After arriving in London, Hendrix sat in on a Cream show, and asked if he could jam with Eric Clapton and the band. This was an audacious request; Cream, the world's first rock and roll supergroup, were especially famous for their skill as live performers. Undaunted, Hendrix gets on stage and launches into Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor." He's a one man spectacle, playing with his teeth, behind his back, between his legs, all without breaking a sweat. This kind of showboating got Jimi in trouble with some of the bands he previously played with, but he blew away the audience in London. Clapton, who had previously deemed the song "impossible" to play, could only look on in awe. He was rock's reigning guitar God, a title he earned in part due to a famous piece of graffiti at a subway station in Islington, and he had just been upstaged.
The song would become a staple of Jimi's live act with the Experience. It was part of the band's famous set at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, and was also included in the Winterland box-set. The band also recorded a version for BBC Radio. Hendrix played the song at a much faster pace than the original, and re-wrote the bass and rhythm guitar parts as well. Read more on Last.fm.
