Jimi Hendrix wrote "Manic Depression" and cut it with the Experience in 1967 for their debut album, Are You Experienced, and for all the clinical title, it's a lovesick song at heart: critic William Ruhlmann heard romantic frustration in the words far more than any textbook diagnosis. The music whips along at a fast clip in compound triple meter, Mitch Mitchell's drums swinging like a jazzman's while the guitar and bass run the same line side by side.

Recordings of it played live surfaced much later, on BBC Sessions in 1998 and Winterland in 2011.
