SONG OF THE DAY

Like a Rolling Stone (Live) - Jimi Hendrix Experience

According to Rolling Stone magazine this is the greatest song of all time and I can’t really argue. This Hendrix cover from the Monterey Pop Festival is really good. From Wikipedia:

Jimi Hendrix huddled backstage before the Monterey Pop Festival with Pete Townshend, Janis Joplin, and Brian Jones. When Townshend insisted that Hendrix headline over the Who that day, Hendrix said, “If I’ve gotta follow you on, I’m gonna pull all the stops”.Hendrix then blazed through a 45-minute set capped by setting his guitar afire, then smashing it and throwing the remnants into a delirious crowd who were watching Hendrix’s first-ever American show. Hendrix is said to have taken several “hits” of LSD before his performance.
