I saw Jimi Hendrix in 1967 he was opening for The Monkees ! I also have most of his albums which is seven and 21 CD's which are live concerts mostly ! We still listen to him daily ✌🤘
I was raised in Ayrshire Scotland 🏴. In '67 my cousin bought me a copy of the Are You Experienced? record for my Christmas 🎄☃️🎄 It was "Red House" that was "it" for me. That track made me want to play guitar. That same cousin talked my mum and dad into letting me tag along with them to the Isle of Wight in 1970. My parents had immigraned to the USA (via Canada) after the war and by 1970 had been able to purchase a home. Since I was changing School anyway, they decided to bring me to live full time in their new hometown of Seattle. I only mentioned that because at the Isle of Wight in 1970 Emerson, Lake & Palmer played their 1st or 2nd ever public performance. Oh yeah some guy from Seattle played guitar, too 😊. On my father's birthday, less than a fortnight after I was settled in to my new home in Seattle, we got the news that Jimi was gone. For myself, 18 September 1970 will forever be "the day the music died".
One of my favorite solos of all times! I love the thought of him tracking the solo over the backing tracks which are then backwards. It's awesome to try to imitate this on guitar, notes fade in yet end sharply. Dangerous volume levels required!
A band mate of mine got his hands on this album the day it dropped. He played it for me and it was so different from anything we had ever heard. We got tickets to see him not too long after that at the Bushnell Auditorium in Hartford Ct. Amazing show. It goes without saying that he was a true innovator. He used gimmicks early on like setting his guitar on fire, smashing gear, playing behind his back and with his teeth., He slowly got away from that and later felt comfortable just playing and that’s when he did his best stuff. Check out his live performance from Atlanta Georgia. On top of his game.
I had the privilege of seeing Jimi Hendrex live in St. Paul about 5 months after Woodstock and 7 months before his death. I was 16 years old!!!! I wound up sitting 6 rows from him when he asked all of us in the crowd to come closer to the stage!!!
Pure psychedelic rock. This was the one that got me I had that album. Best stoner song…. Until Pink Floyd’s Echoes. Makes me get a “contact high” just listening to it again! 😁✌️✌️. Only criticism is that I wish I were twice/ three as long. Just hang in that great head space with Jimi’s guitar for awhile.
I have always said the same thing. I never concern myself with who is the best guitarist. Musician or songwriter. Chuck Berry, Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Steve. Vai, Eddie Van Halen were all innovative and influential. The only best ever was a band, the Beatles.
This song did feature the early use of backwards guitar loops. But, as always, The Beatles did it first, on the album Revolver, released in 1966 (Are You Experienced came out in 1967). A taste of the technique is sprinkled throughout "I'm Only Sleeping". But backwards guitar makes up a major portion of the soundscape of "Tomorrow Never Knows". Not to take anything away from Jimmy or this fantastic song. He took the technique and ran with it, experimenting with it throughout his discography.
One of my favorite Jimi songs, although there are many, many great songs. Keep up with Jimi, 'All Along the Watchtower', 'Little Wing', 'Castles Made of Sand', 'Voodoo Child' etc.
Love this tune. Reminds me of head shops in the late '60s that had those funky purple lights and burning incense. Little Wing is also a brilliant song .
The backward guitar parts are not accidental. Jimi actually played what the backward part would sound like for his producer to show what he was going for. He would play the part forward and then backward.
One thing to remember is this came out during the early years of sterophonic albums, consumer stereo and stereo headphones. So many of these albums were recorded to listen on headphones to fully experience the audio effects.
Yes! You can only imagine the impact this song and album had, it changed how guitar was played. He was simply the best ever, there's no debating that, his influence dwarfs anyone else, Wiki him and go to the influence section, it will blow your mind. Do Manic Depression from the same album, another all time banger! Enjoy. 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎶🔥
Jimi recorded his backward guitar solo in his hotel room and then took it to the studio where the engineer inserted it into the piece. According to the engineer and others the parts Jimi recorded backwards were so precise that they laid right into the spaces perfectly. Jimi was a true genius. ❤🙏😊
Jimi played an incredible live version (with a completely wild feedback intro) at Winterland in '68. Also Eric Johnson plays a nice cover including the backward solo.
Watch any of the videos on the recording of The Beatles Tomorrow Never Knows, which was recorded in April of 1966, released august 66 almost a year before are you experienced. The Beatles had all been given tape recorders and were encouraged to experiment with making sounds with them. Paul figured out if you disabled the erase head on the recorder you could tape over the same loop several times saturating the sounds recorded on that loop...and by playing those tapes backwards of slower or faster you could create new sounds.....on tomorrow never knows the "seagull" sound is actually a tape of paul laughing sped up. They made a bunch of loops of a melotron, a sitar, an orchestral chord, paul laughing and a guitar solo, and changed the speeds of them or played them in reverse, then they took those loops and played all of them continuously by playing the loop continuously on a multitrack machine, and used sliders to raise the volume to bring them sounds in and then cut it off totally and intermittently add the sounds at different times in the song, just by raising the volume sliders up for a few seconds at a time, before cutting them off again. Ringos drums were heavily compressed and they stuffed the base drum with clothing to mute it to get the special drum sound...and Johns vocals in part were played through a rotating leslie speaker cabinet to get his vocal effect. The Beatles were the originals when it came to experimenting and coming up with new sounds and sound effects.......
Yes, I am. Not necessarily stoned, but ah, beautiful. The Axis Bold as Love album will prepare you for the FULL JiMI experience of Electric Ladyland album. There is so much more to explore. He gave us so much in the short time we had him. I don’t play the ‘what if’ game. There is no answer and there is no point. Enjoy what is given.
The Beatles did it first, I believe, with their 1966 song Rain ( backward loop) But yeah, this album was unabashedly psychedelic. No way to explain how this music hits when you’re stoned unless you’ve “experienced” it. 😉✌️
The greatest musical innovator ever. He didn't just create new musical forms, he opened a portal to another dimension. Everything since is derivative. This was '67! He spread himself too thin at times but got it back together with Band of Gypsys and his tour de force "Machine Gun", the most intense antiwar song (and guitar solo!) ever performed. He was just getting warmed up and then he moved on. What might have been
Back in the 60's, The Beatles, along with a tonne of other huge acts from that time (like Clapton, The Who, The Stones etc. would go to the clubs to see other acts. There was one club they all used to go to frequently (I can't remember the name of it). One night, Jimi Hendrix and his band came out to perform. No one knew who he was. In the audience, The Beatles, Clapton and The Stones looked on as Jimi opened up. Clapton was the guitar god at the time, but as soon a Jimi started playing, everyone just stopped. Their jaws dropped as they tried to process what thew were seeing. Jimi was like nothing they'd ever seen before. He was in a completely different realm. The other performers looked over at Clapton, and Clapton just stood there in shock.... like his crown was just ripped away from him. Jimi Hendrix became alot of the top musicians favorite guitarist after that. He was above all the rest.
Both Paul and George Harrison have said that even for them, Jimi Hendrix revamped their own concept of the role electric guitar 🎸 would be seen forever more. Listen to rock guitar before 1967 and then listen to the guitar on pretty much anything after 1967. You're going to notice the difference between the two almost immediately, once you know what you're listening for. What changed? THAT RECORD!! We'd never heard anything like that coming from from a guitar, ever. Jimi Hendrix is the most important, most influential guitar player who has ever lived. Second only to Louis Armstrong as the most important musician in the history of American music. What Jimi Hendrix did for the guitar, Satchmo did for the music itself a half a century earlier. These two titans of American music are the giants upon whose shoulders all others stand so that they might see farther. Robert Johnson, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Sidney Bechet, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and all the rest including Jimi himself, owe a debt of gratitude to "little Louis". A fatherless waif from a neighborhood in New Orleans that was so rough, so violent that it was actually known as "the battlefield" that would grow up to bring Jazz and Blues to the world 🌎. "Pops" was the World's Ambassador of Music. His smile could light up Times Square in broad daylight 😊 and his corner on the 1928 recording of "West End Blues" will melt your heart. Oh yeah, this was about Jimi Hendrix, sorry. So check out "Red House" from the original UK release of the Are You Experienced? record. It's probably the song that, as a wee laddie growing up in Scotland in 1967, did the "revamped my brain" thing that Brian Wilson (Beach Boys) has said happened to him when he heard "Be My Baby" and the Wall of Sound production of Phil Spector on that record. "Once you hear that record", Wilson stated in an interview for the PBS documentary series Rock & Roll, "You're a fan for life." He was not wrong about that.
You know the've had reverse delay pedals since I was a boy back in the 60's. The early delay pedals were on tape & played backwards but it's been digital for 60yrs now. Kenny Rogers & the 1st Edition used reverse delay on the intro to "Just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in" before Kenny went solo in vegas for the duration.
The "Hendrix in the West" lp contains a live version of this song that forgoes any backward loops and features just his single guitar, and the things he does with the feedback in that performance is just as mind blowing as the studio version.
So much was happening back then. way different than today - in Music terms anyway. try the guitar flash ' East West ' by Butterfield blues > released about the same time as Revolver which I will always consider the best LP of ' our' music. ' revolver' of course had backwards guitar , among other things.
The Beatles had done a lot of backwards guitars heck everything high hat symbols u name it a year earlier in 66 on revolver. So by the time Jimmy made this album it was all the rage.
It really felt a lot like scratching at times, like really heavy industrial scratching. That was great. Check out one of his hits that is so rambunctious, it's so fun and it's a really compact song, Crosstown Traffic. It's a massive banger.
i think its about doing LSD, so are you experienced with it. the lyrics, the reverse recording, and hendrix did take acid, it all, imo relates to tripping on LSD, which i have done.
I saw Jimi in Seattle at the Sick Stadium before the baseball team moved to Milwaukee. When the team left the Stadium became and still is a Lowe's Hardware store on Rainier Ave.
My favorite Hendrix track has always been "Voodoo Chile Blues". Great jam session with him on guitar, Mitch Mitchell on drums, Jack Casady of Jefferson Airplane on bass and Steve Winwood of Traffic on organ. Man they were all in the groove that night. It's almost spooky. It's funny how it's slight return gets all the attention.
Should do the entire album, along with ALL of Jimi’s STUDIO recordings. There, and only there, will you find his uniquely artistic intentions and expertise in capturing his legendary abilities. His live performances (short of his iconic Woodstock appearance) don’t live up to his genius as a recording artist. Like Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry before, and Eddie Van Halen after, Jimi’s influence on Contemporary Music cannot be overestimated.
Some think the Yardbirds Shapes of Things (w/ Jeff Beck0 was the first psychedelic rock song, recorded Dec 1965. Has guitar feedback, Indian influenced guitar solo, fuzz tones, etc. Probably no point arguing first. But Hendrix admired Beck, and Beck thought Jimi was a god. Beatles used tape loops and backwards guitar before Hendrix. But Jimi took it way further, and integrated it in with all the other super creative, inventive, new stuff he did. He was master experimenter and producer.
It was a case of each one's influence on the other. Jimi Hendrix was influenced by the Beatles studio production. So was pretty much everybody, including Spector and Brian Wilson. The Beatles along with every guitar player who has come along since, were/are influenced by Jimi Hendrix.
Fantastic reaction to a wild song! I used to look at the record spin on the turntable as I listened to this as a little kid, frozen, almost freaked out by the music, but more intrigued than anything! HOWEVER: backwards recording was in en vogue at this time due to The Beatles, specifically the Revolver album (1966), and specifically the songs "I'm Only Sleeping" and "Tomorrow Never Knows", which might be even more mind-blowing and psychedelic than THIS song, if you can believe such a thing! "Tomorrow Never Knows" sort of started the psychedelic space race!!! And Jimi definitely loved the Beatles and was influenced by them. (for one, he moved to England to get famous! :D )
Well actually...Eddie Kramer was Jinis engineer / producer and he also worked with the Beatles and he was the first to the backwards thingies....with the Beatles a couple years or so before this.
I've often compared the Jimi Hendrix Experience concert I attended to watching a movie in that there were 3 people on stage but the sounds were uh... if it wasn't a bass or a drum it was a guitar -- but how??? ....???
it has been a long time ago that us musicians producers etc sold their "soul" for some money they almost killed R&R thats what hendrix was singing about (made of gold and can t be sold)
Yes yes i have been experienced highly reccomend
" im the one that's going to have to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life , the way I want to" the hendrix tune 'if 6 was 9'
best line in rock EVER........"Not necessarily stoned.....but beautiful"......floors me every time I hear it.
This song is trippy as fuck, and one of my favorite Hendrix songs!
Are you Experienced? Well I am!
“Trippy as fuck”. Perfect description! 😁✌️. My favorite Hendrix song
"Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful."
The Beatles used reverse guitar loops in '66 "Tomorrow Never Knows". The original psychadelic song.
'Eight Miles High' came out 5 months earlier. 'You're Gonna Miss Me' by The 13th Floor Elevators came out 7 months earlier.
Yes there were some Psychedelic songs earlier, but to be clear, the Beatles were first ones to use backwards guitar.
@@micv5149 I'm Only Sleeping - The Beatles was the very first time that backwards guitar was used on a rock song

Jimi was from another world. He just stopped by this one to help us to move along and then he left. Job well done Jimi!
Meet you in the next world.......don't be late!
"Well I lived here before the days of ice".."I've come back to find the stars misplaced..and the smell of a world that is burned."
If we're still around people will listen to this 1000 years from now and dig it.

The Beatles used tape loops and backwards guitars on Revolver, a year before this. But it did blow our minds at the time.
Blown away at 8 years old when this came out…still 🔥
Beatles were the first but Hendrix took it to a whole new level.
Innovation is what sets Hendrix apart from most other guitarist. He created sounds never thought of. That and playing from his soul.
I have always said the same thing. I never concern myself with who is the best guitarist. Musician or songwriter. Chuck Berry, Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Steve. Vai, Eddie Van Halen were all innovative and influential. The only best ever was a band, the Beatles.

Hendrix Live At The Filmore 🎸
Jimi. THE ONLY GOAT.
Just like Led Zeppelin , there are no bad songs on any Hendrix Album ! I was lucky to see him about 6 times !
Back in the day, I would come home trippin' and play both sides of this album. Ah...Good times.

Jimi took it all the way home, that’s for sure.
I think both of you have just been experienced. 😆

Eric Johnson did a great version of this song live in Austin Texas
I always feel like I'm coming down after the song ends...
i think its about doing LSD, so are you experienced with it. the lyrics, the reverse recording, and hendrix did take acid, it all, imo relates to tripping on LSD, which i have done.
Be sure to check out each song from this album.
yes I am
Samantha is a natural 🕊️
please check Jimi Hendrix - Machine gun - Live from Fillmore East with Gypsys
Hendrix was an alien. 👽 It’s the only logical explanation, frankly. Please try “ Voodoo Child”!!!
I saw Jimi in Seattle at the Sick Stadium before the baseball team moved to Milwaukee. When the team left the Stadium became and still is a Lowe's Hardware store on Rainier Ave.
My favorite Hendrix track has always been "Voodoo Chile Blues". Great jam session with him on guitar, Mitch Mitchell on drums, Jack Casady of Jefferson Airplane on bass and Steve Winwood of Traffic on organ. Man they were all in the groove that night.

As Jimmy McIntyre said : George Harrison, The Beatles, Tomorrow Never Knows would be a great reaction choice.
Jimi used to put drops of LSD in his headband before some of his most memorable performances.
Some think the Yardbirds Shapes of Things (w/ Jeff Beck0 was the first psychedelic rock song, recorded Dec 1965.

He was master experimenter and producer.
The Beatles did backwards tape looping in the song "Tomorrow Never Knows" years before Jimi..."just the facts mam"
When this album first came out, we thought "have you ever been experienced?" was code for "have you ever been stoned?"
I had all of Hendrix albums.... This was my favorite...But, The Beatles were the first to use backwards loops
Not necessarily stoned but.... beautiful.
Beatles were doing the backwards stuff the same time but I don't know who influenced who.
It was a case of each one's influence on the other. Jimi Hendrix was influenced by the Beatles studio production. So was pretty much everybody, including Spector and Brian Wilson. The Beatles along with every guitar player who has come along since, were/are influenced by Jimi Hendrix.
It was the Beatles who were the innovators and the first to record, with this technology, on the album Revolver, in 1966.
To me the best example of psychedelic rock is "2,000 Light Years From Home" by the Rolling Stones.
Fantastic reaction to a wild song! I used to look at the record spin on the turntable as I listened to this as a little kid, frozen, almost freaked out by the music, but more intrigued than anything! HOWEVER: backwards recording was in en vogue at this time due to The Beatles, specifically the Revolver album (1966), and specifically the songs "I'm Only Sleeping" and "Tomorrow Never Knows", which might be even more mind-blowing and psychedelic than THIS song, if you can believe such a thing! "Tomorrow Never Knows" sort of started the psychedelic space race!!! And Jimi definitely loved the Beatles and was influenced by them. (for one, he moved to England to get famous! :D )
PS: Totally agree about the record scratching!!!! Always thought that, since scratching began!
Yes, I've been experienced and I would do it again, but it's not something to be taken lightly or as a cheap thrill. It can be life changing.
Jimi Hendrix - 1983 a merman i should turn to be is a master piece
Also Have you ever been to electric ladyland.
Try 13th Floor Elevators for the origins of psychedelic and garage rock
The Beatles were naturally the first with backward tape loops!
Greatest musician since bach Beethoven
Not sure if this was the best suggestion for your second Jimi Hendrix studio track. It's kind of like......throwing you in the deep end
Well actually...Eddie Kramer was Jinis engineer / producer and he also worked with the Beatles and he was the first to the backwards thingies....with the Beatles a couple years or so before this.
Thanks for great reaction😊🙏
Can you please react to "like a tattoo" by Sade live from San Diego? That's a legendary song
You guys may like a little Kraftwerk. If only for their influence on music and media.

Sam is beautiful. I agree.
Well, I have.
As others have said, The Beatles used backward guitar the year before this.
How about some more Springsteen?

Keep in mind , there were no DAW’s. You couldn’t cut and paste things into tracks with a mouse. You had to cut and splice tape.

We all know what Experience means.
I've often compared the Jimi Hendrix Experience concert I attended to watching a movie in that there were 3 people on stage but the sounds were uh... if it wasn't a bass or a drum it was a guitar -- but how??? ....???
"Not necessarily stoned, but, beautiful".
Lol...not necessarily not stoned either.
it has been a long time ago that us musicians producers etc sold their "soul" for some money they almost killed R&R thats what hendrix was singing about (made of gold and can t be sold)
I think if you look at John Lennon's early works he actually did this with backward guitar on the song rain:
I wonder if Jimmy was on an acid trip when he wrote this, lol.
