Been waiting for this episode cause I think Electric Ladyland is his masterpiece album. A double album filled with so many great songs is a gift for all Hendrix fans. Great job telling about it. Can't wait for part 2.
@@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW Thanks. Now I'm even more excited. You didn't mention a part 3..oh man that's really cool. I appreciate you letting me know. You're putting me to bed with a smile on my face 😊🙏
Electric Ladyland was the record that captivated my ears and nervous system in 1968. Much, much more than the Beatles White Album around the same time. Got it for my 15th birthday in November of that year and wore down the grooves.
Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) is his signature tune and riff. How many years before this came out to the public in commercials and such? If he lived to be 80 I believe he'd still hit that wah-wah pedal and grin while playing the intro.
What sets this album apart from the other albums is the fact that Jimi produced Electric Ladyland. He is credited with playing bass on half of the songs. Noel Redding contributed on "Crosstown Traffic", "Little Miss Strange", "Come On", "Burning of the Midnight Lamp", and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)"; acoustic guitar and lead vocals on "Little Miss Strange"
When they sent out the acetate it came back Electric Landlady. They also thought the mix was a mess and changed it. So far ahead of anything. It was its own world as many things in the late 60's opened doors of the mind which had been oppressed. 1983 and Voodoo Chile (Slight return) were the highlights for me, but it was all great. "Setting the Record Straight was and is the best biography which covers Electric Ladyland. I think Jimi surpassed much of EL with the songs that he was working on in Electric Ladyland studio before his passing and many which are in the 1st 3 posthumous albums. COL, RB and WH respectively....though Loose Ends, appropriately titled had some bombs too.
We listened to this album over and over back around 1992 getting stoned as young musicians and it is just a movie in itself.. Rainy Day Rain all day and The Wah is just crazy.. The jazz drum feel and Jimi's coolness.. Just Unique.. and obviously as a Guitar player i love Hendrx & yes i love the wah wah pedal..
I have the original LP and every reissued cd that came out but if you don't already have it get the - Electric Ladyland - 50th Anniversary Deluxe. the surround cd is like nothing you've ever heard before, you'll hear voices and tones (especially in epic 15 minute Voodoo Chile) in there that you never knew existed in the previous releases.
Yeah... I had to come back after seeing part 2, because I realized I forgot to comment. Sometimes my time, during certain days, makes me rush...I'm in such a hurry, I have to rush everything and I get side-tracked. You know I love these episodes. If I forget to comment, just assume I liked it, but I will try to make sure I come back and say something when I remember. Electric Ladyland is one of my all time favorites... and I don't think you could possibly go wrong making a video about it. Keep up the good work, and I'm always looking forward to each new episode. Thanks once again....... And as always 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮 5 out of 5!!!!!
An excellent episode, with some cracking analysis. The images are fantastic, too. I'd be especially interested to know the source of what seems to be a glossy magazine article on "Electric Ladyland" with a blue background. It looks intriguing. Where did you find all those unused shots of Jimi taken by David Montgomery, as well? Thanks, as ever, for your time and effort in putting this amazing series together.
quick question. Just finding your channel today. I noticed some of the early episodes in the longer series you have don't seem to be here? Were they just the first few videos then you changed to a numerical order? Thanks. Really excited to listen to all these!!
Welcome my friend! Yes, I understand your question, truth is, we've been somewhat haphazard, the episode numbers relate to the chronological (month by month) stuff, but like this episode, it's additional. I hope that makes sense? Cheers
Voodoo Chile is a completely different song a 15 min slow blues jam on side (A ) of Electric Ladyland .Voodoo Child (Slight Return) is the last song on the (D) side of the double LP. Voodoo Child (Slight Return) was actually an impromptu track recorded the next day after Jimi jammed and recorded Voodoo Chile) According to Noel Redding Jimi's bass player - Hendrix returned to the studio for the filming of a short documentary by ABC television. Noel Redding explained, "We learned that song in the studio ... They had the cameras rolling on us as we played it".
There were quite a few takes of Slight Return, before the final take was decided on. I have an old CD that has like 13 takes, but I think there were even more than that! It is very interesting, to listen to how that amazing tune was evolving, from take to take.
Would've hated to be a music critic at that time, trying to keep a job, defining cool to a world ready to explode, keeping an unpredictable audience reigned in to whose status quo? and fettering works of genius with opinion to slow it down, and praising garbage. Meanwhile, this album melted into my genetics!
It really is remarkable, how Jimi put this excellent display album together, despite his relentless touring, and his growing personal issues. Gary Kellgran, who did some good work on this album, died around ten years later, while addressing a wiring fault in his swimming pool! His girlfriend at the time also died, as she was in the pool with him. Really strange way to go! But Death seemed to plague many of Jimi's friends and important people in his life...I mean, look what happened to the owner of the Fillmore, who had befriended Hendrix..He died in an unfortunate helicopter accident, in the 1980s, I think.
@@bartrobinson2103 Yup...thanks for reminding me...his real name was very ethnic...he led quite an interesting life, and it is sad that he had to die that way. It was in 1991...the helicopter hit a very high-tension structure...the copter actually was fused to the structure, but the three folks inside were thrown out, dropping nearly 200 feet to their deaths. I am an old guy now, but I would never, ever want to ride in a helicopter. Graham helped a lot of musicians with their careers, but also would piss a lot of them off!...He was a tough dude.
@@curbozerboomer1773Graham confronted HENDRIx at the Fillmore East about his set & called Jimi a big SCMUCK❗ Of course Jimi went out(3rd set, NEW YEARS DAY) & smoked MACHINE GUN❗🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
A few other albums which are some of the greatest albums are " Are You Experienced" , " Axis Bold as Love" and the live album " Band of Gypsies" . Plus the live album released after Jimi's death " Hendrix in the West" ...which is a live album that you can put up against any other live guitar player album, and will hold it's own. Plus it's innovative. Any other live album you hear today have some ideas taken from that album. Including tone and even the way Jimi dressed. ( Without mentioning names) Hendrix was way ahead of his time. Peace.
It might be cool to do a breakdown of the studio Electric Lady itself. If that information is still extant. We used to hang around down there in the 80's during acid hunts in The Village. They changed the exterior of it...which I thought was sacrilegious.
I had my first acid trip listening to the album, that was hectic and literally mind blowing. Then I discovered Quicksilver Messenger Service, THE psychedelic band.
John Cippolina had a real feel for the psychedelic vibe!...A relative of his--maybe a nephew--was the lead guitarist for Huey Lewis and the News! San Francisco has a great tradition of churning out excellent music!
It is a work with hidden values. Firstly and foremost, the libretto as narration represents Earth, Mother Earth. The singer is not representing themselves until the Slight Return, everything else is from the pointed opinion of a Floating Liquid Goddess, Earth. The music is a constant canon constructed mathematically similar to Bach's Musical Offering, where the central point serves as a rotation for different mathematical constructs that even Little Miss Strange becomes attached, even if that attachment infers a dislocation, it becomes part of the cyclical bolero the whole of the set of songs revolve around. Feel the spin of the reel as the rod is cast and the weight is thrown off the shore from the end of the rod as Schubert's "Trout" piano quintet A major, and feel it come back as the reel is slowly wound up bring the catch back to the purveyor as Earth moves around The Sun or The Moon turns the tides, it is Earth that spins by at the end of House Burning Down, its lips swinging by, gasping for air through a hole as you see it go by, gasping for breath asking "why?", Earth revealing itself as the Voodoo Chile, your Earth Mother reveals her self in The Universe she brings to you revolves infinitely explains the reasons for all the crosstalk you just heard crawling across town, rubber to the road when before that you were assured confidence in her arms of a Ladyland, you are submitted to this insult and injury, the Voodoo Chile, Mother Earth explains.

Oh, well, we meet again, woof woof, and we are in the apartment on 12th St., the rain still raining, there must be some way out of here, out of the ashes, don't be late, born out of the fire, rise from the ashes, un-tethered yo-yo comes loose, don't open that door, don't open that door, well,, that's the way it goes.

I k ow it's kinda different, but what about a couple of the bands early seventies albums like cahoots and rock of ages. Not as much guitar muddy blues on rocket fuel mixed with the rhythm of the best rastas, aka Marley toots, .
Mostly fantastic scripting, and a voice narration to be envied. Still, nine minutes in and you've told me what both the album and its signature song charted three time. Department of redundancy dept. Still, good stuff. I'll watch the rest.

Didn't jimi prefer jack Cassidy for bass o. Blues based numbers because he was totally into the fiour string bass ,not a frustrated guitar player like redding always trying to stretch out on bass which is what you don't want on a blues number
@@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW I wasnt referring to the nude cover shot of Electric Ladyland but ALL the other pics where you purposely do it for some lame artistic effect!💩
Critics back then were stupid as hell & though they had Jimi pegged but i can't think of anyone i knew who ever bothered with them we heard Jimi & it was all good & not the silly ass crap they wrote about him & the music. We had no use for them then or now. They pretty much were all lost & thire reviews show it like the full moon. Dummies even gave the ladies that posed for the cover crap , I don't know how many if any of these so called critics even played music so how can they tell you it's good or bad as that's up to us . At least these days we have critics that are musicians , some of them anyway.
Fair enough my friend! I would simply remind you that EL is Jimi's last studio work, while BoG was live. Despite Jimi's criticism of the mastering process associated with EL, he was proud of the work, while if I remember correctly, he was unhappy with BoG which only came to life due to the legal requirement to provide an album to Capitol Records. I do enjoy it though! Cheers!
@@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW I agree with you, totally! I do believe, that Hendrix would have been gratified with the much later reviews of that "different" live album...Many reviewers regard the BOG era as being the beginnings of "Funk-Rock", later explored by people like George Clinton.
Electric Ladyland was not Jimi's best album by a long shot. Are You Experienced was a far better album especially when you combine the UK and US versions. The recording equipment at the Record Plant was not as good as Olympic studios. The tape machines at Olympic used wider tape then the Record Plant giving more headroom. You can hear how cramped the overall sound EL has and that is the disappointment because you know it could have sounded bigger if they used the Olympic equipment. 1983 is not as good as any song on AYE neither is the Voodoo Chile jam session. His first two albums were very disciplined. The best song on EL is Still Raining Still Dreaming.
@@kabiam Jimi himself did say that the running order was purposeful..."It is not just slopped together..." Later on though, he said of that album, that it was just "where we were, where we have been". He mentioned that his friend Miles Davis felt the same way, about his own previous works.

Electric Ladyland was not Jimi's best album by a long shot. Are You Experienced was a far better album especially when you combine the UK and US versions. The recording equipment at the Record Plant was not as good as Olympic studios. The tape machines at Olympic used wider tape then the Record Plant giving more headroom. You can hear how cramped the overall sound EL has and that is the disappointment because you know it could have sounded bigger if they used the Olympic equipment. 1983 is not as good as any song on AYE neither is the Voodoo Chile jam session. His first two albums were very disciplined. The best song on EL is Still Raining Still Dreaming.
I think you simply prefer a more disciplined approach to music.
Hey my friend, at the end of the day, everyone had their favorite, for whatever reasons, and that's fantastic! It's all great. Thank you sharing that!

LOL!!!

It not very cohesive, and as a whole album, it sort of a mis mash.
🤣🤣
@@bartrobinson2103 It's an experience. Kind of meant to be heard while high although not necessarily
@kabiam I've been listening to it both high and sober for forty years. It's a masterpiece in my opinion.
@@bartrobinson2103 Yes it is.
@@kabiam Jimi himself did say that the running order was purposeful..."It is not just slopped together..." Later on though, he said of that album, that it was just "where we were, where we have been". He mentioned that his friend Miles Davis felt the same way, about his own previous works.
