    I was at Golden Gate Park 2 years in a row 66 & 67 @ Summers of Love, but was an observer, as i was attending a Christian Conference with my Notre Dame Academy All Girls' High School Sodality!
    Missed the Jefferson Airplane because we left early. I was raised by nuns & classical piano...my mom bought me a coat with a fox collar years before i heard Foxy Lady! My favorite Hendrix song?
    With the power of soul
    All things are possible...
    Years and 5 children later, i had a musician boyfriend who got to play the 2nd wah wah
    peddle Jimi ever built, owned by his friends on Olympic peninsula...it was built of wood!

    I was a huge metalhead as a teen when I first heard Hendrix, listened to him a little bit, dubbed Jimi Plays Monterey & his movie, but the tape sat & collected dust. I'll just say I was having an "extraordinary" night, Pink Floyd's The Wall was my usual go to when having these, but I wanted something different that evening. So I go into my tape collection & pull out Montery, mind blown like never before or since, it was like watching it for the first time, & I never heard music the same way again. That's a moment I'll always treasure, just as I treasure Jimi's contribution to music & life in general. He's been my favorite ever since, & I can't see that changing. Thank you for these videos, still learning about the Legend...

      Did sir Paul say it wouldn't truly be "international" unless Jimi performed? Does he (and the British in general) really think that because Jimi first made it big in England, that it means that Jimi is British and is NOT an American?? Did I misunderstand? I guess, at that time, Jimi was only big in England, not America. So in that respect, he was a rock star, and an American - who was not a rock star in America - yet. That's what they're implying, I suppose.

      Honestly...Jimi's stage machinations were amazing...but his actual playing was just so-so, for him! Witnesses have said that Hendrix had ingested several drugs, prior to taking the stage. And I think that has something to do with his ragged playing. There are quite few live performances, in which Jimi played much better, than at Monterey.

    At the end here it becomes apparent that the experience might never have happened. Mitch says some guy who asked for a strawberry told him to open his hands and then this guy places ... a LOT of Owsley acid in them and Mitch puts them in his pocket. Melt? Yes, it has happened...and the results would've ended in a psych ward. I only had Owsley once and it was Whoosh. Clean but mind-blowing. Still, if they melted Mitch would not only have been out of it for the show but as Journey to the Center of Your Mind lyrics warn, "You might not come back." Whew. Monterey exploded into theatres and even in 1972-shockingly-they showed it in the gymnasium when I was a freshman. There were Midnight showings where 1/2 of your school was in line and smoking weed in and out of the theater for this and Woodstock until the parents and cops figured it out. No play on radio and then FM radio came to light and played whole album sides. But for the most part Monterey is where it blew up and started.

      Yea ..Peter Grant he was great. Just about killed one of Bill Graham's production managers in Oakland over nothing. One of the violent things that asshole was involved with.Just a big pig. ..... Hendrix would have hated someone like Peter Grant .. Mike Jeffrey had his faults, like wanting to keep Hendrix playing to pay the bills & his investments. But overall he served Jimi pretty well. ..........And
      Hendrix died of chocking on his vomit. He took too many very powerful sleeping pills. He also had a problem when sleeping on his back. Fayne Pridgen & other woman tell of having to wake him up sometimes because he couldn't breath when sleeping. He was also doing lots of drugs at that time & I believe trying to cut down. So his body was vulnerable. ...And yes he had lots of stress. He was thinking about changing mgrs, not sure about the future. Worried about Billy Cox who was having psychological episodes,( probably dosed wth LSD), & had to go back to the states. Some concerts had to be cancelled..Just lots of pressure.

And for sure, Jeffery did NOT have anything to do with Jimi's death. Hendrix was ultimately the victim of his own impulsiveness--that, ironically, had worked so well for him during his Life journey. He embraced taking chances, living on the edge, etc. Sadly, he made a negligent choice with the sleeping pills--he death was his own fault!

    The “Strangers In The Night” bit got me thinking… Joe Perry, the Aerosmith lead guitarist would often play this bit at the end of Train Kept A Rollin’ at concerts. He ADORED Jimi…and this REALLY shows on an obscure tune from his first JPP solo album from 1980. The song titled Break Song, is (in my opinion) not only is a showcase for Joe’s immense guitar prowess talent, but I feel that if Jimi were among the living he’d most certainly give this thing a THUMBS UP! Please seek out this short little boogie tune and play it LOUD. It’s so awesome please trust me. The guitar leads are just SOARING…loud n proud!

    Interesting how "Rock" music became a separate genre from "Pop" music about this year (1967). It always made me curious why so many ROCK bands performed at a POP music festival, until I finally researched it when I got my first computer - so many years ago. Look up Pop Music and Rock Music. (Wikipedia is currently at it again. Get ready for that familiar money pitch if you go there.)

    I didn't know this... Jimi hadn't intended to burn his guitar. It was only because he lost casting lots (drawing straw?) with Pete Townshend and had to go on after the Who. I guess he just happened intended to burn it before THAT, but after losing THEN he DID intend to burn it. Otherwise why did he just happen to have lighter fluid handy?

    Real good. Let me put some filler in therefor you. The Grateful Dead played after the Who and before The Experience. Even by the Dead's own admission their performance was not very good. Also, the Beach Boys didn't play for one, fear that their music wouldn't stand up to the new music, and two, and probably most importantly, Carl Wilson was evading the draft and didn't want to get pinched at the festival.

    Great video, but let's see where we are all now in 2024. First off Hendrix was murdered, there is no question of this, prime suspect was his manager Jefferies, who even confessed to it in a book by Hendrix roadie in 2009. Secondly, "Sir" Paul Mcartney is not the original McCartney having been replaced in late 1966. They (British bands at the time including The Who) knew this and know this to this day, if any are still alive. Third, we all know about the San Francisco scene and the American musicians at the time (weird scenes at Laurel Canyon) So the question remains, are we learning about how corrupt and fucked up this fascinating period of music history really was? Jefferies, Hendrix Manager, was a terrorist, served in the British Army and killed people, he may of even killed the people on the plane he was meant to have been on in 1973 I think where alledegly he was killed? You just can't make it up!!!!
