Steve Winwood - Voodoo Chile Lyrics

I want a backing track for this so bad. Please Santa??

I've never been a fan of Clapton. He sure did a great job of this song though

Love this absolutely love this!!!! Jimi smiling down on them! True friends giving respect to their friend

Jimi and Stevie Ray own this song .

Jimi Hendrix occasionally used different names and spellings for some of his songs. In his handwritten lyrics, he used "Voodoo Chile" for the longer song, while he used both "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" for the following one recorded with the Experience. Great song tho, no matter the name. I saw this tour dammit!!

I’ll never understand why people just don’t appreciate Clapton,he is without a doubt a great guitarist

Clapton was jellice. Thats motiv.

I seriously love this video. Rock on. Superb download, this one is. Wow!!!!

I'd bet not one critic in 10 ever say Hendrix live. What you've heard on albums is amazing but... you'll never really know. So enjoy this amazing performance because it's as close as you'll ever get to the real Hendrix. Sorry kids.

Sounds like a Robin Trower song instead of real deal
Total FAIL

Oh Eric, du kannst spielen wie du willst, an Jimmy kommst du leider nie heran.

To have been at that concert would have been as good as it gets and the fuckheads that are anti this version have opinions that are not worth two knobs of goat shit.

Dos maestros vivientes.

It July 16th 2019 at 2:10am and 36 people are screwed up in the head!!!!

Clapton is God. 🐕

He looks like somebody’s aunt who shreds on the Strat.

I could die for

❤️
Thank you for the Music!
God Bless

Clapton is God!!!.....

Clapton and Winwood slowed Voodoo Chile down. Stevie Ray Vaughn sped it up. Both are pretty amazing. This is just a great song.

My Favorite Jimi Hendrix song!!!

I remember sitting in the Loge with my wife facing these guys from a direct side view. When Clapton started jamming on this song with Winwood, I rose to my feet and dropped my mouth open in astonishment. Wow!

Jimi covered Sunshine of Your Love back in the 60s, and he saw Clapton as God. So cool to see Clapton play this and other Hendrix' songs.

Wow....Blind Faith much?? Timeless.

Amazing cool versión revisited

Incorrect title. Voodoo Chile.

EXCELLENT,,,,,,,CANT FIND THE HENDRIX VERSION ON FUCKING YOU-TUBE

Masterpiece version

Thankfull

Fine audio mix thanks

Świetna gra na organach Hammonda.

Błąd w tytule pod oknem filmu: powinno być: Chile zamiast Child.

Completely fantastic! Music like this can touch your soul.

Jimi and Eric, Prophets at large.

Absolutely superb version. Hendrix will always be the best rock/blues guitar player in my book, but Clapton has paid him a fitting tribute. His timing on certain parts of this performance is quite stunning.

Amazing version. I’ll like listing to both this and the Hendrix versions.

Way down by the methane sea... heh.

This version of "voodoo Chile Blues" will never grow old to me.I love it!

I'm in my 50's now, I've heard all the Greatest, most technically sound, rip it Rockers, and some Lay it Down Blues Players ... I feel very fortunate that I Lived in a Era, to be able to watch, able to Listen, able to think that how Incredibly powerful an instrument like the guitar and a Player that tames it to do it's bidding ... there aren't many of THEM ... and for a lot of other reasons I have always understand Eric, He tells us a story of how it feels to hurt, how it feels to suffer, how you can be inspired to just do better, an' on an' on an' on ... his sound is not duplicated. He is My Favorite guitarist and will be so till I leave this Realm. I am so mentally receptive to Eric's sound . . . again, my Favorite of em all !

If I was Hendrix @s a ghost and  this is a tribute I would CRY as a mark of Respect Hendrix in his own way Respect /

very cool Steve and Eric and band..took a while to type this lol

not child, chile

Killer performance from everyone. My only other comment is that I wish that Eric used a tone more like this when he did the Royal Albert Hall shows with Cream. This is a much more aggressive and powerful tone than what he used on those shows. In my humble opinion.

J’étais là. Mémorable

All good for me! Awesome 🤟🏻❤️🎶🎼

The guitar extra---ordinaire Eric Clapton is a true Guitar Hero and the "Edward Van Halen" of his day/days specially during the 1960's to 1970's decades.He and the great,amazing and incredible lead guitarist Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin shared their love for blues---rock music which is very,very and very evident in this classic Jimi Hendrix hit song.Keep writing new blues---rock compositions,Eric and Steve because blues---rock music never gets old and they get better everyday!!!

I saw this live!

Windwood on the original 'live studio track with Hendrix, and still doing it proud, and good to see Clapton getting excited!!

Want hear what Clapton did? Listen to rock in roll guitar leads on records from 1964 . . . they're all thin sounding, reworked Chuck Berry licks (who was brilliant in his own right), some bending but very little feel, human voice or nuance. Then listen to lead guitars on records from 1969/1970. Thick, beautiful nuance and finger vibrato. Great voicing. Rock n Roll guitar was transformed completely. That is majorly due to the influence of Clapton. Others like Beck certainly had influence . . . and Hendrix was a genius of massive proportions, but he was so completely unique that most rock solos by other artists don't reflect him. Page wasn't really influential until Zeppelin. It was Clapton's vision and influence between 1966 and 1969 (Mayall, Cream, Blind Faith) that was the biggest driver of that change. Yes, he got dorky and poppy later. Like many of the great artists of the late 60s/early 70s (Stones, Rod Stewart, Elton John, The Who, even McCartney & Lennon), they hit a real creative lull in the mid/late 70s. It was time to make way for others. But Clapton's influence lives on. Look at this video. Right off the top, he shows that beautiful feel and nuance that sets him apart. He may have stopped innovating  after Layla . . . his natural peak was passed.No one is an innovator forever.  But this video shows- he still has IT. And Winwood? Super musical genius without the flash and ego. Brilliant, brilliant man and another unique talent.

Totally agree with that analysis. I was a teenager during the 1960’s and recall the change in guitar sound you refer to. Cream remains my favourite band to this day.

Couldn’t agree more than this. Just for a little bit of clarify: Clapton laided the foundations for the new rock guitar era already in 65, within Mayall band. Already during that year, there wasn’t none who played like Clapton, and I mean literally none. He’s been “the first”.

So many great artists now and past for everyone

Don't understand anybody knocking this version they are amazing together just maestro's enjoy them they are wonderful musician's and English THE CREAM.

E' la più' bella versione. 2 amici che ricordano nel migliore dei modi Jimi

This is VOODOO CHILE, not Voodoo Child.

Took this guy awhile to learn this song......like 50 years......... Stevie Ray Vaughn could have done it in 20...........! Nobody is "Hendrix".......... Nobody....... !!!!! Don't be Pretenders......

Hey this guy could be as good as Eddie Van Halen in 30 more years........ With a little more practice.........

More people would rather listen to Eric Clapton

I would suggest that you don't comment on things until you figure out how to use your brain, what little of it you might have left.

Stephen Waldeck

CRAP - not even remotely close to Jimi or Stevie

Stevie Ray Vaughn said that when he finally figured out how to play this song he felt like then he knew how to play a guitar. Woooooooooooeeeeee.

And we Can Say srv really know how to play guitar

bcsorensenman amen!!!!

Let people talk!I just find this coming from the heart!Little Wing by Eric was very different from Jimi's version but who cares,maybe morons.You can make a well felt tribute to a person you knew without silly persons comparing,giving advices and I wonder if they're even able to play a single note!Again,I Love this performance.That's All,It Goes Staight To My Heart.Thanks if you read my comment...

I have listened to ALOT of people do this. These two do it best of anyone alive. I'm 66 and have been listening to these 2 my entire life. They are great together.

Nice. I always liked Oink floyd. My French Bulldog is called Flloyd- with 2 ll. I so much liked the Vaughan cover. I don't have a music ear though.

What a masterpiece. Mr Clapton u r a true virtuoso!!! God bless you, your music is one in a billion

just thought I might mention this is not an Eric solo this is a couple of equal players riffling with the best, whoo this give me ghoose bumps, by the way I saw Hendricks a few times two

Stuff me chums this is bleeding awesome, dirty, dirty dirty, going to be a long time to bust this version, as I say might be just me

La, la lala ?? Or blah blah blah

I guess its a time thing, some of us are voodoo children and some are not, I'm in chums, be rude not too, what a noise

The organ verily how doth it swell. 7:22 Anyway anyone hearing "Jupiter's fiery old sulphur mines" in the lyric? I mean it won't be the first time but Windwood is singing some very trippy lyrics or maybe I need to see a doctor :-)

Sad but true we are all going to the same place and sadly we don't all possess the same talent, wish I did but I don't. we can however love the paintings and listen to all the music. And against all odds keep trying, not so bad?

steve, dirty Hammond, great voice, stuff me I don't have to defend this. Just read Steve has a new set of LPs coming out, live recordings. Might be just me but that voice and a dirty Hammond, Erics not so bad either

Love this! EC's Leslie tone is fantastic.

i am the 500th like!

The fact that anyone would even attempt shows great courage. Everybody wants you to be just like them or their opinions (smile).

esto eS musicA cabrones entiendan y sientan dejense de su putada de la banda esa es corrupcion no vale madre mejor que voltien a vet el reprecentativo que es mexico con respeto para mundo vargas y santsna igualalo de donde jalisco mexico al qud le duela vivaaa mexico cabroneso

Shitskin @shiverly, what can u say aboutClapton; Truley a legend.

Caraco que máximo. ...

Eric had just bought Jimi a nice Strat, but wasn't able to give it to him before he died. Maybe it was buried with him?

Yes... a left hander strat....

Jimi used to play a right hander's strat upside down.

Amazing how many no talent wannabe players,are jealous of EC. Everyone of the players you mention as "better" than EC, had to go through him to get to any level they obtained. Clapton set the bar for all electric blues and rock players to aspire to become. Not only is EC the most influential and copied player of his generation, his vocals are top notch. Of all the great blues and rock guitarists if the last 50 years, none have his combined vocal and guitar skill level. The fact that EC has survived to become extremely wealthy, happy and successful in his career and personal life only makes you haters mire angry! You should be thanking him for paving the way to excellence in skill and execution that all others after him want to emulate. Thanks EC for a lifetime of excellence and surviving, to come out on top!

He plays way beyond what I can as do many others, never jealous me, if you don't try to play you are just a critic, I don't mean Rob he gets it

We all stand on the shoulders of giants. Musicians are no different. Your point is valid, Clapton and Hendrix are two of the most influential rock musicians in history and both borrowed from those greats that came before them.

Right on "and" Steve also.

rob morrison He got it from Jimi.

Fred Robinson Hendrix got from him you mean

How weird it must be to cover a song your friend made 50 years ago

qascarface Winwood had already covered it years earlier, I believe with Traffic--maybe more.

Ron Carpenter Steve Winwood played as a guest on Jimi Hendrix's studio version.

music doesnt get much better than this ...

not bad but gimme original any day forever jimi

that great feat by mister eric clapton and steve winwood ... basiclly the sound of ''voodoo child '' played on E major ...

What a great performance. In this video, the song is actually in the key of D minor. Clapton tuned his guitar down 2 semi-tones and played it in the E fingering.

Jimi would be proud seeing his two friends play an awesome version of his classic, Peace.

Mahdo1........It's not? How do you figure? Buy the electric ladyland album you cheapskate....

Couldn't agree more. Too many folk like to dissect each performance. I think we're so lucky to still hear that talent which won't be around for long. The kids of today couldn't reach those heights of skill and passion. A great tribute to their old mate Jimi

Rob Phillips

@mahdo1 I really like this version and thanks for posting and Stevie Ray Vaughn's. I did see that Jimi was inspired by Rollin Stone by Muddy Waters to create his version, but who cares? Muddy offers a basic blues song and Jimi gives a hard rock blues version. Again, all worthy in their own rite.

Ummmm, Electric Ladyland? Man if you had the vinyl you'd see on the label spinning around in the middle Winwood  & Hendrix are  credited as writer of this piece. So here we have a definitive version with a reasonable substitute on Guitar.    8>)

Hooked on this. Is Clapton tuned down 1/2 step ?

The original is tuned down a whole step

Good eye, I caught it too, haha. It's actually a whole step, but I didn't realize it til I started jamming along with it. Then I looked closer and saw that Steve is actually playing in D minor.

Kyle Smith Tuned down a whole step to Dm like the original.

This is the land for old men, Im one I know

Stop playing with the drawbars and play the keys, do a solo!!
jeeeeez

+Green River just listen

The bass player is lookin like a serial killer

serial lmao

+Jack Holland He could be out to kill cheerios right? lol. Thanks for catchin that

voodoo chile not voodoo child

@SetszawA right on!!

No! They are both Chile. It was a misprint on the American Electric Ladyland cover. It is a common misconception but I have evidence to prove it.

Charlie Brown Lol okay

What's so funny. It's true. It is voodoo Chile and Voodoo Chile (slight return)

@Christian Burroughs Charlie is right.... I find its funny when people like you think they know shit

For me Clapton singing these words is pretty absurd. He is a very good player of course. When Clapton rightly tried to get Buddy Guy the recognition he so deserved, he somehow made Buddy Guy into this thing he isn't - a British blues player, out of the rock fraternity. He messed up his tone in doing so. Of course I can't ever be someone else's experience of music, but I can point out subtleties and ironies within the music scene. Hey ho

@Simon Mclennan I loved Buddy Guy's work as a Chess gunslinger! I loved his later work too.I saw him at Hammersmith on 'The Real Deal' tour with GE Smith and it was a stunning night out! I told him so backstage after the gig! Your implication that he was somehow 'bent out of shape' by white English guitar players is ridiculous. And by the way, he's not Just a guitar player you know! Listen to his version of Marvin Gaye's 'Trouble Man'. He makes it his own. His vocal is extraordinary. You sound like one of those elitist 'white' blues guys that think you have to be black to play 'real' blues! It Don't Matter What Colour You Are. If You Got Ten Fingers You Can Play The Blues! Buddy Guy said that!

Ah, no, you perhaps misunderstand me - of course you are right, anyone can play the blues regardless of background etc. It was the latter tone that Guy had that I didn't personally like. If you like it - no problem for me.

Strange. Eric isn't singing the words. It's Stevie singing ,you prat.

And it's child not chile

Chile* 

@diegodewendu Google it

@Ron Chapman Jimi said everybody can call this song the way they want. Both versions.

Its Voodoo Chilè. You never hear them say child with d. Its voodoo Chilè

...classic, a great song, originally on electric ladyland....the original also featured the legendary stevie winwood on hammond organ....he must have been very young at the time...Jimi was very special....electric blues...won't see the like of him again...this performance is electrifying....a great tribute...

@Ignatius Harling Either Winwood was young then or he's older now. I'm not sure! It's hard to tell!

Thans true, this is the original song. The "famous" is voodoo child slicht return

Clapton sets fire to his guitar without lighter fluid....Thought it might explode.....

It might have exploded with a stick of dynomite up his ass........... such a disappointment......

müthişşşşş....

He's a god

Fuckin´Fantastic !!!

Seen them twice at MSG within 15-20 rows and Clapton jams the roof off on this Hendrix classic. Slowhand was so great he woke Mr. Jimi up!

Clapton. The man who gave us the riffs from Layla, Sunshine of your love, White Room and many others. Yet even still this doesn't prevent the idiot fraternity voicing their disdain. Simply put, he is amongst the greatest musicians in history and will be remembered as such, long after the opinionated keyboard warriors have been boxed up and buried.

Andy Thomas That’s comparing apples and oranges. It makes no sense.

@Andy Thomas so you are a foolish older person..clapton is one of the greatest the vast majority will disagree with you about Clapton contribution to music

@He Is Hephaestion That's Right! And whatever the Vast Majority say is 'Right' is it? What does that say about Taylor Swift...............or Oasis? Get real, the vast majority have little or no listening experience outside of their own limited noise of choice! Despite free access to anything they care to punch in to You Tube!

@Andy Thomas ah, you're one of those. just so you know, if 100 people think you're an asshole but you think you it's them chances are it's time for you to look in the mirror. there is truth in majority opinion. your mistake is assuming Taylor swift and everything played in the pop charts is loved by the vast majority. reality check..it isnt

@He Is Hephaestion Quiet!

That's what I'm talkin about...!

Increible el dios blanco!! Y se da el lujo de tocar con tres dedos

Very awesome version!!!!
