Lyrics were also sometimes switched around or even omitted. Not much else differed from the original recording, apart from the improvised, lengthened solo and small differences in the bends in the main riff. When performed live, "Can You See Me" was much faster than the original studio version. The riff would stop dead just before verses and a reverbed one-note bend would lead into the the question, "can you see me?" The drums in the song are tight throughout the verses but really let rip when the vocals stop, featuring classic Mitch Mitchell fast fills. "Can You See Me" was fronted by a pure rock riff as written by Hendrix. The lyrics of the song suggest a theme of repressed emotions and the inability to communicate which often leads to the downfall in relationships. ![]() When the Monterey performance was documented on the film Jimi Plays Monterey in 1986, "Can You See Me" was played as the introduction, accompanied by a famous street painting of Hendrix by Denny Dent. Performed less than ten times, the final time it appeared was at Monterey, where it appeared in the middle of the set. Before being released on the international version of Are You Experienced in May 1967, the song was performed live a number of times, firstly on January 29th. "Can You See Me" was recorded in November 1966, on only second or third Experience recording session. ![]()
