Jimi was like an alien that dropped in out of nowhere. He changed rock music with his style and style of playing. Nobody had ever heard sound like that out of a guitar before. RIP you magical genius.
@@L33Reacts Around 1978, I was at a friend's house and we were having a party. A number of us were doing acid. His older brother had a reel-to-reel machine with a tape in it, and we played it. It had this performance on it, and the studio version of Little Wing. As a young wannabe rock star I had a semi-religious experience. One thing that may not be so obvious to non-guitarists, but this is just a gorgeous example of the tone of a Strat into a Marshall stack, turned up loud. It's just the warmest, fattest tone, full of grinding harmonics, particularly the way he played which has a lot of double stops and suspensions. And he's using the volume and playing dynamics to control it very well. As to the playing with the teeth, behind the head, behind the back, neither Jimi also stole those. Those types of things were part of the show in a lot of the chitlin circuit soul and R&B bands of the time, and Jimi played as a backup musician in a bunch of those.
Great job! You have a very refined ear. listening to both Jimi and Mitch at the same time and offering a very detailed critique is very cool. With Hendrix's leads, rythm and imbelishments and mitches blast beats with bass and snare, theres an awful lot going on there. Great job on your commentary!
Yesterday was the 54th anniversary of when Jimi left this world, and he's still the greatest !! In Monterey, , at the end of his show and at the end of the song " WILD THING ", he famously burned his guitar , you could react to that :)
Growing up in his hometown, I still remember a kid coming into gym class and telling us of his death that day. Poor kid almost got the stuffing beat out of him
Over the years, I've listened and watched a lot of Jimi Hendrix. Because of that over exposure, we have a tendency to take Hendrix for granted, but back then, keep in mind, what he was doing with a guitar was all new. The Fender and Gibson had only been in production ten-fifteen years by the time Jimi hit the scene, and no one was doing anything with the guitar like he did. One of the OG shapers and influencers of early rock 'n' roll.
4:16.. "Jimi what are you doing"??....playing a superb burning solo with his teeth showing everyone why he's the greatest electric guitar player that's ever lived. T- Bone Walker played behind his head , between his legs doing a prefect split and others played with their teeth but never like the way Hendrix did. good reaction very insightful young man.👍
I went directly to the Monterey Pop Festival from playing my high school graduation party. We thought Jimi was a solo folk artist. He tore a big fat hole in the time space continuum. The entire gig was perfect. No hassles at all. I ate a cheeseburger at one of the picnic tables with Mama Cass, Brian Jones, and Pig Pen from the Dead. The stars and yahoos hanging out together. It changed everything.
YOU have gotta be on of thee luckiest people on this planet,to walk this Earth. Wow! What a gift, you had of being there. stay groovy, stay free, as Jimi would say ! peace Brother.
For some reason Hey Joe always reminds me of depression era songs my mother used to play and sing. Like Frankie and Johnny, or Lay that Pistol Down, Babe.
We who followed music and the music press read about an "amazing" English guitarist, but knew nothing about him except the name "Jimi Hendrix". We curious watched for more information about him, but he remained a rumor in the background. See his Monterey performance of "Like a Rolling Stone".
I always love lives from the Monterey Pop Festival because they have the best sound. What a magician Jimi was, another gone to soon. Thanks Lee for finding just the right one, and for the great reaction. Blessings all.
Might be the all time best live performance by a guitarist ever IMO. Jimi was the trailblazer that stormed the gates and busted through the doors of rock music. RIP the GOAT!
Lol, true Jimi signature moves, I remember them so well, chompin gum, playing behind his head and the teeth !!! Someone stole my album at a party, I was devastated, til I found another!!! 😅🎉❤🎉
There still isn’t a sound quite like Jimi!! It’s staggering to think how many virtuoso players came out of the 60s and 70s especially! Not to mention the lyrical content, arrangements, production, harmonies, a distinct sound and style that is uniquely their own. All you need is to hear 3 notes of Hendrix, Zeppelin or Skynyrd and one instantly knows it’s them!! It was groundbreaking and unmatched !!! I grew up in the 70s and just the incredible. variety, quality and quantity that was on the radio and Stereo airwaves was endless. Even your top 40 commercial music was incredible. Throw in deep cuts off album oriented FM rock stations and you were inundated with a tremendous 30 year run from the early 60s to the early 80s . I believe peaking in the 70s! I don’t know what happened after that but I believe the advent of Synth pop, hair bands, rap music and MTV was the beginning of the end!!! The music today and I use that term music cynically and bitterly! it is bankrupt , lyrically, musically and structurally it lacks feel, emotion, heart and depth. It’s shallow and very weak! Yes of course their were some real good bands over the past 40 years but as far as the avalanche of talent we saw in the 60s,70s and parts of the 80s will NEVER be reached or touched AGAIN!! Even the big band, bebop and jazz music from decades prior to the 60s was legendary. True musicians and innovators!!! It’s a sad state of affairs with the crapola people think is good music today!!! WTF HAPPENED???
You're coming around to understand so many things regarding Jimi, and it's great to see. Mind blowing levels of style/fashion/swag, musicianship, showmanship, innovation, captivation and influence that you can't escape 50 years later. Its hard to imagine how to take it further. Maybe there will never be another conceptual leap so far forward, it's impossible to imagine until someone does it. He was a nexus of humanity.
Jimi said if he was going to follow The Who he was going to pull out all the stops! And he did, culminating in setting his guitar on fire at the end of Wild Thing!! Incredible performance at Monterey.
The producers of The Monterey Pop Festival (Lou Adler and John Philips) asked Paul McCartney if he could recommend a new act to play at the festival and he recommended Hendrix. Brian Jones introduced him to the crowd.
One of his very best live performances, he was one of a few bands at that festival that made a huge impression there and became huge stats at the beginning of the Summer of Love. Do his entire set there when you can, well worth it. Enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎶🔥
As a teenager, myself and a group of friends heard this song and within a few weeks had formed a Hard Rock band - this was the first song we attempted. I know, ambitious!
The look on your face , Lee when he started playing with his teeth. Priceless! And yes, youcan really see where Stevie Ray gets it from. Just wait till you see when Jimi sets his guitar on fire on stage.
What a treat! Love it…We get to see Jimi in action! A good one, Lee… That can’t be good for his teeth!…. OMG It still sounds good, though… After listening to the Jimi and Buddy Miles performance, Mitch’s drumming is a little too busy for me. I thought the two performances were a great set. Thank you, Lee and Andy!
Older blues guitarists before Jimi did tricks like playing the guitar behind their backs etc. So, jimi was honoring blues tradition plus innovating at the same time.
Carnaby Street fashion in London was the height of style in ‘67. Jimi shopped there regularly and loaded up before returning to the US. Another thing he influenced in the day.
I feel so lucky to have been around to watch rock & roll develop from the 1964 British Invasion through the LA gathering of talent and mind blowing folkrock explosion, and the singer-songwriter bounty that filled the airwaves . This festival was maybe the most important stop along the road.
In fact there was a famous example of those guitar acrobatics before Jimi. T Bone Walker - very cool. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Hendrix fan and this performance is a classic. It's what launched him his own country after he found fame here in the UK.
June 16, 17, 18 < a Friday, Saturday and Sunday. My wife and I were married on Saturday the seventeenth - 57 years ago. I have zero clue where in hell all that time went. We were young in '67, now we're 'old' - I'll be 79 next week on the 25th, my wife turns 80 on December 12th. Oh, btw, Hendricks was a friggin' beast! Incredible guitarist, didn't live beyond 26 years. I prefer being married to the same lady for 57 years. I guess we did something right.
Blues legends for decades had played with their teeth, behind their back, etc., etc., before Jimi or SRV as part of their acts. They were both playing that way as tribute to blues legends that came before. They knew they stood on the shoulders of giants.
Excellent reaction with the best video quality with shots not found in others. Check out Midnight from Jimi's War Heroes CD for a unmatched tour de force of guitar painting pictures telling stories and he's playing.
I'm old enough to remember this when it happened, also with Woodstock 2 years later,......... No one like Jimi! I was in a local Rock Band in the 1970's, we covered a number of Hendrix songs, Purple Haze, Fire, Foxy Lady. The other guitar player in the band was named Jimmy and he started spelling it Jimi!
Criterion is responsible for the clean remaster o' Monterey Pop the film. They released it as multiple disc box sets on dvd 'n blu-ray includin' many outtakes 'n unreleased performances. I highly recommend The Jimi Hendrix Experience Live At Monterey- a separate disc which includes all o' the footage from his historic performance as well as a plethora o' fantastic bonus material, a must for all Hendrix fans.
Ernie Isley of the Isley brothers. Jimi player guitar for the Isley brothers in the early 60s.... Before he became famous. Jimi was the Goat and will always be the Goat I believe! Awesome 💯💯✌️👍
Loved watching another Hendrix reaction! And the best part is that there is so much more Hendrix to discover! Another guitar player that was totally influenced by Hendrix was Frank Marino...don't know if you've done any reactions to him but if you haven't, definitely check him out, he's amazing!
I have read that Jimi picked up the stunts of playing behind your head and with your teeth when he was playing the chitlin' circuit with the Isley Brothers, Little Richard, Curtis Knight and others. You had to find a way to stand out and make a lasting impression.
@@jnagarya519 Of course, these kinds of things always go back a long, long way. I just meant that it was when Jimi learned to do those things. Also, I've realised Curtis Knight was working from New York and probably not on that southern circuit.
All that fantastics drummers of the 60-70 era like Ginger Baker, Mitch Mitchell , Clive Bunker , Keith Moon , Charlie Watts , Carl Palmer and so many others had inspiration on Jazz drummers like Joe Morello , Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich. They did well of course.
Actually, one of my favorite things about Hey Joe is the bass guitar line. Next time you listen to this, focus a lot on the bass line and you will find that it is such an important part of the song. It's really melodic, and it adds just the right amount of extra motion into the feel of the song.
Check out his Stratocaster, he's playing it upside down, like he had to teach himself to do as a 9-year-old kid in Seattle, because he's a lefty, and dad bought him a cheap Sears Bargain Basement guitar, for right handers as most guitars are. He's fricking amazing.
If you get a chance, check out the whole movie. I recently saw it in a theater in Tokyo. It's mind blowing. Unfortunately, the crowd didn't know what we make of Jimi. They just sat there gobsmacked while he smashed and burned his guitar.
Jimi is to the guitar what Beatles was to song writing - geniuses. (And SRV actually went to Jimi´s mother asking permission to play his songs, that´s what I´ve heard.)
Young, intense, nervous - looking to make an impression on his homeland after it ignored before he left for England less than a year before this return to the USA
SRV absolutely IDOLIZED Jimi. Stevie doing things like playing behind his back is just sheer tip-of-the hat and homage and camaraderie towards Jimi. I've heard this a billion times and I've seen it before several times, but once again, I truly got goosebumps just taking it all in. After learning about him for years and playing in bands for years, in different roles on different instruments, and with some really great band mates, it's just fascinating what they were able to do with three people back in that time, and how groundbreaking and influential it was on so many levels. And seeing your reaction to it was also part of the experience for sure. And audio on this is great! So is the video. Good find. And I listen all the time to UA-cam uploads without a whole lot of views if it is something that really fits the bill for what I am trying to find. I'm just grateful that somebody did it. I have a deep and abiding love for Jimi.
Yamo say you gotta check out The Who's incendiary performance o' My Generation from The Monterey Pop Festival. The crowd were not prepared for what went down on stage 'n stared in disbelief when it ended. You also wanna see The Jimi Hendrix Experience close out their Monterey show with Wild Thing. Jimi decided to get wild after The Who's antics that night.
Have you watched the entire "Documentary Film of The Monterey Pop Festival in 1967? I know it's on UA-cam. The Who, Janis Joplin, The Byrds, Eric Burden and many more. It's great, and it was 2 years before Woodstock. This era was right in in the heart of the "Classic Rock" era.
In some states it's illegal to get hold of yourself! This is I believe the second most played Hendrix on classic radio. All Along the Watchtower is first.
I particularly liked the way he played the solo just like the single but with his teeth! I think you did "Like a Rolling Stone" already but not sure if you did the video. Also from this set are "Rock Me Baby" and "Foxey Lady" - he started with "Killing Floor" and ended with "Wild Thing".
The? 2 biggest and the 2 most important concerts of all time for our generation, and that was Monterey pops. And of course the biggie Woodstock. They were more than concerts or more than festival. They helped shape the music that was just starting and what we lived and died for for about 6 to 8 years.
So, I'll gladly duck the rocks, but after some research, this is what Jimi said (being the humble gentleman, gifted artist he is he saw it in another "Hey Man Listen Rory Gallagher was the best guitar player l ever heard" This sounds like Jimi... love him ❤️🎸
It's thanks to Mccartney that Jimi got this gig ;) ... Also you'd LOVE Jimi Hendrix - Hear my train Acoustic version ( Which is filmed ) . Also Power to love live at the filmore ( Same concert as Machine Gun ;) )
Jimi wanted the experience to have two guitarists so Noel turned up for the season but Chas Chandler didn't like that idea so he said to Noel can you play bass and he said I'll have a go, so that was how things went.
Fun fact: after Monterey, the Experience went on a US tour as an opening act of a band that really admired Jimi: The Monkees!
I bet a lot of ghe teen-10:14 aged girls that were Monkres fans had nightmares for weeks afterwards!
Jimi was like an alien that dropped in out of nowhere. He changed rock music with his style and style of playing. Nobody had ever heard sound like that out of a guitar before. RIP you magical genius.
RIP indeed. I recorded 2 videos for him on the Anniversary of his death BY ACCIDENT… so weird. Must have been meant to be.
That was almost 60 years ago yet he could show up today and still be the coolest kid in the world

Jimi's the only one I've ever seen chew gum and sing at the same time. He was truly unique.
steel heart shes gone unplugged cant believe he can chew gum and sing like that oh and Greg lake in the beginning
John Lennon used to sing and chew gum.
While most modern musicians (?) can’t walk and chew gum without Auto Tune helping out

JImi sets his guitar on fire at Monterey during Wild Thing.

Picture yourself back in 1967 and watching Jimi Hendrix on stage with the Experience of course for the very first time
You’re right Lee. Monterey was the start of a truly transformation in music. The best of times !!!!
ANOTHER transformation after a series of them beginning in 1964 on February 9, 1964 "Ed Sullivan" with "The Beatles".
As a teenager, myself and a group of friends heard this song and within a few weeks had formed a Hard Rock band - this was the first song we attempted. I know, ambitious!

Amazing and memorable .. what a performance!

And seeing your reaction to it was also part of the experience for sure. And audio on this is great! So is the video. Good find.
And I listen all the time to UA-cam uploads without a whole lot of views if it is something that really fits the bill for what I am trying to find. I'm just grateful that somebody did it.
I have a deep and abiding love for Jimi.
Vaugn was COPYING Hendrix.
And there were several other copycats after Hendrix died.
Jimi can chew gum, sing, and play guitar all at the same time!
Yamo say you gotta check out The Who's incendiary performance o' My Generation from The Monterey Pop Festival. The crowd were not prepared for what went down on stage 'n stared in disbelief when it ended. You also wanna see The Jimi Hendrix Experience close out their Monterey show with Wild Thing. Jimi decided to get wild after The Who's antics that night.
18 september it was 54 years ago that he died. A great loss in every way. ❤️❤️🎶🎸🎸
Monterey was my first concert experience.
The best , genius 😂❤ooooh yess
Prince lifted elements from the final minute of that performance (ala "Let's go Crazy" from the Purple Rain movie)
The "Rubber Soul of the sixties". That's a good one.
Hah thank you I figured it was appropriate. That’s a good phrase to use for “turning point” if you want to sound culturally hip LOL 😂
Excellent choice thanks. You should try Jimi's version of Wild Thing at Monterey - the famous 'sacrifice'.
The first guitarist to play with his teeth was the lead guitarist from the Paupers in 1964.
Jimi was the coolest!!
Have you watched the entire "Documentary Film of The Monterey Pop Festival in 1967? I know it's on UA-cam. The Who, Janis Joplin, The Byrds, Eric Burden and many more. It's great, and it was 2 years before Woodstock. This era was right in in the heart of the "Classic Rock" era.
Yes. The Byrds also performed "Hey Joe", but their version was pretty lame. From the stage David Crosby mentions Hendrix' version.
Teeth-playing was done by Jeff Healey as well, apparently taught to him from Stevie Ray Vaughan..
Wardrobe inspired by his former boss, Little Richard
🖤🖤🖤
In some states it's illegal to get hold of yourself! This is I believe the second most played Hendrix on classic radio. All Along the Watchtower is first.
Before there was a Prince or SRV there was Jimi.
I want to be Jimi Hendrix too, we all did. He was that kind of influential.
U really buy, borrow , steal, or hope for that kind of coolness and chrisma. U got it, or you don't. What a talent .Not to mention very handsome ❤🎉
I particularly liked the way he played the solo just like the single but with his teeth! I think you did "Like a Rolling Stone" already but not sure if you did the video. Also from this set are "Rock Me Baby" and "Foxey Lady" - he started with "Killing Floor" and ended with "Wild Thing".
how to win friends and influence people, play guitar with teeth . jimi was my 1st concert and he did.🎸
You just have to react to Wild Thing by Jimi at Monterey it’s the best thing he did at that concert .Its fire !!!Literally
The?
2 biggest and the 2 most important concerts of all time for our generation, and that was Monterey pops. And of course the biggie Woodstock. They were more than concerts or more than festival. They helped shape the music that was just starting and what we lived and died for for about 6 to 8 years.
So, I'll gladly duck the rocks, but after some research, this is what Jimi said (being the humble gentleman, gifted artist he is he saw it in another
"Hey Man
Listen
Rory Gallagher was the best guitar player l ever heard"
This sounds like Jimi... love him ❤️🎸
Time stamp around 3:50 Jimi flirts with the audience to indicate what he's about to do on his guitar strings
It's thanks to Mccartney that Jimi got this gig ;) ... Also you'd LOVE Jimi Hendrix - Hear my train Acoustic version ( Which is filmed ) .
Also Power to love live at the filmore ( Same concert as Machine Gun ;) )
Jimi wanted the experience to have two guitarists so Noel turned up for the season but Chas Chandler didn't like that idea so he said to Noel can you play bass and he said I'll have a go, so that was how things went.
MM is a poor man's Ginger B. IMHO ✌️
