The Jimi Hendrix || “Little Wing” (Demo)
This version is my favorite of this great tune. Jimi and the band are working on an arrangement and finding a really good one.
The solo here is better than the record.
How were you first approached about Back to the Future?
Robert Zemeckis, Steven Spielberg and Bob Gale, who produced, directed and wrote the film respectively, asked for a meeting. We went to Amblin Entertainment in Los Angles. They said, “Look, we’ve written this film, and the lead character is this teenager, Marty McFly. His favorite band would be Huey Lewis and the News. Would you like to write a song?” I said, “I’m flattered, but I’ve never written for a film. We’ll send you the next thing we write.” That was “Power of Love.” I didn’t think it would work since there was no love interest in the film, but clearly they used it pretty well.
When I talk about recreating the spirit of that world, the music is as important as the dialogue and the behavior. From 1947 on, music scored what was happening in the streets, the back rooms. And it affected, sometimes, the behavior of the people, because this music was playing in the streets. Jukeboxes were brought out during the summer. Windows were open, and you could hear what everybody else was listening to. It expresses the excitement of the time. Simply, it’s the way I saw life. The way I experienced life. - Martin Scorsese.

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to hear “Carry On Wayward Son” without thinking of Supernatural. Ever. Like. Ever.
Or, really, Eye of the Tiger without thinking of Dean and his air leg guitar.
