Now for the review of the show from August 26th, 2017 at Northampton, Massachusetts Iron Horse Music Hall
Northampton's Iron Horse Music Hall Got "Experienced" by Kiss The Sky: The Jimi Hendrix ReExperience
By
Ed Wrobleski Host/Producer of Talking Hendrix on www.bostonfreeradio.com Wednesday evenings from 5-7 p.m.
August 27, 2017
Kiss The SKy: The Jimi Hendrix ReExperience are one of few tribute bands out there doing what they do best which is paying homage to legendary rock icon Jimi Hendrix. The Show on Saturday night August 26th, featured three sets of music the first set contained music from Jimi Hendrix's Experience band featuring Ted Edwards as Mitch Mitchell on drums, AJ Hager as Noel Redding on bass guitar, and Jimy Bleu as none other than Jimi Hendrix on guitar. The first set opened with title track of Jimi's first album "Are You Experienced", and from there the crowd which was from my perspective just in awe from the stage presense from seeing Bleu who resembles Jimi perfectly with all of his manurisms and moves, it is safe to say that Jimi is being channeled through Bleu's performance, in the opening set we heard so many Experience classics such as "Hey Joe", "Spanish Castle Magic", "The Wind Cries Mary", "Fire", "the band was definitely on top of their game Ted Edwards played with precision just like Mitch Mitchell and even looked the part of Mitch as well, and AJ Hager was groovin' on the bass looking and acting just like Noel Redding would in any of Jimi's live performances, the opening set closed out paying tribute to one of Hendrix's icon's Chuck Berry with a rockin' rendition of Berry's classic "Johnny B. GOode", just in the way Jimi had performed it in his live shows, you could feel the electricity and energy coming off the stage.
The Second set was in honor of the Band Of Gypsys, again opening the set was a spot on version of the song "Who Knows", featuring James Jackson as Buddy Miles on drums and vocals, and Chuck Dunlap-Ellis as Billy Cox on bass guitar and of course Jimy Bleu as Jimi Hendrix on guitar and vocals I felt this set was a little short but again left the crowd electrified, in the set we heard "Power Of Soul", "Them Changes", a Buddy Miles penned track letting James Jackson shine on the lead vocals on this rockin' and audience participation track, "Machine Gun", which Bleu paid tribute to all the war veterans in the crowd and again James Jackson's precision drumming on this particular piece especially getting the drums to sound just like a machine gun firing off, and of course we also heard "Message To Love" in this Band of Gypsys stellar set.
The closing set of the night combined both the Experience and Band of Gypsys playing together on stage with Bleu finishing the show with what we would call a best of Hendrix set featuring classics like "If 6 Was 9", "Little Miss Lover", "Red House", "Rock Me Baby", "Purple Haze", a spectacular rendition of Jimi's "Star Spangled Banner", and the finale for the night was "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" which brought the crowd to their feet cheering for more.
These musicians are all seasoned pros who've played and worked with many talents just to name a few blues legends Pinetop Perkins, Debbie Davies, Aerosmith, and many more. Kiss The Sky is not just a band who plays Jimi's music this is like a broadway show they use exact equipment from the periods like the Marshall amplifiers, Ludwig drums, they wear the period clothing just like the Experience and Band of Gypsys wore, and Jimy Bleu gives a 110% performance playing the guitar and doing the things Hendrix himself did such as playing behind his back, with his teeth and so much more. If they come to a town near you, i'll say this much you will not be disappointed with this show at all, below is the list of songs they performed in the show.
Are You Experienced , Spanish Castle Magic, Castles Made Of Sand, May This Be Love, Foxy Lady, Hey Joe, Johnny B. Goode
Alll Along The Watchtower ,Fire, Red House, Rock Me Baby, Power Of Soul, Message To Love, Machine Gun, Voodoo Chile (Slight Return), Them Changes, Who Knows, Purple Haze, Litttle Wing, Little Miss Lover, Axis Bold As Love, If 6 Was 9, Star Spangled Banner, The Wind Cries Mary, Hear My Train A-Comin', Stone Free
