when guitar players ruled the world
The one and ONLY guitarist on the planet who influenced so many millions around the world.
Hendrix is simply AWESOME!
I can't think of any other artist I could sit through with such low sound quality and enjoy every minute of it
So true
Great point
When you're Hendrix "Tuning" is a song!
Haha well said !
And any mistake jimi made was a work of art.I don't know of any other musician like that!
@@starcloud4959 The trick is if you play it twice it's not a mistake :) Peace
Many Non Musicians, Or Younger ones don't realize... There Wasn't "Guitar Tech's" As we now take for granted. If you were lucky you had a Roady who played Guitar & ... Maybe, could change strings properly ! Jimi NEEDED Someone to reverse the Nut... (( Or Install a NEW L H nut, POLISHED & Set up properly. I believe he had to do that Himself... (Tripping Balls) !! & Idiots say, "Ooh he couldn't play in tune" & MOST of those U Tubers have NEVER played... STANDING UP ! (( Much less, In a Successful Band. I was Blessed to first see Jimi play Acoustic in Grenolds park, & Then @ Gulfstream In Miami ... @ 6 or 7 !! He pointed @ Lil me, @ pointed @ his ears ! ( Trying to warn me.. IT WAS ABOUT to get REAL LOUD !! ) WOW !! Totally changed my concept of Guitar ! I played & Recorded Professionally for decades . Playing RIGHT NOW ! Thank you GOD !! For Creating Jimi Hendrix ! (What an INCREDIBLE Gift ! )
@@soundpainter2590 Actually I read Jimi did have a tech. I'm not sure how good he was though. We know a lot more about setting up guitars now then back then. The thing I can't figure out is why he didn't change guitars in a set. Rarely did he do that. He really didn't stand much of a chance staying in tune the way he used his wammy bar. Plus the guitar being played backwards sure didn't help. Plus back then people didn't want to hear a guitarist tune either. He would tune it and I know it wasn't in tune and he would just start playing why who knows why? It's not like one string was out a lot of the time it was right out wack.
Mr. Hendrix‘s guitar playing on this is amazing it’s far better than most of his official live albums that was put out by his record label . I wish this was a professionally recorded concert as this is a audience recording. It’s not that great, but I would advise anybody that likes Jimi Hendrix to listen to this all the way through because he’s on fire on this one.🎉
Yeah----------Jimi was on fire during this show-----All these clips and sounds from back in the day are a real God send for Hendrix fans! Fantastic!
And so appreciated!...I am old now, but want to hear anything that Jimi played, that was caught upon tape...Back in the 1980s, I owned over 50 bootleg albums...but lately there seem to be even more recordings existing!
Jimi's imagination is unfathomable - to think how spectacularly freely he plays, harnessing chaos and beauty with supernatural ease. It's like everything is at his disposal at once. Still, after my 30 years of infatuation with him and his music, he still surprises me with his incredible variations. I have never heard any other guitarist coming close to the same level of on-site creativity and musical meandering that somehow makes sense. I think Schopenhauer's definition of genius applies here: *Talent is to hit a target few og no one else can hit; genius is hitting a target no one else can see'. Thanks for the upload.
El Camino I so agree - and within such a short timespan...4 years and still the coffers are not empty.
El Camino I do indeed play but I'm no longer jealous of this man's prowess - he is far beyond anything to aspire to. I am struck by the way he never plays 'at' us, but always generously shares with us his immense musicality in a heartwarming fashion. Strangely humble and vulnerable amidst even the most powerful sonic outbursts. I think he and Jimmy Page have the ability to open up landscapes - one rarely knows what will happen next, only that it is never sterile nor hostile or crass. I am grateful to be able to hear their music, although there is pure indisputable genius in Hendrix.
Henrik Winther The thing is because most rock music since has been based on the dynamics he created people forget or the younger generation simply can't conceive how aurally revolutionary and almost supernaturally innovative he was at the time. I was only six when he died and can just about remember him being in my consciousness somehow when he was still alive but the thing I recall most about the early 1970s was how the spirit and energy of the times connected with him, sounds kind of esoteric but looking back and thinking about it since I believe in those few short years he opened up a window of consciousness not from another world as such but from the depths of the human psyche. It was an act of creation that cannot be defined in terms of just music, something those of a left brained persuasion like most of this generation have been programmed into who think mostly in terms of formatted technique and craft fail to comprehend which is why you have many skilled and technically adept people today but creativity ie discovering and expressing something unique and new is absent.
When Jimi died, his mom got the gear. Stevie Ray Vaughn was obsessed with Jimis tone, approached his mom and ended up getting Jimis wah-wah pedal. That's what you heard in Stevies recordings, little notes of Jimi bouncing out of it. When Stevie died, his brother got the pedal. Who is going to be the next strat player Legend to get the pedal ? Its going to need new capacitors by now.
don rutter Approached whose mum? His own or Jimi's coz Hendrix's mother died when he was a child.
He simply is unrivaled
Jimi's playing, is beyond words. He, Santana, Duane Allman & Dickey Betts, Peter Greene, & Eric C., are the reason I started playing guitar.
I started playing around 1980, I found a les paul goldtop that I could afford, and ended up selling it to my music teacher after a while. He ended up selling it to Greg Allman. Greg came to his house t buy it, and I got to meet him. I got to play mellissa with him in the basement.
@@donrutter6550 dayummm. talk about a once in a life time... wow. so cool man. may you stay experiened. Jimi dug the Allman's a lot. heard a reeel to reel back stage while at the Atlanta Pop Festival, the follwing year of this festival gig. peace and stay groovy !
Great Class of Kats !!
He's soooooo unfathomably brilliantly bad ass here. Really stunning. Damn Jimi well played!!
Jimi Hendrix- a shining star 🌟 ✨ 💖
In the universe.
Guitar 🎸 magic
Shaman of peace and love, harmony.
Shaking up the world 🌎 with the
Message of Love.
Right here in San Jose.
Thank you Jimi. 🙏 🕉
Was there for the whole thing. I was 15!
OMG!!!!!!!!you one luck SOAB!!!!wahoo.
Wow 🇺🇸🎸🥃
Love this show. Carlos Santana said Jimi was incredible at this show.
🇺🇸🎸🇺🇸
I was here too as a very impress able short 16 yr old. Since I couldn't see Jimi; I wiggled my way up to the front (6th row back) and some kind guy let me sit on his lap. Jimi was right in front of me. Great memory.
kind guy eh!
+Paul Curtis A lot of nice people went to Hendrix concert's.
+Volkswagenman3 Lo mejor del Rok de esos tiempo
+roberto rios I only speak english
wow!!!!
Why Hendrix is still the Greatest Guitarist? Because he's completely unpredictable,it is always interesting to listen to.His technique is not simple,but incredibly beautiful musical phrases,subordinate to some kind of cosmic harmony.
Dudes on fire here! Holy hell
He was the greatest. They ran the chit out of him he didn't get no rest
Noel Redding called him HenPecked.
@@michaelcraig9449 haha
might have did more than that to him… truly a cool guy tho
no doubt, super cool
Thank the GODDESS!! All this FANTASTIC HENDRIX is available for us to enjoy!! I'm 53 years old.... Saw my FIRST CONCERT IN 1982 at 14 yrs old... My only regrets are not being able to see... HENDRIX... BOB MARLEY... AND A FEW OTHER CHAMPIONS OF MUSIC!!! BUT, I PACKED IN QUITE A FEW IN MY DAYS!!!
I feel blessed havin' seen Stevie Ray Vaughan playing the Paradiso in Amsterdam, when i was about 14yrs young back in '82/'83.
one of the best versions of "fire" and "red house"
I was in the first row, a few feet in front of Hendrix, I'd spent the entire night awake and partying in a nearby park where most of the bands from the concert were playing for free for the people there.
how old were you at that time?
I'll bet your parents beat you for being gone allnight? Just partying for one night (changed you re image (back then))intoxication acid whatever big deal) changed mentally deranged (nothin unusual))something they couldnt recognize
Mike, I'm getting high just thinking about it!
Yes, I left here and went to the other event. Great time to be a teen! Many local bands made it to the big times later on.
any idea which park this was? was it near the University? THanks
Spanish Castle Magic has evolved to be my favorite Hendrix live song.
Same here man becomes Inter dimensional in the live versions
alwaze been tops for me - all versions
Jimi was seriously amazing at transporting you to a different plain
Spanish Castle here is on fire, the clean/soft guitar intro is a masterstroke. Pretty consistently powerful tune live.
Nobody can come close to Hendrix. His creativity and ability to improvise was amazing.
I was there. The PA system blew up during Jimi's set. Lee Michaels & Frosty helped stress the PA beforehand. Watching guitar gods Hendrix and Randy California with Spirit at the event was priceless!
oh yeah Randy California ! how could we ever forget
How could I forget? Lee Michaels and big ol' Frosty.
Jimi showed his old bandmate his new tricks!
Jimi was the one who added California onto Randy's name back in New York when hecwas jammi g with two guys named Randy and dubbed their names by the state they were from.
7.30am here... who needs a coffee when you got this sound to energise the soul
I was at this festival. It was promoted as the Santa Clara Pop Festival, I believe. My best mate had free tickets for this 3 day|night incredible extravaganza. So many historic bands & performances.
Was this show in 1969? The 1968 show was two days and billed as “The Northern California Folk Rock Festival and included the Doors, Big Brother and the Holding Company (Janis Joplin), Jefferson Airplane, Steve Miller and many others.
@@jj-nh8lz 1969. But it appears to also be with the same or similar bands line up as the previous year's festival. Chrome Cyrcus, Aum, Lamb, among others were also on this 1969 bill. Led Zeppelin were advertised as thee headliner but they didn't show because they didn't even know about this festival. It was just another hippie promoter ploy for heads counted & paid at the door...
I heard this on FM radio late at night around 2017. I had been alone for four months in the boons. My mom had died and my marriage of 22 years was over. I thought I was hearing things and possibly going looney but Jimi was like a breath of fresh air and i believe this is the bands best performance live. Those lightning bolt intro runs and other worldly progressions had me from the first note. ‘glad to see it here.
My girl left me to my own devices too a couple years back.stumbled on Floyd’s “echoes “ at 55 years old. The lesser known stuff nurtured me back to the living.
I was there. My only time to see Hendrix. It was a memorable afternoon, to be sure. San Jose had two great festivals, 1968 and 1969.
I was about 8 rows back! Amazing show! The doobies were everywhere!
🇺🇸👍wow
doobies and acid make people peaceful, as opposite of alcohol (which most hells angels drank). I still hold the hell's angels and charlie manson responsible for killing a beautiful thing.
Never heard this in 40+ years of enjoying JH!! Great petformance!!
Red House always kills me, an fine example of Hendrix blues
Jimi Hendrix, A musician ahead of time... the greatest guitarist of the rock and roll era and a gift to many greats that keeps on giving.
Balls!
How envy those who could see it and especially listen to it live. I will never satiate the curiosity of knowing how a guitar sounds with such amplifiers at full volume touched by someone like him. That's sad for me. Of course it would be older now; that comforts me.
the experience
for some reason the band calls jimi hendrix experience
surrealistic
Right now I'm sitting in a coffee shop approximately three minutes from the hospital Jimi was born in (Seattle Medical Center - at that time). And about two blocks from there is Yesler Terrace, where Jimi, Leon, their father, Al; and Jimi's soon to die mother lived... Oops, I believe Leon had been sent to live with relatives due to inner family struggles... Rest In Peace, you Beautiful Soul.
Who cares
@@randallkennedy2589 His comment has 26 upvotes and yours has none.
Take your negativity else where.
No, youre correct. Before Lucile Hendrix died, Leon and "Buster" lived in Seattle. Intermittently they'd be sent to relatives in Canada, and, I forgot where else, but other than that, they lived in Seattle, all three of them.
It was only after that, I dont rememer exaclty when that they took Leon away.
@@thedude4795 Nah Randall Kennedy is right, who cares?
@@randallkennedy2589 I care...my grandma lived in that same Yesler Terrace, and as a young kid, I might have played on the community playground with Jimi, or his brother, in the mid-1950s. Seattle was less racist than most bigger cities back then...I learned early, that skin color was no big deal to judge anyone by! And as sort of proof--in the late 1950s and early 60s, there was an explosion of local bands, many of mixed race, that created a very identifiable "NW" sound...Jimi was in a couple of those types of bands, before he went into the Army in 1961. Another great "Jazz"-oriented guitarist, Larry Coryell, also participated in that racial musical "mix--he was a white kid from Eastern Washington, who came over to Seattle, to attend the UW. He moved to NYC in 1965, and gained a good reputation there. Jimi met him for the first time there...they did hang out, and jammed together at a couple NYC clubs. You should check out Coryell on UA-cam...he died a few years ago...back in the80s, he gave a couple of interviews--and is totally dominating the guitar!
This recording is so interesting in its imperfection, because due to Jimi´s voice being totally outshined by his guitar in the mix, it gives us an incredible opportunity to listen to the wonders he makes with the guitar when he´s singing, passages that usually are hidden behind the vocal melody.
Concert is so good it hurts when I listen to it !
For those who are into Hendrix's guitar playing (on this, than his singing), this is an awesome recording. So happy.
He had a way of making his sound on guitar, seemingly be that of at least TWO guitarists!
Best live performance I have heard from him. Its like listening to fireworks.
GREAT version of Red House !!
Powerful, electric blues, untimless 46 years ago.
Sonically, the best Jimi live show I have ever heard. His pedals, Marshall amps, and strat behaving so well. Tone at it's best!
One of his best live recordings.
his solos are so impressive ..amazing
I and a friend were there and captured some of this on 8mm tape and made a presentation ("Castles Made of Sand") for our English class at Cupertino H.S. What a memory!
Cool, 8mm films are great. Is your film still in existence?
I was at this festival concert. My friend, the dj called Wonderful Walt from station KDON in the Monterey Bay Area had 3 day comp tix!!! So we went all 3 days|nights. This was on the Sunday, I believe, & there were so many legendary bands performing. Originally Led Zeppelin's name was top billing but they never performed because they didn't even know they were even booked, which they weren't! Nevertheless, Janis, The Doors, The Dead, even Chuck Berry all kicked historic ass. I will always remember this experience. Days ov giants whom rocked this Earth. Blessed be. ♡☆♡
I was there, but I'm deaf, so I just sort of danced bonelessly and pretended like I knew what was going on.
LMAO
unabonger777 I don’t blame you.
50 years later and still a miracle.
Surely you could feel the vibration? The amps were huge
🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸Sadly I never got to see Jimi play live 🔥🎸but when I listened to him I always listened full blast (at a recent hearing test I was told I was going deaf) I said I grew up on Hendrix & Zep he said you've just lived life LOUD! ❤❤❤❤❤NO REGRETS❤❤❤❤☮️
🕊🕊🕊R.I.P. JIMI 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊Fly on my sweet angel🕊
Amazing, Amazing !!! JIMI - GUITARIST - 1 !!!
At 58:33 , Jimi sang "Room full of mirrors", but the rhythm was Voodoo Child, ... Amazing improvisation
No one is commenting on the amazing work Mitch did here!!!
No secret when Jimis backing musicians were on form,so was Jimi. Didnt always happen but Hendrix never had the musicians Jimmy Page had backing him gig after gig. But Jimis musicians were solid, as you rightly point out here
I was here as well, I was 15, what a great show....
electric blues- first song is so great- one of his best shows
great show jimi was on fire.
Let's all hope the fire brigade got there on time, eh?
HE *WAS SMOKIN'* that night.. He played great when his guitar stayed in tune-which was rare... SUCH A TRAGEDY THAT THE FIRE BURNED OUT AND THIS IS ALL WE HAVE..
@@MRJIMIHNDRX you can see him become frustrated with his guitar going out of tune during certain performances. His attack and use of whammy bar certainly had an impact!
Not many guitar players can get up on stage and just make it up as they go, this is amazing
AWESOME rare 'Hear my Train...' opener ! but 68 and 70 tours stir my drink
so many boots to obsess over, peace.
Sheesh,
I was 12 years old and just learning to play. it wouldn't be until July that same year that i would here Jimi's all along the watchtower" for only the second time in my life.
i lived in Redwood city about 8 miles away.
I wonder what i would have thought had i been there?
Jimi's my all time fave. i started imitating his style when i got the live in Monterey / Otis Redding album.
then BAND OF GYPSYS !
my favorite record of all time ..
Later, in the mid 80's i worked with Buddy Miles. he was a friendly soul a powerful drummer a fine singer with endless vocal Resurve and a great Bluse guitar player, up side down guitar ! Big E string on the bottom
Miss that man too
Thanks for sharing
Wish this was available on DVD ! I see the long awaited Atlanta Pop Fest has FINALLY come out on DVD to much acclaim. Come now "Hendrix Family" open up those vaults. You know we're getting older now. Do it for us ! And Jimi smiled !
I saw the '75 tour in Cleveland-. Big disappointment - they sucked.. We had seen a lot of Great bands back in those days and of course we expected the mighty Zep to be the greatest of them all. Big let down.
+John Knottenbelt is there a higher quality version that the Hendrix estate has?
for real i remember around 2007-2009 around that time you could find a lot of Hendrix stuff on youtube but i guess Janie took most of it down,
+haloskater24 They should get it out on DVD. Thx for the info Mate !
Rainbow Bridge avail on dvd....look it up... *
I was at this show. I was 14 years old. I was by myself my father dropped me off. But my father it wouldn't let me date, but I could go to all kind of concerts and festivals full of hippies, drugs and whatever. My parents knew I was a music lover so if it had to do with the music I could go. And damn it I was always a good girl
awesome. How was it ? Hendrix sounds like he was in rare form that day.
@@raiderfan71269 that was a long time ago! Don't remember a lot. I do remember enjoying the show. No I wasn't high or drunk, lol! Unfortunately I was a good girl. I saw Hendrix three times. It could be a hit or miss with him. He was an introvert, at shows he played more for himself instead of for the audience. Not a lot of structure he would just play whatever came to heart or mind and you would have to go with the flow. I feel very fortunate to have been able to see him live.
@@adc2327 Thanks for these authentic words. This is so rare. So much fan(antic) estimates. This sounds real what it meant to saw him in those days, live, from the audience standpoint!!
September 18 1970 James Marshall Hendrix left this planet and flew into this cosmos ... R I P ☺🎆🌃
Ya he's on the 9ths superior plane
@@stephencreagerakacrash5760 💖💫
It's good to hear it. The most powerful music in the world, the most energica. And though it relaxes me
Only Jimi brings me to a calm state and i live him for that ❤🙏☝
What an performance !!!!!!!
Super concert. Un des meilleurs de jimi. Il a mis le feu sur "fire" et la justesse et la puissance se lient pour nous enivrer de ce génie exceptionnel !
Too bad it wasn't recorded multi track by Eddie Kramer. Still one of Jimi's best ever .
Sometimes I hear somethings that are in there and I can't believe I heard it. So I listen again and each time I still can't believe I heard it. To think that people like this pass amoung us in all the arts.
Fabulously stupendous. Thanks for this. He was so very special.
Fuck hes so brilliant with his improvisations, forever amazed at what he was able to create and even tho so many of his performances are unavailable to most people and most of what we do have isnt that great of quality, i feel blessed to have experienced his creations
I was there and high as fuck from smoking weed, I had just come back from taking a trip on Blue Cheer acid with two other jokers on an island in the Delta.
The Weed Meister?
Thanks so much, fabulous. One favourite artist. J.H.
when he goes on to play message to love you feel exactly what he feels just love and beautiful Jimi you fill my hearth with love.
I wished I had lived to see you at San Jose. Probably a warm afternoon and a beautiful day to be alive I can feel it all through your playing.
Staggering performance. This is amazing,amazing playing.
master shaman, incarnation of mahadev, destroyer of illusions past present and future
Yeah, that's the trick: no matter what sounds came out of the amps, Jimi could work them into the interpretation. It didn't hurt that he was the finest lead guitar player in the world...AND the finest rhythm guitar player in the world...seemingly taking on both parts at the same time.
Enjoyed this show. I was twenty feet from the stage. Couldn't hear for three days afterward, but would do it again to see Jimi play!
This single show proves he was 100 times better than guys like SRV, Gales and so on... Legend! No wonder even jazz greats wanted to work with him... Just imagine Hendrix doing some cosmic spectacular proggy jazz psych funk blues fusion albums in 70s...
There will never be another jimi. Fantastic post!...... djuk
Hendrix máster of the blues & rock n roll
The best....
The added reverb really helps the sound to breathe. Excellent choice. Great performance.
Outdoor natural acoustics always sound funny on tape without adding reverb, it makes them sound bigger than life like Jimmy.
Slightly too much reverb added. Now sounds like indoor concert
Should have Woodstock style outside sound
276 - bellissimo e stupendo concerto meraviglioso del grandissimo chitarrista JIMI HENDRIX !!!!!!!!! - ciao da VALERIO !!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
THIS IS REAL BRILLIANT WAUW WHAT GOOD HE WAS.(RIP)
my grandpa went to this performance
It's to bad there never he a nother one like hem again rock and roll forever.
Jimi Hendrix, the Great Stranger.
Hendrix played in Charleston, WV a couple of weeks prior to this. We had some good concert promoters back then that hailed from Charleston named the Lashinsky brothers who no doubt got us a lot of gigs that otherwise would have passed us by. Oh the days.
That version of Fire is absolutely fantastic!
Super Show by the Master !!!
Band travelled 400 miles from an equally magnificent performance in San Diego the nite b4 which I've had since 1990. To play a 2nd gig of this quality under such circumstances‐just sublime! Thanks for this one
From that opening flurry of notes you know he means business.
+StoneCole Well put.
StoneCole cleptpn winvod crosroad
He was taking no prisoners, agreed. After this, there was nothing left to say.
Check out Red House at 22:20 Jimi take Blues to a superb level. Nice sound for a 69 audience recording.
I was there too! One month b4 I graduated HS.
Uplifting mind mesmerizing, politable and transcending!
Great performance, also hit the free concert.
Their is only one!!!
Hendrix major genius
6:09 this is what makes jimi diferent
adoro jimi hendrix
Grew up in San Jose... those were the days.
Todo lo que se diga de Hendrix ya fué dicho...sin duda el mas grande..
the man has mojo !
Id cut my life to experience the King live....
Ah, there it is: brief notes of Star Spangled banner in solo of I don't live today. I wasn't hallucinating.. no wait, I was that day there. haha
Absolutely love that rendition of I Dont Live Today. Showstopper for mine & did another great one nite before in San Diego too!
Man if they ever invent a time machine!
They did. When you travel through the worm hole to the other side, you get to jam with them in a big field and meet them, and all your late family members.
I was there too. Free chemical "enhancers" (very very HQ too!). He was God that day. At one point the main PA conked out, so Jimi started using grandstand way back as natural delay...
man he sounds fantastic on that day
God I wished to the 'chemical enhancers' that were used back then to increase awareness rather than supress it like todays coke, smack, benzo's,speed & the rest of the bad bunch that cropped up with the illegalisation of LSD & psychedelics!
TOTALLY FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!! PROBABLY THE BEST LIVE JIMI,
THAT I HAVE HEARD, ( on a recording ) I never got to see him live. I was a junior in high school when Jimi died, it was a sunday , when I heard it on the radio, while crusin, bummer, big bummer.
Mike
Jimi never died. He lives on a small Island near Guam, he and Stevie Ray Vaughn have a small acoustic band. Elvis and Janis Joplin are the vocalists, and Buddy Rich plays the drums.
Ck out live at the Fillmore east 1970, especially his solo in machine gun!
@@donrutter6550elvis and janis u got that right dude!
I was there!!! And saw him in Kansas City in ‘68!
