Awesome. His acoustic playing was special. Anyone who got to see this intimate type of stuff, saw something very very special. He truly seemed like he loved his fans and appreciated them.
Yeah, he really could do it all.
I have a bootleg with soundboard audio (likely reel to reel) of Jimi alone in his apparent playing a handful of songs....it's almost magical to listen to him. He rearranges some songs, plays some rare ones, talks, jibber jabbers, messes up a few times and believe you can even here the phone ring at one point.
This ones for you Ken. I had never seen it before but echos what I was trying to say in an earlier post.
And the performance. It's rare to see that many guitar legends jamming together, what a sight and sound.

No words. Just WOW.
Had never seen either of those before.
Crossed my mind to think it would have been cool to hear Johnny Cash sing Watchtower.
Thanks, Bruce!

Not to move the conversation away from Jimi, but the only one of those Hall of Fame all-star jams that impressed me was "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" where (for better or for worse) Prince stole the performance:
$1.50 for a 4.5 hr concert including The Jimi Hendrix Experience 50y ago today...my how times and concerts have changed, and not for the better.
After Prince passed away, somebody showed me that and I've watched it about a million times since. It's amazing.

As for Jimi, "Little Wing" is one of my favorites. I could listen to it on repeat for ages. There are several covers that I like, too.
Go Jimi Go!
You can tell he wants to bust loose a few times but resists to keep it professional. It would only be a matter of time before he would take center stage and unleash his magic on the world.

We’ve decided to run the Paladin Purple Haze Lollapalooza through the Labor Day Weekend. The cutoff for qualifying entries will be midnight on Monday, September 4. After that it will probably take us at least a few days to sort everything out and notify the winners.
Regrettably, we haven’t had much time to put into this event since announcing it. I had hoped to take more active part in making it fun and interesting. We very much appreciate those who stepped in and helped take up the slack.
Sincere thanks to all who participated!

So, a friend of mine for over 30 years, who collects our brushes and knows about the Purple Haze Lollapalooza, gives me a Purple Haze Zippo lighter.
Pretty cool, eh?
He even included some lighter fluid.
But he knows I have a Marshall amp.
And and a fully original '65 Fender Strat (not of the re-issue variety).
What should I make of this?
What does this guy expect me to do?
Is he really a friend?

It looks great in the photo, but it's certainly not minty. Very good condition. Played. Lots of character.

We've identified by random selection and notified all winners of the Paladin Purple Haze Lollapalooza. Thanks to everyone who participated!
No notification here 
but I have nothing to complain about. A Paladin/M&F Disco PK-47 is my daily brush. It was a gift from Ken a while back and one I am very fortunate to own, my favorite brush by a long shot.
I've always loved Ken's Purple Haze stock, since the first time he showed it to us. Whoever was lucky enough to win one, is in for an amazing treat.
Thanks to Ken for running the generous giveaway and bringing some Jimi to B&B. It was one of the most interesting and fun threads I've seen on here in a long time.
Freshly used minutes before I took this pic and posted.

Two of the winners (one of a KC-London, Purple Haze Chief and the other of the Manic Depression El Dorado) are US veterans who served in Iraq and Afganistan, respectively, and both of whom were injured in accidents while subsequently working in those countries as contractors.
We're not going to identify the winners by name (or username) unless they do so first, but we hope they will post.
