Dylan lowkey had more classics than anybody that year but didnt even release most of them

Small Faces barely in their 20s and almost roasted the rest of the Invasion bands

1968

didnt realize they were doing this on tv in '68 @RVI Gram already gone but Clarence snapped

these two on the same single one of the best ever @twinkletoez

another one of the all time A/B combos Stones best single and the b-side couldn't be better. perfect mixture of the psychedelic era and sith lord era.

Yung MJ perfectly mimicking James Brown for his Motown audition

I noticed Hendrix estate finally put s*** on youtube so I'm gonna post some 1967 rarities even tho we just advanced to 1968

Soul and funk

little man was obviously in the building for this

Let's Go Crazy / Erotic City its only competition

I Get Around/Dont Worry Baby

Hound Dog/Dont Be Cruel

thats just off the top. there aren't alot of other absolute god level combos but there are some.

1967:

instrumental version of Bold as Love with crazy soloing:

blues song that he played at first before eventually morphing it into his own Hear My Train a Comin:

early version of the song Angel which later became pretty famous released posthumously:

there are a few BBC sessions of this song, instrumental song by Curtis Knight whom he worked with pre-fame

Day Tripper cover with prominent backing vocals from Mitchell and Redding

will post some for 1968 too, the vault material gets more fruitful as the years progress

1968:

different take of Voodoo Chile, shorter but still damn near peak Hendrix:

nice unfinished but still pretty fleshed out song, he ditched it and re used some lyrics later

absolutely gnarly jam, was released in mangled sacrilegious form on some posthumous album and later covered by drone metal greats Earth. some of his heavier stuff:

solid version of Gloria:

song he originally started in the pre-Experience days, idk if he ever would have released it because of similarities to other songs but it's still a fully fleshed out recording:

highly regarded live performance from '68, i like the live versions of Are You Experienced and Little Wing which hardly ever got played live:

@edumist peep some of these gems

i put the battery in your back

You and the snow

Hendrix at #1?

Yeah? I know it's not considered one of his masterpieces but it's always blown me away. firing on all cylinders, bringing the gospel and the baroque to his cutting edge psych rock. Grim goth lyric hits like a brick in the wee hours.

@saveme
