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
The original full song was recorded in black and white. The full footage was enhanced & colourised by Klapert and Syrupcareful. I found that colourised version and tried to upload it to UA-cam but it was blocked & i discovered that if i cut out some of the footage and dropped in some documentary footage from the film Hearts & Minds, UA-cam allowed it to be posted. The full colour version is still available on other sites.
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!
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 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.
@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 Isle of Wight version actually goes for closer to 20 minutes from memory and includes a drum solo by Mitch who was there, with Billy still on base. The 4 minute version you heard must have been a shortened one
I have the original Band of Gypsies lp that I bought in the 70,s that this song was on. I also have the VHS of this concert that bought from Towew Records before they went out of business. It had a very good quality,and was dvd later. Buddy Miles had his on band. He sang two of his songs on this concert (Them Changes) and(We Got To Live Together)
@AceofBadeReacts there was a colorized cleaned up version with the entire song, ,and no Vietnam War footage, and it was great. I am kicking myself for not downloading it. Now it's been taken down and only the tv camera and colorized versions are on YT, both are the war footage over the sound, which I don't like. I used to see the b+w tv camera version for years and it kind of was like Hendrix was a spirit or ghost . I also like the Them Changes version and the Who Knows version.
This is Jimi in God mode. It's a shame that Jimi couldn't have done more with this trio because Billy & Buddy created such great grooves and space for Hendrix to just soar over. They all had similar musical backgrounds in R&B and you can hear and feel that connection when they played. It's def my favorite album of his. Also, worth noting, the great jazz trumpet master Miles Davis himself loved Jimi's improvisation here, too. That potential collaboration could have been epic. If only.
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
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 !
When artists gush about a certain artist. Be it in art, or in this case music. You can't truly understand how good that person is unless you practised that art. In this case I myself play guitar. And to have heard some of greats of guitar gush about hendrix and his godlike status is telling. I am not saying don't need to play guitar to be impressed by him. But I guess a good yardstick is that u can play and sound like any guitarist given enough practise and nailing their tone. But you will never sound or even replicate close to anything jimi as its all feel. Feel and raw emotion. There are many instances that have went down in history of jimi ripping a solo or a improvising take on one of his songs. To some that might be the best solo they ever played. To jimi that was just a Tuesday. For me hendrix is the GOAT and always will be.
Found the 20 minute version from I.O.W. if you want to check it out. Story is he broke a string and while he was restringing was when Mitch filled in with the drum solo. ua-cam.com/video/6bcXwF58PUA/v-deo.html
@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.

Jimi did not just play this. He CHANNELED it out of the fabric of the universe.
Greatest guitar solo. For him to play and sing at the same time. The sound! Otherworldly. RIP JIMI
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.
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...
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

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
and Jimi played it live on stage. No studio trickery. His solo remains untouchable. That is what being in the zone is all about. Beyond epic.

Oh so that's the difference between the 2 versions. It was a great performance for sure
ive never done acid or mushrooms to this one, gotta put that on my bucket list
@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.
Go for it
the harnessing of electricity is insane

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
@AceofBadeReacts there was a colorized cleaned up version with the entire song, ,and no Vietnam War footage, and it was great. I am kicking myself for not downloading it.

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
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
He met Billy when he was doing his service, that's gotta be a plus
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 !
@@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
Yeah, those others can play the same riffs, but NOBODY can match Hendrix's effortless expression on the guitar. Not even close.
Best performance on an electric guitar ever. Other worldly!!
You can hear so many genres in this song it’s crazy. I hear Randy roads and evh.
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

You should hear the Band of Gypsys box set
The H-Man is insane!

Same school as Beck, Gilmour & Iommi. Power more important than volume. Plus touch more important than technique.
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.
Other worldly man
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
Dude why you got big Joni Hendrix blocking the video,nobody else does it
Clam down brutha. On the album, there is talking both before the song and after it. Someone probably snipped some of it out.
The problem with Hendrix is you will never hear anything better just saying
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!
