      1983 & One Rainy Wish for me Top 10 Hendrix. "One Rainy Wish" definitely underrated by Hendrix pundits but honored by stars like Brian May and Stanley Clarke. "One Rainy Wish" is aptly described by the title of the Mahavishnu song: "Sapphire Bullets of Pure Love" or, more aptly: "Golden Drops Of Pure Love". A track to be listened to until it is clearly heard & absorbed.

    The historical significance of the June 11th, 1967 gig was that it was a record release party for Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, which would be the final party Beatles manager Brian Epstein would ever put together for the fab four. It was also at this party that The Jimi Hendrix Experience became the first to perform the song 'Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band' live, predating the first time Paul McCartney would perform it live in 1989. Jimi and the band only had 4 days to learn the song.

And now have Axis Bold As Love, Electric LadyLand and Valleys of Neptune. And can't stop playing ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER IN MONO (and the solo gives me chills) and can't stop humming Little Wing. Thanks so much for pointing me in the direction of Jimi. As ever Peace ✌ and Love ❤

    Yes! I think you're right on. I heard a lot of radio play from the UK album's release, when I was abroad at the time.
    Then, when a sibling received Jimi's 1st US album thru a mail-order record club, we were floored by the tracks included, the track order, & the album cover design. We were all simply knocked out, by this highly original, exciting musician/guitarist, who seemingly came out of nowhere, and exploded onto the scene!
    To each and every one of us, Hendrix was truly in a class of his own!

  • @bigpapi2658

    I first heard Jimi in 1985, 8th grade. We stopped by a shack, I thought was a lawn equipment shed, where my friends uncle lived. He was a Vietnam Vet, had on a green army jacket. Totally looked like a character out of a movie. Alcoholic, totally fucked up. We walked in and he reached into a cooler and tossed us a beer. Not our first. So we popped the top and threw it back. Then he pulled out a joint and fired it up. He passed it over and we hit it. That was our first time. At some point I pointed to this Hendrix album and said I never heard anything he done. So he gets up and puts on the record. He lived in a shack, no fridge, no plumbing used and outhouse. Was pretty much a large bedroom with a broken down couch and chairs. But dude had a kick ass hifi stereo system. Minutes into the album I was hooked!!!

    Hello Mr. Geek and followers...Karl Ferris here, the original photographer/designer of the 1967 US "Are You Experienced" LP Cover...And yes, Jimi told me that he didn't like the UK Cover and asked me to create something Psychedelic that visually matched his music and style, for the US Cover...

      If that's really you, Karl.... I appreciated everything about the USA pics compared with the UK version. I'm sure Jimi preferred them to the ones used on the UK version. The USA album changed my life forever. That still didn't stop me from acquiring the UK version, later on. But your pictures are a 'flash-back' to a big change in my life. My mind was completely blown away by Jimi's creativity and abilities and your pictures always take me back to that original experience.

Hendrix is one of those few artists that has a catalog small enough that all his albums are essential with little to no filler (Beatles, Nirvana, Doors, Pixies, Led Zep, Clash just a few others I can think of off the top of my head imo)

    I was 13 years old in '67. In Montreal. Expo '67, the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel and Hendrix. It was a swooning year. Can you imagine? Every waking (and sometimes sleeping) moment was a new song, a new musical invention (the fuzz, the wah wah pedal) a new drug. My nephew, a drummer, is giving up his dream of being part of a band. He's 33 now. That's what the 60's were like. Every musician could find a job. Music was pouring out of derelict buildings and suburban basements. I was a singer. I got a band together when I got to 16. It didn't last. But everyone then, shared the same dream: rock star.
    At 69 now, the year beginning the years of nostalgia, I look back and wonder... if only.

    Okay...if you are REALLY into Hendrix, then listen. We all have our favorite running order of the album, probably depending on if you were under the influence of psychedelics at the time. But the REAL "differences" in these albums is, because they were mixed for MONO AND STEREO, you are really listening to DIFFERENT MIXES! And that's what's GREAT about having BOTH of these albums. If you listen real close, you will here the difference in the mix itself. For instance, on Third Stone From The Sun, you can clearly hear Mitch Mitchel doing a DRUM SOLO along with Hendrix Freak Out guitar solo where he blows up the world. There is also I Don't Live Today in which you hear different things in the background at the end. Love or Confusion comes out a little different if memory serves me well. But May This Be Love DOES suffer from the lack of 'playfulness' in the panning throughout the song. The title track of Are You Experienced comes out well, though a little flat compared to the Stereo Version. All in all, if you LOVE Jimi Hendrix, and this album. Bet BOTH! It's not even a gimmick, because each mix reveals a layer of magic in the production of these GREAT songs. So there is no VS when it comes to these albums. If you are a TRUE Hendrix fan, seek them out. They complement each other. And on the UK version you get 3 more Hendrix songs. How can you go wrong? Thanks for the review and opening more young people up to "this Jimi Hendrix guy that everybody says was the best." ;) Enjoy!

    When you'd mentioned your favorite Hendrix track in this video, it reminded me of an experience I thought you'd enjoy. So, in 1999, Jeff Buckley's mother Mary toured around showing a documentary on Jeff and then holding an hour long Q&A. On that tour, she came to San Francisco and had a screening of the documentary in an old church in Noe Valley. She was asked what her favorite memory of Jeff was and she had mentioned that she'd never seen Jeff play live and decided to sneak into a show and hide in the back where he couldn't see her. So apparently he spots her mid-song and immediately launches into "The Wind Cries Mary" in tribute. Not sure how many musicians could pull that off with no rehearsal, etc. Probably useless information that has little to do with Hendrix himself, but a good story that shows that even if the influence of Hendrix didn't seem apparent in some artists, he was an influence on the best of them.

      Unlikely. I few sentences earlier, he referred to "RE-prize" Records. But I have some sympathy.

      Yeah, that was bad. On a related note, ask a fan of Lovecraft about "The Dunwich Horror". It's the same kind of name -- x-village is shortened, so Green Village becomes Gren-ich; thus "Dunwich" is Dun-ich not Dun-wich, but hardly any Lovecraftians say it correctly. Lovecraft lived in NYC a bit and a couple stories are set in GV, like "He." And yes, "Greenwich Village" is actually redundant, like ATM machine or Sahara Desert. Love this channel though!

    I have an original release copy of American pressing. I know it’s original bcuz my mom stood in line when she was 16 to buy it brand new. She died in 2009 and I got most of her record collection. It’s all in there, everyone from that era. The collection has about 40 albums. When I was little we used to (on weekends) get her collection out and play the records. We would dance, she would tell stories about what she was doing when the song came out. We would listen to The Doors and she’d tell me about when she saw them live in 68. I asked “what songs did they play?” Mom being Mom said “heck son, I don’t remember, all I knew was I had my go-go boots on and I was on top of a speaker dancing, I don’t even know how they looked, much less what they played!” We would always end the record sessions with Donavan Greatest Hits. When I listen to “try and catch the wind” it takes me back to all those endless weekends of dancing, laughing, and telling stories. I got the records out about a month ago- when that song came on the memories hit me like a ton of bricks.
    So I think a review of Donovan’s Greatest Hits should be up next. I think (was told this before google was in every pocket and haven’t checked bcuz I like to think it’s true, that Led Zeppelin played most of the backing music on that album right before they turned into Led Zeppelin.

    The US press was built to be more commercial, that was pretty much it's only purpose. As a consistent example of Jimi's expertise as a musician, the UK press was purpose built to be more of a work of art.

    As a Brit, I can honestly say that the North American release is superior in basically every respect to the UK release. The artwork is better (except from maybe the back, IMO), and the fact that Purple Haze, The Wind Cries Mary and Hey Joe were never on the UK release is crazy to say the least (though, Red House, Can You See Me and Remember are still very good, but I still don't prefer them). I kind of preferred the UK artwork when I first saw it, just because of its simplicity and the fact that the picture of the band was a little clearer, but I'm kind of back on board with the American release - it just speaks a little more for the music. I didn't know that the UK release was mono only, though, and so, in that case, I'll probably just stick with the American release when I finally buy this on LP.

  • @ReasonablySane
    @ReasonablySane 8 лет назад

    I’m not a Hendrix fan, but I LOVE Hey Joe. The reason is singular: The women’s background vocals. It’s not just the harmonizing or anything like that. It is the way it is laid down over the rest of the song and how it complements the theme of the song. The somewhat distorted sound of the “semi-final” mix is then combined with the VERY clean and hi-fi sounding women’s voices to produce the final mix. I envision angels floating over him as they know what is about to happen and they produce their angelic and ominous background for the event.
    It is one of the most simple, yet amazing use of vocals in a song I have ever heard.
    It is the audio equivalent of taking a grainy and high contrast schene out of a 50’s film noir night scene and including clear and colorful characters from a parallel dimension, floating over the event, watching the evil transpire as lives are forever changed.

    In my opinion, the US stereo version is the better one. Psychedelic music is meant to be in stereo to enhance the "experience" of the trip. Believe me those panning done by Eddie Kramer once gave me a terrible headache making me realize stereo is the way to go. I find it funny that the UK record labels still find pop and rock music of the 60s too teenage fodder and only released this record in mono. The reissued on Sony is a welcome compromise if one cannot find original US pressings in near mint condition. There was no digital processing in these Eddie Kramer reissues. Only problem is due to the age of the tapes - especially this album in question is filled with loud hiss. Still a problem I can live with.

    Great Video! I totally agree! The US version hands down! The UK version is still cool because it's Hendrix. But I actually prefer the UK artwork because I've seen the US artwork a million times. lol I think Red House is awesome but the version used on the UK edition is different from what most people know. I prefer the version that was released on Smash Hits back in 68. That version is on the US Deluxe version of the US album. Can You See Me to me is just basic R&B played by Hendrix, nothing special really. Remember is better but it's forgettable. Hey Joe is such a classic, it's just showing how talented and important Hendrix was/is. His first song he ever recorded with Experience turned out to be one of the greatest songs ever recorded. What other artist done that? Not to mention Hendrix was such a struggling R&B club musician only a couple months before.

      The version of Red House on the UK Edition was recorded in December 66 and the version used on the album Smash Hits and the Dexlue US Are You Experienced CD was recorded in March 67 the March 67 version sounds more complete and perfect, as if you took more time on it and took time on the sound quality. The 66 version sounds like a first time take, you can hear mistakes.

    There are two studio versions of Red House. One appeared on Are You Experienced, and a different version on Smash Hits. Both excellent. There are people who say that one has bass and the other doesn't. or other differing theories. Those statements are based upon something they read. When comparing the versions side by side, you will notice that the bass and drums are identical on both and the vocals and guitar parts are different.
