Purple Haze. Jimi Hendrix.

Really enjoying Jimi these days and then when I went to see Brad Mehldau a couple of weeks ago in the NCH didn’t he knock out a sensational version of Hey Joe for his encore.

Haven’t listen to that album in years.
He had some fine solo stuff.

First two albums but he fell away badly after that I thought.

What an album closer from a band at the peak of their powers.

Hard to believe that album is 18 years old.

Indeed.

And Ok Computer (much superior in my view) is 21 years old.

Fucking hell. Listening to them brings it all back… Where the fuck did my youth escape to?

This song was recorded about 15 years before I was born.

It was played live in 2003.

And it sounds incredible. And Arthur Lee is as cool as fuck.
