Fantastic. He's so great no matter what is going on. He was the greatest guitarist. He was a magician with the guitar. Brilliant. Superb. Beyond belief. No-one anywhere near him. Never. He, the person, was beautiful - a beautiful soul. And he had the most sublime voice! I love his voice. Thank you for this gem.
Well he definitely had a super strong hand on the 6 string, but I'd say he goes way beyond that. He channeled something so powerful. Like his hands were antennas to the divine.
How is this even a bad night? That man really is a one off, he has changed the landscape of all music which has followed him. A true genius, rest in power x
"How is this even a bad night?" you ask? Are you even aware of the back story behind this event? Band of Gypsies was disbanded because of this performance. 🤨
@@PaulSmoker420 yes I know the story, the manager spiked Hendrix with the acid blah blah blah so Hendrix would fall out with Miles and get back with the experience. Any other musician could only hope to play at this level, and for Hendrix it’s considered a bad night because he’s just that good
@@8lacksmithereens It wasn't Jeffrey. Jimi said it was Devon that spiked him, willingly or not. Johhny Winter saw Jimi arrive at the venue already in a sorry state. Buddy invented his story.
Jimi and the Gypsys will never be touched. No other musician will ever get that deep into the realm of soul. The Band of Gypsys are the MASTERS, we are the grasshoppers.
MCCOY MADE there were and still are many black soul musicians and groups. Jimi was one of the greats to reach majority white audiences and brought that street hood soul vibe to the white suburban kids.
@@mateodelcastillo7186 Hendrix had soul beyond Motown / Chicago.. Blues beyond Muddy Waters.. Rock & Roll beyond the Stones, Beatles, Dead, Doors, Airplane, AND he was also punk rock. A musical chameleon.
Went to the '69 and the '70 garden performances and I still have first ed. LPs of every one of his albums. I was introduced to his music by Robert Lichtig who later went on to play the flute, clarinet & bass guitar for Seals & Croft. Glad I got to live those times.
Jimmy is the only person that can go into your bones, soul, spirit, heart with his guitar. Nobody else can. God gave him to us just for a while. A true genious.!
I honestly don’t know why people want to call him anything other than Jimi. He was other names at birth, but as a performer, it’s Jimi. Why would anyone argue that??? Makes no sense. Prove a point that is pointless to prove.
Jimi was free and he will always be. His management , business men, some people in the audience just wanted to tell him what to do, what to play and how to perform. They don't understand, never did and sadly, never will they understand that Jimi is free. His spirit is free. And he gives love and an absolutely mind-blowing music-trip to everybody who's openhearted for it. If Jimi wants to play 20 Minutes on universe-level and then leaves with a message about the "universe and the earth", man, he gave more than anyone could “pay” for. A tragedy he died but more than that, a miraculous blessing he lived and lives on. Peace & Sound
This is obviously very sad for Jimi.He was frustrated and was pressured by everyone, I mean everyone. His rat manager to the audience screaming for him to pay Fire. This is a complete opposite of Jimi's nature, but this is a privilege to hear as we get to hear his playing expressing those raw emotions and struggles. You get the musical expression of his playing reflecting a very very difficult situation. You get to hear him when it's just raw emotion albeit on the down side. Unlike albums where they take the best cut out of 50 samples. You know come back tomorrow when you feel better etc. Anyone dig?
JImi had had months of free time to get it together (last tour ended 6 months earlier) but his lifestyle choices got in the way of everything unfortunately.
Jimi's gift was guitar. His personality was not meant for the pressure put on him from many sides; he was simply overwhelmed and couldn't cope. He sought relief in drugs and alcohol which eventually killed him. 18 times the prescribed dose of Vesparax washed down with a bottle of red wine -- while he was the greatest, he was also human, and chemicals are chemicals. He was incredibly reckless with substance use and if it hadn't taken him then, it would have sooner than later. In the last 6 months of his life he was just one bump away. So, so sad. Here he is playing more how HE wanted to -- seriously, creatively. He was so past "Fire." He complained that people treated him as "a circus clown" or worse, who only wanted to see him do tricks, roll around on stage, play with his teeth, and set his guitar on fire. You listen to the exploration on this, or "Machine Gun", or "Rainy Day, Dream Away". THAT'S what Jimi could do. But management (and fans) wanted the 1967 "hits." He's so far away from that here, but people didn't want THIS, they wanted a burning guitar. 🙄
i was @ this show. i was a 15 yr old vendor @ msg. i was a high school student from the bronx & had a big exam the next day.. had to take the subway home.jimi came on very very late but i stayed cuz there was no way i was gonna miss him... i was pretty pissed when he walked off
Allen Albright His manager purposely slipped him some bad pills before the show. He wasn’t happy about Jimi being backed by two other blacks(from a PR perspective). So it was a sabotage
Mike Jeffreys was his manager who gave him 2xsuperstrength bad acid.... He was ripping him off bad and wanted him to get the experience cash cow back on track.... Hendrix walked off after these 2 songs.... Jeffreys was a bad man....
Miles, and Carlos Santana s much better collaboration . Mitch gave more versatility and unique energy. Miles wanted spot light , difficult personality, still soul full, just different.
He was a handful in more than one way. Big ego and very difficult. He felt he should be on the same level as Jimi in the group and pushed himself right out of the band. It was cool to hear him with someone other than Mitch, but Mitch was Jimi’s drummer. Fun rumor - according to Bootsy Collins, Jimi asked him to quit James Brown’s JB’s and join him for what became Band of Gypsys. He didn’t want to steal them from James though. So, they had to quit James and then he’d hire them, but Bootsy couldn’t do James that way. Would’ve been amazing to hear what they did, but P-Funk never would’ve been what it was without Bootsy
Whatever happened that night, I love Jimi guitar sounds. Machine gun has beautiful solo guitar parts. Eart blues is very nicely played too. Band of Gypsys was mind-blowing.
I've heard so many say " imagine what he'd have done if he'd lived, " my thought is IMAGINE WHAT HE'D HAVE DONE IF HE HADNT BEEN FUCKED WITH ( manager Mike Jeffery being one of MANY !! )
I was born in 1970 jimi and I too longtime fan.. Only special people can feel this.we are called SENSITIVE, I feel sorry for the rest. Good 1 mate from Bob UK
I've never had a chance to really try and figure this out- - - but the cramps (from the strychnine) really distract him at 19:55 - after that, he's actually playing behind the beat for several measures, but true to form for someone so accustomed to playing really high, exactly 1 minute later he's recovered himself and really "pouring on the coal" !!! What an inspiration to behold this man's valiant performance under such crappy circumstances .......
@@jazzdorefree194 Yes and so do I. I think he played on acid (at least Live) quite often, so I've never been convinced that was his real problem on this particular night. But there's almost nothing worse than a bad belly ache, and strychnine laced acid buckled me over more than once.
There's never been a single documented case of LSD being tainted with strychnine -- that's an old myth. It was just poorly made LSD -- leave it at that. And this is hardly a "valiant" performance. He's fucked up so bad he can barely play, and half the time sounds like he's not interested in playing at all.
jimi's crooked manager micheal jeffery gave him some bad acid to mess up the show because he was dead set against him playing with the band of gypsies from the start .@@portrigarapid9935

I truly appreciate you made the decision and effort to take a cassette recorder and capture these important shows. I bet you never thought your tape would be heard by so many! Haha thanks again man ✌
I was there. I snuck in with the cast of Hair at the stage door entrance. I took the elevator with them to stage level and they went to the right and i headed to the left and sat in a small bleacher realizing i was sitting next to Billy Cox's wife in a little bleacher at the side of the stage. We were talking. having a good time and both of us were freaking when he walked off the stage. The band just stood on the stage for some time before they realized he wasn't coming back.. I talked to Jimmy when his limo pulled into the underground garage at MSG..before the show. I told him i didn't have a ticket and He told me it was going to be a lame show for straight people and if i couldn't get in it was no big deal. and to come to a different show.
Yeah sure bro.... And i met jimi (you spelled even his Name wrong) in 1966 and showes him a new lick of mine, He then said "its realy cool, you are a groovy cat!" And used it on purple haze! Im so honoured to This day

This is without doubt one of my favourite pieces of vinyl. Hugely underrated, I think a lot of Jimi Hendrix fans just aren't aware of it. I first came across it due to Digital Underground sampling it on their Sex Packets album, to excellent effect.
songs from jimi live never sound the same , that why you still listen every single bootlegor live performance and you listen new things every time man... so rich even when you notice perhaps he is in low vibes. still it manage to make it worth it. listen to jimi worth living in earth man.
Who is to say that he would have continued to make music? And please name for me one band from the 60s that went on to make good music in the 80s. His 80s output would have been embarrassing and cringeworthy. 🎸😬
I think Jimi was so creative he would have gone in a lot of directions in music and film. Collaborations with other musicians would have been his thing.
Heavy. Even when Jimi was trying to overcome the bad acid somebody gave him, he could still navigate the fretboard. I know the feeling. He needed to ride it out in a safe place. Madison Square Garden in front of thousands of people wasn’t the best place to process a hard trip.
Billy was in no shape to even touch his instrument or even be around people when he was given that acid by someone. That is not the period I’m referring to. During that time Jimi watched over Billy, who hadn’t spoken a word in several days. He finally started to come around & Jimi was very relieved.
@@DeederDeets Michael Jeffries had something to do with that because he wanted the experience to get back together which is why Jeffries probably died a horrible death in that plane crash
WOW...this long awaited segment of the show was longer than I remembered! You get to hear it anytime with a click. Those of us who idly waited hours that night were mighty disappointed by this sadly messy appearance. Nonetheless, a good , forever missed & beloved man, and incredible musician devoured by the foolishness of recreational drugging!
@@RetroFan The story as told by Buddy Miles was that Manager Mike Jeffrey sabotaged this concert by slipping Jimi some bad LSD. The band broke up right after this show/ Jeffry didn't want the BOG to exist, wanted to reform the Experience for $$$
"devoured by the foolishness of recreational drugging!" That was part of it, but not the only reason he died. Wasn't eating good, didn't sleep, overworked, too many women...also corrupt management putting some major black magic on him---plus his own personal demons and the stress of fame.
The last notes are outstanding, he goes so far in music then he says "That's what happen when earth ck with space". Well what he played here was clearly mystic, maybe too powerfull for a single man, God is great
I prefer this version of "Who Knows" over Filmore East. Something eerie and very bluesy goin on. Obviously he wasn't himself this night due to whatever speculation you believe. I still think he sounded good- and Buddy actually held it together for a time with Mr. Cox of course. "Who knows" - what really happened that night?
For anyone tryin to say he was better with Mitch or Buddy doesn't dynamics between each musician on any given period of time jamming together. Each one brings their own energy and it interacts between band members thus the dynamic is played out. Personalities and moods of the moment interact and are expressed. You get to hear the dynamic expression of these musicians which is an Experience. Pun intended.

According to many biographies written about Jimi's life, he ended this concert after just two songs because he was bone-tired, plus he was given bad LSD.
@@deemika doesnt make any sense, none of your drugs are halluzygene, you fill kokain with speed but not fucking LSD 😂 Speed is a white wet substance pure and like kokain if its dried,how you gonna put this on a LSD Trip and why???? Speed costs Money
That was the end of the show AND the BoG? I’d read there had been another concert - “disaster” is how I heard it put) after the Filmore shows but didn’t know it had been just two songs. Wonder how long the fans waited for them to “get it together” before storming out, demanding a return for the ticket costs, etc. When I saw Jimi on June 6th of that year I believe his band was introduced as, “Gypsy Caravan?”
Imo he seems uninterested from the get go (not saying what he's playing isn't still impressive) but by the last 3 minutes or so it sounds like Jimi's struggling to keep himself together... Playing becomes sparse and sporadic little riffs... His timing starts slipping thru Earth Blues etc... I am curious what truly happend. So many stories about the events leading up to this etc ... Jimi gave an interview regarding the night, pretty interesting read although it doesn't go into any details per se.
Heard of this thanks to Lost Media Wiki where it says that concert footage of this cannot be seen and maybe it's best if it stays that way. Also this show makes me sad because Hendrix wasn't in the best health and later that same year is when he would actually die with Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison following after. :(
Drugs are bad, m'kay?! Unless you were Jimi Hendrix, then you would be a master of the universe. Still can't help but wonder if he would of survived at least a couple more decades what music the world would be hearing.
Super fucking cool. A new Hendrix tune I've never heard before. That cat was truly master of the universe. God flowed through his fingers. Just imagine having that level of mastery.
The last notes are outstanding, he goes so far in music then he says "That's what happen when earth ck with space". Well what he played here was clearly mystic, maybe too powerfull for a single man, God is great What do you think ? Is there many live where Hendrix play these kind of cosmic rage ? May God bless his soul despite his sins
Hey may have been High but man Earth Blues he clearly sings the arrangement and then his solo is stratospheric. Hits all the changes. At 2050 Sounds like he's playing the solo from 8 miles high (Byrds) Then it dissolves..... Don't fuck with space
i know people like Buddy Miles,and yes he was a superb drummer, but Mitch blows him away JIMI embellished on every song every night,and Mitch followed the changes,and anticipated where JIMI was going and went right along with him and he handled them sticks way better than Buddy ever did
I’m sorry, but buddy miles was cheesey...he had no imagination for improv and you can hear Jimi being frustrated with that. He keeps doing these pauses that guitarists will do as sort of protest/asking the drummer to show him where the feeling is.... Hendrix keeps asking him to give him some goods and all he does is the same thing. I think JM is frustrated with that heavy snare accentuation he’s doing. All you hear on Who Knows is constant washing on the cymbal with a punching snare. The drums are so safe non psychedelic that it’s pissing jimi off.
The B.O.G studio recordings,Mitch cant touch Buddys drumming.Pure Funk and Soul.Listen to Mitch play Power of Soul on the Cry of Love tour 1o70,nowhere near Buddy Miles Funk...
Lads, no better/ best here. Mitch Mitchell, like some of the great rock drummers, had a jazz swing in his fire. Buddy Miles was a R&B pocket drummer. Both great Different styles & feel. It seems the direction Jimi wanted to go in his heart, was down the Space / Jazzier R&B thing with a pocket groover like Buddy. Sessions at that time with Miles Davis were not working out, and Jimi's unscrupulous manager wanted back the big bucks of the original money making machine that JHE was.
i used to think mitch was the bomb but his timing was usually off and (uncreative) live. if you cant stand the funk dont get dirty ;) Buddy Miles slamming that snare does it for me and Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell never clicked like the The Gypsys. I certainly wish this band continued. Not sure FRater SLS where you're seeing Jimi's frustrations. The solos and rhythms are all his, Buddy Miles gives him that room. Also, people, this was about consciousness, right? You can't hear the new found freedom Jimi has? The Experience and the Band of Gypsys are two different bands. Nuff said! Love ya'll Peace and God bless :)
Buddy is in the pocket , Mitch is more jazz oriented so therefore let's fly with some crazy fills to fill the gaps Jimi leaves . Buddy is a fantastic drummer but not that way inclined .
It wasn't just his musical side it was also his image and how he looked! The colorful threads he wore went with his culture and nobody could get away with that but him! He was also part black and part Cherokee Indian on his mother's side. Then there was that left hand playing and the right hand upside down Strat. Top it off with the bushy afro and head band, his tall height. Nobody looked like that!
That’s true he had the looks to rock those outfits and was half black 25% Native American and 25% white/irish or something. To be honest if I could pick genetics to make myself that’s something I would pick. No wonder he called himself the voodoo child. He had the spirit of black, native and white in his genes. And was in tuned with his spirit, coming from them. Upside down strat was cool and original. With being right handed i wonder how that has to play with the brain and right/left brain and how it might change the ability to play better or sing while playing or anything like that. Probably not much but still a difference. He wasn’t that tall he was average 5’10 or 5,11. That Afro gave a few inches. The most extraordinary thing about his physique was his hands!! He was built for guitar playing. His hands measured over 10 inches from the wrist to the tip of middle finger. Just compare that to your own to see how huge that is. There’s a few pictures out there of him with his hand in front of his face and it looks like those hands don’t belong to that head. One of his hands could cover the whole front of his face/head.
I Think the first Filmore East versión was better with Buddy singing dowloading vocals and Drums, Jimi his Guitar solos and Billy with the Bass great trío The Best of Jimi Hendrix 🎸
Sometimes yer Manic, sometimes yer Depressive. I saw him in NC in 70 and people were talking to each other during the show. He was laffin here on who knows then starts searing. I'll take it for what it is and it is different. Who knows? Just a cpl more months to live
My brother was there. Jimi was sick and his playing was so subpar he eventually dropped his guitar and walked off stage. Reportedly due to be dosed with to much or just plain bad hallucinogens
Jimi walked off the stage that night, said Mitch Mitchell in his biography because Jimi had been given bad acid by Michael Jeffries, his manager and freaked out after 2 numbers.
@Allen Albright ‘The pressure seemed to have eased off at that point. He knew he wasn’t happy with the Band of Gypsy’s, but he hadn’t got anything else going on. It was a very comfortable time for the two of us. Whence the idea came I know not-maybe the management, maybe Jimi , maybe a bit of both-but the plan was “why don’t we-form the Experience?’ I suspect the deal was that he would ultimately cover some of the places we’d not been to, like Japan and Australia; in fact rumor has it there were people selling tour jackets for Japan. Of Course, we never got there in the end. I’m not sure how Noel got the call but I don’t think he’d even seen Jimi for six months. There was a meeting at the management office in New York with the three of us and then a lengthy interview with Rolling Stone, during which we announced the tour. After the interview Jimi went back to his apartment and I went back to my hotel and within a few hours I’d got a call from him. ‘Could we meet up?’ Musically the conversation was over in a very short time. It came down to ‘What do you think?’ I knew that he meant Noel. It was very tricky. Jimi and I had great affection for Noel as a player and for his humour, but something didn’t feel right.’ The Hendrix Experience, Mitch Mitch &John Platt, 1990, @p.146.
Noel was never even an option after the Fat Mattress debacle ! Billy , Mitch , and Jimi kill it at IOW so I'm guessing he would have stayed like that for a while at least .
Never before in the history of mankind has the unity of thought, soul, heart and expression of emotions been realized at such a level in music. Jimi was able to do this, without the slightest effort. After all, he himself is music, heart, intellect and expression. He himself is a realized miracle, the only and unrepeatable in history. I love Him.
I guess a bad trip is one thing, but after all the accounts I've read about this concert I don't really hear anything that supposedly makes this "a low point of his career", like some have noted. Sounds great to me. I guess it all comes down to his mental state. Poor guy got dosed with bad shit by his manager is what I've heard, mostly. Still playing like a damn god, though. I think his energies were getting low by this point.
No. Jimi LOVED Mitch and Mitch's playing. Jimi CHOSE Mitch for those reasons. Jimi was ready to go in new musical directions. Buddy was the rock solid rhythm Jimi was looking for at that time. Both drummers had their place and time with Jimi. That fact alone places both of them in a sacred place in rock history, and no one can take that from them.
I saw a video interview with Buddy where he was asked about this concert, and he refused to say what happened or what Hendrix said to him after the show. Then he started to cry. That says a lot.
M White Sad stuff, man. I say dat, bcause Buddy maintained love, 4 Jimi & xpressed it many timez. Itz OBVIOUS 2 me, dat da lilyman, had a plan, 2 CONtrol & dominate da Hendrix brand & image, while Hendrix had his own ideaz. I think Buddy had his own ideaz 2, & they didn't alwayz mesh wit Jimiz. Proof iz n da puddin, tho. If Jimi had of lived, I'm sure Buddy & he woulda played sum otha dayz. Howeva, lilyman, would rather kill his golden goose, than set him free, & thus, datz whut happened. SMH
Buddy was a protector of Jimi. As a companion Jimi was much more supported than say having his manager employ a hired gun to fill the position leaving Jimi more vulnerable. Buddy looked out for Jimi's behalf.
Hendrix is clearly impaired in a major way -- he struggles even to do simple hammer pulls, time is really bad, it's pretty painful to listen to. To me it sounds really obvious that he's lost his ability to play accurately, like his hands weigh a ton each and he's having trouble moving his fingers.
I don't know if you've heard Jimi's show in Aahrus, Sweden, one of his last shows. Another aborted show and Jimi's nadir. He REALLY was impaired there, even more so than here. Even his speech sounds different. There's a good audience recording of that
Does anyone know if this is the "Bad brown acid" night? Didn't Jimi sit down on the stage and then split? A big bad difference between this and the new years eve at the Fillmore less than a month before. Like a fortune teller speaking to his own self you can feel a certain strangeness. 💜🎸💜
Yes this is the one they say he played a few songs them dropped his guitar said “this is what happens when you fuck with earth and space” and left. You can tell this is the very start to the eerie vibe here. Yet he was so pure that he could still jam and let it flow out through these few songs until it came on too strong. I also have a blurry memory of something I read about after this concert or something buddy miles the drummer or someone was so messed up they had to go on some other drugs to either try to come down or recover afterwards. I really don’t remember but something along those lines. I don’t wanna start false conspiracy but I wouldn’t be suprized if micheal Jeffrey’s or someone like that had something to do with it.
Buddy Miles claimed that Michael Jeffrey intentionally gave Jimi some bad acid before the show to make this band look bad. He wanted Jimi to put the old band back together because he was afraid that the BOG wasn't commercial enough. Jeffrey was evil.
Fantastic. He's so great no matter what is going on. He was the greatest guitarist. He was a magician with the guitar. Brilliant. Superb. Beyond belief. No-one anywhere near him. Never. He, the person, was beautiful - a beautiful soul. And he had the most sublime voice! I love his voice. Thank you for this gem.
Well he definitely had a super strong hand on the 6 string, but I'd say he goes way beyond that. He channeled something so powerful. Like his hands were antennas to the divine.

Fuck yeah, man. that was the band. He did some good shit with Noel and Mitch, but the real band was Miles and Cox.
Both awesome bands. Mitch was fucking awesome.

JImi had had months of free time to get it together (last tour ended 6 months earlier) but his lifestyle choices got in the way of everything unfortunately.
Jimi's gift was guitar. His personality was not meant for the pressure put on him from many sides; he was simply overwhelmed and couldn't cope. He sought relief in drugs and alcohol which eventually killed him. 18 times the prescribed dose of Vesparax washed down with a bottle of red wine -- while he was the greatest, he was also human, and chemicals are chemicals. He was incredibly reckless with substance use and if it hadn't taken him then, it would have sooner than later. In the last 6 months of his life he was just one bump away. So, so sad. Here he is playing more how HE wanted to -- seriously, creatively. He was so past "Fire." He complained that people treated him as "a circus clown" or worse, who only wanted to see him do tricks, roll around on stage, play with his teeth, and set his guitar on fire. You listen to the exploration on this, or "Machine Gun", or "Rainy Day, Dream Away". THAT'S what Jimi could do. But management (and fans) wanted the 1967 "hits." He's so far away from that here, but people didn't want THIS, they wanted a burning guitar. 🙄

Genial!!!!!! Muy buena forma de describirlo
i was @ this show. i was a 15 yr old vendor @ msg. i was a high school student from the bronx & had a big exam the next day.. had to take the subway home.jimi came on very very late but i stayed cuz there was no way i was gonna miss him... i was pretty pissed when he walked off
Allen Albright His manager purposely slipped him some bad pills before the show. He wasn’t happy about Jimi being backed by two other blacks(from a PR perspective). So it was a sabotage
Mike Jeffreys was his manager who gave him 2xsuperstrength bad acid.... He was ripping him off bad and wanted him to get the experience cash cow back on track.... Hendrix walked off after these 2 songs.... Jeffreys was a bad man....
@@crieff1sand2s And then they killed him with 2xsuperstrength sleeping pills without telling him they were twice as strong as the ones he was used to.
Could not stop listening, Love Hendrix:)
That Buddy Miles' voice was pure gold. Great drummer too.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Miles, and Carlos Santana s much better collaboration . Mitch gave more versatility and unique energy. Miles wanted spot light , difficult personality, still soul full, just different.
He was a handful in more than one way. Big ego and very difficult. He felt he should be on the same level as Jimi in the group and pushed himself right out of the band. It was cool to hear him with someone other than Mitch, but Mitch was Jimi’s drummer. Fun rumor - according to Bootsy Collins, Jimi asked him to quit James Brown’s JB’s and join him for what became Band of Gypsys. He didn’t want to steal them from James though. So, they had to quit James and then he’d hire them, but Bootsy couldn’t do James that way. Would’ve been amazing to hear what they did, but P-Funk never would’ve been what it was without Bootsy
A masterful performance from the master himself.
Still kicks ass even on an bad night. He had the Midas Touch on that guitar.
Oh so true.
avtually it was a very magic night ! Much better than much more material !
Agreed, untouchable
@@CallmeToddy I understood this is all there is. Do you have a link of other material? Jeffrey supposedly had a film crew.
So glad to hear this rendition of 'Earth Blues'!
chills - the crowd, his voice u can feel the energy, its so raw
Wild crowds in those days. Especially for Jimi.
Whatever happened that night, I love Jimi guitar sounds. Machine gun has beautiful solo guitar parts. Eart blues is very nicely played too. Band of Gypsys was mind-blowing.

He didn't make it 2 MACHINE GUN, dis nite.
They stopped @ Earth song, from whut I understand. Da 2nd song.
he had a bad acid trip

I've heard so many say " imagine what he'd have done if he'd lived, " my thought is IMAGINE WHAT HE'D HAVE DONE IF HE HADNT BEEN FUCKED WITH ( manager Mike Jeffery being one of MANY !! )
Yes
I was 3 in 1970,but i am a longtime fan of Jimi🎸
I was born in 1970 jimi and I too longtime fan..
Only special people can feel this.we are called SENSITIVE, I feel sorry for the rest. Good 1 mate from Bob UK
I've never had a chance to really try and figure this out- - - but the cramps (from the strychnine) really distract him at 19:55 - after that, he's actually playing behind the beat for several measures, but true to form for someone so accustomed to playing really high, exactly 1 minute later he's recovered himself and really "pouring on the coal" !!! What an inspiration to behold this man's valiant performance under such crappy circumstances .......
@@jazzdorefree194 Yes and so do I. I think he played on acid (at least Live) quite often, so I've never been convinced that was his real problem on this particular night. But there's almost nothing worse than a bad belly ache, and strychnine laced acid buckled me over more than once.
There's never been a single documented case of LSD being tainted with strychnine -- that's an old myth. It was just poorly made LSD -- leave it at that. And this is hardly a "valiant" performance. He's fucked up so bad he can barely play, and half the time sounds like he's not interested in playing at all.
The time jimi shared with fans
Great
jimi's crooked manager micheal jeffery gave him some bad acid to mess up the show because he was dead set against him playing with the band of gypsies from the start .@@portrigarapid9935
This group is one of the all time best musical groups that ever and will ever exist.

@@stringbender3 I listen to the Band of Gypsys album probably once every month or so and I have been for many years. I can listen to that album hundreds of times and it will still feel so new and innovative.

I made this recording on a Bell and Howell cassette recorder. The same one I snuck into The Fillmore at Midnight!
You can hear me and my girlfriend Paula near the end while he was sitting down on the stage.
Wow, that's amazing! Do you still have the cassette tape?

The drumming is bad ass.
Buddy Miles one of the best friend of jimi fantastic drummer fulltrottlr RIP Jimi and Buddy FOREVER the unbeaten
This is so damn powerful.
I was there. I snuck in with the cast of Hair at the stage door entrance. I took the elevator with them to stage level and they went to the right and i headed to the left and sat in a small bleacher realizing i was sitting next to Billy Cox's wife in a little bleacher at the side of the stage. We were talking. having a good time and both of us were freaking when he walked off the stage. The band just stood on the stage for some time before they realized he wasn't coming back.. I talked to Jimmy when his limo pulled into the underground garage at MSG..before the show. I told him i didn't have a ticket and He told me it was going to be a lame show for straight people and if i couldn't get in it was no big deal. and to come to a different show.
Jimi told you that? Holy crap!
@@ryanelison4539 Yeah, It was pretty crazy!
rocker427 I know I would have lost my mind if I had to chance to meet Jimi face to face.
Yeah sure bro....
And i met jimi (you spelled even his Name wrong) in 1966 and showes him a new lick of mine, He then said "its realy cool, you are a groovy cat!" And used it on purple haze!
Im so honoured to This day

This is without doubt one of my favourite pieces of vinyl. Hugely underrated, I think a lot of Jimi Hendrix fans just aren't aware of it. I first came across it due to Digital Underground sampling it on their Sex Packets album, to excellent effect.
This is unbelievable Jimi!
songs from jimi live never sound the same , that why you still listen every single bootlegor live performance and you listen new things every time man... so rich even when you notice perhaps he is in low vibes. still it manage to make it worth it. listen to jimi worth living in earth man.
*Jimi*speading magic on his guitar* ❤❤❤❤b.o.g.way ahead of there TIME and everyone else❤❤❤❤
Imagine the music Jimi would have created had he not passed away.
Who is to say that he would have continued to make music? And please name for me one band from the 60s that went on to make good music in the 80s. His 80s output would have been embarrassing and cringeworthy. 🎸😬
@@PaulSmoker420 That's like, your opinion, man.
I think Jimi was so creative he would have gone in a lot of directions in music and film. Collaborations with other musicians would have been his thing.
@@PaulSmoker420 Rolling Stones
Heavy. Even when Jimi was trying to overcome the bad acid somebody gave him, he could still navigate the fretboard. I know the feeling. He needed to ride it out in a safe place. Madison Square Garden in front of thousands of people wasn’t the best place to process a hard trip.
I think you mean billy cox. He had the bad trip.
Billy was in no shape to even touch his instrument or even be around people when he was given that acid by someone. That is not the period I’m referring to. During that time Jimi watched over Billy, who hadn’t spoken a word in several days. He finally started to come around & Jimi was very relieved.
@@DeederDeets Michael Jeffries had something to do with that because he wanted the experience to get back together which is why Jeffries probably died a horrible death in that plane crash
That wouldn’t surprise me at all. I find it interesting that the 2 million life insurance on Jimi by Jeffrey was never collected.
@@DeederDeets so where is it and who gets that money?
Hope to see the footage of this event one day
WOW...this long awaited segment of the show was longer than I remembered! You get to hear it anytime with a click. Those of us who idly waited hours that night were mighty disappointed
by this sadly messy appearance. Nonetheless, a good , forever missed & beloved man, and incredible musician devoured by the foolishness of recreational drugging!
lucky to be there Chris! A winter's night?
I heard he had a headache and the manager gave him lsd instead of a pain reliever.
@@RetroFan The story as told by Buddy Miles was that Manager Mike Jeffrey sabotaged this concert by slipping Jimi some bad LSD. The band broke up right after this show/ Jeffry didn't want the BOG to exist, wanted to reform the Experience for $$$
"devoured by the foolishness of recreational drugging!"
That was part of it, but not the only reason he died. Wasn't eating good, didn't sleep, overworked, too many women...also corrupt management putting some major black magic on him---plus his own personal demons and the stress of fame.
@bigstU25 Yah that is one of the most plausible answers. If I had to bet on it I would agree.
I was there that night Jimmy did 3 songs and collapsed to his knees and through up then he was dragged off the stage...
Wholly crap!!! Are you serious?? So sad!!
21:32 , the magic of Hendrix
Love it too
The last notes are outstanding, he goes so far in music then he says "That's what happen when earth ck with space". Well what he played here was clearly mystic, maybe too powerfull for a single man, God is great
Jimi was burnt out. Wish they did more bog recordings, finding Buddy is like finding gold at times.
So sad that jimi didn't find the love he needed. imagine what he might have done with another ten years.
I prefer this version of "Who Knows" over Filmore East. Something eerie and very bluesy goin on. Obviously he wasn't himself this night due to whatever speculation you believe. I still think he sounded good- and Buddy actually held it together for a time with Mr. Cox of course. "Who knows" - what really happened that night?
For anyone tryin to say he was better with Mitch or Buddy doesn't dynamics between each musician on any given period of time jamming together.
Each one brings their own energy and it interacts between band members thus the dynamic is played out. Personalities and moods of the moment interact and are expressed. You get to hear the dynamic expression of these musicians which is an Experience. Pun intended.
A BOG Experience.
He even kaptured hip hop. What a legend!
Amazing guitarist.

According to many biographies written about Jimi's life, he ended this concert after just two songs because he was bone-tired, plus he was given bad LSD.
Whats "Bad" LSD?
@@davidhan635 It's LSD with "filler" chemicals, like speed, elephant tranq, etc.
@@deemika doesnt make any sense, none of your drugs are halluzygene, you fill kokain with speed but not fucking LSD 😂
Speed is a white wet substance pure and like kokain if its dried,how you gonna put this on a LSD Trip and why???? Speed costs Money
That was the end of the show AND the BoG? I’d read there had been another concert - “disaster” is how I heard it put) after the Filmore shows but didn’t know it had been just two songs. Wonder how long the fans waited for them to “get it together” before storming out, demanding a return for the ticket costs, etc. When I saw Jimi on June 6th of that year I believe his band was introduced as, “Gypsy Caravan?”
Great, Thanks!
Jimi experienced a bad acid trip on Earth Blues
Hendrix Flew too near to the Sun on this Version of Earth Blues,its Fuckin Intense !
Can´t hear any catastrophe or "not-be-able-even-too-hold-his-guitar" or other BS. But one of his best concerts!
The one and only.... ever to be... Hendrix.... forever... Jimi...a gift to behold...to see ,,to hear , to experience...
Imo he seems uninterested from the get go (not saying what he's playing isn't still impressive) but by the last 3 minutes or so it sounds like Jimi's struggling to keep himself together... Playing becomes sparse and sporadic little riffs... His timing starts slipping thru Earth Blues etc...
I am curious what truly happend. So many stories about the events leading up to this etc ... Jimi gave an interview regarding the night, pretty interesting read although it doesn't go into any details per se.
Who Knows is pretty sloppy, Earth Blues is great
Did he introduce himself as Alfred E Newman? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Heard of this thanks to Lost Media Wiki where it says that concert footage of this cannot be seen and maybe it's best if it stays that way. Also this show makes me sad because Hendrix wasn't in the best health and later that same year is when he would actually die with Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison following after. :(
It's said he had a bad headache and his manager gave him lsd instead of asprin.
Bad health ?
Drugs are bad, m'kay?! Unless you were Jimi Hendrix, then you would be a master of the universe. Still can't help but wonder if he would of survived at least a couple more decades what music the world would be hearing.
If you see Morgan Freeman today, you're looking at a 79
year old Jimi.
Super fucking cool. A new Hendrix tune I've never heard before. That cat was truly master of the universe. God flowed through his fingers. Just imagine having that level of mastery.
"That's what happens when Earth fucks with space. That's what happens. Never forget that!" 😵💫

What do you think ? Is there many live where Hendrix play these kind of cosmic rage ? May God bless his soul despite his sins
Hey may have been High but man Earth Blues he clearly sings the arrangement and then his solo is stratospheric. Hits all the changes. At 2050 Sounds like he's playing the solo from 8 miles high (Byrds) Then it dissolves..... Don't fuck with space
Awesome! From Blewfoot 🤘
"...When Earth fucks with space" 22:00
i know people like Buddy Miles,and yes he was a superb drummer, but Mitch blows him away
JIMI embellished on every song every night,and Mitch followed the changes,and anticipated where JIMI was going and went right along with him and he handled them sticks way better than Buddy ever did
I’m sorry, but buddy miles was cheesey...he had no imagination for improv and you can hear Jimi being frustrated with that. He keeps doing these pauses that guitarists will do as sort of protest/asking the drummer to show him where the feeling is.... Hendrix keeps asking him to give him some goods and all he does is the same thing. I think JM is frustrated with that heavy snare accentuation he’s doing. All you hear on Who Knows is constant washing on the cymbal with a punching snare. The drums are so safe non psychedelic that it’s pissing jimi off.
The B.O.G studio recordings,Mitch cant touch Buddys drumming.Pure Funk and Soul.Listen to Mitch play Power of Soul on the Cry of Love tour 1o70,nowhere near Buddy Miles Funk...
Lads, no better/ best here.
Mitch Mitchell, like some of the great rock drummers, had a jazz swing in his fire.
Buddy Miles was a R&B pocket drummer.
Both great
Different styles & feel.
It seems the direction Jimi wanted to go in his heart, was down the Space / Jazzier R&B thing with a pocket groover like Buddy.
Sessions at that time with Miles Davis were not working out, and Jimi's unscrupulous manager wanted back the big bucks of the original money making machine that JHE was.
i used to think mitch was the bomb but his timing was usually off and (uncreative) live. if you cant stand the funk dont get dirty ;) Buddy Miles slamming that snare does it for me and Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell never clicked like the The Gypsys. I certainly wish this band continued. Not sure FRater SLS where you're seeing Jimi's frustrations. The solos and rhythms are all his, Buddy Miles gives him that room. Also, people, this was about consciousness, right? You can't hear the new found freedom Jimi has? The Experience and the Band of Gypsys are two different bands. Nuff said! Love ya'll Peace and God bless :)
Buddy is in the pocket , Mitch is more jazz oriented so therefore let's fly with some crazy fills to fill the gaps Jimi leaves . Buddy is a fantastic drummer but not that way inclined .
I love the way he gently eases into the tempo on Power to Love.
Fucking Buddy Miles loved him.

@7:09 when Jimi tries to play octaves like Wes...
Henri Mineur like who?
😧
Wes Montgomery. The best jazzguitar player.
Henri Mineur - Tries? No, he successfully played octaves, adding his own flavor in the process.
Henri Mineur I didn't hear him trying, I heard him doing. His thing, that is.
Is this a matrix of the audience and soundboard sources? I've never heard the show sound like this before. Good sound.
It wasn't just his musical side it was also his image and how he looked! The colorful threads he wore went with his culture and nobody could get away with that but him! He was also part black and part Cherokee Indian on his mother's side. Then there was that left hand playing and the right hand upside down Strat. Top it off with the bushy afro and head band, his tall height. Nobody looked like that!
That’s true he had the looks to rock those outfits and was half black 25% Native American and 25% white/irish or something. To be honest if I could pick genetics to make myself that’s something I would pick. No wonder he called himself the voodoo child. He had the spirit of black, native and white in his genes. And was in tuned with his spirit, coming from them.
Upside down strat was cool and original.
With being right handed i wonder how that has to play with the brain and right/left brain and how it might change the ability to play better or sing while playing or anything like that. Probably not much but still a difference.
He wasn’t that tall he was average 5’10 or 5,11. That Afro gave a few inches.
The most extraordinary thing about his physique was his hands!! He was built for guitar playing. His hands measured over 10 inches from the wrist to the tip of middle finger. Just compare that to your own to see how huge that is. There’s a few pictures out there of him with his hand in front of his face and it looks like those hands don’t belong to that head. One of his hands could cover the whole front of his face/head.
I Think the first Filmore East versión was better with Buddy singing dowloading vocals and Drums, Jimi his Guitar solos and Billy with the Bass great trío The Best of Jimi Hendrix 🎸
This is painful to listen to, when you know what this man was capable off on a stage.
Woodstock ,69 apparently his manager slipped him a handful of unknown pills before the show, in order to purposely screw him up on purpose
Sometimes yer Manic, sometimes yer Depressive. I saw him in NC in 70 and people were talking to each other during the show. He was laffin here on who knows then starts searing. I'll take it for what it is and it is different. Who knows? Just a cpl more months to live
Christopher James If thats what he did give me some of those because his playing here is just great!And what a sound!

My brother was there. Jimi was sick and his playing was so subpar he eventually dropped his guitar and walked off stage. Reportedly due to be dosed with to much or just plain bad hallucinogens
Jimi walked off the stage that night, said Mitch Mitchell in his biography because Jimi had been given bad acid by Michael Jeffries, his manager and freaked out after 2 numbers.

Hendrix was not happy with the BOG so he spoke with Mitch about getting Noel back and reforming the Experience
Yea so then his Jew manager had him killed.
@Allen Albright
‘The pressure seemed to have eased off at that point. He knew he wasn’t happy with the Band of Gypsy’s, but he hadn’t got anything else going on. It was a very comfortable time for the two of us. Whence the idea came I know not-maybe the management, maybe Jimi , maybe a bit of both-but the plan was “why don’t we-form the Experience?’
I suspect the deal was that he would ultimately cover some of the places we’d not been to, like Japan and Australia; in fact rumor has it there were people selling tour jackets for Japan. Of Course, we never got there in the end. I’m not sure how Noel got the call but I don’t think he’d even seen Jimi for six months. There was a meeting at the management office in New York with the three of us and then a lengthy interview with Rolling Stone, during which we announced the tour.
After the interview Jimi went back to his apartment and I went back to my hotel and within a few hours I’d got a call from him. ‘Could we meet up?’ Musically the conversation was over in a very short time. It came down to ‘What do you think?’ I knew that he meant Noel. It was very tricky. Jimi and I had great affection for Noel as a player and for his humour, but something didn’t feel right.’

Oh, Alfred E Newman ?
Afraid he's new man
The band was jammin?
Andrew Perry And smoke bananas :D
Never before in the history of mankind has the unity of thought, soul, heart and expression of emotions been realized at such a level in music. Jimi was able to do this, without the slightest effort. After all, he himself is music, heart, intellect and expression. He himself is a realized miracle, the only and unrepeatable in history. I love Him.
The band was great but the original Jimi Hendrix experience I feel was superior.. I think Jimmy felt the same way.
couple tunes
I guess a bad trip is one thing, but after all the accounts I've read about this concert I don't really hear anything that supposedly makes this "a low point of his career", like some have noted. Sounds great to me. I guess it all comes down to his mental state. Poor guy got dosed with bad shit by his manager is what I've heard, mostly. Still playing like a damn god, though. I think his energies were getting low by this point.
I wonder what he meant by thanking God for having Buddy Miles on drums surely he wasn’t dissing Mitch Mitchell, I surely hope not.
No. Jimi LOVED Mitch and Mitch's playing. Jimi CHOSE Mitch for those reasons. Jimi was ready to go in new musical directions. Buddy was the rock solid rhythm Jimi was looking for at that time. Both drummers had their place and time with Jimi. That fact alone places both of them in a sacred place in rock history, and no one can take that from them.
I saw a video interview with Buddy where he was asked about this concert, and he refused to say what happened or what Hendrix said to him after the show. Then he started to cry. That says a lot.

Sad stuff, man.
I say dat, bcause Buddy maintained love, 4 Jimi & xpressed it many timez.
Itz OBVIOUS 2 me, dat da lilyman, had a plan, 2 CONtrol & dominate da Hendrix brand & image, while Hendrix had his own ideaz. I think Buddy had his own ideaz 2, & they didn't alwayz mesh wit Jimiz.

SMH
Buddy was a protector of Jimi. As a companion Jimi was much more supported than say having his manager employ a hired gun to fill the position leaving Jimi more vulnerable. Buddy looked out for Jimi's behalf.
He’s not dissing Mitch Mitchell. He’s dissing Buddy Miles. It’s sarcasm.
Hendrix is clearly impaired in a major way -- he struggles even to do simple hammer pulls, time is really bad, it's pretty painful to listen to. To me it sounds really obvious that he's lost his ability to play accurately, like his hands weigh a ton each and he's having trouble moving his fingers.
I don't know if you've heard Jimi's show in Aahrus, Sweden, one of his last shows. Another aborted show and Jimi's nadir. He REALLY was impaired there, even more so than here. Even his speech sounds different. There's a good audience recording of that
Does anyone know if this is the "Bad brown acid" night? Didn't Jimi sit down on the stage and then split? A big bad difference between this and the new years eve at the Fillmore less than a month before. Like a fortune teller speaking to his own self you can feel a certain strangeness. 💜🎸💜
Yes this is the one they say he played a few songs them dropped his guitar said “this is what happens when you fuck with earth and space” and left.
You can tell this is the very start to the eerie vibe here. Yet he was so pure that he could still jam and let it flow out through these few songs until it came on too strong.
I also have a blurry memory of something I read about after this concert or something buddy miles the drummer or someone was so messed up they had to go on some other drugs to either try to come down or recover afterwards. I really don’t remember but something along those lines.
I don’t wanna start false conspiracy but I wouldn’t be suprized if micheal Jeffrey’s or someone like that had something to do with it.
Alledgedly spiked by Michael Jefferies
Buddy Miles claimed that Michael Jeffrey intentionally gave Jimi some bad acid before the show to make this band look bad. He wanted Jimi to put the old band back together because he was afraid that the BOG wasn't commercial enough. Jeffrey was evil.
