My name is Mary, and I'm 72 [today Jan 24, 2024']. This was my theme song every time I opened my radio show as a DJ at my college radio station [WIIT Chicago] in 1969. I was 18 then, and still love this tune now... Wish I could have seen Jimi play live back then!
Happy birthday Mary! Myself I took my wife to see Buddy Miles on her birthday. Just so happens my wife Mary is a disco queen 😅 But I got to meet Buddy between sets and mentioned her birthday today and how she grudgingly came with. When the band got back onstage he dedicated "The Wind Cry's Mary" to my wife on her birthday! To me it was too f---ing cool!❤
Forget the guitar for the moment. This is a beautiful and highly original dream jazz soul masterpiece. A most unusual song structure made real by three wonderful musicians. RIP the Experience
This is because of the limitations of live TV studio recording. He did not mean to play this quietly. He was forced to. Look at the direction of his amp.
One of the most beautiful and perfectly written songs ever created. It should one of the songs they send out to space. Simply timeless. “Will the wind ever remember the names it has blown in the past”?
Jimi Hendrix is playing a guitar solo... and you've got the camera pointed at the bass player. Bravo. I hope someone in the past was waiting for him outside the studio with a sock full of pennies...
it's all lip sync. Jimi doesn't look very happy about it either none of them do. I think it was remastered to sound live but if you listen close it's the album cut note for note which is rare for any band to do live. What really gives it away are shots of the drummer when you hear cymbals ring out and he's not hitting them. The drumming looks so fake you just have to laugh.
@@johnconnor9679 A lot of things and they're in all his lyrics and interviews but there is no trace whatsoever that he said that. It comes from aphorisms by Sri Chinmoy; "When the power of love Replaces the love of power, Man will have a new name: God." "World-peace Can be achieved When the power of love Replaces The love of power"
@@johnconnor9679 He said "With the power of soul, anything is possible". "With the power of you, anything you want to do". That was from a song and that's how the quotes got confused which the other one was from an 1800's English guy.
This evening I played " The wind cries Mary" with my stratocaster . I learned this song long time ago,when I was young and Hendrix alive. My feeling is the same: GREAT ,WONDERFUL,ORIGINAL ARTIST!!!
All three gone and so much went with them. I remember the first time I saw them, TOTP about 1967/8 doing Hey Joe, I couldn't believe it. Went straight out and bought the album and played it in my bedroom on my Dansette record player. What a time to be alive.
A continuous comment on UA-cam. Why are you surprised? Good musicians who can play music well. Why is that surprising? Should Jimi Hendrix need Auto-Tune and overdubs?
Beautiful...I stood right next to him for a few magic moments way back on Bleaker Street in 1968 , when I noticed who was next to me he smiled and said something friendly ..he had two lovely women on either side of him and we were all looking into the window of a hip clothes store . one of those memories I cherish . It was right across the street from the Electric Circus ! ( flash back memories )
Lefty guitarists rule, but Hendrix played every style, each hand, backwards and forwards and his melodious voice too. My fave musician begins with him.
I had never bothered to listen to this song closely to realize what a gem of a poem it is. And it is the calm Jimi Hendrix, which you would see now and then. He was also saying like, man, here I am....
In the olden days we read the liner notes on album covers. Almost every song on Axis Bold As Love stands on its own as a fabulous poem - no music needed. What a beautiful mind!
After all the jacks are in their boxes And the clowns have all gone to bed You can hear happiness Staggering on down the street Footprints dressed in red And the wind whispers "Mary" A broom is drearily sweeping Up the broken pieces Of yesterday's life Somewhere, a queen is weeping Somewhere A king has no wife And the wind, it cries "Mary" (Instrumental) The traffic lights, they turn blue tomorrow And shine their emptiness down on my bed The tiny island sags downstream 'Cause the life that lived is dead And the wind screams "Mary" Will the wind ever remember The names it has blown in the past?

Such a beautiful man. His voice, his guitar, his 'looks'. Even when alive this man orbited💫 the earth. He was from the Universe and left us his magic ❤
Still it would've been nice to see him playing guitar but thanks to the film The Good, The Bad and The Ugly it became a fad to do extreme facial closeups.
Man he was the coolest looking Rocker ever! His guitar playing speaks for its self . Let’s talk about his cool vocals! That gets overlooked because of his playing!
In England and Europe he appeared on a lot of TV shows, when he came back to America, he couldn't get on Any TV show. Luckily we have these videos from when he was England and europe for us to see and treasure.
Fact is, Jimi didn't like his voice. I couldn't imagine someone else singing his songs when he was alive. Very cool voice like you said. And also I'm thinking about those lucky men and women who had the privilege to sit there and watch the best trio ever playing in front of them. Good times for music.
I have talked to a few players who new or opened for him in concert. Each said -"there was no one like him. He oozed soul on guitar and vocal". One player made the comment that I found very interesting: "Part of Jimi's guitar sound - was his voice - the soul was in both". One player who I had take lessons from in the 1960's related to me after Jimi's set with The Isle Bro's, he sat at the bar and they talked with him. He told my buddies he wanted to start his own band. They thought 'well, he's kinda flashy but his own band?" The rest is history...
Two clasic guys who spoke to a whole generation together. And I never thought they would ever be seen singing together again! I always loved these two!❤️
This song reminds me of a very special friend of mine whom I haven’t seen nor heard from since 1998, Mary. solis, I still love and think of you every day and yes the wind still cries Mary
This was me, spellbound by the song, the words, everything. I was about ten years old. What are ten year-olds expected to aspire to in today's popular music? Play them this, watch their reaction. I am so amazed to see this on UA-cam. Thank you.
Born in 77, i got hooked on jimmy in 89/90. Changed my life. Im now 46, i have a 6 month old cat,,,, her name is Marry. Because of this song is, 10 years older than me, amazing, may he live forever
Seems to have been the style back then. So many films/videos of bands back then have just closeups of their faces, with some goofy fast zooming in and out - psychedelic groovy baby. Check out some old camerawork of Cream, for instance. Same thing. Opportunities wasted.
It must have been requested by Jimi or his manager, Chas Chandler-to *not* broadcast his technique. It’s too consistent that the 3 camera ‘live in studio’ would accidentally miss Jimi’s solo. It was no accident, apparently…
The cameras were HUMUNGOUS and took 2-3 guys to move around… without planning it all out they couldn’t just cut to somewhere else without wheeling it over there…
I've never seen this before. Greatness personified. I think of all the music we missed because of his untimely death and say to myself, if only he'd lived
glorious. Thanks for finding and sharing. What would Jimi Hendrix say to the current madness of the human world? Give peace and love a chance. Freedom. Nature.
As close to the studio version as Jimi probably ever played live. Sweden must've seemed like Neptune or something to him so, "Hey guys, relax. Let's nail this sucker." a very high quality capture from that era. Great.
This is tremendous footage. Jimi Hendrix Experience when they were just starting to make it and reshaping what people thought could be done with rock music. Amazing!
As a lifelong musician, drums was my 1st instrument, but when I saw Jimi on my 14th birthday (6-22-69) @ Devonshire Downs, Granada Hills Ca. (which is on video) I realized "I'm suppose to be in front of the stage" & have been ever since. Thanks Jimi. See you in heaven.
I think this is a live recording. Jimi was known for matching his studio tracks. The drumming is subtle and magnificent. He is playing the drums and Jimi is strumming. Even on a slow, beautiful song, his playing is effortless and exquisite.
Definitely played live, not miming to the studio recording. There are small, subtle differences in Jimi's vocal delivery and in the guitar solo and ending. But it hews very close to the studio version!
it's in beautiful colour this programme.i had this song on tape,right from the start.a lad in my class said that his parents had a Jimi Hendrix record in the house and it was the wind cries mary.he said"it's "rubbish"! I replied that it's the only Hendrix record that I didn't like.i thought that it was bland.it's actually quite mellow,soft and soothing.not bad when you're sleepy or relaxing.listening to all of his other music,you would never believe that it was the same artist!
I made many friends using this type of hairdo in the early 70’s , this song reminds me when I left El Salvador for good at age 21 and I’m 67 now, thanks.
We never got enough of jimmy. I love him and was so sad at his passing. I bet the angels are having a great time. Just miss him so...he had so much to contribute. ❤
Jimi was killer, but you are so right the JHE was 3 guys, Jimi of course, Mitch influenced by Jazz and Noel who 'suddenly' found himself as the bass player. Amazing what these strangers to each other did.
@@InterstellarBreakdown Life long Hendrix fan here. Sent this video to my sister who always said to me, "You love that screaming guitar Hendrix, not for me." This a few other songs Iby him I sent her had her changing her tune. I always mention this video to people who think like her and who think he / they were only loud jumping around making noise. That's the thing about him / them. Jimi could be wild but he could also just stand and play his ass off with or without effects. He was very versatile and pretty good with an acoustic guitar also so there's another myth that he was all gadgets that falls to the floor.
I’m so glad this is available in a streamable format after all these years. I played my vinyl copy so many times that I had to get a second one when I wore the first one out.
Thanks for colourising this. It deserves the life colour brings. It is expertly filmed - cinematically so. I used to be angry the director didn't get the solo, until I learned Jimi insisted his technique wasn't filmed so others didn't steal his style.
Yeah I noticed that too. Having some basic TV production training, my guess is they had limited cameras and needed to make sure they could get back on his face whenever the solo ended. Hopefully the broadcast version did better.
In the 1990s...my mom not only loved me, she respected me. When I said Jimi Hendrix was the greatest guitarist who ever lived, my mom was determined to watch with me a high quality TV documentary on him....which featured him high as a kite, chasing his girlfriend with a brick in his hand. My mom still watched it. She loved me
Such a beautiful song. I’ve long thought his songwriting talent doesn’t get the recognition it deserves, being somewhat overshadowed by his unbelievable guitar playing.
I COULDN'T EVEN TIE MY SHOE DAT GOOD YET, I COULD SING THIS SONG THOUGH, DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS TALKIN ABOUT, BUT EVEN @ AGE 5, IT BROUGHT TEARS 2 MY EYES. MR. JIMI HENDRIX, THE father of ACID ROCK. FLY HIGH MY HOMIE.
HE WILL ALWAYS BE GREATNESS...FANTASTIC.. MAGNIFICENT GENTLE MAN AND THE BESTEST GUITAR AND COMPOSER EVER IN MY TIME...AND NOW!!!RIP BLESSINGS TI THE HENDRIX SPIRIT ❤😢😢
Here's why Nashville players loved Jimi. It's an elegant country ballad, plain and simple. His Native American accent is what hides it's true nature. What a genius.
@@averyadrian1534 There definitely _was_ country in Jimi's blood. Read the interview excerpts compiled into "Starting at Zero" and look at how he describes his own music therein, for example. "Country" is one of the forms that he mentions. Listen to the guitars on "Stepping Stone" or "Night Bird Flying". The country influences are clear. Moreover, trying to limit Jimi's music to "blues-rock" does him an injustice. Again, consider he way he sought to describe his own music in the interviews he gave. He wasn't interested in being lumped into a particular style.
Aside from obviously jimi being jimi, Noel and Mitch sound very good here, simple but solid and on a couple of moments Mitch lets his skills shine through with those cool fills which is always nice, criminally underrated drummer.
Awesome performance. This is very true to the recorded version. I'm guessing this must have been very close to when it was recorded and released, sounds like a studio outtake.
This is one of Jimi's finest.. no scatological nonsense whatever. Pure musical and lyrical beauty, depth and purity.. like a perfect poem played by Mitch Mitchell, Noel Reading and the master of masters himself. ✌️💨🍄🫶🕊️🛸👽🤷🎵😸✌️🐕☀️🌐😁🍀🧡

I saw Jimi do this song in 1967. It's hard now to describe how creative, new, and original his music was back then!
I, too, was lucky enough to have seen him in person. Those were the days...
No, it's not.
It's hard to describe how creative, new and original his music is now.
Yes, it is.@@digitalimager4946
@@gilldanier4129 Very true!
Somewhere a queen is weeping, somewhere a king has no wife..always remember this lines from my youth

Forget the guitar for the moment. This is a beautiful and highly original dream jazz soul masterpiece. A most unusual song structure made real by three wonderful musicians. RIP the Experience
He was capable of loud and wild, soft and melancholy. A master!
he channeled his emotion his vibration through his music he filtered his emotions through his guitar turning his spiritual vibration into sound!
Belly button window,from cry of love,first song that came to mind,Angle,same album!
One of the original grunge-rockers. They've got a statue of Jimi in his hometown of Seattle.
This is because of the limitations of live TV studio recording. He did not mean to play this quietly. He was forced to. Look at the direction of his amp.
"Somewhere a Queen is weeping; somewhere a King has no wife." I'm 77, that line has been blowin' me away for decades now... love it.

Totally agree!
Out-Dylaned Dylan!
I don't know about sending it to space. The Borg would put Earth on the top of their Assimilation List.
Good lyricist too...
right on man I utterly completely agree.
I've never hear Jimi play this softly. What amazing footage to find. Loved this.
Jimi Hendrix is playing a guitar solo... and you've got the camera pointed at the bass player. Bravo. I hope someone in the past was waiting for him outside the studio with a sock full of pennies...
You got it, man. I hope that cameraman never worked again. He probably went into politics.

Also at the time noone really knew the band together. only solo acts and Jimi wasn't famous yet. @@truescotsman4103
You can tell because mitch is playing very poorly considering.
You would ge right, why were we not seeing the legend strumming instead of facial close ups? Its almost a criminal offense!
My favorite Jimi Hendrix song... That guitar solo is perfection 👏👏👏
Jimi's quote: "When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.”
Fake quote. Jimi never said that.
@@TheTRUTH-lm9cf What exactly did he say?

After all the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness
Staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red
And the wind whispers
"Mary"
A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces
Of yesterday's life
Somewhere, a queen is weeping
Somewhere
A king has no wife
And the wind, it cries
"Mary"
(Instrumental)
The traffic lights, they turn blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags downstream
'Cause the life that lived is dead
And the wind screams
"Mary"
Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past?
And with this crutch
Its old age and its wisdom
It whispers, "No, this will be the last"
And the wind cries
"Mary

Never another person with the skills and the feel for music like Jimi Hendrix....
I don't think I've ever heard Jimi so intimate on any other track.
The cameraman needed to be fired. He missed every moment of Jimi's playing. The cutaway to Noel's bass during the solo is unforgivable
Seems to have been the style back then. So many films/videos of bands back then have just closeups of their faces, with some goofy fast zooming in and out - psychedelic groovy baby. Check out some old camerawork of Cream, for instance. Same thing. Opportunities wasted.
It don't matter. Jimi is till there, playing in the picture. that's all that matters.
I wonder about that too like maybe it was etiquette or something thing idk maybe they didn’t want you to see unless you went to the shows lol

This a few other songs Iby him I sent her had her changing her tune. I always mention this video to people who think like her and who think he / they were only loud jumping around making noise. That's the thing about him / them. Jimi could be wild but he could also just stand and play his ass off with or without effects. He was very versatile and pretty good with an acoustic guitar also so there's another myth that he was all gadgets that falls to the floor.
Mitch played to the song, and Jimi gave him great songs to play to.
I’m so glad this is available in a streamable format after all these years. I played my vinyl copy so many times that I had to get a second one when I wore the first one out.
I love this version
Well done guys. Meaty riffs ty
Lucky audience members, can’t imagine their memories
Thanks for colourising this. It deserves the life colour brings. It is expertly filmed - cinematically so. I used to be angry the director didn't get the solo, until I learned Jimi insisted his technique wasn't filmed so others didn't steal his style.
Glad they got plenty of close ups of the bass guitar while Jimi is soloing
Yeah I noticed that too. Having some basic TV production training, my guess is they had limited cameras and needed to make sure they could get back on his face whenever the solo ended. Hopefully the broadcast version did better.
Noel Redding a man you would meet in the West Cork local Irish pub for a chat and a pint..rip
In the 1990s...my mom not only loved me, she respected me. When I said Jimi Hendrix was the greatest guitarist who ever lived, my mom was determined to watch with me a high quality TV documentary on him....which featured him high as a kite, chasing his girlfriend with a brick in his hand. My mom still watched it. She loved me
he channeled his emotion his vibration through his music he filtered his emotions through his guitar turning his spiritual vibration into sound!
there will never be another Jimi Hendrix!
100% spot on.
Such a beautiful song. I’ve long thought his songwriting talent doesn’t get the recognition it deserves, being somewhat overshadowed by his unbelievable guitar playing.
?!?! you're not the only one, trust me a lot of people in this world unfortunately.

He was such a cool iconic person ✌️😁
I COULDN'T EVEN TIE MY SHOE DAT GOOD YET, I COULD SING THIS SONG THOUGH, DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS TALKIN ABOUT, BUT EVEN @ AGE 5, IT BROUGHT TEARS 2 MY EYES. MR. JIMI HENDRIX, THE father of ACID ROCK. FLY HIGH MY HOMIE.
Was lucky enough to see Jimi live in Rokford, IL. I was just 14. Fantastic show!
HE WILL ALWAYS BE GREATNESS...FANTASTIC.. MAGNIFICENT GENTLE MAN AND THE BESTEST GUITAR AND COMPOSER EVER IN MY TIME...AND NOW!!!RIP BLESSINGS TI THE HENDRIX SPIRIT ❤😢😢
The song just came into my consciousness again. A moment ago I haven't heard it for years totally fabulous
Here's why Nashville players loved Jimi. It's an elegant country ballad, plain and simple. His Native American accent is what hides it's true nature. What a genius.
If only all country was like this...
It’s blues - rock - ain’t no country in Jimi’s blood
Huh'...?☆¿ 🫢
@@averyadrian1534 There definitely _was_ country in Jimi's blood. Read the interview excerpts compiled into "Starting at Zero" and look at how he describes his own music therein, for example. "Country" is one of the forms that he mentions. Listen to the guitars on "Stepping Stone" or "Night Bird Flying". The country influences are clear. Moreover, trying to limit Jimi's music to "blues-rock" does him an injustice. Again, consider he way he sought to describe his own music in the interviews he gave. He wasn't interested in being lumped into a particular style.
The camera man outstanding job....
Aside from obviously jimi being jimi, Noel and Mitch sound very good here, simple but solid and on a couple of moments Mitch lets his skills shine through with those cool fills which is always nice, criminally underrated drummer.
Rip M.M.
Underrated ?? I don't think so.
Maybe by people who don't know sh*t about music.
@@pierric2748 Mitch was taught to play drums by Jim Marshall. Yes, that Jim Marshall.
Such talent. Left us too soon. I’m 72 and still love this.
nice work.
As a Mari Ann, I love the way Jimi pronounces my name,
it’s so light & delicately pretty! 🎉❤❤
Awesome performance. This is very true to the recorded version. I'm guessing this must have been very close to when it was recorded and released, sounds like a studio outtake.
This is one of Jimi's finest.. no scatological nonsense whatever. Pure musical and lyrical beauty, depth and purity.. like a perfect poem played by Mitch Mitchell, Noel Reading and the master of masters himself. ✌️💨🍄🫶🕊️🛸👽🤷🎵😸✌️🐕☀️🌐😁🍀🧡
Thanks Seedy, the softer side of Jimi!
Beautiful drumming
Brilliant drumming
What an icon .... what a guitar player .... what a talent.
He's so gorgeous. In every way. His music is incredible, and the band was fantastic.
and the wind , you can't see it but you know it's there !!
Thou must be born-again "
And you can feel the wind.
