I had to slap a watermark over this due to another country copyright claiming this unfortunately. There was also a different version of this video that was in black and white, but I went with the one that was in color
One of my all time favourite songs, I highly recommend listening to the band "The Electric Flag", Featuring Buddy Miles and Nick Gravenites sharing vocals and the fantastic Mike Bloomfield on Guitar. "Texas", "Killing Floor", "You Don't Realize", "Wine", "Sitting in Circles", "Grooving is Easy" to name a few... A great band!
@nickshelley3118 listened to it on 7 hits of acid(Orange Barrel) on the drive up to Killbear Park in Ontario in 1975. On arrival we listened to Frank Zappa, 'Apostrophe' and 'Over-nite Sensation' and 'One Size Fits All'. Weird, wired weekend.
The light show that night was presented by the Joshua Co. They did a lot of psychedelic light shows in the late sixties and early seventies for a lot of bands of that era. The missing bit in time you reference is Jimi introducing the song to the audience. The old black and white videos I’ve seen show the intro. Great song, wonderful performance.
I read all the comments (elsewhere) who claim that SRV and Jeff beck (great guitarists) were better than JIMI: Utter BS. Hendrix was on a totally higher plain : never to be surpassed !
Did you notice, Jimi plays a right-handed Fender Stratocaster upside down. That's how he learned as a kid growing up in Seattle. His dad got him a cheap Sears guitar, but Jimi was a lefty, so he simply flipped it upside down, and learned how to play everything upside down and backwards, including the chords. Freaking amazing!
The most intense antiwar song ever recorded. Jimi was a veteran. It perfectly summarizes the psychosis of war. Lest we forget, "we" killed 3 million Vietnamese. Because..reasons. The war pigs had their way. They still do
From what I can tell he was in the army, but he was given the choice to join the army or go to jail. I will say I'm glad he got out because we might not have gotten the musician we were gifted with
@selwynpage4578 Yup, AD wrote his own parts and brought in studio musicians to play them. It's immediately evident that those tracks contain none of Jimi's vide.

Greatest guitar solo. For him to play and sing at the same time. The sound! Otherworldly. RIP JIMI
Jimi did not just play this. He CHANNELED it out of the fabric of the universe.
This is the guitar solo equivalent of Pablo Picasso's Guernica. Same thing, but in sound.
That's a real creative way to look at it
@@AceofBadeReacts Art IS creativity. I'd assumed you understood that.
@@dantean I agree with the comment on Guernica.
@@harrybendelow3537 His guitar solo is effectively a cultural artifact. There's no living musical equivalent to that in his day or ours.
The greatest - or one of several greatest. But nobody did what he does as good as he did - and he was the pioneer.
This was so good
One of my all time favourite songs,

In the 70s sometimes I'd take acid, alone, w/ headphones, strobe lite, black lite, & this song playing over & over
That must have been a time
@@AceofBadeReacts The good ol' days! Now half a valium knocks me out cold...
ive never done acid or mushrooms to this one, gotta put that on my bucket list

Go for it

@@wallypoffle7796 indeed
They are all insanely crazy good on guitar, but yeah Jimi Hendrix did it first and I don't think he can be beat
Best performance on an electric guitar ever. Other worldly!!

I always forget to look at it while I'm reacting and then only notice it in thumbnail photos
You know he restrung it to be a normal guitar right? So all the chords and strings are all played just like any other guitar
I started to learn how to play guitar after hearing my first Jimi Album, loved the raw sounds he could produce...
Raw, real, and hardcore
Epic!
It wasfilmed with television cameras black and white. This is the colorized film. Clearly greatest solo ever by Hendrix.
Ah I see. I did have the black and white version of the video, but I opted for this one
You should hear the Band of Gypsys box set
The additional 20 seconds was Jimi introducing the song.
Ah ok. So I missed a little bit, but nothing of the song itself
The most intense antiwar song ever recorded. Jimi was a veteran. It perfectly summarizes the psychosis of war. Lest we forget, "we" killed 3 million Vietnamese. Because..reasons. The war pigs had their way. They still do

The H-Man is insane!
🐐🔥🎸
Baddest electric cat of them all..
100%
Black and white video is the same footage as this one.
That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't 100% sure. I skimmed through it and it did look very similar
There is a studio version, it's on the Midnight lightning albume
Yes, but that's not a real Jimi Hendrix record. Jimi never released a completed studio version of Machine Gun before he passed.
Jimi didn't, but his producers did
@selwynpage4578 Yup, AD wrote his own parts and brought in studio musicians to play them. It's immediately evident that those tracks contain none of Jimi's vide.
Vietnam war sucked so bad. Senseless war. Jimi knew. Then he told all of us. 😢
And what a way to go about telling us
@@Linda-y9h Great way to put it, you're practically channeling Jimi yourself!
