I feel like I heard hendrix's version a million times so I never really gave the Daed's version much time. This is bonkers! Bobby randomly goes off...

Jittery, dark industrial soundtrack vibes on this one. Love it

Laid back version with some really nice fusion style jamming. Doesn't had for deep space, but segues beautifully into a nice 'Uncle John's Band'

This one had to grow on me--but I'm really digging it. It's so hypnotic, but it never goes into Interstellar Overdrive like some DS's I prefer---but Jerry's playing is so mesmerizing. I'm always floored by Bob Dylan's tribute to him where he places him in a lineage of American musicians with Ornette Coleman. I can totally hear that in his playing here
