Zappa said (in an interview in ‘High Times’ I think it was) that Hendrix’ peak was “Manic Depression”. From a technical standpoint Zappa was better, and he has a much larger body of surviving work, but I’d rather listen to Hendrix. If I had a time machine, I’d sneak into one Zappa show, but sneak into all of Hendrix’. :’)
Wanted to send you a link of Hendrix' hits which included Manic Depression but all found was one link with Manic Depression included in Hendrix' hits and the link was full of commercials. Dang commercials ... My intentions were good ...
We stayed for Hendrix at Woodstock. Would have gone home and gotten a shower if it was Zappa.
