The Hamsters, Little Wing - The Jimi Hendrix Memorial Concerts 1995 [1996]
I keep meaning to see The Hampsters when they play locally, as they do, and it's the Hendrix set I'd be keen to hear. Apart from the shite cover, this is brilliant Hendrix repackaging - the guitar of Snail's-Pace Slim (Barry Martin) being the obvious gem in a tight mimetic trio. When you love a song so much like Little Wing, it does surprise when another version can stand alongside so confidently. The extended opening guitar work is perfect.
