I think
this trumps all 3, Stevie Ray Vaughn in Toronto in 1983. Little Wing has always been my favourite Hendrix song and SRV improved on the original by tenfold.
Kinda makes me sad when I consider that there aren't any new, young, popular guitarists producing records anymore. I'd be quite happy to see a reality TV programme like X-Factor come out, but just for artists playing original material using real instruments. No drum machines, no (c)rap, no dancey dancey bollocks. Just proper musicians playing proper instruments and spanning different genres like rock, metal, blues, jazz, funk, proper R&B, proper soul, classical etc etc.
I'm hoping that in the next 5 years or so stuff like Rocksmith is going to encourage kids to play the guitar again...but I won't hold my breath.
