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'

Man, this is fast. Ferocious old school rock energy. Swirly organ flourishes add a nice touch

Delicate, flowing solos from Jerry with a strong, but not overpowing, Phil pulse underneath
