I saw Eric play at a little 200 seat "club" in Wichita on his Ah Via Musicom tour. He was and hour late to the gig cuz his bus broke down, so to make up for it he played for about 4 hours solid. I was 5 feet away fromt he guy. Just phenomenal! He played all his own stuff, Hendrix, old blues, Simon and Garfunkel--you name it he could play it. He uses very old equipment--Dumble Amps,tape loops, Leslies--all the old school stuff.

I saw Buddy a couple of years ago and that man has a stage presence like you wouldn't believe! Another little club setting and he was walking around in the audience, playing and singing. He's another one that can play stuff you wouldn't expect him to do.

Steve Vai's version of Little Wing is very good, also. For a Hendrix cover one of the best I've heard is Kenny Wayne Shepard's version of Voodoo Chile. Just take Stevie Ray's and step it up a notch. Just smokin'!!

How about Lonnie Mack's Ridin' the Blinds?
