I had the pleasure of playing drums with Eddie for two years. Performed in small halls to get back to his roots.

I was/am a huge Hendrix fan, had all his records, and I wondered then and later, how come there weren't more black guitar players of that caliber around doing rock, was he a fluke or something? Years later, I dug Vernon Reid, but again, he was almost the only black guy I was hearing. Not long ago, I tripped over P_Funk on youtube, and now I know they were there all along, and Eddie is at least co-equal with Jimi in my thinking. Chop for chop and lick for lick, I think Eddie stands up to any of the other hot European and American blues-based guitarists- Clapton, Beck, Green, Santana, West, Bloomfield, etc., and with maybe two "bonus" points. Eddie could lay back and play ensemble back-up flawlessly, then step up and solo like a fiend, yet never overwhelm his band-mates; and second, when given his head Eddie could take a theme and run with it, solo for ever, and not get repetitive, 10 or more solid minutes of musical story, all fresh and cliche-free. Unfortunately for us all, P-Funk and Eddie Hazel were never marketed/promoted to the white rock audience, too black for white America. We weren't ready for the funk, the package was just too strange, and more's the pity. In just the P-Funk mob alone, you had great guitarists coming out of the woodwork, and Eddie was the first of them. I'm eternally grateful. Universal love.

I think Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Hazel were two people that were the top of there game. And always will be. Instead of putting people down because people think one is better than the other we should just be happy that they was able to share there talent with us, and their talent was recorded for all of us to remember them and learn from them. There are so many talented guitarest thats gone and some that's here ...give all of them the respect they deserve....

Here it is 2020 . I have been funking since America Eats it's young ...but damn this just took this 60 year.old back to the mothership.

Eddie Hazel is a saint in my Olmec Temple.

I've heard many a wonderful guitarist in my day, but this man was/is the greatest of those I've heard. As great as he was for both Parliament & Funkadelic, I've always felt his talents were not used to their fullest. The stuff he recorded on the side circa 1973 to 1977 that's coming out in the last few years in things like this, JAMS FROM THE HEART, & REST IN P, I wish had been given proper studio treatment, packaged in solo albums & released back then. Thanks for the upload and all the work you did to clean it up.

Eddie used some of voodoo chile in this and does some kickass riffs too bad hendrix never got to experience the mothership he would have loved funkadelic

IF U DONT KNOW..... NOW U KNOW.. EDDIE IS A BEAST

Hits you right in the soul.

Jerome Bigfoot Brailey on Drums...(in the background*)

Nice post. I knew he was better than we were allowed to hear.

this has got to be my favorite eddie jam. GOD DAMN!!

This is so fuckin cool. Thanks for posting. No music was harmed: you crazy.

Jimi will NEVER be forgotten, but Eddie is close

I do believe this jam is "Heavens to Mergatroid" if I'm not mistaken. This shit just hits the spot, man...far fucking out.

BADASS EDDIE HAZEL= BADASS JAM!!

you did a great mix! sounds amazing! give thanks for keeping Eddie's music alive!

Simply Aaaamazing !!!!!!

The O.G Maggot Brain😎

ZOUNDS! I love it!

This is heavan to megatroid.

To the small minded idiot who went on the ignorant tirade against Jimi Hendrix. Expanding ones musical horizons and being open to exploring all kinds of music was what Jimi was all about, what need was there to curse him out like that? I love Eddie Hazel and Eddie was about the same thing, though Hendrix was my all time favorite , i heard Eddie first!!! Appreciate, and respect and love them both for what they gave us!!

that's what I call taking a trip, just epic

2nd greatest guitar player ever!

Lovely playing

Now , I gotta get me a little California dreaming.

Jimi was the star of his thing while eddie was a team player if eddie had his own thing and group and cut all ties with george instead of always going back to george crying he might have had better ljck making it but eithet eddie was scared to go further or it was the drugs or racism in the industry who knows theres plenty of stuff eddie recorded thats unreleased listen tk eddies home ffom the tamurinillis album

thankyouthankyouthanyou

Amazing

DAMN

another banger is Eddie's home go check it out Eddie kills the solo

I know that the black community will always prefer the talented guitarists Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Hazel and they are fantastic but there is another that has taken what they started and evolved it to a level that defies comprehension...and his name is Buckethead. He also performed alongside Bernie Worrell and Bootsie Collins, if you still need a reason to check him out. Just look up Praxis.

i would definitely like a copy myself i cant find eddies stuff anywhere

This is just stupid how good it is
