Singing, chewing gun, playing with his teeth, playing behind his neck all while being charismatic and incredible at everything he did. Jimi was light years ahead of his time and he changed music forever. He came here from somewhere else, gave us his tremendous gifts and then went home.
And playing a right handed guitar upside down with his left hand 😅
I actually thought he was an alien visiting us when I first heard Are You Experienced!
and while tripping his balls off on good 70s acid..
@@bethshadid2087 that's not that difficult he would just string it upside-down he preferred the right handed guitar because he could work the knobs with the heel of his strumming hand for crazy effects
Powerful comment
There will never be another Jimi. He was one of a kind; the greatest guitarist that ever lived...RIP
@@cesarrivero338 half black but yeah, he was half native American i believe Cherokee
Let’s give some love to Mitch’s epic drum fills!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Dude put in work
Perfect drummer to back up Hendrix
absolutely legendary percussionist
All 3 were experienced 😉
Yes!!!
I've been a Hendrix fan since I was 11 years old, I was musically traumatized in a good way FOREVER, and I'm now that I'm 68 WELL, I only came here NOT to hear Jimi Hendrix but primarily to see ya'lls reaction; and is it any way similar to what I EXPERIENCED when I was 11 years old hence the appropriate name "THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE"! I have TEARS in my eyes to see ya'll NEXT GEN show appreciation for OUR MUSICAL HISTORY. This man changed my life musically and the MUSIC INDUSTRY in the PRESENT and FUTURE to this day. This is why I wasn't disappointed at all, and I really enjoyed both BJ'S and Asia's, especially her WOMAN'S PERSPECTIVE (EXTRA TREAT)! I was moved by your reaction; THANK YOU, SISTER Asia and Brother BJ!
❤️
What's crazy to me is, no one ever comments about drummer Mitch Mitchell on drums. You can't have the Hendrix Experience without him! What a rocket fire drummer ...DAMN!
Mitch was the perfect fit.
Yes, and Noel Redding as well. The story goes another black artist, not sure who, asked him why he had to back up his band with white guys and he replied, "I wanted the *best*, and they are the *best*.
Watch Hendrix in Maui; Mitch Mitchell sells out on drums for an hour straight, apparently no breaks.
Itz probably, MOSTLY, bcause Mitch wuz not shown.
I recommend Mitch doing a solo n da middle of VOODOO CHILD, n Sweden.
Mitch wuz such a bad-azz showman, n dat bit & even tho da band wuz having problemz nternally, da way da band came back n, after Mitch soloed, provez The Experience, wuz a bad-azz BAND!
It's a tragedy because Mitch was a beast.
The real genius of Jimi was that he was left handed but, instead of paying a lot of money [at the time] for a left-handed guitar, he just turned a right-handed guitar upside down and played it - upside down.
Exactly, he can’t be perfectly emulated since he played the guitar with the strings in the opposite sequence to everyone else.
Yes Jimi Hendrix played a right handed guitar left-handed but the strings were also set up as if it were a left-handed guitar!! With that said Jimi Hendrix actually could take a right handed guitar turn it around and play without messing with the strings at all.
On more than one occasion he said he never wanted to play the same song the same way twice. That's why when you hear the same song on two different recordings it sounds different.
Strings turned around, but the pickups were not, and the bridge was left alone too..... caused the strings to be at the "wrong" height....
There is a blues lady, Elizabeth Cotten, who was also left handed so she learned to play with the strings upside down, there are some videos of her playing on UA-cam
Fun fact: Jimi had served in the 101st airborne division as a paratrooper, having completed 26 parachute jumps before he was discharged from the military.
Many younger people don't know that.
yes. he served 60-62 I believe. Just before Vietnam kicked off.
Ft Campbell KY....for sure. Who Ahhhhh!
@@roadamerica33lucky
@@chrishadorn9272 yes, Ft. Campbell Ky. My pops went through there little later.
I'm 72 yrs old. I'm so proud and blessed I saw JIMI twice in Houston Tx.Awesome.
Jimi walked on the stage at Monterey a rumor, and walked off it a legend. This was his first major performance back home in America after breaking out in England. Brian Jones from The Rolling Stones flew all the way over just to introduce him. One of the epic performances of all time.
agreed!
Yes , CHAZ CHANDLER of the ANIMALS brought Jimi over to England and he was well received by fans and musicians ,he asked to sit in with Cream one night, after the gig a stunned Clapton said "I'd heard he was good I didn't know he was that good".
Should check out Jimi’s cover of Dylan’s “All Along The Watchtower” (studio version). when Bob Dylan heard it the first time he said Jimi owns it now. Respect.
Good call..... Literally no one who has ever heard his cover of this song ... doesn't love it....
Hendrix loved Dylan, he covered a few of his songs.
@@emcsquared8681 I must confess I don't get Dylan...when Dylan does it, but when people cover his stuff I like it, but particularly Jimi, All Along the Watchtower is something else!!
Dylan says when he plays it, it's like a tribute to Jimi
Greatest wah wah solo ever recorded.
Asia, your expression during the guitar solo is priceless
Amen lol
This never gets old,I love people’s reactions to seeing Jimi play this song for the first time 🎸🎸🎸
Or just seeing Jimi play.
Exactly !!!!
When Asia started freakin' out over Jimi's guitar "licks," I was thinking about what would happen when Jimi started playing the guitar behind his back....
She had to brush her hair after that song. I think she had the big O. 😂😂😂😂😂
With his tongue? 🤣
THESE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE SO OLD... THEY LACK HUMOR AND INSTINCTS.
Jimi is like Jordan. He was the first of his kind and changed the game. And ever since everyone has been trying to emulate him. Easily the GOAT.
Agree. Whether or not someone agrees he’s the best, it’s hard to argue he’s the most important guitar player. After him Everyone wanted to be that.
If I'm not mistake the story goes when he went to UK for the 1st time Plant , Clapton , Townsend , etc got a look at him & knew the bar had been set & they had to get better
This
There are YT comments out there that state "Gallacher was better than Hendrix", or "Clapton was better than Hendrix", or "Beck was better than Hendrix". Note that it's always Hendrix. Tastes may vary; however, if there's no agreement as to who's the best, Jimi is the benchmark.
They're saying Lebron Hendrix is better than Jimi. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jimi is the 60s rock and roll bad ass. Way ahead of everyone. Still one of the main guitar gods.
"All Along the Watchtower", "Fire", " The Wind Cries Mary", "Little Wing", and "If 6 were 9" are some Hendrix tunes you should react to.
Mitch Mitchell on the drums just drove this song!!
He is so slept on when drummers are concerned. He always matches the energy of the song & sits so right in the pocket, it's like him & Jimi were linked.
I’ve always said this but Mitch Mitchell is one of the most underrated drummers ever. His stuff on this one, watchtower, killing floor etc is just ground breaking. This is way back in the 60s too before many others copied it
@@vicegripp Not only matches it but sometimes outshines it! Especially on tracks like Fire and Third Stone from the Sun.
TJHE was one of the tightest trios ever
Mitch is hands down, AWESOME on the drums!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now you know why Jimi Hendrix is a guitar legend, this was going on in the 60s and 70s, no fancy electronics just Jimmy and his guitar
Jimi was the man!!! Being a teen in the 60's was the best ever to see artists as him that changed the music scene!!!
Now you know how we felt 50 years ago. He pretty much set the standard for electric guitarists ever since. In fact, there are two periods in the history of the electric guitar: before Hendrix and after Hendrix.
Check out his performance of the song Wild Thing at that same concert (Monterey Pop 1967). I'm not gonna spoil it for you, but allow me to share a story.
I showed that video to a colleague at work who's from China. He's never heard of Hendrix, and considered Justin Beiber to be wild and crazy music. I wish I'd taken a picture of the look on his face! He was in shock.
Not wrong. Picked up Are You Experienced in 67 and Foxey Lady started. Australian version. We were completely blown away. Nothing ... nothing came even close. Haha ... glad I'm old and lived through all this.
Me sigue dejando en estado de shock después de 40 años.
Yes. "Wild Thing" performance is epic in the analogs of Rock concert history. I was at the Monterey Fairgrounds in 2014. It wasn't as cool as 1967
I can just imagine how they felt the first time they saw him play the guitar behind his head or with his teeth. No one did it like T-Bone Walker, born 1910. 😁
Jimi is almost universally known as the undisputed GOAT of guitar playing
jimi said SRV was
@@kyebo1776 and I couldn't hate somebody that said Stevie
@@dvdgway all good! i bet SRV said the same about Jimi
@@kyebo1776 That's not true, SRV would of been 13 years old when Jimi died and a nobody at that point practicing in his room.
@@kovugreen Bro straight lyin lol
Asia's reaction/freak out to seeing Jimi doing the solos with his tongue and behind his head, while chewing gum 😂
Classic ❤️
If you look at jimi's sheet music, you can see how the notes all dance together across the page so beautifully. Jimi was so awesome, even the sheet music danced
Up from the skies...Came a visitor who was so extraordinarily talented that the likes of his contemporaries were questioning their ability as guitarist...He was here and gone too quickly, but just long enough to record his music and I will never get tired of the listening to....RIP Jimi .🎸🎶❤
Love a bit of Jimi, a real pioneer on the guitar and wrote some lovely songs. Try Castles made of sand :)
PS When Jimi played with his teeth "Jimi is the GOAT", "Jimi is the most" - Jimi: "Hold my beer" *Puts guitar behind his head and plays*
I find the teeth is much harder than behind the back or head. Behind the back is only hard in so much as your shoulders like to cramp up, behind the head is just uncomfortable, but with you teeth/ tongue is hard to get the right string with.
Jimi, the GOAT. Case closed. My inspiration to play guitar. Sorely missed, RIP Jimi.
Sadly a member of the 27 club. RIP
A new batch of purple acid was mixed up for this show. It was called Monterrey Purple. Jimi took two hits before hitting the stage. You can only imagine the psychedelic state he was in. The result was this epic masterpiece.
This was from Jimi's set at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. I have his whole set on DVD. He ended that set by sacrificing his guitar at the end of "Wild thing". He got on his knees with the guitar in front of him. He drenched it in lighter fluid and set it on fire. Then he stood up and grabbed the guitar by the neck and smashed it until it broke into 2 pieces and threw them both into the crowd and walked off stage.
Thing you have to remember is that no one was playing like that back in the day. Rock n Roll was still pretty new. He broke so much ground. With his music, his style, his sound.
I loved your reaction to this Jimi Hendrix classic! Jimi is the GOAT, hands down! So many amazing guitarists have been influenced by him! Many have imitated him but none have duplicated him! 💖💖
You have a lot of class listening to jimi it's nice to know some people are still true jimi fans.
Jimi = greatest guitarist of all time, absolute genius 🔥🔥🔥
That’s Jimi! Cool as cucumbers! Grew with him back in the late sixties as a teenager! My favourite guitarist by a mile!
I love watching people’s jaws drop when he plays with his teeth. Everytime I see someone react to JIMI I watch just to see the expressions on their faces. Love it
Imagine how Jimi felt when he first saw T-Bone Walker play with his teeth, behind his head, or doing the duck walk. And he was born in 1910. The OG GOAT.
We guitar players still study the technique and theory that Jimi put together. It was AND still is ground breaking and mind-blowing guitar musicianship. He could channel the energy of the universe through his guitar. Amazing man.
Jimi was an innovator who inspired many a musician in the years to come. His compositions "The Wind Cries Mary", "Little Wing", "Third Stone From The Sun" and "Red House" remains masterpieces covered by prominent artists like Sting, Eric Clapton, John McLaughlin, SRV, and Jaco Pastorious.
My Step Dad uses to help run an entertainment company in Indiana in the 60's, got Hendrix to play before some other band. He went on stage and tore it up, he was new to the scene, my Step Dad said people were speechless through his set. Said no one had ever heard anything like it before. Said Hendrix was one of the nicest, most unasuming people he ever met.
I saw Jimi Hendrix live in concert in 1968, about a year after this concert. it was an amazing thing to see, for sure.
A year earlier to that concert you went to (march 1967 to be exact), I was honoured to be in the support band to The Jimi Hendrix Experience in Boston, England. Can you imagine witnessing this phenomenon in that year and actually talking to him? I will take this experience to my grave.
Stevie ray Vaughan was often compared to and said to be the second coming of jimi Hendrix. Both flamboyant, both played guitar with their teeth and behind their heads and both had charisma and guitar skills off the charts. Sadly, both died young per tragic circumstances leaving a huge void in the music world. Considering how much music was in both of them and their legacy was and is cemented for all time was and is incredible.
How about this they all had something special. SRV often said when people said he was just like Hendrix. He said he was back up to Hendrix.
Anybody seen SRV?
SRV and BB King at Radio City
SRV is one of the best guitarists to ever play but Jimi Hendrix was also one of the best song creators ever. There's a reason so many have covered Little Wing and Voodoo Chile. We're talking Purple Haze in 1967. I love SRV but he can't be compared to Hendrix. As guitar players yes, but not as guitar players/song creators.
They are together now! What a jam!
I am old enough to be your grandfather ,and I would be proud to be . I am amazed that you young people like the music from my young time . Keep up the good work . Hendrix has to be one of the great guitar players of all time !!!! You can't imagine how sad we were at his passing .
I Love Jimi!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Killing floor from this concert was the greatest guitar performance I've ever seen.
♥ that song too!
FACTS
Get the DVD if you don't already have it... Killing Floor is awesome!!!
David Merlin. oh yeah. Opening number the jhe does at Monterey. A HOWLIN WOLF cover!! Killing Floor is the song Hendrix played when he burned GOD!! upon his arrival in London, autumn 1966. & god was there to witness it. Considered giving it all up after that spectacle! I actually favored CAN YOU SEE ME? at Monterey. no film on it tho.
@@RICHBLACKCOCK yea can you see me introduced his Sci fi elements in the pre solo octave thing
Jimmy is the greatest guitarist of all time, that is a right handed guitar as well wow r.i.p.❤👍🏴
Your response to his playing..Priceless!
Jimmy played guitar like we breath he 's a natural up on stage!!
Some of the greatest musicians of the era went to see him play in London, and they all left feeling like absolute beginners. Jimi was totally unique and a genius. He is still the greatest. I hope you catch The Wind Cries Mary sometime; completely blew my mind the first time I heard it when I was a kid, kerk
Jimi was the GOD. SRV was the executor of his will here on earth. Beeeeeeelieve IT!
Jimi Hendrix is without a doubt the greatest rock guitarist of al time.
I grew up listening to Jimi, purchased all his albums.....he blew our minds too!!!!
Jimi Hendrix is the greatest he was my introduction into classic rock.
Next up, Jimi playing "The Star Spangled Banner" live at Woodstock 1969. Iconic. 'Nuff said
Jimi was unknown in England when he got there. He went to a Jam Night in a small club where John and Paul from the Beatles were hanging out to listen. Jimi got invited up to play with the house band and did this song. Eric Clayton was supposed to play next and refused saying "after that what the he'll am I gonna do. No".
Jimi was awesome... Did anybody notice his guitar. He is playing a right hand guitat.Upside down backwards lol..CRAZY
Jimi and his guitar were one. He would practice all the time, he'd get up in the morning and carry his guitar around practicing that's how he got be be the best. I believe he was using his teeth to pull the strings even so he was a phenomena.
...you MUST watch his version of "The Star Spangles Banner" live at woodstock...BTW, he was using his teeth, not his tongue...
My first live concert was Jimi Hendrix at Maple leaf Gardens in Toronto 1968. I was 14 years old. First song was "FIRE" I've been a guitar player ever since. Check out my friends band SAGA "on the loose" recorded 1981. Live in Germany. Oh, about the gum, Jimi was a stoner, high most of the time. To create saliva he needed the gum. I've been there, l know. Nice job kids, 👏. ✌ also, check out Jeff Healy, greatest guitarist Canada has ever produced, and he's BLIND!! "See the light" live with Dr. John. And yes kids, he plays with his teeth as well. R.I.P. Jeff 🙏
I reacted the same way first time I saw Jimi on TV here in England , check out his version of Dylan's ALL ALONG the WATCHTOWER , or VOODOO CHILE.
Red house, is an absolutely undeniably brilliant piece of guitar work...
My favorite Jimi Hendrix 🎸 jam..!!! My deepest wish right now is that you two give it a listen.....✌
Yea red house
@@bustybobbuttertits3981 watch Jimi in Sweden 1969 do Red House excellent black and white video with great closeups
@@jimmorris67 Sadly, Red House is seldom mentioned as part of the Hendrix portfolio. For any down home blues lover it's top drawer.
@@jamil2447 have you seen the Sweden video?
@@jimmorris67 that version is good but the royal Albert hall is the best
I love your faces when Jimi does his Jimi thing🤣 now you know. Next should be Jimi version of the national anthem at Woodstock, then Stevie ray Vaughan, Texas Flood 💕
nah. move over SRV. Go to RANDY HANSEN!!! another SEATTLE gunslinger doing jh`s s 1983!! LIVE!! a song on Electric Ladyland that jimi himself never did perform onstage.
@@RICHBLACKCOCK tks! I'll check it out 🙂
Jimi & Stevie could conduct a symphony with their guitar skills.
God can you imagine?😂
@@mztweety1374 A lot of people over the years can still remember. Those legendary men can never be forgotten even if this generation is hearing it for the first time ever.
Jimi took guitar playing where it had never been before. He was absolutely naturally brilliant. He did befriend a young teenage guitarist (Randy California) and teach him how to play 'Hey Joe'. His band 'Spirit' was invited to open for him at Woodstock but were unable to make it. Check out Hey Joe - Night of the Guitars 1988.
That is a classic old Blues song from the 1930s, and Jimi's cover of it is spectacular!
no it was written in the 1960's by Billy Roberts and released by him in 1965. Jimi already had it in his set with Jimi and the Blue Flames when Chas Chandler saw him play in NY. Chas had been thinking of getting someone to record it and when Jimi played it the rest is history. unfortunately Chas was not great for Jimi's creativity and he was the one that bought in Mike Jefferies who ripped off and is seen as potentially behind Jimi's death. For his life insurance. Rot in hell jefferies.
Fun Fact: The reason Jimi could play his guitar behind his head like that is because Jimi was left handed and when he got his first guitar it was right handed so he would lay hanging upside down on his bed or like you just saw put it behind his head so he could practice .
No not really ... But a funny story 😛 almost all pro guitar players can do that ... Some very well and some only ok 😉
Remember folks Jimmy is the greatest guitar player ever. Period. No one will ever surpass him. I’m 73 and have heard it all.
Jimi Hendrix is considered the greatest guitarist of all time not because he was an indisputable virtuoso (which he was in in his own right) who can wow people with technicality and lightning speed but because of his revolutionizing aspect in guitar playing. There were far greater guitar players (from blues, classical and jazz), before, during that time and after if we're talking technicality and things like that but none were as influential as Jimi for years to come both in the world of rock music but also in the world of R&B, Soul, Funk and the remainder of pop music as we know it. His style and techniques were imitated and refined upon countless times but to this day none, not one, has been able to come up with something completely new and revolutionizing which can redefine rock and pop music for decades. In that regard, Jimi Hendrix is truly the greatest of all time.
There you have it boys and girls. The coolest rock musician that ever lived.
I was At that Concert and It was " Groovy " . I was Also at Woodstock too, Jimi was At his Best!!!!
Jimmy Hendricks a awesome guitar player, the song hey Joe back in 1967, when I was 1year old.May Jimmy Hendricks RIP 💐
He was ALWAYS jawing on some gum!!!!! I’ve never seen another singer do that EVER!
He was a legend with the ladies too! If you ever see him in an interview you can see why. He’s got this shy, soft spoken flirty thing going on. He’s smooth for sure.
Something that's easy to miss when we experience Jimi Hendrix is that a lot of what he was doing musically with his guitar had never been done before. Since then it's been imitated and emulated a million times so it feels normal to us now. He was the guitar pioneer who showed the rest of the world what that instrument was truly capable of and some would even claim that there's nothing new since Jimi, guitar wise. It's an exaggeration for sure but he was that significant.
Jimi Hendrix the original "I am here to chew bubblegum, and Kick ass."
Hes a MASTER , way ahead of his time . LEGEND ❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤
Jimi Hendrix was one of the coolest free spirited hippies ever. Jimi didn't care. Burning his guitar on stage. And his fashion style is one of my favorites. HIs jackets his hats his vests. ❤️❤️❤️ The Jimi Hendrix movie was great. 👍
Just a heads up, you should probably change the spelling from Jimmy to the correct spelling "Jimi" for the algorithm
Great reaction.
Jimi Hendrix was amazing,( he was actually playing with his teeth).
Stevie Ray Vaughn was a huge fan of Jimi. You should check out SRV, live at the El Macombo - " Texas Flood" and you'll see some amazing things as well.
No wonder he needed to chew gum. He had to get that taste out of his mouth!
F.O.I. Jimi's wardrobe and hairstyle swag came from LITTLE RICHARD when he was Little Richard's guitarist, and Little Richard FULLY ENCOURAGED that! And also, Jimi was the guitarist for the ISLY BROTHERS; that's why Ernie Isiy took on the Hendrix persona, among others, in the future!
love this reaction - pretty much how i felt the first time i heard jimi. overwhelmed! an incredible guitarists, composer, singer and performer. the goat.
Over here falling out in the floor laughing at Asia's reaction to him playing that guitar with his tongue! LOL!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Not his tongue ... his teeth!
Imagine watching that live in the 60s on a Bold hit of Brotherhood Sunshine LSD (Jimi's favorite), as others have said he was 'ours' for a couple of years, then he went back home. Please understand ALL the others mentioned followed Him.
Monterey pop fest 1967 he was tripping with the gum the greatest guitarist of human kind he was a prodigy Americans kickass
Jimi Hendrix was the best seriously man . His grand Mother was native American mixed blood . Jimmy was a big boss big Chief. African-American Irish descent. Soul just pouring out of him Natural talent we can’t teach people to play guitar like that. He was in the army and at one stage Steve Gadd was in the same army Core band . BIG BOSS.
Absolute perfection by jimi....this is a masterpiece lightyears ahead of its time...the mix of hardrock and the blues....👌💯💥 he was the first....so sad we lost him when in his prime...think of what he could done.....and the sad and strange...that all the really talented dies at 27yo joplin, morrison ,whinehouse..Scott.. etc...makes one wonder doesen't it 🤔 and he didnt have to put the word im a rockstar in the lyrics...that some artists do...the way and the confidence he assaulted the audience with his appearence and guitar....showing off whos the man 🦾
The first time I heard this song when my dad tried to teach me the chords to this song and I blistered my fingers.
Beautiful voice and brilliant skills on guitar 👏 Rest in Peace Jimi Hendrix
I was a senior in high school in 1970, and a buddy of mine and I would go into the band director's office and play that song along with Purple Haze. We would rock out until it was time to go home
He was a force of nature, a musical shaman. Absolutely unique genius.
Sometimes I cant believe he existed
Love your facial expressions during the solos! 🤣 This is from the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. Jimi was HIGH (acid) and he had to follow THE WHO (they went on right before him and destroyed the stage) so he said " I'm gonna pull out all the stops" and boy did he ever. You should check out his version of WILD THING from the same performance. EPIC! 🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥
Jimi was supposedly on two or three hits of acid during his performance at this festival. Played like mad and it became a legendary performance. His success broke through in America after word got around about his performance here.
That explains the gum.
Hi man you can't play a guitar on acid, let alone 3 acid trips, hendrix played at madison square Gardens 1970 band of gypsies someone gave him an acid trip before he went on stage, half way through the second song hendrix walks off, saying he can't get it to gether, he was high on his music not acid.
Hey, it was 1967. Peace and Love. I mean, look at the shirt he is wearing!! Those were the days!! (I'm 62, do I was alive, but only 7)
So sad we lost him at only 27... When you're a kid, it seemed like he was a fully grown man at the age he died but now as a 36 year old myself, you realise he was practically still a kid and had achieved so much already, just imagine what couldve been if he had lived :(. Easily the GOAT
Enjoyed you alls reaction. Very nostalgic watching Jimmy in his prime. He was the man!
Jimi was amazing! Talking rebellion, Jimi did a guitar version of 'The Star Spangled Banner' at the Woodstock music festival in 1969. Blew everybody away. Jimi's a G.O.A.T!👍🏾👵🏿🎸🤩!
Jimi was a rock star. That's all that needs to be said. The highest possible praise.
You all must watch the entire performance of Jimi Plays Monterey, this was his first trip back to the United States after becoming huge in London' His show at the Monterey Pop Festival 1967 is considered one of the greatest performances in Rock history...
The National Anthem played at Woodstock is just SICK! DEFINITELY worth a listen! 🤣
Definitely. His National Anthem is amazing.
@@sns2112 He was basically playing the song while commentating on it with his guitar. You can hear moments of doubt in the national pride, the war and corruption, the angst and internal fighting, all of the craziness going on at the time. So much of it went over my head at first. The more I listen to Jimi the more I realize what a creative genius he really was. And thats what makes Jimi the undisputed GOAT. You can debate over which guitarist has the best technical skill, but you factor in the impact and creativity, the argument is over.
@@futurereflections4097 jimi just genuinely cared about people. he came from hard times himself so he could relate. After all. the audiences buying the records & going to the shows bought all of the musical equipment; amps, guitars, microphones etc. & he appreciated that, so if they r PROTESTING( the audience)he`ll relate to them in song how he feels their angst. HENDRIX STYLE!! He could`ve said: SCREW AL YALL!! I`m the GREAT JIMI HENDRIX. but he wasn`t on a trip like that.
that performance should be part of every history class about that time period
this was such an amazing performance by Jimi that even today after decades of listening to it people miss the amazing drum/bass playing alongside Jimi.. (Mitch Mitchell/Noel Redding)
You’re so right. No other guitarist even comes close. GOAT for sure!
Liking before I see your critique. One of my all time favorite songs. The transition. My God ❤ This song was recorded in October 1966. And it is still bad ass in 2022. Ok, let's watch.💋
Jimi the GOAT. Continues to inspire many players today.
Jimi is the pure definition of a guitar god. The man is a legend amazing
What is even more amazing about this performance is that he played it note for note as the album version
hendrix my hero i was 5yrs old when i heared this i couldnt believe what i was hearing..........the man made feed back an art form RIP jimi.
