Belated thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for posting the music video of Stevie Ray Vaughan performing his excellent cover of Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) on 9/21/1985 at Capitol Theatre, Passaic, New Jersey.

For comparison
Jimi Hendrix "Voodoo Chile Slight Return" Live Sweden1969

Song background "This song turned out to be the last one Jimi Hendrix performed live. It was at a concert in Germany on the 16th of September 1970, 12 days before his death.
When this track was released as a single in the UK in 1970, a week after Hendrix died, it became his only number-one hit in that country.
The Music Radar website readers voted that this song had the best guitar riff in rock'n'roll history."

"Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" written by Jimi Hendrix
Lyrics
"Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
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 you 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
I'll meet you in 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, baby

I'm a voodoo child, baby
I don't take no for an answer
Question no
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child, baby"
