Probably right -- same with the obvious All Along the Watch Tower, but there is another which is so cool but with little attention -- Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window.
Ah, I bet you are thinking of "All Along the Watchtower". This version of "Like a Rolling Stone" was a not a big hit, as awesome as it is with fans. I can't see how it could have made as much royalties as the original which was played all over the radio at the time. To me the whole thing is cool, and both versions are important.
We live in a charmed age, the best ever, and the best there will ever be. So many magical musicians, and we have access to them all. The future is a little less optimistic perhaps, but rock on while you can~
I couldn't agree more with yours and the first other three commenters here! I like to think of people like myself as "Straddlers." One foot in the Old World, one in the New. If ur like me and over 50, u remember growing up in the analog 70's and 80's , spending whole afternoons listening to entire albums with friends, roaming about outside, 3 channels on TV, all that nostalgic, and possibly better- for - your-mental - health stuff, lol. BUT, yeah, now UA-cam has a literally endless cool AF content to watch, and all the other digital/tech toys out there. So we Straddlers are blessed to remember the Old World, and hopefully survive ourselves (i.e. humanity) to see the potential mind-blowing gobsmackery of AI, which is STILL in its infancy, in ten or even five or sooner years...

Now...going to youtube is an embarrassment of riches for Zep fans and all the other Classic Rock and countless other categories of ANYTHING you have a whim to access. It really is charmed and magical, like you said, but that hasn't stopped me from feeling nostalgic about my old treasured "Badgeholders" bootleg...
It’s my contention that this was when Jimi was his happiest in his whole career. He was an unknown. There is film footage of him just kicking back in the audience himself, enjoying other acts. No one pestering him. When he hit the stage, no pressure, because there was no high expectations.
All success is disappointing. When he became the highest paid entertainer on the planet, it certainly wasn’t as sweet as he thought. Probably suffered an episode of depression.

But Jimi's manager Mike Jeffries vetoed the project because they wouldn't receive royalties from it. Leon said Dylan hosted him and their dad after Jimi's passing--took them to dinner and told them how much he admired and appreciated Jimi❣️ Awwwe
Fun fact: Jimi idolized Bob Dylan. In fact that's who he modeled his hairstyle after. One of the first times he dropped acid he was hanging out with Marianne Faithfull, Mick Jagger's then girlfriend, and they were listening and nerding out over Dylan's album "Blonde on Blonde". I learned this story through the Hendrix biography "Room Full of Mirrors," which I highly reccomend.
I know you said one of his first acid trips.I heard Devon Wilson introduced Jimi to his first trip not to long before the fame.Must’ve been 65 or 66 if true 🤷🏾♂️
There's something almost mystic and totally captivating in the sound, tempo and rythym that Hendrix produces; Like A Rolling Stone is a majestic cover, not just an idiosyncratic version but a masterpiece of a masterpiece. The sound is completely recognisable as his own, and the song remains a fabulous tribute to Dylan. Tears of joy.
jeff beck was doing incredible modern electric guitar playing before this but hendrix popularized the new distorted sounds with hits and airplay on the radio and recordings and look at the guy, so cool and expressive, beck a bit introverted but beck and hendrix are at the top of the tree for groundbreaking guitar playing
"It's really outta sight here, it didn't even rain...no buttons were pushed"...and Jimi Hendrix covered , in the coolest way imaginable, one of the greatest songs ever written. Chalk one up for Team Humanity.
Jimi was feeling real good i love listening to his music and talking. Sometimes I keep playing the beginning over and over... When Jimi laugh and said YEAH ! SMOOTH !
Not to mention he started playing at 15 years old. So 9 or 10 years of practicing(tirelessly) and his ability to express himself through his guitar is completely unmatched.
One of the greatest rock drummers ever, he only got better the longer he played with Jimi. They developed a feel for one another and I think they both realized how good they could become together. Jimi always knew he could rely on Mitch's pocket, no matter how far out either one of them pushed.

His technique, yes. Do you know what he's doing when he runs his forearm (actually his shirt sleeve) over the upper half of the fretboard for a quick second in between notes? He does it several times in this video, including in the intro.
Hi Lisa, cool to see others love Jimi in an era of "Swift-ness". There is something so real to that time period of Hendrix, no digital buffering and live fixes. I was doing a lot of touring in the 90's, for a living, and things were still real. Nowadays it is absolutely acceptable to have 50% of a "live show" originating of storage. Sad. In a "Red House" live recording by Jimi, he reaches into a wrong key, laughs, and figures it out. This type of musicianship has become lost. Jimi will always set the standard, and beyond.
Jimi's delivery of this is so transcendently great that it's easy to forget that Noel and Mitch were absolutely killing it behind him. An incredible power trio that just happened to have the greatest guitarist ever. Astonishing all around.
The story is well known. Both Mitch Mitchell and Aynsley Dunsbar auditioned, and Jimi couldn't decide which drummer to go with. A coinflip settled the matter. Noel Redding, who was a guitarist, had showed up in London seeking a role in The New Animals (the band that Chandler's former bandmate in The Animals was putting together). He was told that those auditions were done, but was invited to audition on bass for the Experience.@57highland
@@simontodd8195 Thank you. That's quite interesting. In my own mind, I had it simplified. I thought that Chas Chandler was pretty familiar with both Mitch and Noel and, having heard him, told Jimi, "I know two blokes who will be just right for you." But, of course, there had to be auditions. But it's slightly bizarre that a coin toss settled the drummer pick. I joke about the "coin toss" all the time in matters that are "too close to call." I never knew that something so historic had ridden on it. And the successful transition from guitar to bass by Noel, to win such a crucial gig, also is noteworthy.
@@tonysavarese7234 His rendition of Wild Thing was phenomenal, the audience had never seen anything like it, totally in shock, thank god I have it on DVD.
Can you imagine how that intro must have looked to theese people used too the everly brothers and whatnot.....Jimi chewing a gum at the same time .Pure shock for real. A prodigy being 24 at the time. Jimi you are loved and missed forever by many.
That really is a kicker. Watch the Monterey Pop Festival movie and realize what contemporary music was at that moment. Most of the audience had no idea what Jimi was about to do. Pete Townsend did, and that’s why he refused to go on stage after Hendrix. Even he didn’t know how Jimi would sacrifice something that he really loved at the end of Wild Thing…
Thank you @@chipsterb4946Sir, ill watch it. anything this man created, is a treassure for sure ...He was unpredictable to say the least is my understanding...got my whole kitchen full of hes images lol
“Dedicated to everybody here, with ❤’s and ears” ❤️ I Love Jimi!! Forever!! So utterly unpretentious, a musical genius, wonderful voice in addition to his guitar playing…oh my…peace my friends.
Yes, but there's another word in there: "____ kind of hearts and ears." It's always sounded to me like he says, "hearts, city kind of hearts and ears."
He took two hits of purple owsley before the show, 1000 micrograms each hit, the same acid that made Pete Townshend of The Who give up dropping acid. Do some research brother.
In April of 2024 it is impossible to accurately imagine what this would have looked and sounded like in June of '67. Jimi changed everything. RIP to the GOAT
Tonight is a blues and bourbon night for me….I am 72 years old and love listening to “ my” music. I forget how incredible, tremendous, awesome Jimi was. Thank you for sharing this.
I was born in '72 and I've loved Hendrix since I accidentally bought a cassette of the Monterrey concert recorded by Polydor in Italy when I was 15. I remember thinking, who the hell is this??
When Townshend and Clapton first saw him in a London blues club (so the story goes), Pete turned to Eric and said something like, "We can't fucking play, Eric." Even legends realize there are always greater ones. R.I.P, Jimi. We love and miss you dearly but are forever grateful for what you left in your meteoric life.
Don't get me wrong here. Hendrix is a sheer genius. His talent was beyond words, but when he is interpreting Dylan, he's at his absolute best. No slight to either, but Hendrix knew Dylan better than anyone. When Dylan heard Hendrix's version of his, All Along the Watchtower, he played it closer to Hendrix's way ever after and acknowledged that he preferred the Hendrix version. I love both. Great to be able to hear both.
90% of the people in the audience that night never even heard of the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Imagine how Jimi blew their minds. One year later he was headlining major rock festivals. Unheard of in the annals of rock. No musician rose to such stellar heights in such a short time.
When I was a teen in the early seventies there was a movie theatre in Greenwich Village that showed the flick A Film About Jimi Hendrix at midnights on the weekend. This was long before the internet and material such as this was considered "underground" and was very rare. We rode the subway into Manhattan (from Brooklyn) on several different weekends to see this flick.
Jimi was unique in every way. He really FELT the music, and expressed his feelings so perfectly through his guitar, and his voice and his whole body. Absolutely amazing. 💥🔥🥰
People. you are watching the greatest ever performance in terms of guitar, vocals, cover and overall showmanship. After a fan since 5 and now 44 years this is it after watching 100,000 of hours of music this is the point in history. As Jimi said, ' I want to live my life the way I want to'. Thank You Jimi!
Well I was there. In the very back of the crowd we climbed onto the roof of a stable to see very nicely see into the area. Jimi's my cousin. All the Loveless's are some percentage, from a 1/16 th to 100% Cherokee. Jimi was 1/2. Jimi didn't know it but he was related to many top level country musicians. Anyway Like a rolling Stone was the song that put Jimi over the top. The Crowd WENT WILD!
He is such an underrated singer. What can't he do? He can sing, he has charisma and stage presence, and he may be the greast guitarist of all time (and he has excellent fashion-sense, lol). He's the whole package.
Bob Dylan was Jimi Dylan musician,what a cross over,Jimi had so much peace in his heart that's why he will always be a legend,his playing was beyond incredible
Damn. Damn. Hendrix on fire on this Dylan piece. Just so much soul in to it. Kick ass still 2024. And many years to come. Hmm. I’m 73 now butt it’s like the first time ? Hmm
@@TheMcstevester well, you are wishing me dead! What a fine human being you are ! The pride of your species! The hero of mankind ! The role model for one and everyone !
jimi will always be my favourite artist. sometimes i go through phases where i don’t listen to him for month’s experimenting with different music but i always come back to him. the way his guitar wasn’t just an instrument but an extension of his soul. my GOAT.
Incomparable touch. No one gets that response from a guitar. And his voice is entirely independent of his playing. I was shocked when I realized that he was improvising all those Curtis Mayfield fills right on the beat while singing in soulful altered timing overtop. Like hearing two different musicians.
THE ULTIMATE! How blessed we were who lived though the Hendrix Years! The Ultimate Rock and Roll. The Jimi Hendrix Experience, indeed!!!! Oh, Yes! Listening to you we became experienced, those of us who HEARD you, we were not only experienced, but changed! Forever! Thank you for the re-birth, Jimi! We are experienced and without secrets to conceal and free!
This is amazing fucking footage! Clearly, Jimi was already a shooting star (London, 1966), but there were LOTS of shooting stars in that era and very few of them had professional production crews filming their performances! Obviously, TV productions like "Ready Steady Go" filmed 100s of performers in their studio, as did documentarians like D.A. Pennebaker who followed Dylan around England in 1965 & 1966. But, Dylan was Dylan! Hendrix, on the other hand, although a singular artist, hadn't released an album! Hiring a team to film a live perf. seems like a massive undertaking. It's not like pointing your iPhone - film requires lights, a giant camera, etc. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe hiring a film crew wasn't such an elaborate proposition then, but it sure seems that way now. I know everything that's ever happened is captured today on video, but back then on film? I'm not so sure. I feel fortunate to have this!!!
My husband Jimi, was named Jimmy after Jimmy Cagney, who he adored, but he renamed himself Jimi after Jimi Hendrix...and now our grandson is legally named Jimi💜🎵🎵🎵🎵
I was a teenager in the 90's but ive always been fascinated with the music of the 60's the Beatles, stones. Who, hendix, cream. Dylan.... Motown, folk-rock. Music was real back then..it was 100% about the music.
Good damn job 👍👍 cant believe I've never heard this!! My freaking jam, I'm in a fucked up part of my life right now, don't know if Jimmy's helping me kneel down farther, or picking me up some, but he's tha SHIT! Ain't nobody could, can, or ever will touch Jimmy's absolute KICKASSNESS! Preciate your work in finding the song, just heard Machine Gun for the first time too 💪 Never liked Hendrix more than I do now,
Jimi was also the original rapper, find sand castle made of sand. If you are still in a dark place in your life whether it’s music, or a friend please reach out to someone for advice. I have been enjoying Jimi Hendrix music since the mid 70s.
it used to be here... then nearly all Hendrix material was taken down, I think by one of the controlling family members, a woman, of the estate. Glad to see it back. Maybe she realized people resented it, & learned that he marketing these YT video provided was a better deal. Most fans, when it's affordable, want to own the CD or whatever format. I don't know... but it was here... then gone for years, & now it's back, thankfully.
Saw him (Band of Gypsies) at Fillmore east, New Years eve late show. Still a bright, shining light of inspiration, to me. He paid me a visit, shortly after his death.
Dude, this is his best performance we have on film now. He was so jazzed about doing Dylan for the crowd. All those super smooth fills while singing and chewing gum a the same time. Sounds amazing. The only thing rivaling this is the “Instrumental Jam” from Woodstock.
@@alangb2086 you obvioisly are not a musician, esoecially not a guitar player, not on a pro level. You can like whatever suits you, but the love he had for Dylan and that song shows through in every aspect of the performance. Musically, Voodoo Child/Machine Gun, and the instrumental jam from Woodstock are better, but the total performance and his passion for Dylan brought this up to number one. Ut was his most sincere performance.
@@5400bowen Well thank you for your kind reply, correct, I'm not a musician but a big fan of Jimi espessialy when he had Noel and Mitch behind him, his Red House (studio version) is my all time favourite but each to his own eh, love and peace to you.
@@alangb2086 we definitely agree on the best lineuo. Mitchell was a monster, and though Redding was a whiner, he did the job. Did you notice during "Like a Rolling Stone" Redding is over there giving him a tizzy fit...and after a couple minutes of it Hendrix says into the mic "Yes, I know I skipped a verse, don't worry". It's in the movie. I do that one myself, and I get the verses out of order sometimes too. Dylans lyrics, dang. You know it's about a debutant of Andy Warhol, and how he threw her in the trash when he was done with her. I always wondered what it meant...and always hated Warhol. Dylan and Hendrix and I agree on that.
@@5400bowen Poor Noel expected to be lead guitarist in the very beginning but soon realised he was no match, but I never knew Jimi directed that message to Noel, I thought it was to the audience. Didn't know that about Warhol and the debutant, horrible bastard he was as well. Once Jimi went his own way after splitting up with the Experience I started to lose interest, his early days were the best for me.
Jimi at the Monterey Pop Festival... Filmed by the immortal documentarian P.A. Pennebaker. Jimi's performance was epic and blew the crowd totally away - they had never 'experienced' anything like it. Check out the documentary. Fantastic! 👍
Was down in the village one afternoon trying to figure out how to be an authentic hippy and stopped into the Cafe Wha. It was a night spot and just me and one other person was in the audience that afternoon. A scraggly looking character along with an unimpressive looking drummer got on the stage. The guitarist started playing Hey Joe - at times with his teeth and behind his back and I knew I had just experienced something never seen before. Of course this was Hendrix just before he was truly discovered. What luck. This is a great version of a great song. Yay Jimmy.
Hey Joe was a ground breaking song. He made so many go "what the hell did I just hear". I think Hendrix was a big stepping stone from the initial Elvis rock and black blues sound to psychedelic rock of the late 1960s. I think Hendrix opened eyes and set the bar for the great creative albums of the Stones, Beatles, The Who, Cream and others in the late 1960s. Would they have gotten there without Hendrix? Probably, but Hendrix definitely pointed the way.
Can't agree wth that. To me, he was the greatest guitar player who could also sing well. It's hard to do either. But, I think Jimi did both. Distinctive voice. And, he basically created acid rock at a high technical level of proficiency. Obviously, it's a matter of opinion ... And, Dylan sang the original better because, hey, Edie was his girlfriend. You can tell Dylan felt it.
Still remember when I first heard Hendrix play this. It mid 1966, dropped a tab of Orange Sunshine, sipping on some chilled wine with a doob of Panama Red. Sitting between my speakers with the volume cranked up. Pure magic.
Orange sunshine/orange barrel was pure LSD 25. As someone who also got to do LSD back then you know that it and Hendrix are hand and glove. Hearing him on acid you got to experience his real genius, which you never will if you haven't. If you know you know. "Angel Eyes" from Axis Bold As Love is one of those where his genius shines. I believe he was tripping during this performance.
Lately I've been playing the shit out of a Bob Dylan CD and my mom's car. I've heard this song 100 times in a month. I have to say I love Jimi's version. Long live the king. 🤟🤘👑
Jimmy made more money for Bob Dylan and then he made for himself with this song. But no one will ever play it like 🎸Jimi Hendrix.
Probably right -- same with the obvious All Along the Watch Tower, but there is another which is so cool but with little attention -- Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window.
He also did Tears of rage on the anthology album
Ah, I bet you are thinking of "All Along the Watchtower". This version of "Like a Rolling Stone" was a not a big hit, as awesome as it is with fans. I can't see how it could have made as much royalties as the original which was played all over the radio at the time. To me the whole thing is cool, and both versions are important.

But, of course, there had to be auditions. But it's slightly bizarre that a coin toss settled the drummer pick. I joke about the "coin toss" all the time in matters that are "too close to call." I never knew that something so historic had ridden on it.
And the successful transition from guitar to bass by Noel, to win such a crucial gig, also is noteworthy.
Two of my favorites -- Jimi and Dylan.
Monterey Hendrix - one of the all time great live rock performances. He really had it all. This never fails to give me the chills.
Yeah, Jimi, burn that guitar.
Look at Mama Cass in shock.
@@tonysavarese7234 His rendition of Wild Thing was phenomenal, the audience had never seen anything like it, totally in shock, thank god I have it on DVD.
Can you imagine how that intro must have looked to theese people used too the everly brothers and whatnot.....Jimi chewing a gum at the same time .Pure shock for real. A prodigy being 24 at the time. Jimi you are loved and missed forever by many.
That really is a kicker. Watch the Monterey Pop Festival movie and realize what contemporary music was at that moment. Most of the audience had no idea what Jimi was about to do. Pete Townsend did, and that’s why he refused to go on stage after Hendrix. Even he didn’t know how Jimi would sacrifice something that he really loved at the end of Wild Thing…
Thank you @@chipsterb4946Sir, ill watch it. anything this man created, is a treassure for sure ...He was unpredictable to say the least is my understanding...got my whole kitchen full of hes images lol
@@chipsterb4946 Ill watch it thank you Sir
Hearing the brilliant mix of clean and fuzz drenched guitar sound and the way he picks out the harmonies changed my life.
“Dedicated to everybody here, with ❤’s and ears” ❤️
I Love Jimi!! Forever!!
So utterly unpretentious, a musical genius, wonderful voice in addition to his guitar playing…oh my…peace my friends.
❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, but there's another word in there: "____ kind of hearts and ears." It's always sounded to me like he says, "hearts, city kind of hearts and ears."
@@57highland any kind of hearts and minds. this was the 67' Monterey Pop Festival.
@@steveelder5306 Thanks for that!
O melhor guitarrista e cantor do mundo para sempre
The fact that Hendrix was tripping his brains out while performing this concert is mind blowing in itself!
How do you know he was tripping? Please tell me I want to know
He took two hits of purple owsley before the show, 1000 micrograms each hit, the same acid that made Pete Townshend of The Who give up dropping acid. Do some research brother.
Fan since the 70s, Jimi is sublime in this show, his playing crisp and his vocals clear . Pure beautiful HENDRIX . I miss this guy so much.
+1 .. True that. RIP Herr Jimi... Virtuoso musician!
I agree I miss him to
Better than most I’ve seen in videos
His feel is stellar. He swings behind the beat so far back and never loses the feel or his way. I’m pulled and then pushed.
Oh yes! You said it. I love the phrasing and the unique pauses, as you feel the music float and glide over to the next exquisite phrase or lick.
Well said❣️
In April of 2024 it is impossible to accurately imagine what this would have looked and sounded like in June of '67. Jimi changed everything. RIP to the GOAT
i always think of those young girls showing up to see the Monkees and being confronted with Hendrix as the opening act .....
LA Times said Hendrix arrived at Monterey a rumor and left a legend. So true❣️
@@cpro2088 Yup. One of my favorite quotes about Jimi. Cheers
Tonight is a blues and bourbon night for me….I am 72 years old and love listening to “ my” music. I forget how incredible, tremendous, awesome Jimi was. Thank you for sharing this.
Yes I know I miss a verse, don't worry,
esto provoca un temblor a nivel cerebral 🍻🍻
It’s single malt whiskey and blues for me but I am with you. Awesome!
So lucky to have been a teenager while this music while out.
I was born in '72 and I've loved Hendrix since I accidentally bought a cassette of the Monterrey concert recorded by Polydor in Italy when I was 15. I remember thinking, who the hell is this??
He made it look easy. The Tao of sound.
I think that's because it was easy for him, at least musically; the crazy side of genius.
When Townshend and Clapton first saw him in a London blues club (so the story goes), Pete turned to Eric and said something like, "We can't fucking play, Eric." Even legends realize there are always greater ones. R.I.P, Jimi. We love and miss you dearly but are forever grateful for what you left in your meteoric life.
Don't get me wrong here. Hendrix is a sheer genius. His talent was beyond words, but when he is interpreting Dylan, he's at his absolute best. No slight to either, but Hendrix knew Dylan better than anyone. When Dylan heard Hendrix's version of his, All Along the Watchtower, he played it closer to Hendrix's way ever after and acknowledged that he preferred the Hendrix version. I love both. Great to be able to hear both.
90% of the people in the audience that night never even heard of the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Imagine how Jimi blew their minds. One year later he was headlining major rock festivals. Unheard of in the annals of rock. No musician rose to such stellar heights in such a short time.
When I was a teen in the early seventies there was a movie theatre in Greenwich Village that showed the flick A Film About Jimi Hendrix at midnights on the weekend. This was long before the internet and material such as this was considered "underground" and was very rare. We rode the subway into Manhattan (from Brooklyn) on several different weekends to see this flick.
Jimi was unique in every way. He really FELT the music, and expressed his feelings so perfectly through his guitar, and his voice and his whole body. Absolutely amazing. 💥🔥🥰
My friend and I took 'Are You Experienced' to our 1967 6th grade music class.
We requested 'Fire' and she played it
I was 11 I was hip
Actually, it sounds like your teacher was hip! 💃
Coulda been me!
she stopped the song half way through@@skeller61
she was, if u know what I mean@@skeller61
C O O L !
People. you are watching the greatest ever performance in terms of guitar, vocals, cover and overall showmanship. After a fan since 5 and now 44 years this is it after watching 100,000 of hours of music this is the point in history. As Jimi said, ' I want to live my life the way I want to'. Thank You Jimi!
Nothing else to say other than to say that Jimi was a great rock and roller. Saw him at the LA Forum in 1970.
今まで 見たジミのなかで 1番好きかも
ありがとう😃
And I am 71, I remember when he started, absolutely genius
Same
Yup me too ..I'm 72 and wanted to play guitar even more then like that.. Hendrix was the one and only.
Hi Stan, same age. Same memories. Peace and love brother. From England 🏴.
I’m 71. Been worshiping the Electric Church since I was 14
Well I was there. In the very back of the crowd we climbed onto the roof of a stable to see very nicely see into the area. Jimi's my cousin. All the Loveless's are some percentage, from a 1/16 th to 100% Cherokee. Jimi was 1/2. Jimi didn't know it but he was related to many top level country musicians. Anyway Like a rolling Stone was the song that put Jimi over the top. The Crowd WENT WILD!
Its f… crazy how good everything sounds.
He is such an underrated singer. What can't he do? He can sing, he has charisma and stage presence, and he may be the greast guitarist of all time (and he has excellent fashion-sense, lol). He's the whole package.
Bob Dylan was Jimi Dylan musician,what a cross over,Jimi had so much peace in his heart that's why he will always be a legend,his playing was beyond incredible
Damn. Damn. Hendrix on fire on this Dylan piece. Just so much soul in to it. Kick ass still 2024. And many years to come. Hmm. I’m 73 now butt it’s like the first time ? Hmm
True honesty and beauty of the man in this performance
Jimi's guitar was linked to his Soul...
I sure miss the days when music was made by musicians...Long Live Jimi Hendrix!!
He is dead, as far as I know.

Yes not it's composers realizing their visions. How terrible. Sorry fanboy rock is dead and so is the guitar
If only he knew how much he meant and how much we miss him. 53 years on from his end and it still hits right in the guts. Bless you, friend.
gut
The rhythm guitar from the intro and first verse is unmatched to this day.
He totally understood the vibe of the song and nailed it.
Jimi, the number 1 rock guitarist!
jimi will always be my favourite artist. sometimes i go through phases where i don’t listen to him for month’s experimenting with different music but i always come back to him. the way his guitar wasn’t just an instrument but an extension of his soul. my GOAT.
Incomparable touch. No one gets that response from a guitar.
And his voice is entirely independent of his playing. I was shocked when I realized that he was improvising all those Curtis Mayfield fills right on the beat while singing in soulful altered timing overtop. Like hearing two different musicians.
Thanks for the high level learnins man.
I appreciate being taught more of things I feel but could never actually know.
THE ULTIMATE! How blessed we were who lived though the Hendrix Years! The Ultimate Rock and Roll. The Jimi Hendrix Experience, indeed!!!! Oh, Yes! Listening to you we became experienced, those of us who HEARD you, we were not only experienced, but changed! Forever! Thank you for the re-birth, Jimi! We are experienced and without secrets to conceal and free!
Jimi will always be known as the greatest guitarist of all time in my opinion!!🤘🔥🤘🎸🎵🎶
This is like watching a beautiful bird flying high amongst the breeze of existence.
He loved it.
"Dedicated to everybody with hearts and ears"...
Play on Jimi Hendrix. Hearts and ears wide open!!!! ❤👂❤️🔥💯🎸
Whenever I get depressed looking at the world today, I come here to have my spirit restored.
Same here ❤💯
I think this is in fact my favorite Jimi performance. There was just something in the way he owned it. Like when he said " everybody knows im here"
Jimi puts his whole soul into every word and note. Genius.
Jimi Hendrix forever : the best guitar man 🌐👍🐱🔊🔊🔊
@0:31 as the band kicks in and the guitar blossoms... that is a band that is locked in! Magical! :)
You can't take anything away from Hendrix, but pay attention to Mitch Mitchell, He's an Animal. What a Great drummer He was, very Underrated.
Absolutely! And I play guitar!....😄
Those that matter know all about Mitch Mitchell.
Where can i find these ratings?

Every time I see footage of him…HE BLOWS ME AWAY!
Amazing m8❤ boys from the Street's
🤚🏼 Same here ❤
This is amazing fucking footage! Clearly, Jimi was already a shooting star (London, 1966), but there were LOTS of shooting stars in that era and very few of them had professional production crews filming their performances!
Obviously, TV productions like "Ready Steady Go" filmed 100s of performers in their studio, as did documentarians like D.A. Pennebaker who followed Dylan around England in 1965 & 1966. But, Dylan was Dylan!
Hendrix, on the other hand, although a singular artist, hadn't released an album! Hiring a team to film a live perf. seems like a massive undertaking. It's not like pointing your iPhone - film requires lights, a giant camera, etc.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe hiring a film crew wasn't such an elaborate proposition then, but it sure seems that way now. I know everything that's ever happened is captured today on video, but back then on film? I'm not so sure.
I feel fortunate to have this!!!
Thanks for the great story.
His lyrics and music I tripped a lot to hendrix in the early 70is just after he died I can't forget this man R I P from me in England 😊
The best friend I never even met, thank you Jimi Hendrix
Me too
🔥💛
1967 Monterey Pop Festival. Stunning treatment of that Dylan tune.
My husband Jimi, was named Jimmy after Jimmy Cagney, who he adored, but he renamed himself Jimi after Jimi Hendrix...and now our grandson is legally named Jimi💜🎵🎵🎵🎵
OUTTA SIGHT !
🤘🤘🤘
No that's wrong his name was james cagney not.jimmy
I was a teenager in the 90's but ive always been fascinated with the music of the 60's the Beatles, stones. Who, hendix, cream. Dylan.... Motown, folk-rock. Music was real back then..it was 100% about the music.
Many of us do as a teenager from the '60s and we still do
Best version of this song for me. Great improvisation from beginning to end. For me, Jimi's time with the Experience was primo!
What's even better is a song called machine gun..the one where Jimmy's wareing white that give me the shivers
Thank you for uploading this. I searched the internet forever trying to find it, but nothing. So now it's here and it rocks!
I searched for years and here it is THANK YOU 👍
Good damn job 👍👍 cant believe I've never heard this!! My freaking jam, I'm in a fucked up part of my life right now, don't know if Jimmy's helping me kneel down farther, or picking me up some, but he's tha SHIT! Ain't nobody could, can, or ever will touch Jimmy's absolute KICKASSNESS! Preciate your work in finding the song, just heard Machine Gun for the first time too 💪 Never liked Hendrix more than I do now,
Jimi was also the original rapper, find sand castle made of sand. If you are still in a dark place in your life whether it’s music, or a friend please reach out to someone for advice. I have been enjoying Jimi Hendrix music since the mid 70s.
it used to be here... then nearly all Hendrix material was taken down, I think by one of the controlling family members, a woman, of the estate. Glad to see it back. Maybe she realized people resented it, & learned that he marketing these YT video provided was a better deal. Most fans, when it's affordable, want to own the CD or whatever format. I don't know... but it was here... then gone for years, & now it's back, thankfully.
The way this song should be sung. Hendrix has it all down. Great version
Saw him (Band of Gypsies) at Fillmore east, New Years eve late show. Still a bright, shining light of inspiration, to me. He paid me a visit, shortly after his death.
Lucky cat
Mitch Mitchell is an absolute monster on the drums man. Most underrated drummer in the history of time IMO.
Dude, this is his best performance we have on film now. He was so jazzed about doing Dylan for the crowd. All those super smooth fills while singing and chewing gum a the same time. Sounds amazing. The only thing rivaling this is the “Instrumental Jam” from Woodstock.
I would say 'his best performance we have on film now' would be his rendition of Wild Thing from the Monterey International Pop Festival🤔
@@alangb2086 you obvioisly are not a musician, esoecially not a guitar player, not on a pro level. You can like whatever suits you, but the love he had for Dylan and that song shows through in every aspect of the performance. Musically, Voodoo Child/Machine Gun, and the instrumental jam from Woodstock are better, but the total performance and his passion for Dylan brought this up to number one. Ut was his most sincere performance.
@@5400bowen Well thank you for your kind reply, correct, I'm not a musician but a big fan of Jimi espessialy when he had Noel and Mitch behind him, his Red House (studio version) is my all time favourite but each to his own eh, love and peace to you.
@@alangb2086 we definitely agree on the best lineuo. Mitchell was a monster, and though Redding was a whiner, he did the job. Did you notice during "Like a Rolling Stone" Redding is over there giving him a tizzy fit...and after a couple minutes of it Hendrix says into the mic "Yes, I know I skipped a verse, don't worry". It's in the movie. I do that one myself, and I get the verses out of order sometimes too. Dylans lyrics, dang. You know it's about a debutant of Andy Warhol, and how he threw her in the trash when he was done with her. I always wondered what it meant...and always hated Warhol. Dylan and Hendrix and I agree on that.
@@5400bowen Poor Noel expected to be lead guitarist in the very beginning but soon realised he was no match, but I never knew Jimi directed that message to Noel, I thought it was to the audience. Didn't know that about Warhol and the debutant, horrible bastard he was as well. Once Jimi went his own way after splitting up with the Experience I started to lose interest, his early days were the best for me.
Jimi at the Monterey Pop Festival...
Filmed by the immortal documentarian P.A. Pennebaker.
Jimi's performance was epic and blew the crowd totally away - they had never 'experienced' anything like it.
Check out the documentary. Fantastic! 👍
5:18 To Noel Redding, “Yes, I know I missed a verse, don’t worry “…. He was just the coolest ever.
@Tolbiny Sly Stone agrees. He knew and played with Jimi. He said even the way Jimi sat was "cool."
Was down in the village one afternoon trying to figure out how to be an authentic hippy and stopped into the Cafe Wha. It was a night spot and just me and one other person was in the audience that afternoon. A scraggly looking character along with an unimpressive looking drummer got on the stage. The guitarist started playing Hey Joe - at times with his teeth and behind his back and I knew I had just experienced something never seen before. Of course this was Hendrix just before he was truly discovered. What luck. This is a great version of a great song. Yay Jimmy.
Hey Joe was a ground breaking song. He made so many go "what the hell did I just hear". I think Hendrix was a big stepping stone from the initial Elvis rock and black blues sound to psychedelic rock of the late 1960s. I think Hendrix opened eyes and set the bar for the great creative albums of the Stones, Beatles, The Who, Cream and others in the late 1960s. Would they have gotten there without Hendrix? Probably, but Hendrix definitely pointed the way.
Possibly the greatest musical experience you could ever have. Wow!!!
✨did he play other songs, that you remember?
I love that intro……as much today, as when I heard it the first time. Back in the early 70ies.
I am 65 today…….
The template for the expression “ a force of nature”= Hendrix at Monterey. Pure magic.
What a lovely, lovely performance.
A supremely gifted artist and a turning point in time.
He was happy on stage in his element. Just a gift.
We're so blessed that Jimi Hendrix was filmed❣️🙌✌️🎸🎵
Very
He really brings the cool factor to the song.
Jimi knew he wasn't great singer but he was inspired by the way Dylan did his thing.
Not a great singer but obviously good enough.
Can't agree wth that. To me, he was the greatest guitar player who could also sing well. It's hard to do either. But, I think Jimi did both. Distinctive voice. And, he basically created acid rock at a high technical level of proficiency. Obviously, it's a matter of opinion ... And, Dylan sang the original better because, hey, Edie was his girlfriend. You can tell Dylan felt it.
Loved his voice! I thought he was a great singer. If he wasn’t the greatest guitar player ever and just sang the songs I would still love him!!
@@andrewcowin3815to each their own but i think he is a great singer and songwriter aswell,
He was a great singer. He had a great rock voice and was obviously an amazing showman. Just my opinion. He had it all.
I saw Jimi in 1968 in of all places Vancouver B.C.👏🏾👏🏾👵🏾
One of his best live performances.🎸🎵
I think it's because he lived this tune!
Thank you for posting this!! Hard enough to find the song let alone the footage to go along with it!
I Double That Thanks, I looked all over for this about 50 years ago till I found it on the live at Monterey album.
"Yes, I know I missed a verse...don't worry" LOL Classic Jimi. Just effortless and magical. Who could play better?
My 7 year old grandson and this song got me to pick my guitar back up . What blessing .
Jimmy covering Bob: what a wonderful time in music !
Incredible guitar licks!!! Even Bob Dylan loved hearing Hendix cover his songs.
My dad talked about those best players and singers. I grew before knowing them.
Still remember when I first heard Hendrix play this. It mid 1966, dropped a tab of Orange Sunshine, sipping on some chilled wine with a doob of Panama Red. Sitting between my speakers with the volume cranked up. Pure magic.
Contractor that's a cool story rock in roll brother
Orange sunshine/orange barrel was pure LSD 25. As someone who also got to do LSD back then you know that it and Hendrix are hand and glove. Hearing him on acid you got to experience his real genius, which you never will if you haven't. If you know you know. "Angel Eyes" from Axis Bold As Love is one of those where his genius shines. I believe he was tripping during this performance.
Lately I've been playing the shit out of a Bob Dylan CD and my mom's car. I've heard this song 100 times in a month. I have to say I love Jimi's version. Long live the king. 🤟🤘👑
