Voodoo Child (Slight Return) by The Jimi Hendrix Experience (Live In Maui, 1970)

From the Album  Live In Maui

Experience Hendrix announces a brand new collection that couples the new feature-length documentary Music, Money, Madness . . . Jimi Hendrix In Maui with the accompanying live performances on both audio and video. The film chronicles the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s storied visit to Maui, and how the band became ensnared with the ill-fated Rainbow Bridge movie and incorporates never before released original footage and new interviews. The Blu-ray will include the full documentary film plus all the footage from the two-afternoon performances captured on July 30, 1970, mixed in both stereo and 5.1 surround sound. Also included in the package will be Live In Maui – A two-CD set featuring Hendrix, Billy Cox, Mitch Mitchell at the height of their playing powers, newly restored and mixed by longtime Hendrix engineer Eddie Kramer.

It’s incredible how crisp and clear this footage is. This is probably the highest quality 1970 video I have ever seen! He was ahead of his time. Jimi Hendrix Forever!

Lyrics:
Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand

Yeah
Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island
Might even raise a little sand
Yeah
‘Cause I’m a voodoo child

Lord knows I’m a voodoo child baby
I want to say one more last thing
I didn’t mean to take up all your sweet time
I’ll give it right back to ya one of these days
Hahaha
I said I didn’t mean to take up all your sweet time
I’ll give it right back one of these days
Oh yeah
If I don’t meet you no more in this world then uh
I’ll meet ya on the next one
And don’t be late
Don’t be late!

‘Cause I’m a voodoo child voodoo child
Lord knows I’m a voodoo child
Hey hey hey
I’m a voodoo child baby
I don’t take no for an answer
Question no
