A good example of playing from the soul.

Hi Hou-Tex,I don't know where you got the info that Eric hated Jimi as nothing could be further from the truth.Jimi and Eric spent a lot of time iin each other's company,not only because they were claimed to be the best guitarists in the world,but because they were on the same intellectual level and shared many common interests.At Jimi's last indoor British concert Eric brought along a lefty Strat to give Jimi but Jimi didn't know that Eric was near the place and left the venue right after his set.Eric just figured that he'd give it to Jimi the next time that he saw him,sadly the next time that he saw him was at his wake.Eric was in bits after Jimi died as both he and Eric Burden were Jimi's best friends.

E.C. has said in interviews many times that he loved Jimi dearly and very shortly after Jimi's death He,Steve Winwood,Rick Grech et al. did a long and almost mournful version of Little Wing at the Fillmore West.
