Jimi Hendrix: London flat opens as museum
Вставка

- The flat where Jimi Hendrix stayed in the 1960's has had a major restoration project - and it's now open to the public. We've been inside the Mayfair house which has been turned into an exact replica of the way it looked in 1969.
"The best guitar player sitting on this chair"...after decades,Jimi doesn't cease on amazing me...this is a lesson of life.The figure of Hendrix gets bigger and bigger as time goes by.He is a mistery,an enigmatic human being and a legacy to humanity.What a pity he died young...
This video doesn't show much of the flat, it's mostly Etchingham talking, but I visited the place last year and I highly recommend it. They've recreated the original in such good detail that when you walk in you think that Jimi has just popped out for a little while and will be returning soon.
Saw Jimi all 3 times he came to San Diego the last time in July or August of 1970 I jumped on the stage in the heat of a song he stepped toward me I had my hand stretched and he shook it and said something to me but I could not hear him that was the greatest experience of my life I was just 17years. Old
Wow, what an experience and memory you had the chance to live it
Hmm, when the title mentions his apartment you would think that you would actually see the apartment.
No it's just a re-creation. Initially I thought it was his real apartment.

@@davidmathews2599 it is his real flat they remodeled it the way he lived in and used his friend in the interview as the source as per the interview
They're in it, and a few pictures, there's an interview at the apartment somewhere, its at "The Mayfair Apartment"
Always have loved Jimi Marshall Hendrix.
No one like him.
R.I.P. Jimi .... you were taken from us far too early.
This is a cool piece of history.
? how
Thanks Kathy. Jimi will always be one the
“ Immortals” of the music world.
John-Philadelphia
thank you so much Kathy, this is such a nice interview. You sound like a lovely woman, and I'm not surprised that Jimi liked you. He was such a humble, kind, human being from what I sense in his interviews.
This is amazing that the flat is now back to just how it once was when he lived there, and that we can visit it.
I did go to the Handel museum in the past, and the staff there is extremely nice & respectful of both musicians equally.
Nanou197373 Ok.
Kathy is fantastic calm beautiful and such a Vibe
Wonderful interview. Jimi always sounds like such a humble shy grounded person. The world misses him.
Very cool. Cant wait to see it. Kathy still looking amazing.
Prince got his wardrobe from jimi
Prince took a lot from Jimi.
Just got back from London. Saw his bedroom. Only original thing is the oval mirror above the mantelpiece. Curator told me, everything else has been replicated from photos and with the help of Ms. Etchingham.
Kathy seems like a sweet person. Thanks for uploading this!
Cathy. You are awesome.
The one and only Jimi Hendrix he’s got to be jamming uptown somewhere having a good time with the rest of the gang that left us for now.
Jimi was an American born and bred but his spiritual home was London which readily accepted him and were he became the superstar he couldn't have done in his homeland. And had he lived , 45 years in he'd still be living in London.
❤
The UK often treated Black American performers better than the U.S. did.
Lemmy from Motörhead use to be a roadie for Hendrix. I've always been intrigued by Jimi Hendrix, I'm a bassist but I always dug his playing style & the bass playing was so over looked. Hendrix was such a humble man.
What an absolutely beautiful video ❤️ love love love the whole thing ❤️
There's gotta be some hash stashed somewhere...
I would love to go into his REAL house like in a time machine and get his stash of everything!
Maybe some acid too
Leave it as is.
Lol
There was, but now it's all cashed.
I don't think one person can be the greatest guitarist because the guitar is such a diverse instrument, with steel/nylon string acoustics, hollow/solid bodied electrics, accompanying all genres of music, strumming, hybrid/finger picking, and all the greatest players are brilliant in their field, from Djanjo, Segovia, B. B. King, Merle Travis, Atkins, Scotty Moore, James Burton, Tommy Tedesco, Jerry Reed, Mark Kopfler, Eric Clapton and the list goes on, but Jimi was great no doubt!
Jimi was the man!!
Worth a visit to jimmies flat and Handels house. You enter the flat through a knocked down wall in Handels house. Two legends in different eras. It was ten pound entry and if you take your time you can spend a pleasant hour there. Also in a lovely part of London the Mayfair area near Bond st tube station.
lol hey man thats not his flat
He hosted many parties there. A lot were documented on tape. Eventually his girlfriend kicked him out and he later died in a hotel near by.
Jimi left Brook St to tour America in March 69. And then he bought his own very luxurious apartment in New York befitting his rock star status, in the October of that year, and built Electric Ladyland Studios nearby. Cathy didnt kick him out to die!!
She still in love with jimi
😎👍👍👍Kathy just for you, he went on to things much bigger. Don't count him out quite yet. I'm thinking the last couple of days before he left, he had already begun to Glow. The last time I saw him he had to turn on something inside my head so I could see him, he was so bright my eyes didn't even work there, he turn on some kind of different kind of sight. For all of you still with hearts; The Highway Child❤❤❤
BTW, Kathy is an excellent lady. Absolutely not the sycophantic wannabe type. She is modest and full of good.
A true Muse
If they had stayed together he might very well still be here, level headed woman
You have to enter through the Handel Museum next door to get to Jimmys flat.Handel dudes sell all the Jimmy souvenirs .
So So NATURAL,Thanks MASTER ❤❤❤❤😊
She still looks good.
she looks great!
Very educational and adventurous.
I visit that flat and have played a strat in Jimi house,,
Tommaso Valenzano that's dope! Hope you brought your iPhone!
He was cool
He was the definition of cool.
Wow this is epic I wish I could go see this my dad loved jimi hendrix
Esto es extraordinario Jimi Hendrix el mejor guitarrista de todos los tiempos hasta la fecha Jimi inmortalizado con su musica Jimi Hendrix por siempre
Of course he was aware that he was doing things that nobody else had done! How could he not be aware of that?
Kathy still looks good.
That's great ...
I'm sure it was a funky places
I love u Jimi!!!!!!!!!!
I think she meant to say that Jimi said of his modesty 'I am the greatest guitarist sitting in this chair'. Lovely interviewer and interviewee though.
I have it on a VHS tape were he was told he was the greatest but he gave that credit to Rory Gallagher which eagle rock took off most of his music on UA-cam and iTunes but Rory gave him the credit for making new chords and sounds on the guitar
The Rory quote is a myth, Jimi never said it.
Very good!
If it's the same flat I'm thinking of, it was also occupied by John Lennon and Ringo Starr (not at the same time). Ringo owned it for a while.
nice to pay homage to jimi nothing else matters
I'd live there! How could someone see the care Jimi took with his fashion and not expect him to decorate his apartment well?
Lets just get facts straight here people Jimi Hendrix would be alive today if his management had given him time off , the reason he was taking so many sleeping pills was because he did not ever get time to settle he was always being moved around from tour to tour in the 1970 he performed over 200 different concerts in 1 year and had to go from Hawaii to Sweden to Isle of Wight to Germany to Atlanta USA etc etc also the only reason Eric Clapton is still alive today is he did the clever thing he quit touring and performing and locked himself away for 2 years after Jimi died so he could get off Heroin same is true for Jimmy Page if he had not quit Heroin in the 80,s he would be gone too
Hendrix didn't do heroin.......idiot
You my great valuable points which obviously I've replied to late 2 years ago to be honest I believe that he was killed due to his management uni was being ripped off and it's very strange how his friend died not long after him because she was going to expose the person who murdered him black people are not allowed to be independent or keep their royalties always have to be in control and in that industry you're more famous dead than Alive so because Jimmy was going to expose and get him removed it was better that he was dead so that he could get most of his royalties
Maybe being force-fed a litre of red wine down his throat to the point it entered his lungs might've contributed too?
@@phillipskelly4705 jimmy done every thing mate
R.I.P. Jimi Hendrix
Yes. i have video end pic with leon Hendrix in that flat.
Jimi only lived at 23 Brooke Street for a total of 38 days.
How did you come up with that?
what of bed throw is that ?
Rip jimmy Hendrix
REALLY didn't show MUCH of the flat but rather of snippets of his shows...
one of those guitars Jimi set ablaze and broke it up was later bought by Frank Zappa , Frank's son Dweezil found it under a staircase and had it rebuilt
That's where he had that interview
And we need to invite USCHI OBERMEIER ...he loved her a lot....
lol I saw that interview
There's no shame in getting beat up by Jimi Hendrix, Kathy. Take it as a badge of honor.
Hendrix lived a tortured life. This just makes me sad.
Me too. No one would help him.
Did Jimi play his electric Stratocaster in this apartment while plugged into an amp here ?
From what I've read he used to have people come over to jam, including drums, so from time to time he was plugged in and it got pretty loud, but it was late and his neighbors were the Handel museum which was closed and a bar downstairs which didn't care. The reason he had to move here was that where he lived before, the neighbors complained about the noise.
More often he jammed on an acoustic.
People this was no Eric Gales. He was magic. The real thing.
betcha that strat was still in tune for most of that thrashing.... gibson woulda exploded after one slam
She know they murdered him look at her face
Peter Grahame you’re a dumbass if you really believe that
She thinks Monika Dannermann drugged him. I do too.
Read her book to see what she thinks, and it's not murder
When he came over she indicates an interesting scenario that is telling. When he came over no one asked for his auto graph or picture ... but they did look... White people were not wanting to be intimidated back then is a starting point... as to why someone so world famous get that kind of reception... i remember watching the isle of wight concert.. fucking badass and been stoned and trying to pull shapes without falling over and air guitar... sore knees the next day.. a A UP! theres always one dude that wants to bring politics into it though
Was that the flat that Jimi died in?
I would stay there... and i would cry... cry cry cry all over the place...
I noticed the Epiphone Texan laid on the bed, it dosen't look like a guitar that had been around 50 years old...... isn't Epiphone stopped making these models? Or Epiphone really remake this guitar just for displaying, lol
Update: I finally got a chance to visit the museum 1 month ago , and I finally got to see the guitar laying on the bed, it was Epiphone EL-00, but they somehow changed the fretboard inlay from dot inlays to the Parallelogram inlays, just to represent the model (1951 Epiphone FT-79 Texan) that Jimi used to composed many of his songs, which also displayed in the flat, too.
It was a great experience, the flat is not very big, tho.
Dai Young
Tarantino's enemy
If Jimi had realized what a catch Kathy was and settled down with her, he would have lived.
Are you kidding, most Rockers are with much younger women. If he'd been alive today.
Former manager confessed to a roadie that he assassinated Jimi
Nonsense he made it up to sell a book
Looked a bit too clean and tidy to me. But still how I imagine it. R.I.P. Jimi Hendrix.
He was actually kind of fastidious about where he lived. It was a holdover from his military days.
The discrimination he faced was due to racial biases, not because he was a rock star. However, he succeeded beyond his imagination despite these setbacks.
Voodoo Child
Management pressures and a heavy tour schedule done him in, they were idiots by double and triple booking him and he would have to double back where he just was, stupid, period.....
Xoxoxo
Mary duhningham could possibly have saved Jimmy if she checked on him and didn't freak out like an idiot, period.....🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
how did he died ?
Smoke on the water bruh
+rebstorm19
+Jules Gaire He fell asleep on his back after drinking some wine and started vomiting while asleep and eventually choked on his own vomit.
Also, while under the influence of sleeping pills.
killed by CIA/FBI/Mafia, maybe his Manager Mike Jeffry who had ties to all of the organisations..check out the documentary about his last 24hours
anyone else catch Kathy's necklace.......hmm
100%
It says it all...
Kathy kinda THIK yall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's see what you look like when you're 70 years old.
He sure did like blondies
I'm pretty sure he liked all hair colors. He wanted someone who like him as a person not for his fame.
not that he didn’t care he got no money from his record deal- his managers stole it all and now his estate is just a milking pot for them- disgusting
His manager knew Jimi was going to leave him so he took out a $2 million life insurance policy on him. (That was a lot of money then. In 1970 in the U.S. the average home cost $24,000.) Sounds like motive.
That beautifull lady was the one and only who had a real deep connection with Hendrix until the end , not like the last witch "Dannemann" who i truly believe , was an accomplice of his murder ...
She's cool. No wonder Hendrix liked her. The english accent alone is attractive. Lucky woman.
DEATH DOESN'T NEED PSYCHDRUGS, by the way....just a billion dollar apology for having caused it ....KISSING THE SKY for decades after all gets boring...
I though Hendrix had a son?
bruh
Yes, he did. Apparently he looks very much like him.
As well as a daughter who would have inherited if he had got round to doing a blood test he was due to take
oh wow that's where he took his skid marked pants off-so amazing.
my bedroom is a mausoleum!nothing has happened there since the romans invaded brittanica!
Hope,they'll fly Jimmy in safe from the US and give him back this flat a n d pay for it (he has n o access to his trust....like all of the disappeared ones...)
mi6 killed him
You can tell she's lying about Clarridges...Lol such a liar!
Jimi was murdered in London. My guess is he's probably reincarnated again already. I wonder who his now, if he has..
Morgan Freeman.He' s.
terrible choice in a reporter
When you grow up please dont become pasty.
Leo Fender did not like what Jimi did at Monterey to one of his creations. How would you feel if you spent many hours creating a beautiful guitar with your love and someone smashed it on stage and set it on fire? So childish, like the infantile WHO. Jimi later wanted people to listen to his music. He no longer liked putting on that wild stage act and singing Foxey Lady. Jimi moved on to far better material.
You realize there's a good possibility this girl killed Jimi Hendrix
She wasn't even in the same apartment at the time.
What would have been in it for her? It was probably some goons on behalf of his manager who was beneficiary of the $2 million life insurance policy.
