The spirit of Jimi Hendrix was alive and well Thursday night in Paris, France when American Idol season eight runner up Adam Lambert graced the crowd with a rousing rendition of Hendrix’s classic hit “Purple Haze.”

Lambert performed the cover of Hendrix’s 1967 smash as an encore for his French fans, part of his Glam Nation Tour that will continue in Germany tomorrow night.

Do YOU think Lambert did “Purple Haze” justice?
