One great thing about being 60. Saw Randy twice doing his Hendrix tribute when I was a teenager in the 70's. Buddy Miles could have been lead vocalist in any band. Probably was $6. He is amazing.
Im so glad Buddy Miles got the chance to this again and actually inprovise a little further from the original live version with Randy who captures the spirit so beautifully - Heaven
And his vocals are awesomely close to Jimi's!! But that could be due to the possibility that he's simply related to Jimi. And since Jimi is aristocracy it would make perfect sense if Randy also hails from the aristocracy, since all aristocrats are closely related.
Fantastic. Randy is an excellent Jimi on guitar and voice too. And Buddy is so effortlessly musical playing at the end of the pocket on the right spot. Amazing soulful melodious voice too. RIP Buddy. Bassist held his end.
What a good show to see This trío with a sound so similar to that of Jimi only two's guitarist have done This Randy Hansen and SRV, The emotion of Buddy Miles to play these same song's he did with Jimi Hendrix 🎸
This is the real deal; Randy is as dexterious as Jimi on the guitar, and I honestly don't know who is more flamboyant of the two. Anyway, for sure Jimi is smiling down on Randy, a very gifted musician & a great band.
Bar none the best Jimi impersonator, he plays like Jimi, his voice is like Jimi, he also spent time to learn the philosophy behind Jimi music and why he was playing in a certain way, not just a mechanical replica. There is a cool interview at the Jimi’s memorial with Randy and his Tour Manager, they are two genuine guys who love what they’re doing. 🙏
I just don't know what to say! I'm listening to this and swear it's Jimi! Buddy must be saying to himself this is 1969! Jimi was just so creative at that time and his paradigm still lives in so many minds. You can't say this music is gone because it's old, it's only old in the younger minds, but underneath the world's melancholy, it still resonates because it's feeling, its soul, and it speaks of a time where music was so creative. I know because I played in rock bands of the time and Jimi was King and even though many didn't understand, I knew, his music his playing would live on forever!
I closed my eyes and thought JIMI came down from the skies to play again with my favorite .band of gypsys JIMI lives on threw Randy Hansen guitar playing glad to see some one carryin JIMI legacy alive. the next best sound to JIMI and to buddy miles for the tunes and jams from the sixties until his passing RIP buddy🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome mind-blowing stuff Randy n Buddy 😂 jimi was something else,,,,, Randy's doing gigs in Berlin bout May,,,, incidently Robin Trower is in Holmfirth in May,,, hope to see all you my muso mates out there in May Andrew from Warrington Blues club x x

Been listening to Randy now for about a decade. I just discovered this gem from 1997. Dude never ceases to amaze me. So freekin' pleasurable to listen to. Randy exudes respect and honor to JMH with every note he plays, every movement he makes, every breath he takes, every snarl, smile, and twitch of a muscle. Simply amazing. I've run out of superlatives so I will end this post with a very serious question: I'm not at all schooled in music or music theory, but I'm wondering if I heard a tribute to Eleanor Rigby at approx 42:18 or 42:30. (Can't remember exact time) Yes?? Please reply. Thx.
Momentarily, Buddy Miles must have thought he was playing alongside the legendary Jimi,himself. There must be some rubbing off of spirit ofMuses on Randy.
They played together in 1984 as 'Return of the Band of Gypsys' with Mr. Tommy Saunders on bass. That was excellent too, but I think I like this set better. It's fantastic to consider that spirit energy may have passed via Mr. Miles to Mr. Hansen… I suspect that many thousands of hours of practice and performance coupled with genuine passion are the real key, but who knows…
Everybody talking about Buddy, how he felt but WTF Randy is actually covering the songs together with Buddy,who originally played these songs with Jimi :D All Randy ever heard of that Hendrix Era was played with that guy :D It's so insane.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ The Band was in Italy 1997 . Bloom of Mezzago ( Milan) i was there. ,The next day was in Roxy Bar with Red Ronnie . Jimi forever joung , After 50 years he is again with us .♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Lifelong Hendrix fan trippin' balls on this... Some serious voodoo magic/channeling is going on here! Gypsy Suns & Rainbows highpriests Buddy Miles & Randy Hansen preaching the Hendrix gospel! The Lord bestoweth grace upon us, Amen!
interesting to see Randy on the left side (stage right) , usually he is on the right side (stage left) ... JIMI was always on the left side (stage right) ... such awesome sounds... reminds me of JIMI... WOW!!! thank you for this flashback... i have seen Buddy in concert a couple times... saw Billy Cox a few years ago too!!! ROCK ON!!!!
randy is a class by himself...never mind jmi..never will be forgottan ...jimi is busy on another world right now.he may find time to stop by again tho.....buddy knows this too.
as good as randy was then he still wasn’t no jimi and buddy knew that! it takes an original to recreate! but man it gets you thinking about jimi playing this stuff in the 60’s
@@bryanmarszalek2262 Yes but in the band of gypsys and you could see this as two separate bands. I see that more as band of gypsys where Bubby was the original drummer.
Dwight-- Buddy just touches those drums and music jumps out. I’m in awe. God just gives talent to some people. Buddy just sweats out music. Aw snap. And his singing isn’t too shabby either. Just think of the early 70’s. And buddy and jimi and Billy. The stage would have had a meltdown. Oh snap And then I just want to cry because I can only imagine what they would’ve done. Especially touching people’s hearts and souls with music. Making the whole audience experienced.
He always did. Although I have great respect for Mitch Mitchell and his undeniable technical proficiency and talent, Buddy had the groove and the solid timing, and brought so much more to the table. It was a shame that the Band of Gypsys with Jimi, Billy, and Buddy ended so quickly. It would have been amazing to hear what they could have followed up with.
I hate to say it, but I think Mssrs. Cox and Miles were not so close... Mr. Cox got in tight with Experience Hendrix, but Mr. Miles didn't. They reunited a couple of times for tributes, but nothing that featured Mr. Miles like he's featured in this video… Experience Hendrix was never gonna let him back in the spotlight I guess.… a real shame cause he was the real deal.
Carly: I filmed BUDDY MILES EXPRESS at the SOUTH STRET SEAPORT in NYC 5-27-1994...free concert, outdoors stage, exciting gig and crowd, 2hours... I would like to upload to CZcams but lack the "thechxpertise..."...I have it on a DVD 2hours long...can you help upload it on my behalf if I were to send you a copy? it will sit in the dark forever otherwise...thanks!
The Originals can not be equaled but sometimes eclipsed! I love how this Hansen impersonates Jimi, he too, has the soul and certified to do Jimi! Buddy ‘ Them Changes’ inspired me to do vocals and bass simul, my salute Buddy! Who is the Bassist? You are a third of the piece, you are honoured too!
A man that makes a living off of another man's life work is not much of a man. There will never be another jimmy. Not this guy, not SRV or anyone else for that matter. Chicago ain't no fool.
Well Randy is just someone who paying homage but has never tried to make Hendrix songs his own. SRV also pays homage but he tried to hard to be jimi without being jimi. SRV is overrated randy is a cover there's a difference. I like SRV but people putting him over jimi r literally just blind, deaf and dumb. Randy plays jimi better and with way more soul then SRV ever did. But I agree 100% nobody will ever be jimi ever.
@@subzero308 SRV was being SRV doing covers of Jimi. He wasn't trying to be Jimi. He was putting his slant on Jimi. Randy is a tribute act, and just happens to be exceptionally good at it.
Ever hear of flattery or blandishment, or simply honoring someone you feel is worthy? C'mon, man, this guy is showing r-e-s-p-e-c-t in a most respectful way. I really don't think he's thinking about "making a living" off of Jimi's music.
Just unbelievable! How can someone play Jimi Hendrix like that!...Buddy Miles must be in heaven!

Don't care for Buddy's scootin' & scattin'. Didn't like it on BOG, neither did Jimi.
he's the best Hendrix impersonator by far sounds and sings just like jimi
it is not impersonator ,it is the reencarnation of jimi.
More an impersonator. He plays Jimi's music note for note on this clip.
Hansen rips like no one after Jimi. Monster guitar player in his own right. Incredible musician to say the least.
I agree with you!
And his vocals are awesomely close to Jimi's!! But that could be due to the possibility that he's simply related to Jimi. And since Jimi is aristocracy it would make perfect sense if Randy also hails from the aristocracy, since all aristocrats are closely related.
Just to add, I wouldn't know since I haven't done a search on Randy's kin to know one way or the other, my comment was purely speculative.
Probably one of the most underrated guitarists/performers out there! What a dope sound, Randey Hansen
Tone only matched by Jimi and Robin Trower.
There’s that word again…
Buddy Miles. Randy Hansen = Match made in heaven :)
Holy sh*t... wow wow wowwwww! Why am I only finding this now? Love it :)
Buddy looks like he liked this,RIP Bud
Just the other day i was wondering about about how will outstanding musicians l
Fantastic. Randy is an excellent Jimi on guitar and voice too. And Buddy is so effortlessly musical playing at the end of the pocket on the right spot. Amazing soulful melodious voice too. RIP Buddy. Bassist held his end.

Two legends up there- buddy is the the ultimate soul slayer

No doubt about Randy's dexterity , but the legendary Jimi's flamboyance above all others are certainly obvious.
I used to say I never enjoyed cover bands, but I’ve now found one I like!
Imagine the talent, time and effort it takes to create this sound just like Jimi. Randy is by far the best. And so it the whole band!
Bar none the best Jimi impersonator, he plays like Jimi, his voice is like Jimi, he also spent time to learn the philosophy behind Jimi music and why he was playing in a certain way, not just a mechanical replica. There is a cool interview at the Jimi’s memorial with Randy and his Tour Manager, they are two genuine guys who love what they’re doing. 🙏
Randy is the best, and this show is fantastic !!!!!!
He had the Groove!
If Jimmy was still here, would we revisit the best of his works as its been skillfully retold?..He was Timeless..
This guy doesn’t get near enough credit. Amazing!
I saw him 30 years ago when he was just starting out. Great to see he's finally getting recognition for his hard work
This is scary good....Jimi's spirit is alive in this guy!
I just don't know what to say! I'm listening to this and swear it's Jimi! Buddy must be saying to himself this is 1969!

Sooo happy for buddy, I bet he's reliving some things in his head!!
I've saw them playing at Red House in Bra (Italy) in 1997, they played very loud!. It was an amazing experience!
Randy Hansen= National Treasure Smithsonian.

Buddy had “IT”.
Yeah this performance was pretty much an honor to do with buddy i would guess. Buddy was a young man I don't know how he died anyone?
congestive heart failure. Austin Texas, 2008.
SM Bradley I never knew that. Looking at his size and obese, heart failure is!
It was to honor the original band of gypsies buddy and Randy has been doing the jimi tribute since the late 70's played with Mitch Mitchell too
this is was 27 years after Jimi died at 27
I thought that Who Knows was credited by buddy miles
So good so 👍 good

Saw them in San Francisco don't remember the year?
Maybe 1984 at the Kabuki Theatre on December the 27th? There was a fund raiser for Ethiopia… Mr. Tommy Saynders was on bass.
who was the bass player
the late Horst Stachelhaus

Scat singing at it's most far-out by Buddy!
who is it the bassist??
the late Horst Stachelhaus

Chyba jeszcze nikt tak swobodnie i autentycznie nie zagrał JIMMIEGO- genialne!
You're absolutely right
What pickups are in his guitar?

Awesome BUT WHERE IN THE FUCK IS "THEM CHANGES" - OH MY GOD BUDDY WAS OFF THE FUCKING HOOK..!
Jimi's better....he does it lefty!
Randy is a Righty but his guitar is for the Lefty. Jimi was too, the opposite! Jimi is great, Randy a ‘ resurrected’ Jimi! Kudos to both men!
Randy isn't trying to be better he's just paying homage too the master.
Ah yeah, but he was left-handed… it ain't much for someone who's left-handed to do things left-handed.
This guy is better than Hendrix himself!! ;))
Go back to your sesame streetsongsslim
Ooo ur fucking insane. Go back to listening to SRV cause u don't know shit about music clearly.

Practice. Jimmy constantly practiced and experimented with new sounds
