And this....
if you don't like 60s rock solo guitar improv, at least skip ahead to 4:55 for one of the greatest instrumental riffs of all time. I put these last 3 min on all the mix tapes I made. (the original video I put up here had the first 4:55 min of improv. this one starts Villanova Junction at sec 0:10)
On the video you can tell that this is one of the first times that this song has been performed live or even rehearsed among the current band members. As Jimi goes into the main verse, you can see him make eye contact with bassist Billy Cox and show him what the chord progression is as he goes along. But despite the song's unpracticed quality (or perhaps precisely because of it), it turns out as an incredibly beautiful and inspiring song that only Jimi could have created and performed.
