Imagine being in your twenties and already have a clear understanding of the world.
That’s who Jimi Hendrix was.
Makes no sense. If the man did he would still be alive and not have hastened his own death before 28,
This common is old, but he is actually was 27 he was born November 27, 1942 and he died September 18, 1970, which makes him 27 I’m doing too much. It’s only one year off.
ahead of his time. even for today.
Jimi: mo money mo problems
That's what fat man Biggie said. That's his patter ya wanker.
Thing is, even when at the height of his career, Jimi didn’t have any money.
Jimi was one of the highest paid stars of the time, and he didn't see a dime of it. A lot of it got stolen by his manager Mike Jeffries, who squirreled it away in various offshore accounts. Check out Noel Redding's book "Inside the Experience", he talks a lot about it.
Lmfao. What a shit head you are
Mo money mo blues
In contrast to today's late night shows these older interviews are so much more tranquil. Today these shows are so high energy.
@Google Starbucks I....uhh..um
@@niketasdelgato4027 today ladies are also a lot louder if you get my drift
The laughter looked way more real too
yeah jee you're right? i didn't even realize.. late nite shows just got so much more annoying...
They realised the power of energy. That's what the applaud signs are for bro.
A soft-spoken, thoughtful, highly intelligent man who had barely begun to share his genius with us when he died.
4 albums and many recorded lives is not what i call "barely sharing". But i agree, he died way too young
@@rogermichou8654 Who knows what he could have done with the guitar had he lived on.
@@rogermichou8654 Such a loss
@@alancanham2956 A Great loss, to me for sure..
He was so young here only about 27 but his maturity is insane
I try to get up every day. Im still tryin today. Classic
Classic Jimi, rip.....
I laughed aloud when he said that
meacomefeyou
Dick felt outclassed on that one
Double entendre
@@meacomefeyou I did too, when i saw this in 69, i was rolling all over the floor, especially when he pulled his shirt up, you had to know Jimi to appreciate his sense of humor...
'They get fat and satisfied and they get lost and they forget about the actual talent that they have' Jimi was wise beyond his years and always so humble. That statement still stands pretty strong today. So many people let themselves go and lose themselves. Arrogance will do that. One of the many great things about Jimi Hendrix is that he seemed to have no idea how talented he actually was 🎸
Bill Graham let jh know about his talent in no unspecified terms at the bog shows.
true words
“Musicians, especially young cats, get all this money” think about all the rappers today and how relevant his talk is from 50 years ago
Except most rappers today have no talent
There's a difference between a musician and a rapper...
...only one of them can sing the blues, the other can make millions of individuals sing the blues.
@@abelton20 Whew, nicely put, and Amen!
Well rappers talk about money, more of it might help. I blame the people who listen to it
@@abelton20 writing hits and chart topping music is a talent in itself
Man Jimi Hendrix was the embodiment of the word “cool”. He’s a cool cat man.
So modest--so humble (until he was on stage, of course!)
Hell yeah!!!
@@seanroche4629 He's either mild-mannered Clark Kent who transforms into Superman--or mild mannered David Banner who transforms into the Hulk!
@@patricialambert3110 David Banner?
They renamed him David in the TV show because "Bruce" at the time was thought to have a homosexual connotation. True story!
He became a TOTALLY different person and ENTITY!!!
Jimi was the first to realise people getting lost in the sauce
Jimi knew how artists can get lost in their commercial success that their also lost their creativity, same as how U2's career went off to.
They laugh about his words but they don't see how serious he is about them...
Scary, huh?
I love how people in the late 60s referred to others as "cats"
Nicholas Dove I still use it and when I do it’s funny , some of the looks I get from the young cats.
@@benallmark9671 I do too! Was a child in the sixties but it just sounds cool to me. It's automatic, especially when talking to twenty-somethings.
That habit started with the black jazz musicians of the 1940s.
its more for jazz musicians, blues too
It was a different lingo they would use funny words to refer to other ppl or things
So humble, all great men are
Except Ali. The Greatest and not so humble.
I disagree, not everyone is humble it might not be in their nature
@Cranite Star I disagree. It wasn't a performance. Ali was just too great to be humble and he knew it.
John Lennon
Diana Ross is far from humble!
his voice is relaxing to listen to
Was just thinking the same thing
because he is morgan freeman
@@markozbunjol625 lol you read my mind
Oh, Jimi. The state of the music industry and world today would make you shed a tear. Fly high, my man. You’re certainly in a better place than this.
AMEN
Lol it was the same then also. Tons of snakes waiting for a new victim to latch onto.
@@PsychoGecko89 The FCC stepped in & began SANITIZING! artists rights as to what could be played over the airwaves because of war protesters & draft dodger pertaining to the Vietnam Conflict. & who was BUYING! the albums & tickets to the live shows? Why none other than the Vietnam Protester & draft dodgers. Now listen to the music. The core of music has been partially stripped away like the crown missing from the STATUE OF LIBERTY.
Not sure if he would agree with your last statement.
Fly on, Little Wing. That was partly himself as well as I see it.
This is actually one of the things that made Hendrix one of the greatest guitarists ever. The fact that he never stopped thriving for more, the fact that he always saw place for improvement. It saddens me to think what great music his death deprived us of, and the horizons it deprived him of.
Jimi Hendrix was WAY WAY ahead of his time as a TALENTED guitar player.....
Best guitar player ever. Or at least the most talented
Right again Captain Obvious. Quite astute
ROCKN i agree so much so sad he died so young
Beautiful man. Beautiful soul. Beautiful music. Genius is accurate. Honest, humble, REAL.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🎸☮️
Jimi’s voice is so relaxing, Definitely my favorite musical artist of all time, he was so humble and so intelligent, If only I could’ve seen him live.
I did see him in Detroit in 69 when I was 13. When he played Foxy Lady he started with the feedback and then started laughing and had to restart the song :-) Peace
More people should think like he did. Jimi is still more hip to reality than people today. He's telling musicians to keep their talent pure and guard it from bullshit people and ideas. Truth Bomb!
He genuinely seems like the kind of guy you can sit down with a have an interesting conversation.
Very intelligent and intellectual man......he was so refreshing and original and way ahead of his time.
And beautifully sensitive too.
Man I wish he lived a longer life. He missed out on so much great music and we missed out on what would’ve been great music from him.
I believe he was murdered after he got close to the Black Panthers. What are they so afraid of? Jimi was a good man.
Nobody wants to stay at the party too long. He wanted to be remembered for his prime youthful days, not some old hippie burnout.
We missed out, he didn't. When you think that a single star can last 10 trillion years, and the universe so many times more, whether we live 30 or 90 years is inconsequential and I personally believe dying is essentially eternal rest. We don't fear falling asleep, so we shouldn't fear it. But yes, people missed out because he could have been influential for another decade, maybe more. Then again Mozart didn't live that much longer, and he's still influential nearly 300 years after his birth so you never know. The only people I read about and really feel sorry about are the ones that had a lifetime struggle from birth to death due to terrible health, abuse and sometimes both. But when someone suddenly pops off? They don't suffer, its his family, friends, loved ones and maybe fans that do.
@@daviddufresne2757 so well said
You can't get more "COOL" than Jimi. What an amazing person
How was this man so enlightened so young? never ceases to amaze me Jimi.
Psychedelics
@@lenny3804 Yea. He is tripping there and then
@@lenny3804 No. Adversity. What other black American musician went to England to join the British invasion and ended up on top? He went through so much in his last 4 years, but he stayed true to himself. Drugs are overrated
@@lenny3804 No. Time spent in NASHVILLE & HARLEM. Some real WIGGY folk. Sumthin obviously u know NUTHING about. Psychedelics. What uh laff.
@@adifferentscenejams They dont know. If tahats the case everybody can drop some sort of PILL! & b enlightened. Problem is is that uhh pills` effects will wear off, enlightened is ETERNAL.
I love it when Jimi’s voice changes lower he has such a cool voice 2:05
Man, he really was a brilliant young mind. His take on compliments is ridiculously aware.
1:50 dude at the left looks like he is from a 2000 sitcom
Time traveler.
That’s Robert Downey Jr.’s dad
Damn yeah he dress like year 2000.. Wow.
@@RobotMillionaire thanks for that info
you are on point man!
Jimi was and is damn cool. He was the true musician. The dude's philosophy ran deep.
Nobody was more passionate about what he stood for than Hendrix. The music drove his beliefs. He was a philosopher without realising it. A man wise beyond his years.
What a humble guy.....so much talent ... a credit to his family....RIP
Love this man. Nobody like him in my 60 years. RIP brother.
we need him now
I wish there were more role models in the modern day world like jimbo here. So easy to look up to
His name is Jimi!!
there are
Jim Morrison is Jimbo! (jk)
It's not possible that particular era and music and fashion of that period defined those role models it's impossible in recreate that in a modern day environment 🙄
@@hsd287 Doesn't have to be. The way that those people were, were not a product of their time. Being wholesome, and just plain true to yourself and others, and such things as that, is no such thing as a product of it's time. I believe that anyone, anytime could be of such sensibilities. It just so happens, that there are not very many who are like that anymore. They may try to think, act, and talk like it, but it seems to be falling by the wayside with those many who are not exactly like that anymore. Not to say that they are wrong in being who they are, almost no one is. It's just that people are going with a different kind of flow these days. But I agree, I wish that some more folks would get back to that more relaxed way of being.
Wow. Just close your eyes and listen to this. It’s amazing to think we are here in 2019 listening to the voice of Jimi Hendrix. It feels like he’s talking to you.
I like his commitment to music, and honesty. These new artist can learn alot. I don't like the way the media labeled him a drug addict. I've seen all his live concerts and he was always clear eyed, and well spoken.
Wtf are you talking about, I have never seen the media portray him as a drug addict. The media continues to paint him as one of the most innovative guitarists of modern times.
Such a humble man. RIP my man.
What he describes in the beginning really aligns with Elvis’ later life. While that itself is sad, it’s also sad because Hendrix never took in enough happiness. Always reach for a emotional middle ground for yourself.
This guy just oozes coolness. Unreal charisma.
The definition of a legend.
The Greatest Of All Time!!! What else is there to say???
Only if you think so!
@Mark Breland SRV was great when he played all his Hendrix songs. You know Hendrix wrote all those SRV songs, right?
@Mark Breland SRV was an amazing blues man. But with all do respect, it's not even close. In fact if i had to pick the 5 greatest guitar players SRV wouldn't be there. Hendrix, Page, Clapton, Keith Richards, Jeff Beck.... Eric Clapton was so good they nicknamed him "GOD". Well some guy called Hendrix made GOD walk off stage shaking.
He was an amazing player, but far from the best.
No one was or is better than Jimi. He took it to a whole new level. A whole new Galaxy. 🎸🎶🛸
The man was ahead of his time in many way's, not just with his music. It still makes me sad we lost him at such a young age. Him and Janis.
Jimbo is so modest, you can tell he feels embarrassed, he doesn't seem to much of a people person, but his music speaks for him.
Who's Jimbo?
@@kaiserbld Yo Momma..
What a beautiful man, beautiful heart, beautiful soul,♥️🔥✌️💯🌈⛅✨
Been listening to Jimi for many years & this is the first time I heard Jimi speak. What a modest & soft spoken person! He left too soon :(
Jimi was so soft-spoken and pleasant.
Jimi seems really down to earth. Very practical and present.
Jimi is so humble.
Dick Cavett is one lucky man. He got to meet and interview all of these legends; Jimi Hendrix, Janice Joplin, Jim Morrison, etc.
He is so eloquent and smart.
Jimi was the one and only! The real man until the end.
"I try to get up everyday".....You always will be in my heart Jimy . Saludos de Chile
I once heard Bobby Knight say something to the effect of what Jimi was saying regrading compliments. He said "I don't like to give compliments to my players, because compliments make us lazy." I think they both are right.
Try that with your girlfriend or wife.
@@dalekelly7639 Yeah like Jimi was a real sad sack with the ladies...idiot.
@@dalekelly7639 It can also work against you with women. They do take kindness for weakness. By over flattery, they may start to think they can do to whatever they want -- including cheat -- and you'll still love them, regardless.
@@LightWolf_91 Jimi said he didn't like receiving compliments. He didn't say he didn't GIVE compliments.
@@lwmson whatever works for you.
My man! If the truth be told.... "Compliments distract me"....
What would be his motivation to play in front of audiences?
Dale Kelly to play!!
@@dalekelly7639 Discover what compliments distracted him from, and there's your answer.
Its amazing what he did in such a short period of time. Just imagine what he could’ve been capable of if he’d just lived a little longer.
Jimi Hendrix had pearls of wisdom that is just incredible. 🤯❤️
He was such a king!!!!!!!!!!!
“I try to get up every day.” 😁
Well, he hasn't gotten up everyday since 1970, so he does have a point. And no, this comment is not intended to be humorous. I'm just showing you that his remark makes more sense than you think.
Very intelligent man and I miss him terribly.
"I try to get up everyday". one of my heroes, Jimi Hendrix
I think he meant that “I try to get up everyday” as his depression keeping him from getting out of bed and the audience clapped along🤦🏽♂️.
I wish Jimi Still Got Up Everyday!
I'm sure He Does Somewhere. Thanks for Your Beautiful Contributions Here.
Literally nobody:
Jimi Hendrix: Y'know?
he was so polite and quiet but expressive. what a sweet man. love you jimi
An angel from heaven sprinkled a little extra stardust over Jimi's mom the night he was conceived, he was ethereal, a celestial being.
Sadly, the SPECIAL Ones are a gift to us for a short time. My first husband was one of those SPECIAL people, too. Lived to 23yrs old. Angels must fly...🕊
They belong to the Skies. Celestial for sure!!
🪄🔮🌌🌠
More Jimi PLEASE!!!!!! :)
In 2021 guitarists are still trying to play like him , get his tone , copy his riffs etc . Jimi didn't read music , it was all playing through emotion . Eric Clapton , Robin Trower have come very close to capturing Hendrix's magic . I believe the ability of perfect pitch plays an important part in what these guitarists do so well . 🎸☮️✨✨✨✨
If you think Clapton and Trower came close you're not hearing Jimi.
Hendrix is being respectful, honest and down to earth. Meanwhile Cavett is making fun of his shirt and lamely talking to him like he’s weird. Its too bad because he missed out on a chance to talk to Jimi Hendrix.
He was really ahead of the time he lived in.. his way of speaking sounds like a lot of rappers today in interviews
... Come to think of it, you're right. Similar thought patterns.
"The more money you make, the more blues you can sing"
-Jimi Hendrix
Dick Cavetts show was different from Carson and the rest. He embraced the then counter culture. The only way to see these acts was at their gigs.No MTV or UA-cam, etc. Seeing people like Hendrix on TV was a true rarity.
I could listen Jimi taking the whole day. Just a humble and unique person.
Thanks for the video, Jimi was such an icon as a person.
Rip one of the greatest right here
You can tell what a thinker he is by how he looks down and away so much... such a creative force, even early on... i remember seeing the beautiful drawings he made when he was a child in the rock and roll hall of fame
“Hundreds of thousands of dollars,” and Jimi is considered the greatest guitarist of all time. My, what a sacred time it seems from now. Love and joy.
Jimi: The Greatest Guitar Player who ever lived.....
He seems like such a cool and down to earth person
As said many times before.... Jimi was wayyy ahead of the times.
His wisdom is much needed today.
What a sweet man!!! It's hertbreaking that he died sooo young. Amazing guitarist, songwriter, talent and voice. RIP Jimi
I'm super chicken and don't you forget it
No
Aspi kind of joke... He also didn't understand the last joke or felt confused by it.
@@nsjs932 Aspi or ASD
Can someone explain , I don’t really get it
@@bneck3801 Essentially Jimi had a very... philosophical approach to life in general. He didn't identify with labels and almost never lived inside his Ego.. so to him.. Superstars don't exist.. that's why he said "I'm super chicken" because for 1. He's very humble and always shows love and 2. Proving a point that as a society we don't need these kinds of labels.
Jimi was A poet and a prophet of his generation that had his thumb on the pulse of culture
Jimi Hendrix knew what he was saying because it was the truth and it still is.
I love listening to Hendrix talk. His voice is so soothing.
he is morgan freeman wake up people
Such a nice well mannered man wish was still to teach these young ones how it's done
1:31 "Just like drinking coffee, well you don't drink it everyday or else you go into another scene with it..."
his reaction to "well i don't know but it sounds good" shows Cavett missed what he meant.
A Veson I think I missed it too
What did he mean?
Maybe I've got this wrong but seems to me he was saying you there are many thing ("hang-ups") that you can use "as steps" to learn/grow from and move forward but if you get caught by them you "go into another scene with them", meaning you get stuck, not learning or moving forward but using them as a crutch. When they other guy says "I don't know but it sounds good" I think he misses that it wasn't a positive thing. I would love to hear what other people thought it meant, that's just what I got.
@@aveson5149 ojala supiera ingles
Jimi certainly skipped a coffee day or two
such a gentle soul and so sensitive, and a super Genius
Thanks for posting this video, I needed the humble reality check that Jimi described.
"You wouldn't drink coffee everyday, or else you'd go into another scene..." Just how unhealthy have people become?
Seriously. I heard that and just thought I drink coffee 3 times a day. I wonder if maybe he meant something else. Or was coffee that crazy back then.
@@indisantander8516 I think the point is, coffee is still that crazy, but lots of people are just fully addicted now. Try run your life without it for a while, once it’s got it’s hooks in
@@oberonmcclinchie8534 Coffee is addictive, but is generally found to have benefits that outweigh any negatives when it comes to health. Drinking it every day is fine. Everything in moderation, though.
@@sillyskeleton says the scientific research, funded by coffee corporations 😂
@@sillyskeleton what benefits dog? Making yourself need it to feel energised?
He opened for the Monkees and they referred to him as a perfect angel, a sweetheart of a guy.
Had my favourite poster as a teenager in 70s ..loved this guy...my hero..
I feel like I can really relate to Jimi, and that makes sad and happy at the same time. Happysad
Lost Jimi way too early. Such a good soul as well as genius .
jimi looks drug free here. Such a shame that he was taken from this earth so soon.
Really nice, down to earth guy
with good sense of humor. Always loved the song "little wing" , "angel" and "third stone from the sun". 🙏💜
Barbara Hineline The Image that was perpetrated of Hendrix was of the ultimate Junkie, Nobody that knew him with any real credibility will agree with that nonsense, in fact he was known for being a Fanatical PERFECTIONIST. The cause of his Death is quite questionable as well, Monika Dannemane changed her story of what happened that Day, night, and morning over 17 times and when she was Subpoenaed to court she committed Suicide. The Coroner's report also stated that there were abnormally large amounts of Red wine in Jimi's Lung's, as if he was waterboarded. "Cold Case"??
@@JamesBond-ml3zp I believe 100% that he was murdered.
amistry605 and Kathy Etchingham admitted in a interview( you can"Google" it) that one time when Jimi made her Angry she WAITED until He went to sleep and I quote " I took a heavy Steel Frying pan and Hit him over the Head" unquote. She could have Killed him then, luckily Jimi survived. Then she stated in the Same interview that Jimi Drank Extremely Large amounts of Wine. Freudian Slip?? Even the Jazz Great Miles Davis said when he heard of the Pill Overdose, that " Jimi Knew better than that!! He and Hendrix were close. If it would have happened here in the USA especially Los Angeles it would probably have been treated as a crime scene, the LAPD is VERY investigating and are ALWAYS solving Cold Cases
The most recent one( It was on ALL the Local News Stations) was the murder of a young woman 45yrs. ago and guess what? they caught and Arrested the Suspect still alive and kicking a month ago!!! Reopen the case Janice Hendrix!!
Michael Turner, apparently Jimi Hendrix found out that his manager, who was involved with Mafia and CIA, was stealing from Hendrix a large amount of money and Hendrix had a court date coming up to deal with the matter. He apparently had the court date right after his death. To make matters more interesting Jimmy's manager took out an insurance policy on him that stated if Hendrix died, his manager would receive two million dollars. To make things more clear, the Black Panthers were also showing up at Hendrix's shows armed and CIA and other powers that exist sure didn't like a black man like Hendrix, one with money and more power than he realized, not saying, "they're not with me." Just too many crooked people benefiting from his death, honestly.
Dan Juric Now this is the truth, No Lie, I know a Band that made it big back in the Late 70's early 80's and are still doing Oldies but goodies Gig's to this day but have to work on a 9-5 Job. One of the Lead Singers was a GOOD friend of mine and he told me that when the Band was BIG that their Mng. took out a Life Insurance policy on each of them every time they flew. There were 9 members in the BAND. He told me it was a million dollars each, you do the math. This is common practice to this day For ALL popular entertainers although the amount varies. Also the Really Successful one's have multiple Insurance policies, even for Valuable body parts like The hands of LeBron James, Kim Kardashians "ASS", etc. you're smart "FACT CHECK" Google is the NEW Encyclopedia(BETTER) Don't be Ignorant, Google it". Google "Lloyds Of London"" One Celebrity had her "Leg's Insured". As for the Mafia and the CIA that's utter nonsense.
My gosh, he was a gift to the world.
Jimi Hendrix was an extremly sentisitive human being, and you can feel this in his music. In total contrast with the guitar heroes since early 80's who have a tendency to think that music is a competition, and play super fast and at the surface whereas Hendrix used to dig a lot his instrument when improvising. Not to mention that he was an astonishing composer. Super Genius
Jimi really was saying that dudes love music but often times don’t have inner oneness so when the money comes it fills the empty voids that the music didn’t fill and ultimately takes over a person. Exactly how we see today. Young 18 year olds lose themselves because they don’t know themselves and the money makes the hole deeper
Jimi is a legend. His voice and his look doesn’t match. He’s so hip and cool he looks bored on Cavett’s show. Ha. Like everyone else, I WISH he was ALIVE!! I think he would’ve gotten funkier as the 70s progressed. God only knows where he would’ve gone. It’s ok though cuz what he left was enough for his legacy to be secure.
Rest in peace jimi hendrix
Jimi was so humble such a beautiful spirit.
