I think this is from Smash Hits, the US release (1969). Jimi Hendrix (guitar), Mitch Mitchell (drums), Noel Redding (bass).
UPDATE: The original video is no longer available, so I updated “Red House” to a live version (Stockholm, 1969).
Incidentally, while I was away I got a Blogiversary notice. Two years, good visitors!
Happy Anniversary with WordPress.com!
You registered on WordPress.com 2 years ago!
Thanks for flying with us. Keep up the good blogging!
I tip my blogger cap as usual to Nightskyradio, my blog mentor.
What Do You Do for an Encore? 
Happy daze and happy days, Diddy.
Thanks, Mr. Mark! Sorry I’ve had to go a bit AWOL in the cyberworld recently.
As happens in life, Diddy. Never apologize for that.
Happy 2 years, sir!
Thanks for the show tout.
Thanks in return. I’m entering what is known as the Terrible Twos.
Congrats Diddy!! 2 years is no small feat! The first song I ever learned in full on the guitar was Purple Haze, and I remember spending many hours slaving over a tablature book trying to learn Little Wing (although I only made it about halfway through the song… what an incredibly difficult one to play!)
Thanks, Dave! That’s impressive! I love Little Wing, and most Hendrix Songs. I have a weak spot for the long jams. Did you ever hear Bill Cosby’s version of Purple Haze? It’s like a pre Al Yankovic Al Yankovic!
You’ve probably seen this tribute:
Thanks, Zippy. I had not! He channels Hendrix extremely well, better than Stevie Ray, I think. Not at all a bad singer, either.
Thanks for coming by! Quite honored.
Hendrix tends to introduce theological quandaries. Like, am I sinning by grooving on Voodoo Chile? Even if its veneration and not adoration? And how bad a sin is it?
I think an argument can be made that there will be rock-n-roll in the New Heaven and New Earth:

It says something about me that I went through the whole thread pretty intently, and not completely ironically.
Happy belated blogiversary!
My better half and I were in Seattle last weekend and visited a few of Jimmy’s old haunts. And a couple of statues in his honor.
Thanks!
Cool! I’m from Seattle myself, at least way back.
Wait, I thought you were supposed to be the better half . . .
