    That someone would dislike that version?
    There is a long list of shit I don't like.  :lol:

    Clapton is not my favorite dude, either.

    Clapton is high on my shit list (and really hasn't made anything great since 1970) but I've always loved the Dominoes version. Well, if it loses it loses.

    I should've put this on there - is it too late to modify?

    I always thought it was odd that Neil Young, being as big a Hendrix fan as he is, would title one of his own songs "Little Wing".  Nice song (although I'm not a fan of the harmonica sound on this one), but I wish it had a diffident title like, perhaps, "Don't Fly Away" or at least "Little Wing, Don't Fly Away"

    There are several live renditions on various albums of Jimi playing Little Wing live.  It shows up on ton of unofficial records and boots including these two records that I found over the years where it is listed as "Little Ivey" on both records and was recorded at the Royal Albert Hall, Feb. 18, 1969:

    I always like that version.

    This is irritating and somewhat offensive when the f*cking whistle thing comes in.

    I love getting out my Little Martin LX1 and playing "Little Wing".  Such a sweet song and it inspires me to play better than I usually do.
