I dunno what I'd say to jimi if he was still alive. I probably dug his hair cut and ask him if he can play bass ua-cam.com/video/ujN_DuvX3uE/v-deo.html
I love listening to different versions of the same song in concert. Red House:a 5 minute version,a 14 minute version,a 9 minute version,a 28 minute version .Never the same,the guy was out there winging it every time. That's a real musician. Yes,sometimes it comes out shit,but better than the same thing night after night
Jimi is the greatest guitarist of all time. Saw him when I was 14 years old at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. He has been my "Hero" ever since and was a big influence on me as a musician.
Jimi was an electric guitar. He made it what everyone has ued ever since. No-one, no matter how much they've tried has been Jimi. He taught us everything. There are those who've run a long way with the ball, but they never would've found free ground but for Jimi.
Band of Gypsys at the Filmore, New Year’s Eve, is one of the greatest concerts of all time. Jimi, Buddy Miles on Drums, Billy Cox on bass. Machine Gun, one of the greatest performances of all time. Jimi was the King of what anyone would bring to the stage, on guitar. Nobody even does Hendrix. You just cannot.
Flowing your playing tastefully through the feedback loop is like riding a wave on a surfboard. If that uncontrolled shriek hits, you fell of your board. If you loose the feedback energy, you didn’t set up properly on a big enough wave. I forget who I heard this analogy from, but visualizing it like this is what unlocked the ability for me.
KuriosPC that's not true,the worlds just going through a rough phase of lazy uncrestive people,but don't worry someone will get bored and decide to kick ass.
the truth is he used a sustainer and tremolo with all these peddles and effects like gain and combined them, to get these crazy psychedelic sounds. He mastered control of it. If he stopped playing he would automatically get that feedback because volume is so high. Later he got away from that stuff and was venturing more into chorus sounds with larger bands. That's according to Ed Kramer. We really don't know where it would have led to. Even today not many people are using such feedback and effects at the right time and intervals. The sustainer was the big ticket. A new invention at the time.
@@michaelgaskell7408 Well, you gotta add an octave pedal & a univibe to the fuzz face & wah. You can clearly hear all 4 effects in the BOG Fillmore performance of Machine Gun.
Funny, how Carlos tell a story about Jimi "discovering" feedback after throwing his guitar on the stage...but a good friend of Jimi's James Williams, tell us that Jimi was, from the beginning, trying to emulate sounds that he heard from Science Fiction movies, when he was a young teen...the Theramin was the device that would lurk in the background of those movies...and Hendrix definitely mastered THAT sound, for sure..forget about Carlos' story; it is not true...by the time Carlos met Hendrix, Jimi had incorporated feedback in his playing for a few years.
Even through the phone with no amplification it's the only sound that comes through Clear........ it still gives me Goosebumps when I hear it ...play on Jimi...💙🥦🌍
On the Isle of Wight album there’s some radio break through to Jimi’s amps during Machine Gun… “security personnel, security personnel…are you receiving me - over” which weirdly works well with that particular song. His incredible version of All Along the Watchtower on that album sends shivers up my spine whenever I hear it… there’s something about the slight echo of his voice on the song & his playing that gives a spooky feeling of foreboding.
@@ivan_coupe113 cool! I was there too, but I don’t remember much about Jimi’s performance as he came on in the early hours & I’m embarrassed to admit that I actually fell asleep part way through his set as I was totally exhausted by too much of everything by then!
I like the "security personnel....are you receiving me? - over" RT traffic that breaks through on the Isle Of Wight recording of Machine Gun... nice bit of audio serendipity that works perfectly in the context of the song.
What gets me is that Jimi was so good This September 2019 he would have been gone 49 years and Rolling Stone will still have him as #1 on their top 100 guitarist of all time.. RIP Seattle’s Favorite Son.
Jimi was a god-----------what gentleness and force of character---------what humor and imagination------------what vigor and energy ------------what intention and down to earth folksey ness----------------A rare thing that music and that fantastic rolling unsurpassed skill--------------------------------------Ya gotta love Jimi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...>>..>>..>
You stand a foot away from a Marshall amp on 10 and your Fuzzface cranked and turn your Stratocaster towards it. The sound pressure vibrates the strings, the body, the neck, everything. It's gonna feedback, its physics. If you play loud electric guitar through a cranked tube amp you know. Jimi could go with the flow like no one else, that's where the magic comes.
Feedback would work today it would damn near be brand-new all over again because everything is so fucking repetitive that's why I'm listening to Jimmy right now
Correct . I know from one old album of his that was recorded by some guy in Greenwich Village New York before he was ever discovered and became JIMI HENDRIX
He certainly may have been experimenting with feedback before Santana's story, as the genius that Jimi was, but Townsend and Beck, probably others, were already using feedback deliberately and musically, I LOVE Hendrix and he is/was always one of my main men, but he was definitely influenced by and admired Jeff Beck, who was already a monster in Jimi's heyday. If you doubt this, listen to the Jeff bootlegs during 1966-68
Well according to Jimi's childhood buddy Pernell Alexander,they discovered feedback by accident while practicing as teenagers.....back home in Seattle Washington in the late 50's.I even heard stories of Jimi playing wild and doing feedback even in the chitlin circuit days.Billy cox said when he 1st met Hendrix,he heard this guitar playing coming from a building when they were in the Army that sounded like a mix between John Lee Hooker & Mozart!!This is back in 61' y'all.Clearly this cat is from another planet man!Play Jimi's music in a thousand years.....it will still sound futuristic,and be as heavy as anvils.
The concept of a lefty alone was amazing. .knobs above body, switched strings, tremolo torqued on lowest string, thumb room on high notes, kool upside down look,
And Hendrix would usually turn up the amps, all the way up, and then control the volume from the guitar itself...this is why he would frequently blow out the speaker cabinets...the equipment could not handle the extreme power settings for very long.
Im 57 and growing up as a young teenager who listened to my moms music I was obsessed with Jimi. I had everything I could get my hands on by him. However the album that blew me away was Electric Ladyland. EXP, Spanish Castle Magic, If 6 were 9, Rainyday Dreamaway, were songs that took me to faraway places. I didn't have to be high to really get the full effect of his genus but damn if a little micro dot or blotter sure helped out!!! Not to mention some mushrooms as well.👽🍄
+MrZebos Hendrix could play dense clusters of notes with unrivalled natural fluidity in any given scenario but it was always an expression of soul rather than any intended sense of virtuosity.
Yo tengo 54 años, y en los ranking de los mejores guitarristas de guitarras eléctricas, este señor Jimi Hendrix, sale ganador en un 99,99%. Creo que actualmente hay guitarristas de gran nivel, pero Hendrix quizás en los años 60 y 70, innovo con el uso de pedaleras (wa-wa), electrifico de tal manera el blues, le saco ruidos a la guitarra eléctrica como ningún otro, toco la guitarra con los dientes, incendio guitarras en el escenario, es decir las hizo casi todas, y por lo tanto EL, es quien posee un sitial muy merecido en la ejecución de la guitarra eléctrica.
Concuerdo completamente contigo. Guitarristas han avanzado muchísimo pero Hendrix sigue siendo mi favorito. Lo escucho desde hace más de 50 años. Me gustan guitarristas en general, la guitarra es mi instrumento favorito. aunque no toco. I love Spanish too, beautiful language.
Nothing, to this day, comes close to Hendrix. Not just his his skills with feedback, as this vid depicts.........if you took away all that new ground he blazed electrically (with Eddie Kramer and Electric Lady Studios) , and he only had a 1940's clean amp, he'd still leave most all guitarists in the dust. But WITH those electric effects, he created soundscapes - of this and other worlds - that humans had never heard. I don't think I'm alone to say that this was the first music that truly moved me, as a 10 year old. It was like I had discovered fire. This is not to even mention his poetry. The lyrics stand with Dylan, whom he greatly admired. Few names in the history of music can compare with his impact. He was simply not from this world, and he knew it. An elderly Buddhist scholar from Vietnam once told me, "he was a Bhoddisatva. "
Too bad the whole footage at the end with the two girls up at the stage isn't there. I had a CD with it, and the stuff Jimi was doing with the guitar was more than suggestive. Looked like it was mostly for the entertainment of the girls, and was not gaudy it crudely offensive, the girls just giggled alot, looking so innocent and like they were high on acid.
What's never discussed, despite the fact it is obvious, is that it is an electric guitar. Hendrix, unlike most players understood that you are playing two instruments. The first instrument is a guitar, and the second instrument if totally electric; in fact, it has absolutely nothing to do with guitar. It is more related to the amps wahwah pedal and other things. When Hendrix plays the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock, he is playing it totally as an electronic instrument. The fact that it is guitar is totally irrelevant. He is not playing the six strings of the guitar, but he is manipulation the purely electronic dynamic of the amps and feedback. pure genius. Viewed as noise pollution by most, but he turns it into pure art. What a genius.
Absolutely Leeland. He was so smart they'll have to come up with a better word than genius to describe his brain. He, me, Velvert Turner and Taj Mahal got fkd up many times in my apartment above the Whiskey back in the day. I was on Maui for his 1970 concert, amazing is the only word I can think of. I think before and after the concert he probably knocked up 20 or so women, and just think, as loud as he played standing next to those speakers had he been alive today he would in all likelihood be totally deaf.
evyuser, the building belonged to Elmer Valentine and Mario Maglieri. I worked for them before going to work for the late Larry Potter, who's wife owned The Point After at 11345 Ventura Blvd. While attending Cal-Tech they permitted me to live in the apartment. Of course it came with conditions, ie., I had to help park cars, sometimes work the ticket booth, serve drinks, help clean up after closing and run errands. Also, if an after hours party was planned by the owners for certain guests then they'd often have it in my apartment. I'd often go home to Laguna Beach when they did, especially if someone like Ted Nugent was the guest, other than that I was usually there. If you go to Rodney Bingenheimer's page you'll find him talking about us and how we used to have to go fetch girls among other things for the musicians.
Some guy who said he was seeing her at the time, came onto a fan forum and told us the sad tale that she tragically passed away a few months after this. I think he said it was a fatal car crash. She was only about 16 or 17. But could have just been a hoax I don't know. She could be alive and well somewhere!
I wish that Janie Hendrix would release all of the Band Of Gypsys 4 69-70 shows at Fillmore East -NY,NY in a 4 CD,Record,4 DVD Video Box Set. All of Jimi's loyal fans have waited long enough. Peace.
+Hans Brüder yeah I don't understand how you could treat Leon the way she does it's like she wants him to be in the streets, a person jimi grew up with, she came along at the end which she hardly knew jimi, but she inherited everything, when Leon does something on jimi's part she sues him like she really doesn't want him to have anything and jimi wouldn't be like that to any of his family members but her I don't understand why she does him like that.
I named my first dog Monterey, because of Hendrix. Also, I have been watching that Berkeley video for 35 years and I'm always so happy for that girl up front. I hope she got to show it to her kids and grand kids.
I hear Hendrix, and I'm floating in a world of introspection, sadness and nostalgia. That guy was like a portal to another part of consciousness. Just able to tap into something ineffable and nail it. That primitive signal was at the same time so sophisticated --- the way emotions would sound if they could talk. It's like looking at a jagged edge and zooming out until it appears straight. Chaos that makes sense. Jimi made sound fractals. They played a major role in defining that era.
Wow!! Its like science fiction or something... with his eyes closed its like he articulates the turning of the earth or birth of stars.. cosmic sounds! His music is timeless... people will be studying what he did forever.. its just so great how it was captured on film for us to appreciate. He was the Mozart of the twentieth century RIP Jimi :) Thanks for this upload!!
I played the Band of Gypsys "Machine Gun" recording for a presentation in my 6th grade music history class. My teacher, who was a huge Hendrix fan, had to sadly walk over after the first few minutes and was like, "sorry, bud, the other kids need to do their presentations, too."
Wow, watching Jimi play a bit of my favourite version of ”Machine gun” is a real treat... Thank you, but I’d like to see and hear that whole version please.... I’ve heard it previously but never seen the gig...
Hendrix was voted the best guitarist of all time by other musicians like Clapton, Richards, Berry, BB King and so many more, for a Rolling Stone survey, so all the so called experts who profess to know better should be ignored - they are out and out dick heads. He was my favourite, but I can understand why others, would have liked other guitarists - its all about choice and taste in music - but to deny that he was a great guitarist is to admit that you are without knowledge of music and the guitar !
Listen to rock before Hendrix came on the scene, say from '60 - '66. There was nothing, absolutely nothing, like it before. He has been copied so much for so long that it's easy to forget how he reinvented the guitar. He is one of the most creative artists who ever lived in all of history. God, what a loss. RIP Jimi on your 70th birthday today.
i wish i was here im only 47 years old from 10years old liked hendrix just something about him they can never copy him they may be able to sound like him but one can always tell that aint hendrix stevy ray does a good job and is good but cant touch hendrix my friend was a natural at giutar too and he could play any song few times to listen to it then pick up his guitar and play song but he could not do that with hendrix he could play the basic of the song but not sound the same but could sound the same say randy rhodes who was good too
Tengo 58 años i mis primos en 1971 tocaban mucho música de esta persona ellos eran bateristas i vivimos en ese entonces en Tlalnepantla hoy de los rocanroleros que se juntaban en tlane Edo de mex ya no más están en su casa ya se terminó pero peramo era que mi madre me llevo al concierto de avandaro uvieran visto era de noche i ví puras luces y tipos brincando en un escenario como asta hoy le Disen me acuerdo que mi madre nos tapaba con los árboles del lugar carago que bonita epoca
Pete Townshend was really the first to use it as a part of his playing, but it was unrefined. People like Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix developed it into an art form.
Used to see Mitch Mitchell (RIP) the JHE drummer and had a good few drinks with him around Soho. All Jimi wanted to do in the end is stand up, play his guitar, forget about the rolling around the stage and all that nonsense as he was totally fed up with all that stuff, been there, done it. Guess he would have got in to some other musical forms maybe Jazz as Mitch came from a Jazz background being inspired by Elvin Jones amongst others. As a musician it must be easy to get bored by the crowd shouting out for Purple Haze for he umpteenth time. I really pity Jimi near the end, he was obviously searching for new musical directions. BTW..He did not play absolute rubbish at the IOW 1970 either, I was there and he did play a few decent songs.
@@matthewwaldman1524 Miles demanded more money before he would commit, thats the reason their collaboration didn't go ahead. IMO it was Miles' way of fighting back against the deeply rooted racism he and his fellow African Americans were being forced to endure.
Hendrix rides again...still the G.O.A.T. fifty years later.
0q
nobody before him or since has been able to send his emotion through the electonics like that
That's it . That's what seperates Hendrix from everyone else
You gotta realize that when everyone was trippin on mescalin and acid, these sounds were like God was talking to you through his guitar
I don't even need to be trippin to feel like these sounds are divine. It does help though ;p
Body Movement EXACTLY...drugs weren't necessary to trip on Jimi's music.
I love Hendrix feedback so very much.
I'm not tripping and it's still like God talking listening to this man play.
We are all gods. We can all talk with guitars, but those who chose not to, were made to be that way, through years of brainwashing. Become a slave schooling. I knew what was happening when I was 15, maybe 14. This is all bullshit, we've got everything we need right now. Had I not become a guitarist, I would have devoted my life to learning how to improve the signal from guitars are started learning about electronic amplifier etc. But in 1987, it was already there. I dunno what I'd say to jimi if he was still alive. I probably dug his hair cut and ask him if he can play bass ua-cam.com/video/ujN_DuvX3uE/v-deo.html
I love listening to different versions of the same song in concert.

Yes,sometimes it comes out shit,but better than the same thing night after night
Jimi played the way je feld inside
Thats because he love play and try different way.......thats Jimi.
Jimi is the greatest guitarist of all time. Saw him when I was 14 years old at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. He has been my "Hero" ever since and was a big influence on me as a musician.
"how about 'the greatest guitar player sitting in this chair..." Jimi on The Dick Cavett Show when asked about being considered to be the greatest.
Have u sean The Doors at same place?
His feedback was a warning siren for the end of the world, folks! He was the first rider.
Interesting that you should say that because I have often felt his music somehow was an apocalyptic sign of the end for some reason as well
Jimi was an electric guitar. He made it what everyone has ued ever since. No-one, no matter how much they've tried has been Jimi. He taught us everything. There are those who've run a long way with the ball, but they never would've found free ground but for Jimi.
3:30 -he did that shit like he knew it was all going to happen. No guitarist ever been like him, not even close.
He did that alot especially in his hair my train versions

And he'd only been playing the damn thing aprox 12-13 yrs!!!🤯 Imagine what he'd been doing if he'd been playing 20-30yrs?? 😳
Flowing your playing tastefully through the feedback loop is like riding a wave on a surfboard. If that uncontrolled shriek hits, you fell of your board.

Statement: There will never be anyone like this again,
KuriosPC that's not true,the worlds just going through a rough phase of lazy uncrestive people,but don't worry someone will get bored and decide to kick ass.
check out the band Earthless, some heavy fucking hendrix worship
the truth is he used a sustainer and tremolo with all these peddles and effects like gain and combined them, to get these crazy psychedelic sounds. He mastered control of it.

if by sustainer you mean volume and fuzz then you're right but he didn't used a pure sustainer pedal
'All these pedals'!?,all what pedals?,only a fuzzface and wah wah pedal were used live, positively primitive by today's standards.

Yeh.Thanks for explaining Jimi Hendrix.Haha.
@@michaelgaskell7408 Well, you gotta add an octave pedal & a univibe to the fuzz face & wah. You can clearly hear all 4 effects in the BOG Fillmore performance of Machine Gun.
I could only imagine the type of noises jimi would of been making with todays tech.
The intro to wild thing at Monterey has to be the most iconic feedback noise hes ever made.
These musicians from the 60s . All of them were like out there .Far out man.

be probably discovered it the first time he cranked that bitch up. Its like the guy could see the EMFs

with sounds, He was doing it before he got discovered.
Correct . I know from one old album of his that was recorded by some guy in Greenwich Village New York before he was ever discovered and became JIMI HENDRIX
I think Carlos was smoking a bit to much whakky bakky here. Hendrix was playing around with feedback long before he came to Europe.

That shit starting @ 2:57 was Jimi receiving teleportation codes from alien universes.
Machine gun is one of my favourites 👌💯

6:50 THIS is why young boys want to become rock stars!!
He blows every other guitarist out of the water in every situation.

he wasn't just cooking with chicken grease, he was burning it UP....

Rest in peace jimi. Thank you for your blessings
He was a space man making space music
His feedback is communicatie with huis fellow alians Jimi was niet from this word man 🙏♥️

I think before and after the concert he probably knocked up 20 or so women, and just think, as loud as he played standing next to those speakers had he been alive today he would in all likelihood be totally deaf.
Jimi not only "understood" it..he's the one who first took the guitar into that realm!
m. saint your apartment?
evyuser, the building belonged to Elmer Valentine and Mario Maglieri. I worked for them before going to work for the late Larry Potter, who's wife owned The Point After at 11345 Ventura Blvd. While attending Cal-Tech they permitted me to live in the apartment. Of course it came with conditions, ie., I had to help park cars, sometimes work the ticket booth, serve drinks, help clean up after closing and run errands. Also, if an after hours party was planned by the owners for certain guests then they'd often have it in my apartment. I'd often go home to Laguna Beach when they did, especially if someone like Ted Nugent was the guest, other than that I was usually there. If you go to Rodney Bingenheimer's page you'll find him talking about us and how we used to have to go fetch girls among other things for the musicians.
m. saint wow dude. I'm impressed.
Can we talk over email? I have so many questions...if so, let me know:)
Very short moment, but pure genius @4:38
This man is simply untouchable no one is even in the same room as Hendrix.....
I agree
It's like basketball.Ther is Michael Jordan.Then there is everybody else.
A Master in Action!
Jimi drove that girl crazy at the end, didn't he?
Happiest girl in the world 🎸❤️
Would love to hear an interview with her...
Some guy who said he was seeing her at the time, came onto a fan forum and told us the sad tale that she tragically passed away a few months after this. I think he said it was a fatal car crash. She was only about 16 or 17. But could have just been a hoax I don't know. She could be alive and well somewhere!
Everybody else followed this trailblazer,a force of nature
Best example of his feedback was his Star Spangled Banner at the Atlanta pop festival
I wish that Janie Hendrix would release all of the Band Of Gypsys 4 69-70 shows at
Fillmore East -NY,NY in a 4 CD,Record,4 DVD Video Box Set. All of Jimi's loyal fans have waited long enough. Peace.
I agree ,,my favorite Hendrix performance ever ,,,
Fuck Janie Hendrix.
+Hans Brüder yeah I don't understand how you could treat Leon the way she does it's like she wants him to be in the streets, a person jimi grew up with, she came along at the end which she hardly knew jimi, but she inherited everything, when Leon does something on jimi's part she sues him like she really doesn't want him to have anything and jimi wouldn't be like that to any of his family members but her I don't understand why she does him like that.
+Dewayne White A family thing but It's about drugs and when you don't do it you look down at people who do and Leon has a drug past.
Hawk Hawkins yeah he did ur right
The haters just aren't experienced. Are you experienced ? Have you ever been experienced ? Well .... I have.
I named my first dog Monterey, because of Hendrix. Also, I have been watching that Berkeley video for 35 years and I'm always so happy for that girl up front. I hope she got to show it to her kids and grand kids.
DrBoneright she's looking at the bulge in his pants.
All I got to say is when I hear screeching feedback, anywhere anytime. I think "Hendrix"!
and to be honest I'm not a big Santana fan but he's sure tasty with his delivery and definitely stole the show at Woodstock
I hear Hendrix, and I'm floating in a world of introspection, sadness and nostalgia. That guy was like a portal to another part of consciousness. Just able to tap into something ineffable and nail it. That primitive signal was at the same time so sophisticated --- the way emotions would sound if they could talk. It's like looking at a jagged edge and zooming out until it appears straight. Chaos that makes sense. Jimi made sound fractals. They played a major role in defining that era.
He could make a guitar sound like an entire herd of elephants. What a superlative mind he had.
God, I love OG YT sh^t like this lol. Also love Hendrix & UFOs.
Machine gun is the cry and screams of war.
Wow!! Its like science fiction or something... with his eyes closed its like he articulates the turning of the earth or birth of stars.. cosmic sounds! His music is timeless... people will be studying what he did forever.. its just so great how it was captured on film for us to appreciate. He was the Mozart of the twentieth century RIP Jimi :) Thanks for this upload!!
If you don’t get Hendrix all you hear is noise .. but if you listen to jimi.. you get it
I played the Band of Gypsys "Machine Gun" recording for a presentation in my 6th grade music history class. My teacher, who was a huge Hendrix fan, had to sadly walk over after the first few minutes and was like, "sorry, bud, the other kids need to do their presentations, too."
Was it not good enough for him or something, kinda disrespectful tbh
7th grade on I used to come home from school and watch that dvd every day
Wow, watching Jimi play a bit of my favourite version of ”Machine gun” is a real treat... Thank you, but I’d like to see and hear that whole version please.... I’ve heard it previously but never seen the gig...
same

What other guitar player does what Hendrix does in this video at 6:20? I want to hear them.
basically he’s just going ham on the vibrato to get a almost chorusy sound
I hope the girl in the last shot is alive and remembers Jimi and that teeth playing. what a memory to be at that level of stage with him.
Ive always noticed that chick in this footage. I reckon she has more saucy memories of Jimi on that particular night...
she is gone but not forgotten find her memory.
Makes69
How did she die?
@@Einnor084 she was killed in a car accident not long after that concert according to her boyfriend who was seen behind her in this footage
@@bartrobinson2103
Dat suckz azz!
i remember hearing purple haze around the age of 10 in 1989 and his music is still the most hardcore stuff i've heard to this day
Hendrix was voted the best guitarist of all time by other musicians like Clapton, Richards, Berry, BB King and so many more, for a Rolling Stone survey, so all the so called experts who profess to know better should be ignored - they are out and out dick heads. He was my favourite, but I can understand why others, would have liked other guitarists - its all about choice and taste in music - but to deny that he was a great guitarist is to admit that you are without knowledge of music and the guitar !
Carlos attended the San Jose Pop Festival May 1969. He says this was one of Jimi's greatest. I was there a high school senior. Amazing show.
After you view this, listen to House Burning Down on the Electric Lady Land album with headphones.
Remove the word "Feedback" and you have it correctly. He was a master of the guitar, period.
The G.O.A.T.!!!!!
jimi was really out of this world
Just listen to the burning of the midnight lamp, its all there.
Listen to rock before Hendrix came on the scene, say from '60 - '66. There was nothing, absolutely nothing, like it before. He has been copied so much for so long that it's easy to forget how he reinvented the guitar. He is one of the most creative artists who ever lived in all of history. God, what a loss. RIP Jimi on your 70th birthday today.
What date was hee born? I know he died,September 18th,1970! 52 years,3 months ago!
His feedback has got to be sent out in radio waves to the cosmos and then the aliens will bow to us.
I saw JIMI twice in Houston, during Nam war, so there were a few people there tripping on acid....wild Times
Lucky you.
i wish i was here im only 47 years old from 10years old liked hendrix just something about him they can never copy him they may be able to sound like him but one can always tell that aint hendrix stevy ray does a good job and is good but cant touch hendrix my friend was a natural at giutar too and he could play any song few times to listen to it then pick up his guitar and play song but he could not do that with hendrix he could play the basic of the song but not sound the same but could sound the same say randy rhodes who was good too
I dont think I've ever seen so much hate on a hendrix video until now
Tengo 58 años i mis primos en 1971 tocaban mucho música de esta persona ellos eran bateristas i vivimos en ese entonces en Tlalnepantla hoy de los rocanroleros que se juntaban en tlane Edo de mex ya no más están en su casa ya se terminó pero peramo era que mi madre me llevo al concierto de avandaro uvieran visto era de noche i ví puras luces y tipos brincando en un escenario como asta hoy le Disen me acuerdo que mi madre nos tapaba con los árboles del lugar carago que bonita epoca
Marvin Bell: no stop it.
Jimi was just a mucisian who died before his time.
For mine he is the greatest.
Pete Townshend was really the first to use it as a part of his playing, but it was unrefined. People like Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix developed it into an art form.
Used to see Mitch Mitchell (RIP) the JHE drummer and had a good few drinks with him around Soho.
All Jimi wanted to do in the end is stand up, play his guitar, forget about the rolling around the stage and all that nonsense as he was totally fed up with all that stuff, been there, done it.
Guess he would have got in to some other musical forms maybe Jazz as Mitch came from a Jazz background being inspired by Elvin Jones amongst others. As a musician it must be easy to get bored by the crowd shouting out for Purple Haze for he umpteenth time. I really pity Jimi near the end, he was obviously searching for new musical directions. BTW..He did not play absolute rubbish at the IOW 1970 either, I was there and he did play a few decent songs.
He was to record with Miles Davis but we lost him.
@@matthewwaldman1524 Miles demanded more money before he would commit, thats the reason their collaboration didn't go ahead. IMO it was Miles' way of fighting back against the deeply rooted racism he and his fellow African Americans were being forced to endure.
The ending is the best.
