Happy 80th Hendrix, playing my CD copy of Electric Ladyland in your honour
Jimi is a True Mythical Legendary Being
he's not a myth - he was very real - and mortal
Thank God for Eddie Kramer...I think his work and friendship with Jimi produced some of the finest music ever recorded for Jimi !!
think chaz had more of an impact?
@@bri7757 no
@@bri7757 definitely NOT.
@@bri775766-67 yes
I don't think there was ever a better producer/musician combination in history. It's clear Jimi appreciated working with you and being your friend.
Jimi was a once in 500 year talent. He will be around as long as Bach.
Barbara?
Jimi was also a naive genius who walked into den of vampires who drained him and killed him.
Well said!
@@jpalberthoward9correct, as Jimi himself stated, on more than one occasion.
Well, once in a generation at least. There are some terrific guitar players working today, and much faster and cleaner than the older guys.
Props to Eddie Kramer and thank you for helping capture Jimi's magic on tape
Electric Lady Land - Every few months I have to binge listen to calm myself down & feel that everything in the world is awesome.
Man Eddie Kramer has worked with the best Hendrix, Zeppelin, Kiss, Frampton, just to name a few ✌️✌️🤟🤟👍👍👏👏
I was 15 when Jimi died and he was by far my biggest influence. Still, after all these years, the recording of "Hear My Train A-comin'" from Berkeley is the consummate Hendrix performance! Never paralleled!
I agree with you......for me the Berklee Hear My Train.....Machine Gun from the Fillmore.....
Johnny B. Goode rips the doors off at Berkeley
@@gavanhillebold3131 yes it does.....back to back at the first show...Johnny B.Goode followed by Hear My Train......absolutely unbelievable.....!!!!
I'm turning 20 this year and have been listening to Jimi for 4 years, how did you feel when he passed man, it upsets me so much that not only this giant of a guitar god and live peformer, but just the human James Marshall Hendrix wasn't here to grow old and expand his musical horizon and see the world change
@@nathanadnitt I'm 67... join da club!
Eddie Kramer couldnt have been a better man to be there to take over being Jimis sound guy. Jimi was blessed with Chandler, and then Kramer. And here he is , solid , genuine, God bless him
Jimi Hendrix "played bass on All Along The Watchtower". I never knew that. Noel Redding was drunk at a pub. Jimi's bass playing was flawless in the song. Amazing!
Noel got fed up with all the people hanging around and in the way. He pleaded with Jimi to get rid of them because they were a big distraction but Jimi wouldn't and then all of the numerous retakes so he had enough and left. I couldn't really blame him
@@JamesWilliams-ii7yv Ive never heard anything positive about Noels personality. Mitch Mitchell, positive for days! :)
@@6StringPsychedelic
Noel, cared about Jimi. Peephole 2day, miss dat FACT.
Mitch, wuz mo n tune, wit Jimi & his anticz, so he wuz da mo kool, of da 2 English bandmatez.
@@Einnor084wuz mo n tune? My god my brain Hurts Reading this and im not even an english speaking Native

Awww
POOR BABY.
Mediate & listen 2 binaural frequenciez.
Try 2 open ur 3rd eye, man!
I was fortunate enough to tour the Electric Lady studio just after John Kennedy Jr. died in his plane crash. The artwork that graces the walls in that place is pure Jimi- like the album artwork of Axis and Ladyland. No one was recording at the time and it was so cool to have access to the whole place. It was so easy to imagine being there on a night Jimi was recording with all the other musicians hanging out… .
My reason for being here is to sit in the middle of the shot while texting, drinking coffee and looking as bored as possible.
That's what the "union" run by the mafia did to America.
My FIRST impression. Fucking clueless, what an asshole.
It's almost like he thinks he's just on the radio.
..guy needs to find another job. Certainly doesn't know when there's a legend in the studio.
Maybe he’s their chauffeur.
This interviewer has a room temperature IQ. He does not build and develop the interviewee's response, he just drops the ball and goes back to reading from his itemized list of pre-written questions. Reminds me of the Beatles interviews "what's your favorite color?"
Yeah, I also like when he says he is big guitar guy, then proceeds to show us he knows nothing about a guitar. Then he tells Mr. Kramer to make sure he sees the Queen movie somewhere with a good sound system. Lmao!
Sadly, this seems to be what radio wants in an interviewer. Do an interview that, no matter how great the guest is, will sound like every other interview.
I've noticed this so much with radio DJs interviewing guest, they thrive off of hearing their own voice and seem to go into immediate withdrawals if more than a minute goes by without them speaking. A few months ago Robby Krieger was on a radio show and I swear the DJ didn't allow him to speak more than a few words, soon as he'd go into a great story the DJ would just interrupt and inject her own nonsense (mostly unrelated) and ruined so many great opportunities to hear Robby's stories and or replies.
It made me realize that it must take someone that absolutely loves the sound of their own voice to be a radio DJ, I mean it makes perfect sense.
It's that corporate vibe all over him
Electric ladyland is the absolute pinnacle of humanity captured onto tape
And it’s also the main reason why the 60s was the most important time for recorded music
There are many amazing records that have been made throughout history but electric ladyland is the absolute cream of the crop
I don’t believe their is such a thing as the best of all time with the exception of this album
The best 60's album is Hot Rats, sorry to be the bringer of bad news :)
@@andygreen9673 never cared for Zappa obviously a behemoth of talent no doubt just never connected to his music
@@andygreen9673 'Chunga's Revenge' was good too.
I've always maintained that Electric Ladyland was the greatest/most important recording of the 20th century in terms of songwriting, arrangement, performances engineering, production and just sheer artistry etc. Jimi was on the rise of his peak creativity at the time of recording EL and certainly laid down some of the most iconic Hendrix tunes we were able to hear. Just a great album from start to finish. Cheers P[>
EDDIE VAN HALEN was a virtuoso in his era but not on the level of jimi. Jimi spoke to the 60s generation in his guitar playing and through his soul. It was a real connection I was there and experienced this unusually deep spiritual direction rock albums were going
. It fueled the age of aquarius. And here comes jimi hendrix a special soul with destiny written all over him . He was the full package talent image mystique a bearer of incredible soundscapes never before possible He truly eclipsed anybody else on the scene. If you were there you probably know what I mean. Even the straights the middle class types like my parents saw that he radiated an energy . He go respect because he put out great records. He was an unlikely candidate for woodstock generation icon. He connected with the
power or portals opening up at that stage of the sixties. This was no average guitar player . He channeled a new colorful amplified psychedelic guitar rock. How he
was able to step up and become the artist he became is hard to get your head around. I guess to be given so much talent much is required in return. He burned himself out past the breaking point and still sustained creativity right up until the end.
For years Jimmy had to be people's back up session player, then when he got a chance to take the lead he exploded with ideas. It makes total sense.
he paid his dues - without those experiences he wouldn't be who he became
you know when he mentioned that I agree, I think it really explains a lot. It may actually be the key to who he became. It's possible if he went a different route to a music career his music and direction could have been a lot different.
Love listening to Eddie Kramer. His memory is so vivid.
Eddie's such a likable guy, such a vivid and relaxed mind
The Best sound engineer of all time !!!!!!........thats all !!
I recall when you could actually listen to Electric Ladyland on UA-cam.
Those were the days..... apples still grew on trees, sex was filthy and the air was clean, wood was still made of trees, your parents were brother and sister, you had to walk 5 hours to get cola, etc.
Yup..and you could watch great movies for free..
I think the Hendrix estate nixed UA-cam. Plenty on Vimeo, though! :-)
Janie Hendrix put the kabash to that, it’s all about money with her. Just ask Jimi’s brother Leon
@@gavanhillebold3131 She's dumber than a brick.
Author Charles Cross wrote the most in Depth Book on Jimi Hendrix Titled "Room full of Mirrors." He Researched Family, Friends, Musicians, Guitar Players, Groups Hendrix played with, Record producers and Sound Engineers like Eddie Kramer. Jimi was particular about Guitar Set Ups having encountered Intonation problems from off the Rack Guitars. Jimi would Flip Right Handed Stratocasters Upside Down, Switch the Saddles on The Bridge so the 6th Saddle was on Top not Bottom, Remove the Right Handed Nut at the Headstock and put on a Left Handed Nut so The.Fat 6th String was on Top not Bottom. Jimi would also File the Now Top Part of the Frets that used to be the Bottom. He also had an Electronic Tech Modifying his off the Shelf Pedals and Servicing his Marshall Amps.
The ONLY Man who could capture John Bonham's True Sound. Bonzo redlined mic's with the way he layed into the drums, and using his noggin Eddie figured out perfectly how to record the beast! Thanks for that.
🇨🇦👊🏻👨🏻🏭✨💖
Look at Eddie's hands. He's still moving the knobs =)
Reminds of an interview with stevie wonder where he talks about an artist who passed away. And while he's talking, he's playing the ground chords for the melody of his voice.
Good to hear Kramer and McDermott tell their stories as it was. These guys lived it and breathed it , can't get closer to the inner thoughts of Jimmy,
"You got to tell the children the truth they don't need a whole lot of lies. Because one of these days, baby, they'll be running things. So when you give them love you better give it right" Jimi Hendrix
Those who love spread truth. Those who hate spread lies. Those who hate and created a world swimming in a sea of lies murdered the body but they can’t kill the spirit of Jimi’s message and love that lives on within many forever. The haters who murder rock stars are the same haters who murder kings and presidents. It's an unnatural thing to be a Rock star and one of many illusions presented to the duped masses as “success”. Rock stars don't make themselves famous they are made famous quickly and unnaturally. And in return for being made famous they are under obligation, knowingly or unknowingly, to cooperate with those who made them famous. And those who made them famous believe that they have the right to make them even more famous by murdering them if they don't cooperate.
True success is to see what they don’t want you to see and to learn what they don’t want you to know before you pass. The most truthful and forbidden documentary ever published has been taken down from theirtube countless times since its 2017 release: "Europa The Last Battle". Watch and share the full 10-part series at archive-dot-org while you still can!
Good of them to give so much credit to Chas Chandler.
He was an astute fellow.
@@robertdownes793Are you just disguising your opinion? Fuck what anyone says, Chas Chandler took the biggest gamble bringing Hendrix to London and starting his career.
@@bassinblue I don't know how much of a gamble it was. Chas was no fool and he knew what he had in Jimi. He saw what a lot of people in the states didn't see. Mismanaged his career? He was the best thing for Jimi at the time.
Chas Chandler did his part of the legend perfectly. Got Jimi out of the USA where there was too much racial prejudice, paid his trip to London... introduced Jimi to Eric Clapton and the swinging London scene. Chas was the kick starter for Jimi’s career. Onward!
@@robertdownes793 Actually had it not been for the once beautiful Linda Keith we may not have ever heard of Jimi. She's the one who introduced Chas to Hendrix. So let's give her the #1 props here.
@@bassinblue Chas didn't consider it a gamble at all. He kept pinching himself because he couldn't believe he wasn't dreaming and he couldn't believe how lucky he was, matter of fact he knew that with Jimi he had hit the mfn lottery. That's the REAL truth, I know, I was there.
No one worked as hard as Jimi
Electric lady land an Eddie Kramer masterpiece . Jimmy 's finest work absolutely love this album in nineteen seventy I was 8 years old when I heard this album my uncle was going to Vietnam and he took me for a ride in his Corvette to say goodbye to me and explained he might not come back but I remember this eight track he was playing the electric lady land while we were driving around and visiting some of his friends before he went of to fight in Vietnam thankfully he made it back alive and thanks for turning me on to good music 🎶
~ Jimi, not "Jimmy."
Stellar album. Top5. I tripped so many times to it.
Haaaa !!! Me too !!
Eddie - "thats why jimi yelled at mitch..." Interviewer "Yeah....so..." and changes topic! Kramer is about to give you gold but you don't take any of the leads Eddie is throwing ya! Ask him more about that!
Honestly
Later he finished it. Jimi wanted to play bass on a track, so Noel got pissed and went to the pub.
Whutchoo talking bout, Willis?!?
Uh....
U haveta do a blog.
Earn sum credentialz.
Do da nterview wit Eddie Kramer.
SHOW US HOW ITZ DONE, BABY!!!
@@colorblindfred Mitch is the drummer not the bass player
@@Einnor084 Doesn't change the fact
Tantalising. I'd love to hear Dave Mason talking about Watchtower.
Great interview. Eddie doing John Lennons voice was spot on. lol
I just love Eddies humble attitude, Nice
I was fortunate enough to hear both Eddie's and John's interviews on the syndicated Blues Deluxe radio show. Wish those were still available, somewhere!
Thanks for correcting
where the album,
Electric Ladyland was recorded in England.
Thank you Eddie and John, for your loving Hendrix support. Legends!
Eddie is a hero 💯👌
Kiss the Sky was a Re Mix by Kramer, as well. " Stepping Stone" was a song you could hear the surround sound rotating mix. They were really experimenting with the sound spectrum and stereo field, worth a listen
Interviewer super hyper. Guy in the background on life support. Blend them together and the energy in the room is just right.
Love to see randy Hansen the best jimi Hendrix tribute ever
I saw and met rsndy back maybe 1986. I was hendrix fan and guitarist by that time. Hendrix was still revered itt hadn't been that long since he left us. Randy was out doing his tribute shows I mean he was much younge and put a well played shoe. I remember being blown away by a seriously good rendition of jimi star SPANGLED banner. I was fortunate enough to run into him at the NAMM SHOW in LA
I got to tell him how impressed me and my friend were seeing him do star SPANGLED banner so off the chart yeah the 80s were the best.
you are right !
Met eddie and he is a great guy and loves to talk about the musicians he has worked with.
I love Eddie....such an incredible resource to our species....🤘🏼❤️🔥
So happy these guys got together for this, thank you!! 🔥🙏🏻
so much enthusiasm. Love to hear these guys relate their experiences.
I am surprised at some people complaints, This is excellent, great stories coming directly from the horse's mouths about the very great Jimi Hendrix, Just think about this 1 man Jimi changed the worlds for every in many ways ( yes with the help of others) There are not many people in this world who have not heard of Jimi and his music
Great interview. Always fun hearing Eddies stories.
Great intervieWEE... but not a great interVIEW.
Fascinating. Kramer is a goldmine of info.
Eddie made The Hendrix sound on vinyl with the panning , His sound made me wonder how in hell do they do that , until I seen him at a mixing board working his magic in the making of Electric Ladyland films.
pan knob
@@smoore8807 actually not. First they did flange and phasing by pushing it here and there tape when it was going around!!
We have pan knobs nowadays because of what he was doing most likely@@smoore8807
Eddie Kramer is a real authentic professional who loved Jimi Hendrix, and helped nurture and develop his talent and musical production. Then the icing, was when he influenced Jimi to build a then, ultra fine Recording Studio in preference to a Night Club. A night club would yield money hinged on season and crowd, but a recording plant accepts all kinds of music professionals or amateurs, and the fundamental is, if you hire the studio, you pay, so long as it is in business. Thanks for your forethought Eddie Kramer, you're a rare genius in your realm and parameters of operation!
Electric lLady Land in my opinion was the best album ever produced!
'the first thing you have to do is get several pairs of underwear' 💘
Really insightful about Jimi and those days of recording. I have never heard any of this and loved hearing more about Hendrix's style and approach - thank you!
That surround style is what Id like to do myself. Been fascinated with the quadraphonic that never was since childhood.
to be honest my fav jimi album is band of gipsys against all this recording details there was magic on that night the album was recorded
I finally decided which is 'probably' my favorite hendrix album. The Cry of Love should be it. But it almost impossible to tell. Purple Haze isnt on it, Spanish Castle Magic isnt on it...etc.. But...
Actually it was recorded during 3 consecutive different shows at the Filmore East.
It remains of my favorites Hendrix tone and control of his guitar sound is so great . The track POWER OF SOUL unleashes a long solo intro where every note seems to be 🙄 in place.. takes my breath away. Not to mention MACHINE GUN where again HENDRIX shows mastery
like no other
I'm still trying to find Hear My Train a'Comin' from that concert. I think it was from Band of Gypsies II. First song, side A. Best version of that song. I bought the album in '87 and now I don't know where it is and it's not on UA-cam anymore. Someone help me. I'm having withdrawal symptoms.
@@houstonrebel4449 band of gypsys II ?? I thought that was on the WOODSTOCK soundtrack. That's a mean live tune by the way. R.I.P. HENDRIX
Thank you #eddiekramer 👍👍
Eddie Kramer and John McDermott's books are amazing..i highly recommend all 4.
This is a cool radio station, I don't live in America but I'm going to start listening more.
Great interview and the coolest stories! Glad it's on here! Thanks. I feel like I know Eddie Kramer.
i especially like the dude in blue checking out his mobile.....
Check out 7:40 he's literally more interested in his coffee cup than this story
That’s about right these days
This is great! I love jimi and haven't heard some of these stories
Ladyland is the greatest album of that era! It’s jimis best!! One killer record! What an engineer! Good job
Appreciate the time you guys all spent on this interview. Peace.
THANK YOU - THIS IS EPIC !!!!
i loved this when i was a kid
Good interview and smooth interactions between all 3.
Nice....
Great stuff
Classic stuff!
AWESOME
Dude in the back looks like he's falling asleep LOL
Amazing stories
Excellent
11-9-19 I'm there Can't wait What a treat Finally the real deal 😁
Legend
Guy in the blue shirt could not look more bored. He's probably a Kenny G fan or something.
Ha ha!!! .my dentist plays that shit all the time. I finally begged him no more Kenny G because I can't take it. One time he actually put on KISS. That was way cool
EXCELLENT ! :)
I spent countless hours fucking up my life, being totally stoned out listening to 1983/Moon, Turn the Tides. This album is outrageously good. Absolutely the best Hendrix Album. I mean it has All Along The Watchtower on it. It has Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) on it. C'mon Man, nothing like it.
More of a journey/experience 😊. But Axis for me - you can just play it right through
all that stuff is cool, but band of gypsys to me is what i listened to as medicine for years. i wouldn't say its as good musically or in terms of sound, but it just has a raw energy to it
...rushing thru things ... I remember .... ok, good vid gave it all at the time💕
thank you!!
The father's of rock will never die.........💀
Eddie Kramer......what an era
I need to meet these guys
My parents had every single animals record I listen to him while I loved Eric Burdon and the Animals and I Love Jimi Hendrix and I play guitar now and drums
kool interview and iv got to get that boxs set
I heard 2 track live takes of Hendrix in a studio that some engineer from New York had stuffed in a bag. you can imagine how many different engineers were in out of those studios who had taken things.
Good to know. It’s just that in the lists of top drummers, one seldom sees his name up there with Baker, Bonhom, etc.
This should show the footage of the current Electric Lady Studio. Which top 10 hits have been recorded there, in the past 50 years (if any)?
It's alleged that JImi's arrangement of All Along The Watchtower came from The Alan Bown's version. Jimi saw them it play at The Marquee Club in London.
Always rumors in the music world.Everyone could get a piece by starting some kind of rumor.What a game.Musicians are great liers(ah storytellers)😇
I can't imagine what Eddie went through when Jimi died 😟
The guy in the background.Thats his job?Hold a cup of coffee?
Robert Dawson He was the best part of the interview. He read that cup a dozen times.
He's also holding a phone at the same time...!
Robert Dawson He also came in third place in the annual “ David Berkowitz Look-Alike “ contest.
Not just that. He was also looking at his phone.
Robert Dawson jealous
Really excited to hear about the Allman Bros documentary. Would the footage of Duane include that from the Atlanta Pop festival? Still, anything containing Skydog would be awesome.
Check out The Duane Allman Archives. Plenty of great shows on there.
Electric Landlady .. so spinal tap!!
Jimi Hendrix was a sixties man. That was his three year career feels like ten years.
MORE LIKE ONE THOUSAND
This is a true treasure...Thank You Very Much!...for posting this Great Stuff!
Cry of love is a great LP
Chas Chandler was The Puppet Master in Jimi's RISE & HIS DEMISE..
So how old were these guys back then....Jimi was 25/26...incredible.
Excellent News For Jimi Hendrix And Duane Allman
The Duane Allman Archives has plenty of concerts.
I bought the new "Are You Experienced" package and they are really messing around with it, hearing someone
else harmonizing with Jimi. I saw the Jimi Hendrix Experience and was listening to his albums on headphones
when they came out. I could be telling you more about Jimi Hendrix and how his recordings happened more
than anything this estate employee will. Here's one for you, an example of how Jimi was used as part of the
British Invasion. When the C.I.A. asked Magnavox to build the worlds' first two twelve-track tape recorders,
they gave one to Jimi Hendrix for Electric Ladyland. Jimi Hendrix always played his own bass in the studio.
Jimi saw the wetness from the underground river and had a second concrete floor with a sump pump built.
He always riffed of the aquatic sounds he got as being the result of that. He also had a solid concrete piece
built to hang from the ceiling to reflect sound down, getting a truly heavy sound. Jimi used a Stratocaster
because it was the first instrument built in human history that had individual, two-way adjustable bridges,
plugging it into an oscilloscope to tune it scientifically, why it worked so better with effects and recording.
I better stop typing.
Nice insight. "A merman, I will turn to be....'
Chas Chandler was the Artist Development that Hendrix needed to get the Arranging and writing together
The interviewer claims to be a big Jimi fan, but it sounds like he does not not know many very basic details which have been sitting in the public domain for well over over 50 years. "How did he string his guitar?" Really? Did he ever read even one book about Jimi? meh....
I once did a work experience scheme in a radio station and I remember if an interesting character was interviewed, the radio dj would want to rush it so they could spend a whole day chatting with the person in a pub or something. I think that's the case here maybe.
He probably knew all this, but many listeners may have not. So you have to ask your guests to explain it.
