There's an entire blog dedicated to Jimi Hendrix's banter. It's called, not surprisingly, Jimi Banter.
My favorite Jimi banter is the one before "Machine Gun" on the "Band of Gypsys" album. It's both funny and touching - but after that 10-minute Stratocaster blitzkrieg, that banter sounds so meaningful.
It's sad that I am such a Jimi fanboy I find even his banter profound.

You can get done barking orders at me, and then we'll get on with the show, OK? Or actually, let's have a moment of silence for 60's nostalgia. I don't even remember the 60's. But I did remember the words to Desolation Row.

We got a case of broken strings. I didn't mean to say that we've got a whole case full of broken strings, but we got a case of .... case of... Anyway, we've got a broken string. So we're going to FIX it!
You're probably wondering why we called you all here tonight. The upshot of it is, that one of ya is a Venusian spy. We believe that this spy will reveal him/his or herself shortly.
... and many many more. i strongly recommend the "yellow dog" story -- too long to post here!
Yup, Weir is funnier :) (and note that he also makes a reference to Dylan. Must be a 60s thing.)
