 (A Merman I Shall Be)"
"Manic Depression"

One of my favorite songwritahs evah!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 21:11 (twenty-three years ago)

manic depression has got to be one of the most uplifting songs about such a downer subject.

― dyson (dyson), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 21:27 (twenty-three years ago)

one year passes...

if 6 was 9, simply because it was used in one of the greatest movies of all time....Point Break.

― Chris 'The Velvet Bingo' V (Chris V), Monday, 7 June 2004 11:45 (twenty-two years ago)

OTM Dave, buddy is kinda like questlove excepe questlove is even worse, and more drum machine on snooze-like. hendrix and mitch needed each other.

― thesplooge (thesplooge), Monday, 7 June 2004 12:32 (twenty-two years ago)

OPO what: LP or song?

LP: Are You Experienced?, simply because it's got the best collection of songs (as opposed to "compositions" or "sonic experiments" or "mere riffs disguised as songs") the man ever wrote. (His other LPs had good songs too, just not as many as AYE?)

Song: "Machine Gun"

And I've never understood all the "Mitch Mitchell vs. Buddy Miles: Who Was Better?" handwringing debates myself. They were BOTH great, only different. People have their preferences, that's all. To say that Mitchell was flashier but Miles was funkier is a simplification but a reasonably accurate one. (FWIW, I prefer Mitchell.)

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Monday, 7 June 2004 18:09 (twenty-two years ago)

seven years pass...

Fillmore East is so fucking beautiful and sick

― unlistenable in philly (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Saturday, 7 January 2012 17:50 (fourteen years ago)

he comes out, congratulates the USC Trojans for winning their bowl game to which the audience gives some really weak applause, and then he just gets fucking revolutionary all night

― unlistenable in philly (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Saturday, 7 January 2012 17:52 (fourteen years ago)

Room Full of Mirrors

― Iago Galdston, Saturday, 7 January 2012 18:05 (fourteen years ago)

"Voodoo Chile" -- the longer jam session version with Casady and Winwood

― Steamtable Willie (WmC), Saturday, 7 January 2012 18:12 (fourteen years ago)

"Castles Made of Sand", followed closely by "Manic Depression", "Burning of the Midnight Lamp", "Love or Confusion", "1983", "Wind Cries Mary"...

and that's not even any of the badass blues stuff he did

― Blah Sabbath (Drugs A. Money), Saturday, 7 January 2012 19:02 (fourteen years ago)

in some ways i think i'd go with "Bold As Love"

― Thug Luftwaffle (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 7 January 2012 21:32 (fourteen years ago)

or fuck, maybe "Third Stone from the Sun"? I dunno.

― Thug Luftwaffle (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 7 January 2012 21:32 (fourteen years ago)

xp What "badass blues stuff?" Recommend some to someone who's never really understood people's obsession with Hendrix.

― If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport, Saturday, 7 January 2012 21:49 (fourteen years ago)

the 1994 release titled Blues springs to mind and it is really lovely indeed

― epigram addict (outdoor_miner), Saturday, 7 January 2012 22:16 (fourteen years ago)

Dolly Dagger!

― Turrican, Saturday, 7 January 2012 22:19 (fourteen years ago)

highly highly recommended - http://theheatwarps.tumblr.com/post/1129618708/saturday-will-mark-40-years-since-jimi-red-wined

― tylerw, Saturday, 7 January 2012 23:49 (fourteen years ago)

not that it's badass blues stuff (at least not totally) but it is currently my favorite (albeit imaginary) hendrix album

― tylerw, Saturday, 7 January 2012 23:49 (fourteen years ago)

Little Wing, but for rarer stuff Driving South on the BBC sessions is pretty hot

― Dr X O'Skeleton, Sunday, 8 January 2012 00:31 (fourteen years ago)

"Burning of the Midnight Lamp", for sure. The Stockholm '67 live version on the Experience box set kills me.

― Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 8 January 2012 05:59 (fourteen years ago)

tylerw, I'm pulling that down now. Excited!

― Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 8 January 2012 06:00 (fourteen years ago)

What an terrific circa-1975 Herbie Hancock album cover that woulda made!

― Race Against Rockism (Myonga Vön Bontee), Monday, 9 January 2012 19:09 (fourteen years ago)

in the badass Blues stuff category, from the Blues album that long live version of "hear my train a-comin'" is super sublime

― epigram addict (outdoor_miner), Monday, 9 January 2012 19:28 (fourteen years ago)

this comment on tylerw's blog:

Interesting note about this cover: it was created by Mati Klarwein (Bitches Brew, Live Evil, Abraxas) for a proposed Jimi and Gil Evans collaboration.

makes me want to stare at that cover for six or seven hours and try imagine what their record would have sounded like (presumably not a whole lot like The Gil Evans Orchestra Plays the Music of Jimi Hendrix)

― Brad C., Monday, 9 January 2012 19:33 (fourteen years ago)

ha, yeah - reallllly want to like that Gil Evan Plays Hendrix album, but I can't get through it.

― tylerw, Monday, 9 January 2012 19:56 (fourteen years ago)

Here are John Scannell's notes about the "First Rays ..." remix linked above ...

http://letamancomeinanddothepopcorn.blogspot.com/2008/09/first-rays-mix.html

Great sequencing and editing!

― Brad C., Saturday, 14 January 2012 20:59 (fourteen years ago)

One Rainy Wish always and forever

― Trip Maker, Saturday, 14 January 2012 22:08 (fourteen years ago)

Maybe one of those superfast live takes of Killing Floor with Mitch totally tearing it up on the drums.

― Derartu Cthulhu (NickB), Saturday, 14 January 2012 22:14 (fourteen years ago)

1983, now and forever.

― EZ Snappin, Saturday, 14 January 2012 23:44 (fourteen years ago)

that fuckin First Rays reconstruction/theory is just so, so, so good

I wish someone had told me earlier that Stepping Stone was not the Monkees/Minor Threat song.Probably my favorite of his rave-ups now.

Machine Gun

May This Be Love for me, but I'm a huge fan of 1983 as well.

― how's life, Thursday, 12 April 2018 15:21 (eight years ago)

I think Isabella @ Woodstock is still my fav, but 1983 also a strong contender and lately I love this:

― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Thursday, 12 April 2018 15:31 (eight years ago)

btw are we including "Moon Turn the Tides" in "1983" or treating that as a separate song, bc those two combined probably did the most to open up my idea of what recorded music could sound like at a formative age

― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Thursday, 12 April 2018 15:32 (eight years ago)

After that probably Electric Ladyland or Power of Soul

― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Thursday, 12 April 2018 15:33 (eight years ago)

These strike me as good answers.

"If 6 Was 9"

― Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 12 April 2018 15:59 (eight years ago)

I feel like 1983/Moon Turn sounds like it was probably the inspiration for In A Silent Way

― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Thursday, 12 April 2018 16:02 (eight years ago)

my short list

third stone > machine gun > 1983 > bold as love
