Mike Waghorne… Little wing !

Andy Qunta… Voodoo Chile (Slight Return).

Glenn Piper… Voodoo Child (slight return) and Machine Gun

Karen Sweatman… Voodoo Chile, but also love Foxy Lady

John Beeching… Third stone from the sun.

Pete Houghton… Cross town traffic and Voodoo Chile

David Edwards… Gotta be the first he brought out when he came here Hey Joe

Jan Warren… Hard to name just one….. but Little Wing, Bold as Love, Red House, Drifting, and 1983 (a merman I should Turn to be) will do for starters!

David Blundell… Still “Hey Joe” for me but there’s so many classics to choose from …

Alan Esdaile… I would probably go with Little Wing.

Paul Richardson… Red House, and Voodoo Chile (long version)

Phil Little… Voodoo Chile (long version)

Merv Kennard… Voodoo Chile

Nash Sunley… All along the watchtower

Phil Thornton… 1983 (A Merman I should turn to be) and Machinegun !!

Clifford Rose… 3rd stone from the sun

Neil Cartwright… Little Wing, Voodoo Chile/Third Stone

Dave Nattress… Gotta be All along the Watchtower. No so often is a cover better than the original but this is. But…there’s gotta be the original to enable the cover to be re-worked.

Mike Vawdrey… 2 1970 entries – the astonishing live Johnny B. Goode from Berkeley and the beautiful ballad Drifting (Cry Of Love)

Clive Richardson… My favourite is All Along The Watchtower.

Chris Meachen… Burning of the midnight lamp does it for me….

Jennie Tocock… Wind Cries Mary

Micky Erends… All along the watchtower

Colin Bell… Are You Experienced’ & ‘Fire’ both on Jimi’s debut album

Graham Bradley… Hey Joe

David Miller… Voodoo Chile (slight return). “Slight” my @r$e…”thunderous, tumultuous, goosebumpifyingly wild return”, more likely – especially when it shifts into high gear at the beginning…! Only other time I can think of being similarly walloped is when “Fly on a windshield” kicks in on the Lamb Lies Down. Brrrr!!!

John Wilde… David, completely agree, my choice also. xx

Malcolm Sharp… Purple haze

Andy Qunta… Tough question! Probably Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)

Jan Warren… Too many to say!

Elizabeth Murby… All along the Watchtower

JS Bythesea… Hey Joe

Bennet Kingston… Machine Gun (Band of Gypsys)

Chris Brunton… Little Wing

Keren Brunton… All along the watchtower
