Awesome video

While the blogosphere is abuzz about David Letterman’s remarkable extortion dialogue last night (it is a statement of our age of transparency), we were taken by this incredible video of the great Jimmy Hendrix. Thanks to Andy at New Speedway Boogie for unearthing this gem.

Jimi Hendrix - Machine Gun

Ben Chasny of Six Organs/Comets on Fire calls this the greatest guitar solo ever.  This dude says “Jimi Hendrix’s tone during the song “Machine Gun,” recorded live at the Fillmore East in New York in 1970, is one of the shining moments in the history of the electric guitar”
