In case you missed it–Late Night With Jimmy Fallon welcomed guest guitarist and Experience Hendrix tour performer Kenny Wayne Shepherd to join The Roots for a night of Jimi Hendrix covers! As an extra special bonus, Kenny played THE famed guitar Jimi used during Woodstock!
It doesn’t take a dozen exceptional guitarists to extol the virtues of Jimi Hendrix. But having that many certainly makes for a great show, as was the case Sunday at the Orpheum with the “Experience Hendrix” concert.
Steve Vai, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Vernon Reid, Ernie Isley, Eric Johnson, Susan Tedeschi, Brad Whitford, Johnny Lang, Mato Nanji, and a triple dose of pedal steel players — Robert Randolph, Darick Campbell, and Chuck Campbell — produced a fiery three-hour show that explored all facets of Hendrix’s brief and brilliant career.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd will live many a guitarist’s dream next Wednesday, November 10, when he appears on NBC’s “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.” Playing live on TV may be nothing new for KWS, but this time will be special because he gets to play the famed Jimi Hendrix “Woodstock Strat.”
It’s hard to imagine, from today’s vantage point, what popular music might sound like had there never been a Jimi Hendrix. The entire paradigm of blues-based rock soloing as we now understand it would not exist. Hendrix was not some mere blues-rock fusion artist hell-bent on showing off his chops, of course.
One by one some of rock’s best known guitarists dazzled Thursday evening at Toronto’s Sony Centre for the Performing Arts as part of a tribute concert to the iconic Jimi Hendrix.
But despite all their mastery for over 150 minutes, the most startling aspect during Experience Hendrix was realizing just how damn easy and effortless the man being honored made such intricate, jaw-dropping solos look.
