Experience Hendrix at Benedum Theater in Pittsburgh, PA

Experience Hendrix is a tribute concert that has been criss-crossing the country over the last year or so. Here was the lineup for the show I saw in Pittsburgh: Billy Cox of The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Band Of Gypsys, Steve Vai, Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Eric Johnson, Brad Whitford of Aerosmith, Cesar Rosas & David Hidalgo of Los Lobos, Living Colour, Chris Layton of Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble, Ernie Isley, Mato Nanji of Indigenous, and The Slide Brothers.
The show was entertaining although it often disintegrated into a lot of guitar players trying to out-Hendrix Hendrix which of course is impossible.  Below are two of the more interesting performances.

The first video is of Jonny Lang and various performers doing Fire.


The second video is of Kenny Wayne Shepard playing Let the Good Times Roll
