    Purple haze all in my brain
    Lately things, they don't seem the same
    Acting funny, but I don't know why
    'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

      Yeah at first i do not appreciate him because of his chord E7#9 that sounds abnormal for me at the beginning and his style that is noisy. But when i became a music major and understand every musicians i already understand hendrix's style and is wild. Turned out to be one of my influences in guitar as a musician he is very important and Bach of the electric guitar.

      Was actually having a bad trip on mushrooms one time when Voodoo Child came on. It took me to another universe, and I realized exactly what you are saying here, that Hendrix is not dead, because he is profoundly impacting my consciousness and communicating with me in real time through his recorded music. It's like he was there in the room, in my head, as real as any person. The experience was much more of an intuitive realization that cannot be captured in words. I just went around telling people Jimi Hendrix had taught me how to achieve immortality. The rest of my trip was a good one.

      @@liru6869 Lol. Well psychedelics are definitely not for everyone. And I wouldn't recommend using them as a party drug. Research has shown that when used in a structured environment with a experienced shaman they can have great therapeutic properties. Many cultures have used them ceremonially and therapeutically for millennia. Personally, I've only used psychedelics twice and not again for the past 5 years. Both times have triggered anxiety and for me it's not worth it. They're not toys. Though, I am extremely grateful for the positive experience and insights that I did have while under the influence and can say I'm a better and deeper person for it.

      +blackdragonthebad Depending on your reasons. I've seen a lot of people who say they wish they were born in the thirties or twenties because life was so much nicer and simpler back then. I'm sure those people would have loved to live through the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, and World War II. Most of them imagine it would be just like the Great Gatsby, but at that time very few people were that rich.
      Then you get people who say they wish they were born in a different time because, "music was good back then". This I find ridiculous because there has always been good music, and there has always been shitty music. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. There is still amazing music today, just like there was shitty music in the '60s. As a matter of fact, there were people in the '60s who though The Beatles had ruined music, and wished they could go back to, "the Golden age of music".
      Lastly, wishing to be born in a different time is a waste of time, because for one thing, the grass is always greener on the other side, and of course, you will never be able to be born in another time. Getting upset about it is a waste of brainpower.

      Mitch was Jimi's perfect drummer. His Jazz influenced free style works so well within the 'power trio'. Buddy Miles is a great drummer, but he was all wrong for what Jimi was doing. Mitch is a very overlooked musician. Personally I think this line up was the best that Jimi had. I was never a fan of Noel Redding's playing. Billy Cox's playing was exactly what Jimi needed. Pity he wasn't there from the beginning.

      As a high kid in the mid 80s, and as someone who learned to play and to appreciate the guitar, metal (music) wasn't that bad; it's the imaginary dark culture and it's the unintelligible lyrics that I wasn't into. Some of the most talented guitarists went into heavy metal or came out of that sub-culture. Most heavy metal music were terrible, just like most non-heavy metal music. But, again, some of the guitar solos --- some Malmsteen speed; others average speed ---- created for heavy metal have been sublime...

      Very likely she had the dose of those pills hightenend by her doctor. Probably without Jimi knowing about that, coming home from a performance.

I remember wishing I wasn't quite so stoned as I was wanting to remember every note. I have always told people I thought he played really good that night and was "on". Now that I've heard that night again I know I was right and wasn't just being impressed because it was him. I also went to the Atlanta Pop Festival the previous year where I saw Led Zepplin for the first time and I didn't even know who they were till they came on stage. I sure knew after that.

      Thanks but don't think so negatively..Its easy to look at today's pop scene and thinks nothing is happening in music but I think that would be a mistake. Every generation has musicians that are groundbreaking one of a kind. I never got to see Mozart or Bach. The difference is you have to sort thru all the noise to find the types that are innovative and brilliant. It doesn't have to just be in the rock world either..music is constantly morphing and there will always be some new genius come along that is special..You may have to search a little harder and they may not have millions of fans but they are out there. Stay healthy, keep learning and 65 can be the best time of life..I'm having quite a great time of it myself. Having said all that it was cool seeing Jimi and Janis Joplin 2 times and the Doors to mention just a few..

Unused to think that immigrating Moon, even for a five minute drumming session , would fail due to inability to stand it phisically but some time down the road I got to learn it was because I was (and seems like none else) not wired like him.

I've known kids for 30 years that can slide up and down a guitar neck, but like Jim, they could play the same in the garage or if they were in front of 300,000. Bottom line, ole Jim never impressed me.

    And yet even though it wasn't designed for such extreme divebombs it's amazing how Hendrix always managed to stay in tune...For the most part...
    He was a genius who did the best he could with the kind of gear he had back then and pushed the limits of music and the guitar so far ahead...
    Of course there were many other great guitar players back then...But no matter how great they were they were still guitar players...

    Whenever I watch other great guitarists perform live, I notice how they kind of tense up and really focus on what they're playing and try not to make mistakes. But whenever i watch Jimi, I just see him play guitar, and that's what makes him so great. It's like he doesn't care what happens during the performance as long as it sounds good. He doesn't focus to hard on playing, he just goes with the flow. And if there are any mistakes, he just blends them in with the song. Jimi is a true master of the guitar who died way to young.

      I was there approximately 20 feet from the stage and I didn't do any drugs. I saw naked people. I saw guys peeing feet away from me on the fence. I saw all kinds of things including a Hell's Angel. It was incredible holiday with singing from greats day and night. I saw my neighbor, Bob, and he drove us home to Atlanta tripping on acid (aka LSD) which he tried to get me to take as the tab was purple and purple was my favorite color but as I neared taking the tab out of someone's hand something told me not to do it. I was in this era and avoided drugs.

      @@pcky6646 but I didn't do drugs and saw the repercussions of drugs from others. Some drugs are really bad and mess with people's minds and they're never the same as they were before the drugs. Syd Barrett of "Pink Floyd" did, apparently, too much acid (aka LSD) in his hey day. Look at the show taxi and Jim who tried mj and went from brilliant to barely functioning (I know that isn't a true story). Heroin has done so much damage to people and families and friends. Meth. has ruined people's teeth, burned their brains out, and they can do some pretty good damage on people and property. It's said that the Rolling Stones did heroin and I don't know if that's true or not but they're still around playing music which is great. Aerosmith's Steven Tyler had problems with drugs and is clean and healthy again. His mind seems sharp and he's so good as an entertainer. What say you?

    I was there in 1970 and Hendrix played late on the 4th of July and gave one of the great performances of his career. This was the second time I saw him play and there are great musicians still today, so don't get bored or broken spirited. Still those were the greatest times for me and the hippies were wonderful. We could have shared a nation and a world of brothers and sisters in one free rainbow unity, dispensed with money and wars, and gotten on with green solar and wind power for each and everyone ...and we still can do it. Love to you all.

The additional footage was stored in a barn. That and it's been remixed by EddiE Kramer. Alan Douglas also added crowd noises where there weren't any in the first release along with editing footage and camera angles. I'm done now, "goodnight, and thank you very much"!

I have never felt that way with Jim I Hendrix .listening to Howard stern radio show,one morning,he said that he doesn’t know how he got caught up with it. The difference between Led Zeppelin and Hendrix is like night and .i have stopped listening to Led Zeppelin a long time ago, too depressing.
