Having been there, I can say that this was amazing live.

Oh man Joe's playing was so sweet, you could literally feel the soul behind the notes. Incredible.

Tony mcalpine's playing.....his melodies.... the first time I heard his first albums from when he was young it was awesome as if he practiced guitar in another planet he clearly developed his own unique style

Steve Vai s solo is pure "Spirit and Soul"

Satriani make the best guitar solos in than song, More feeling, best picking and clean sound. The best.

The drums sound awesome.

My respect for Ori is undying. She's absolutely amazing regardless of age!

I cried a lil when Orianthi soloed, I cried a good bit when Steve played, and I’m still cryin from Joe’s

TONY MC ALPINE OWNED!!, alone, in the dark, separate from the rest, and anyway he play the best solo of this performance by far, not to mention, satriani do the best soulful tribute to hendrix...

4 badass performances though for sure!

Watching Orianthi again, and crying again.. this is so beautiful it hurts

In their defense. Himi also crammed a bunch of crazy notes live as well. Steve Vai played the Best IMO here, tracking the chord changes really well and mind-blowing tremolo control.

joe mentor steve mentor orianthi + tony =awesome & explosive.

Satriani really did the song justice.

I was shocked when he started singing, sounds a LOT like Hendrix. Still my favorite cover of this song is SRV.

I met Satriani in Raleigh in 2008 and he was the nicest guy! His music is even better to me now because he's so genuine! I agree, keep the arts alive!

Each artist is fantastic in their own way. I went to the show specifically to see Orianthi and loved her work (and the fact that she gave me a wave too from the stage). This girl can play any genre she's asked to. Her understanding of her instrument and music is phenomenal. A month after this gig she was on the road with Alice Cooper having picked up his whole show in a day or two. And she stole the show on his stage as well. She is truly one of the greats.

This has got to be one of my favourite videos on KZread, never mind quality of the recording, this is felt-melting, mind-blowing classic rock, four exceptionally talented guitarists paying homage to the God of guitar.....So let's stop arguing and enjoy this 10 minute slice of musical heaven, shall we?

who said vai can't play blues? this is just awesome

Jimi's alive and well, that's his playing, inspiration and feeling increased a hundred-fold.

Solo satriani riesce ad interpretarla. Non c'è altro da dire, è un genio assoluto della chitarra

I think Hendrix would be proud of where his legacy has gone and the interpretation of this song. Simply beautiful.

Steve's tone is incredible, he has the best feel for this song and did it justice, Orianthi also had some nice licks as well. SRV owns this cover tune though no one to date can outplay him on it. RIP SRV

Never heard orianthi play so good as in that solo she did blew me away.very powerful.satrianis solo was the most bluesy orianthi deserves to be where she is with that playing

Of the four of them, Joe has the best feel by far.

The best part 4:40 when the Master start the class with great execution and powerful bends like at 5:19. SRV's version still in first place.

Dhika Yudha Perdana a little bit, but Ibanez is a better guitar than Musicman as far as Petrucci's situation. Vai's situation was, when he started playing, all there was was the Fender Strat (the perfect shred guitar at the time) but Ibanez developed an advanced version of the Fender Strat some years later (RG) and the 24 fret Wizard neck was incorporated....perfect shred guitar. don't know what Petrucci was thinking when he switched to Musicman but good luck to him.

Almost in tears from the first Satriani solo. Great video and song. Love Hendrix and his legacy is in that music all we have to do is keep it alive for the future.

I was at this concert. Steve Vai was thoroughly impressed with Tony McAlpine.

First time I've seen Vai sing and first time I've seen him play something other than an Ibanez

There's a lot of options in guitars...Satriani is awesome as always. Vai is completely different..yet, in my opinion, is as modern as you can get. He also emulates Satriani and clearly is a favorite for many. Orianthi is new. Not necessarily fresh, but in a male dominated world of guitar players, she holds her own quite well. Whether she messed up or not, she is definitely still grooving and learning- and plays better than I. Little Wing is not my favorite Hendrix song...I'd prefer Red House on a jam with three players like this. But it looks like it was a good show. You don't often get three for this price of one. So..let's not hate people. Enjoy it for what it is!

thanks for posting and sharing!

wow! that just sent a chill through my bones and gave me goose-bumps!

gotta say satriani definitely takes the medal on this one! (if it were a competition :P)

This was such a great show! I wanted to record some of it myself but was too busy being awestruck the whole time. Macalpine was possibly the best on stage (overlooked though, sadly) and Brendon Small really held his own too. Poor Dweezil looked pretty lost near the end though!

If you watch Dweezil describe the guitar @ Norman's Rare Guitars....you'll see that this guitar was nothing BUT^effects. And so was Jimi....A little fast play, long held notes with lots & lots of effects. A good guitar player,yes ,but Jimi was nowhere near the talent of Zappa, Trower, Blackmore, Vaughan, Santana & Satriani. Very few effects and just pure guitar wizardry & soul. Zappa's Watermelons in Easter hay or Santana's Samba Pa Ti are soulful plays. I'd even throw in Ween's Tear for Eddie, Although Dean Ween was not much more that a cord strummer

thx so much for uploading :)

Great jam. Thanks for the upload.

All of em great but for my taste i really like what Satriani was doing.

McAlpine just owned all of them

This is too damn cool!!!! Vai, Satriani, Orianthi, & Macalpine on stage jammin' together!!!! This rocks on all levels!!!!!

I love Joe's subtle playing, he really makes you feel the song =D

I think all is good and she's hanging in there and that's how you become a great player. Gotta wing it no matter what. Stevie and Satch didn't become great overnight either. just saying.

I wonder what they're paying Satriani and Vai to be charing the stage with Orianthi and letting her butcher every single piece of music they play... Especially Joe Satriani might be offended because he's been around the longest. Maybe she might develop a unique style in time but for now all I hear is generic shredding. But yes, at this performance they kinda all suck a little bit... everyone but the guy on the left that doesn't get any credit.

I honestly don't get why people come into a video likes this and then start bashing the players in the video. This is a video, a cover, and a tribute. It's not meant to be compared to the original. They are playing a song they love and want to dedicate to Hendrix. If you're really hating on anything about this video, you don't get the first thing about music.

Not seeing how she looks "lost" maybe just not as comfortable with Hendrix as she is other artists. Vai, Satriani and others grew up with Hendrix, she grew up with them.

spectacular!!! Great intro story. I have a 30 year old acoustic that brings back memories. I play it today but the best thing is whenI don't play it for a bunch of months, then pick it up. It is like shaking the hand of an old friend. We all have learned this song. I learned it on my 30 year old "Prudence". I can't play it this well of course.

soooo awesome!

She has way more feel than Vai. She gets to the notes she wants when she wants. Vai has zero blues feel. His intro to little wing sounds like a high schooler who just learned his first jimi song. That's not to say Vai isn't far more technically proficient than Ori, but her feel and soul on the instrument is quite frankly beautiful. She is playing complicated and sophisticated runs there too. It's way more than shredding. Vai would freely admit and has admitted that blues isn't his thing. See in his solo that he played it more Prog? It was nasty, don't get me wrong, but the feel wasn't there. Just my opinion anyway
