Roger also
recently stated that:
""Mick Jagger, you've got to take your hat off to him. He's the number one rock 'n' roll performer." He continued with a laugh: "But as a band, if you were outside a pub and you heard that music coming out of a pub some night, you'd think, 'Well, that's a mediocre pub band!'"For comparision...here is Buddy Guy:

I'd say Rog is right.
But Moonie was one-of-a-kind.

Doesn’t bother me one wit that either Jimi or Rodger stole Buddy Guy’s moves. Both of them, Jimi and Rodger, were instrumental to our music today.
I am very partial to Jimi Hendrix. My range of music goes from classical to blues, and Jimi is in there somewhere.’

It is a Question of venue.

In their prime, nobody was better than The Who live. They put the Stones and Zeppelin to shame in terms of live performances.

I will say that Jimi’s improvision of music was top knotch, ie the National Anthem. Compared to roger Daltrey he was a master.

And Lefties don’t want to hear it, but Jimi hated Commies.

‘“When they got on the amphetamines, the music just turned to a load of crap.’
Makes great sense. I’ve been around a few times.

I think we've discussed this before, but during that concert's performance of
"Water" at the 5:12 mark during the stop, Moon bounces the stick in his RIGHT hand off the snare, grabs it on the bounce with his LEFT hand, transfers the original stick in his left hand to his RIGHT hand to hit the crash cymbal on time.
Absolutely flipping brilliant.

Jimi was a good ole boy of Americana. A soldier. He was worthy, IMO.

I really think we are comparing apples to oranges here. There was a different vibe with each musician/band.

That’s a very acceptable pick, they are complete savages at that show. I know I like Isle of Wight better than Leeds.

No other guitarist changed the direction of the guitar like Hendrix.
He created a whole new sound emanating from an amplifier that is still an influence on guitar players today.
When Hendrix played you heard colors for the first time...

100% in agreement.
They never sold as many albums as Zeppelin, or had the drama of the Stones, but they could blow both of them off the stage.
Townshend's induction of the Stones into the Rock Hall is a masterpiece. THAT is how you do it...some adulation, some roasting, some barbs, but ultimately love and respect.
