I stumbled upon one of these today and started to dig deeper....found videos of over 50 Hendrix tribute bands/impersonators....Someone needs to make a documentary about these guys...Here are some of the more interesting ones......Even if you are not a Hendrix fan you need to watch the first one.Gotta be the world's only guitarless Jimi impersonator..(Winslow related)I apologize if these take up too much bandwidth or somesuch...if it does just delete 'em.

    Nice post. That Jimy Blue from the last video was actually pretty good on the guitar plus he's the only one who plays left-handed like Hendrix himself. Gotta give him credit for that.
    Also, the Michael Winslow performance was killing it!

    Windslow is bananas!!!!

    There's a dude in my hood who has been channelling Jimi for minute now. Dude STILL rocks some bell bottom denim and a tie die t-shirt. Back in the 80's he'd walk thru the hood w/ his getup and his guitar headin for a "gig" or somethin. Kids used clown on him like "Purple Haze!!!!All in my jeans!!!" What's up Jimi?" He secretly like that shit. Lo and behold dude was on the Apollo TV Show for like 2 nights and dudes couldnt hatt anymore. I still see dude.
