    As anyone  from here in Northeast Ohio can tell you, if they are of a certain age,    Five of those were  from the regular  WMMS  "get the weekend started"  routine. (from the 70s...not sure how long it went on).     Every Friday for a number of years, the weekend got kicked off  with Born to Run,   Friday on my Mind by Earthquake,  Cleveland Rocks  and the Murray Saul  Get Down Dammit rants.  Skinny Little Boy from Cleveland, Ohio  was also thrown in there at some point.  And we all were listening.  Just ask anyone here old enough to remember.  That protocol is emblematic of why Cleveland is the Rock n Roll Capital of the World. 

    And I threw Right Said Fred in there later, just because I like it and find it amusing,   but no one else posted in the interim.

    They indeed  were the days NE Ohio rocked.

  • Call me the party pooper amongst y'all.  I like my at least a little on the country, edgy side.  If not just Merle Haggard, my rock in my earlier years was more like ZZ...southern rock.  I have been listen to this guy last night.

    Well we got to get one really good country guy in here. This came out the year I turned 30 and had surprised myself by coming back from Vietnam when many others I knew had not.. Keep on rollin' with the flow with my first kid that year too. Danged if I know why I'm still around still rollin'.?

  • @texasag1969  The tempo on the live version for Hendrix was too fast for my liking.  Sounded more like the speed SRV plays his version at.

    I would like SRV's attempt more if it was the original pacing.  What I love about Hendrix is that slower bluesy rock.   

    Outstanding versions either way, won't find me complaining.

    edit: @texasag1969   the reason I posted Gary was because I heard him a few years back and immediately caught that Hendrix vibe.  In tonality at least.

    What you need is a little SRV Texas Flood. 

    Go to the 7:10 mark for a little fun.?
