Belly Button Blessings to you for doing this . I met Mitch and enjoyed a few hours of him on July 26th 1985 at Harpos Victoria BC inner Harbour. I was 18. It changed me as a drummer. Mitch knew I was not allowed in and let me sit beside his hi hat side. Love it. Met Al Hendrix and I am left handed. This program series is a dream.beyond my dreams. Thanks so much. Jimi forever 🎉
Great content. I'm looking forward to '68. Saw him live early summer in Columbia, Maryland. I was 14. He has been my "Hero" ever since. Greatest guitartist of all time.
Hi. Really love the channel! Great work you're doing. Im a Record Producer/Mixer/Recording Engineer based in Los Angeles. I've written in depth essays of two very interesting shows I attended of The Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1968. I was also a friend of Jerry Stickells. As you're doing the episodes chronologically if you are interested ic checking out the essays I have written feel free to reach out. All the best. Richard Bosworth. @@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW
Two things about the 2-3 days Jimi spent in NYC prior to Monterey Festival. There was a tune-up gig or rehearsal by the Experience in Greenwich Village at either Cafe Wha? or Cafe A-Go-Go, (I can't be certain which). From your timelines I believe it had to be on June 14th since you say Mitch and Noel didn't arrive until the 14th. Also, during this time the Mothers of Invention were doing shows at the Garrick Theatre, around the corner. There are photos of Jimi and Frank at this time. I understand they spent some time together exploring guitar pedals/effects. etc. The reason I'm contacting you is, during this time, June 13-15th, I along with a buddy were sixteen year old run-aways staying in Greenwich Village. On what is most likely the 14th, we were on the street and heard the wildest, most amazing guitar sounds coming from either of the two clubs mentioned, and stood outside in a small crowd listening. I asked someone who it was and he replied. "It's the Experience, man." I've relayed this experience over the years to friends and also on You Tube, and some find it hard to believe. Maybe Jimi was jamming with other musicians, or maybe it was all three doing a tune-up/rehearsal but it was as real as I'm sitting here, some 56 years later. Can you shed some light on this?
Love the series.June 1967 episode was the best.Sadly enough these videos bring to light what an enormous loss it was to lose Jimi Hendrix.A true 20th century musical genius.
They still haven't fully realized the enormity of Mozart's, Robert Johnson's, Beethoven's, Janice Joplin's or Chuck Berry's genius either. What makes those artists immortal is the fact that they give musicians the skeletal foundations that they are then forced by nature to build upon. Jimi fits that category. These people are called 'spiritual alchemists' and are born preprogrammed to expand the world's collective consciousness in one way or another, and when they finish the work they're then quickly removed from this plane. That's how dat sht goes.
Jimi wanted the cover of the Axis Bold as Love album to be in the theme of american indians, but the designer misunderstood him for it to be in India style. By the time Jimi found out the covers were already in printing and to late to do anything about it.
Very much enjoying this series. Saw him At Monterey the first time. Sat there in the back just not believing what I was witnessing. Became an instant fan. Saw in San Diego and Los Angeles several times. SierraHotel. Thank you for putting these on. BravoZulu.
Congratulations, on a well presented piece on what was happening with Jimi during that magical June, Summer of Love...which really launched his success ! From Karl Ferris.
Karl, what an absolute privilege it is to get your feedback! I'm trying to tell the real story of Jimi Hendrix and the gift, to the world, that he truly was! I'm thrilled! All my love! PS Your contribution will always be welcome!
Great that you were able to assemble all of this. I had heard of the sessions that had STP-LSD. Dice, sounds like his week after Monterey and the environment w/the other musicians opened doors in Hendrix mind. STars that Play is like Purple Haze X 5 and should really be the psychedelic drug anthem. The version on the 1st B+W Polydor release of Loose Ends is the best. There was one trip on that and it went on for 16 hours with 3 peaks. We could literally see people's faces sitting in their window seats on the airplane. And we were just getting started. Only youth could endure it. But out there, in that time on the West coast I bet it was magical. Jimi used it and expanded his playing into new horizons.
Thank You BELLYBUTTON WINDOW for this collection. I lived in London 1967-1969 Saw Jimi play 3 times and he gave me his autograph at Frank Zappa Concert at The Royal Albert Hall. So Blessed!! ❤️
Thanks again. This is obviously a crucial month. Overlapping. Even if 6 was 9. The cutting of that so early. Cool. First I've ever heard that. Yes, it was freaky and eerie seeing Easy Rider. If one looks at the pics side by side at 19.38 you can see how much Jimi had aged. On the left is right before Isle of Wight. How many concerts in between leaving England and returning to England for the last time. Jimi once said something about the miles you've travelled as an indicator to wisdom or something. Too bad he couldn't have gotten some time off.
@@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW That's excellent news. I'm looking forward to it. Much gratitude once again for all your effort in creating this wonderful, unparalleled series.
This vid lets the listener live vicariously thru the specific month that turned TheExperience from a star on the small side of the pond into a global star over the next few months. Thanx I saw TheExperience at the helLA Forum about a yr later, and at the ripe age of 13 yrs, that event literally changed my life!
Thanks BBW for another fabulous video! I look forward to them! Thanks for putting the written info on the screen as well. I'm a Hendrix nerd so I enjoy all the deeper facts you put up.
Great video, it's so appreciated, I blew my chances to see Jimi live, one of my biggest regrets, but I did meet and talk to Billy Cox for about 15 minutes, such a nice gentleman
I've been a huge Hendrix fan since the beginning, love these vids, so much info my hat is off to you for finding so much info about his short career well done😅
38:47 That's Jimi with Rodney Bingenheimer of KROQ and "Mayor of Sunset Blvd" fame. I believe he WAS a stand-in/double for Peter at one point on the TV show though. 👀
Its crazy to think that all the greatest musicians from the 60s knew that Jimi was the real 100% authentic genius he was. They all wanted to have him stay with them and jam with them. As far as originality and musicianship, nobody came close to Jimi imo, he was the top of Mount Everest.
If you think he sounds ahead now….I remember buying the first album, putting it on and being blown away. (By contrast I had been learning some BBKing). Hendrix was like an alien from another world. When he played Toronto there had been a flying saucer sighting the day before and he told the crowd “oh that’s just my parents coming to check up on me”. He was so fucking cool. And I am a lifelong musician guitar player inspired by Hendrix to this day!
I have an off the air reel to reel tape recording of Jimi being interviewed by KFWB disc jockey B Mitchell Reed sometime around this time period. Could this be the interview on June 29?
Thanks for this series on Jimi! I heard of a story where Jimi showed off to Pete Townsend right before they had to decide who would go up first at Monterey, that Jimi stepped on a chair playing guitar. Dunno if that's just hearsay or true. So much BS around. Just have read Noel's autobiography and that's a good guideline, like the Hendrix bible of course by Glebbeek and Shapiro.
The Townshend/Monterey is pretty much universally corroborated. With respect to the books, totally agree. In fact, just read 'Room Full of Mirrors' by Charles Cross, which came out c2015. Interesting, some new information. Also, we've got links to most of the biographies, see the video description pages. Thanks for your input! Seasons Greetings!
Yes, and the complement they left carries significant gravity 🙏 regarding the nature of the person complementing and on-the-spot realization, which is a consummation to be desired, I think.
First off, thank you for your time and effort in making these posts. I really appreciate it. Having stated that, I feel embarrassed that i have to mention the following. The narration is very dry. It sounds robotic and lifeless. Could not someone read from a script? I’m sure that it would really bring the posts to life. Anyway, thanks once again for your time and effort.
In an ideal world, that would be the go, however compromise rules and this format enables certain efficiencies. Given I'm an one man band! Thanks for the feedback though! Cheers
You are welcome. Rodney auditioned for the Monkees. He wasn't chosen. Peter was. Rodney did some work on the Monkees set as Davey Jones double.@@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW
Great question. If I recall correctly, they were purchased in Carnaby Street, at one of the many fashion outlets of the era. There is a story we did not cover, of Jimi being confronted by an older British service-person who took offence. I think it was in Kathy Etchingham's book, see references. Cheers!
10:33 Jesus, look how long his fingers are. His LITTLE finger is longer than my MIDDLE finger. There is no doubt that hand size is essential to the control of the neck and strings.
No, the 1968 Metallic Blue Fender Strat, was stolen sometime after the Singer Bowl concert. We know that because the photographs show him playing with it. The rest is a complete mystery. Is somebody sitting on a goldmine? That it, if it even still exists. Bottom line, there's no record of the serial number, so provenance could not be established. Cheers!
* Correction* Your photo of Jimi Hendrix and Peter Tork is false. The person with Jimi is not Peter Tork but Rodney Bingenheimer, a famous Hollywood DJ/ nightclub owner/*hardcore groupie/ to which has the distinguished title of being known as the Mayor Of Sunset Strip. Ironically, because of his haircut and his height Rodney was used as a double for the back of his head for being a Davy Jones look alike for the Monkees tv series. However, this photo is not Peter Tork.
How you going to talk about the Are You Experienced photo session and setup and never once show any material related to that cover being made or even the cover itself ??
Who is the narrator? This is a great back story Ty! Pls can you make a documentary about, or include in an episode, the impact that Jimi had on the world as a whole, not just musically. Helping to pave the way for equality for all. The Black Rights movements and the Anti Class discrimination movement. Enlightenment through psychedelia, promoting peace and the anti war movement. The Hippie Experiment; Drugs and the Sexual Revolution. What influences and experiences made Jimi who he was and his place bringing all these things together and bringing a new image of peace, harmony and Love. Fronting against all the prejudices within Society and ingrained within the hearts and minds, of the average common people. Jimi was more than just a musical wonderman, he was an awesome human being as well, living in a radically changing time. His life achieved far more for our Social Development, reaching far beyond, simple noise entertainment. He was a catalyst for “these changes”, his music a catalyst for his ideas and those of his wide world. He was a living microcosm and personified the Revolutions of the times and there were so many other great musicians and great people in those times that he was blessed to live. Was the Jimi Hendrix Experience the first, or one of the first, racially mixed Jrock bands? When Jimi first came to England, he was portrayed by the media as the “Jungle Wildman”. By the time he returned to the USA in 1967, he’d largely won over the hearts of Britain. A massive Change had happened. What was going on and what happened during Jimi’s stay in Britain? Had he not come to England and formed his band with Noel and Mitch, would he have been able to launch himself and win America? And would the force of hard right conservatism been checked and allowed our world today to become? Jimi’s impact on the world, has affected us all forever more and will always be under appreciated. The world wouldn’t be the same without him and we owe a ton of gratitude and Happiness for his life, today sadly, unbeknown and forgotten. 🎸🔥
Brilliant! That is the plan, first however I want to tell the story, then delve into the very things you mention plus more. Appreciate your contribution. Cheers!
Quite a few pics are not chronological but so? I gotta admit I'm passed off at the sort of underhanded greed and shenanigans going on with the contracts and royalties and publishing going on!
Who were the people allowed to make the decisions for all his British album covers? AYE cover was bland and basic, Axis cover was a terrible idea juxtaposing Hendrix with sacred Hindu imagery and Electric Ladyland cover was cheap and sordid. Seems these decisions were done behind the band's back and they only became aware of them after release and were rightly not too pleased with the results after producing groundbreaking music to go inside these badly judged album covers.
The record companies had no respect for the musicians, particularly young, long-haired, black musicians. Check out the Pink Floyd track "Have a Cigar".
@@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW I recently heard purple haze while on DMT-it was all WAY too much. Not in a good way. Do you happen to know if Hendrix ever experimented with THAT terrifying compound(DMT)?
Jimi must have loved that Mothers of Invention album? Zappa said he just showed up at his house unannounced one day and somehow accidentally ripped his pants!
Yes, but then so were most artists of that era, and whilst we have yet to cover it, Jimi was terribly reckless with money, and I don't mean excessively generous, but this will be covered in due course. Thanks for raising this interesting point. Cheers!

He was far beyond mere genius. Fact is, the man was a true wizard, or as I and many others refer to him, an alchemist.
True, but always know that that Jimi was nothing but hapiness, partying and fun!!!
Your dillagence is unmatched. Wonderful channel. We stop what we’re doing to hear the newest episode while we’re on tour. Amazing.

Love your videos. How cool is it that cops were into Jimi Hendrix before many Americans!
Well, they are people first!
Wisdom never wastes words or people, but there are exception, great work thanking you much, cheers to you my friend
Well, thankyou for your kind words! Cheers
Especially these days, but even back then, few people truly realize the enormity of Jimi's genius.
Totally agree with you on this!
They still haven't fully realized the enormity of Mozart's, Robert Johnson's, Beethoven's, Janice Joplin's or Chuck Berry's genius either.

Yes- was going to say that’s Rodney .Awesome series ! Great work
The Monterey performance wasn't released until 1986. One of the greatest most impactful rock gigs of all time without doubt.
True! The first that I ever saw Hendrix was the 1973 documentary, posted on the Community Tab, which I saw in the 1980s!
Its crazy to think that all the greatest musicians from the 60s knew that Jimi was the real 100% authentic genius he was. They all wanted to have him stay with them and jam with them. As far as originality and musicianship, nobody came close to Jimi imo, he was the top of Mount Everest.
Very true!

Proof that he could play the guitar strung up side down @ 18:12.
Oh yeah!
Nice photo, he could also play it with the other hand according to one of the Rolling Stones who lived with him for a few weeks.

Jimi could have been a model in addition to being a stellar musician.
He's outfits, jewellry and style, was extraordinary!

Thanks for this series on Jimi! I heard of a story where Jimi showed off to Pete Townsend right before they had to decide who would go up first at Monterey, that Jimi stepped on a chair playing guitar.

Did anyone find that black strat, or that blue purple one that was stolen, must be worth millions now😢
No, the 1968 Metallic Blue Fender Strat, was stolen sometime after the Singer Bowl concert. We know that because the photographs show him playing with it. The rest is a complete mystery. Is somebody sitting on a goldmine? That it, if it even still exists. Bottom line, there's no record of the serial number, so provenance could not be established. Cheers!

Fair call! Cheers
Dsatroying guitars is sacrilege no matter who does it.
Not if it was an act of sacrifice?
He should have set fire to his hair then and gone bald.@@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW
Who is the narrator? This is a great back story Ty!
Pls can you make a documentary about, or include in an episode, the impact that Jimi had on the world as a whole, not just musically. Helping to pave the way for equality for all. The Black Rights movements and the Anti Class discrimination movement.
Enlightenment through psychedelia, promoting peace and the anti war movement.
The Hippie Experiment; Drugs and the Sexual Revolution.
What influences and experiences made Jimi who he was and his place bringing all these things together and bringing a new image of peace, harmony and Love. Fronting against all the prejudices within Society and ingrained within the hearts and minds, of the average common people.
Jimi was more than just a musical wonderman, he was an awesome human being as well, living in a radically changing time. His life achieved far more for our Social Development, reaching far beyond, simple noise entertainment.
He was a catalyst for “these changes”, his music a catalyst for his ideas and those of his wide world. He was a living microcosm and personified the Revolutions of the times and there were so many other great musicians and great people in those times that he was blessed to live.
Was the Jimi Hendrix Experience the first, or one of the first, racially mixed Jrock bands?
When Jimi first came to England, he was portrayed by the media as the “Jungle Wildman”. By the time he returned to the USA in 1967, he’d largely won over the hearts of Britain. A massive Change had happened. What was going on and what happened during Jimi’s stay in Britain?
Had he not come to England and formed his band with Noel and Mitch, would he have been able to launch himself and win America? And would the force of hard right conservatism been checked and allowed our world today to become?
Jimi’s impact on the world, has affected us all forever more and will always be under appreciated. The world wouldn’t be the same without him and we owe a ton of gratitude and Happiness for his life, today sadly, unbeknown and forgotten.
🎸🔥

I know it’s a tech thing and nitpicking but 208 was always pronounced ‘Two - O - eight’. ‘Two hundred eight’ jars. Another good vid though.
My bad! Thanks for that.
Karl Ferris is way too in love with himself.
Actually, he is a really nice guy. Cheers!
I wish he'd had a better manager.
Wasn't meant to be! Cheers.
Quite a few pics are not chronological but so? I gotta admit I'm passed off at the sort of underhanded greed and shenanigans going on with the contracts and royalties and publishing going on!
Cheers!
He was murdered
Perhaps!
Who were the people allowed to make the decisions for all his British album covers? AYE cover was bland and basic, Axis cover was a terrible idea juxtaposing Hendrix with sacred Hindu imagery and Electric Ladyland cover was cheap and sordid. Seems these decisions were done behind the band's back and they only became aware of them after release and were rightly not too pleased with the results after producing groundbreaking music to go inside these badly judged album covers.
The record companies had no respect for the musicians, particularly young, long-haired, black musicians. Check out the Pink Floyd track "Have a Cigar".
Record company's, just wait until we cover the Electric Ladyland fiasco!
@@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW Looking forward to it !!
Good morning to everyone it's 3:39 in the morning and I'm just now getting to this LOL excuse me while I kiss the sky 🎛️🎛️😩🎸🎛️🎛️
You're a legend! Cheers
First album ever bought was in 1997 Jimi Hendrix are you experienced and I still remember that damn cover. I was 11
Awesome! I never forget the first time I hear Purple Haze. Needless to say, my life changed. Best wishes!
@@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW I recently heard purple haze while on DMT-it was all WAY too much. Not in a good way. Do you happen to know if Hendrix ever experimented with THAT terrifying compound(DMT)?
@@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW oh and those WERE great pictures! My big brother had electric lady land along with the BBC sessions
Jimi must have loved that Mothers of Invention album? Zappa said he just showed up at his house unannounced one day and somehow accidentally ripped his pants!
Yeah, it's great! Cheers
jimi was robbed
Yes, but then so were most artists of that era, and whilst we have yet to cover it, Jimi was terribly reckless with money, and I don't mean excessively generous, but this will be covered in due course. Thanks for raising this interesting point. Cheers!
