#jimihendrix #1960s #musicreaction
One of the ultimate psychedelic songs of the 60's. Purple haze was a name for a specific LSD
I thought it was about Sativa Marijuana strain?
@@AbeVicious I never heard that, but it's possible. I never took "purple haze" but I remember, it was a thing
@@rubroken "Purple Haze is a sativa marijuana strain popularized by Jimi Hendrix's 1967 classic song, Purple Haze. This strain delivers a dreamy burst of euphoria that brings veteran consumers back to their psychedelic heyday."
as a flower child of the '60s I always knew it as a weed strain & have smoked a fair amount of it
I had one of those little purple pills once...
"Are you experienced" from the same album is the trippiest experience put on vinyl!
Trippy for sure, but I'd personally vote Electric Ladyland for "trippiest" - especially if you're tripping ;)
So many to choose from; I've enjoyed playing all these and also love 'The Stars That Play with Laughing Sam's Dice' - good auto-corrupt, some lessons are sticking, huh? - and '1983: A Merman...', 'Pali Gap', and 'Third Stone...'.
Nobody did it better or ventured further, imo.
✌🏼😉🎶💜🍁💜🌈🌉✨️🕊
Right!!! This album really blew my mind 😁😁 when it came out..RIP JIMI you are missed
Five words...... "Third Stone from the Sun"
Love that one so much.
Jimi Hendrix's career spanned only four years but he is considered one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music. Sadly he died at the age of only 27. He headlined the famous Woodstock Festival in 1969. He had a lot of great songs such as "Hey Joe", "Foxy Lady", "The Wind Cries Mary", "All Along The Watchtower" etc.
Purple Haze was a type of LSD and Jimi used to carry around hits of Purple Haze in a large bullet he made into a necklace/stash spot haha
Yes, I remember Purple Haze LSD in the early 70s, talk about flying high...
In my view, Jimi's "Fire" is the quintessential rock song.
Move over ROVER let JIMI take over 😊❤
Fire!
Absolutely! Jimi is best known for being a great guitarist, but he was an excellent songwriter.
Jimi Hendrix, within 2 years, was the world's highest paid musician. He was more than highly and widely recognized. Most musicians, regardless of genre, were highly respectful of his singer/songwriter abilities. And then he was gone. The prototype shooting star. His studio work is, to this day, innovative.
Mitch Mitchell DESTROYING with the absolute perfect drumming to match Jimi's onslaught of intergalactic playing!
I feel like this is the song that changed the world forever. Musically.❤
Freaking banger as Phil would say 😂Purple Haze is definitely my favorite Jimi song for sure. All along the watchtower is amazing too. Great reaction and Peace out 🙏 ✌️ ☮️
Purple Haze in YOUR brains now!!😂
Hendrix had a sound that was completely fresh and creative, and it made other guitarists question if they'd been trying hard enough.
People that just mention Jimi's guitar playing are missing out on the whole picture. He was so much more! He was an incredible singer and writer. His music took you on a cosmic journey. There was nobody before and nobody after that could send you places like Jimi.
“ Voodoo Child ( Slight Return)”! Oh yeah. Also, from 1967, “ Sunshine Of Your Love” by Cream. Jimi used to play this as a tribute quite often in concert.
I saw Jimi at The Sam Houston Coliseum in Houston back in 1968 and I’ll never forget watching him run onto the stage. He was dressed in a black silk body suit with silver sequins running down his arm sleeves and down his pant legs and was wearing a black headband.
We punks could only stare at this picture of cool before our eyes. Of course, he tore the stage down that night and we came home experienced.
This song got significant radio play. But Jimi was so far ahead of the music in his day that his songs didn't get proper attention. It took awhile for the audiences to catch on.
His RENDITION of THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER, at WOODSTOCK is THE BEST EVERRRR
I walked down to the front of the stage , most had left I thought he was just warming up, mind blowing rendition
@@bruceware897 Wowwww!!! I'm envious
I've probably listened to this tune more than a thousand times and it still sounds volcanic and fresh. Jimi played from a level of creativity people rarely if ever acheive.
"Hey Joe", "Foxy Lady", "The Wind Cries Mary", "All Along The Watchtower", "Fire"
This song has a well known misheard lyric, Hendrix sings ‘Excuse me while I kiss the sky’ but many people thought that he was singing ‘Excuse me while I kiss this Guy’ 😊
Who tf mistook it for that? Lmfao
@AbeVicious
The same people who heard Credence sing "There's a bathroom on the right."
@@GorgeousRoddyChrome 🤣😂
@@AbeViciousBecause if you sing both these lines out loud, they're the same line
@@TheRealMirCat seems like that's what they wanted to hear
This is the most Iconic Jimi song
At this place in time, I played in a battle of the bands! A South Carolina band played Purple Haze, which our band had never heard, and blew us out of the water!
Don’t forget Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding - solid backing for Jimi especially during live performances when Jimi was known to go off message musically.
Here is a great story that I heard many years ago of a deep connection with other artists at a young age before hitting it big.
Randy California was born as Randy Craig Wolfe into a musical Jewish[1] family in Los Angeles and spent his early years studying varied styles at the family's Los Angeles folk club, the Ash Grove, which was founded by his uncle, Ed Pearl.[2] He was 15 years old when his mother Bernice Pearl and new stepfather, Ed Cassidy (later to become a founding member of the band Spirit, with Randy), moved to New York City in the summer of 1966 because Cassidy had a number of jazz gigs lined up. It was there, at Manny's Music, that he met Jimi Hendrix.[3]
He played in Hendrix's band Jimmy James and the Blue Flames that summer. California, Cassidy and Pearl lived in an apartment building in Forest Hills, Queens called the Balfour, whose other residents included future Steely Dan co-founder Walter Becker, who cited California's blues-based guitar style as an influence on his own playing.[4]
There was a long running lawsuit with Jimi Page that Stairway to Heaven was a "rip-off" of a song he did from Spirit (and learned originally from Jimi). Led Zeppelin won the lawsuit eventually.
Randy died at 45 when he was trying to save his 12 year old son in a rip tide. Such a loss.
I saw him several times in 1967 when he first came to the UK. The song that is most redolent of that time is "Manic Depression"
Good choice for them to react to.
Purple Haze was based on a poem Jimi wrote from a dream he had. The original title of the poem was Purple Haze Jesus Saves. The lyrics were an edited version of the much longer poem. The basic song was recorded on 4-track with drums in mono on 1 track and a track each for bass, rhythm guitar and vocal. This was then bounced down to a 2 track stereo mix on another 4 track that opened up 2 more tracks for additional guitar and vocals. Each time you did this you picked up more tape noise so you were limited in how much you could get on tape before the quality was too rough. You had to be super creative and mix each bounce taking into account what the final mix would sound like. The basic tracks were done on 1/11/67 at De Lane Lea studios in London. Jimi came in, showed the chords to bassist Noel Redding and then hummed the song to him and drummer Mitch Mitchell to demonstrate how it went. They got the basic rhythm tracks down in 3 takes.
Then came the process of over dubbing. When Jimi would get an idea for a sound he wanted they would book an hour or two in the studio to try it out.
In February they took the 4 track tape to Olympic Studios where Jimi first met an engineer there named Eddie Kramer. Eddie was known for doing experimentation and what was considered odd ball recordings so he was assigned to work with Jimi. It was a partnership that would last until the day Jimi died. At the time the only "effect" Jimi was using was a Fuzz Face fuzz pedal. Then he met Roger Mayer backstage at a gig. Roger had been building effects pedals and approached Jimi as the best person to try them out. The first pedal was the Octavia that produces a note an octave higher along with a harmonic fuzz sound. That's what you're hearing on Purple Haze. What's amazing is how his recordings sound like they could have been done today even though the equipment they used would be considered primitive by today's standards. You are absolutely right about how different he sounded in 1967 compared to everything else at the time. Add in the way he dressed, his stage show, his unique style of singing and the complete mastery of the guitar he displayed that left the best players in the world in awe and a good deal of fear, because they felt so eclipsed by him. That changed though when they actually met him and found that offstage he was kind of shy, warm and humble and just as interested in what other musicians were doing as they were of him. He truly lived and breathed music, rarely seen without a guitar in hand, it was the language he used to relate to the world.
That whole Jimi Hendrix Experience debut album is trippily amazing! Such a ride!😊
"Scuse me while I kiss the sky" , one of the best verses in all of music!
This song is the one that put him on the map.
Back in '68 purple haze was the name of a very popular tab of LSD
1967 was known as ‘The Year of Lovin’ it was the year of the Monterey Pop Festival, where the Rolling Stones, The Who, Mamas and The Papas, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, Janis Joplin and Ravi Shankar.
The Monterey Pop Festival is on YT also Hendrix at Woodstock.
All along the Watchtower is my personal favourite.
My fave song off my fave album! Song & album are a sonic experience for the mind! dbl 💜
1967. I was 10 and that was the first time I'd ever heard him. I've been a major league fan ever since. A request, please. I suggest "House Burning Down" from the album Electric Ladyland. In my opinion, this was his best song and the sounds he created in the studio (without the aid of the digital recording and electronic computerized effects of today) have never been equaled since. And remember this was recorded in 1968. 🎸
Yeah I knew you had to get to this one 😂😂 add-on Jimi's guitar work and tricks he does was helped by Buddy Guy. One of Jimi's mentors. But yes most unique Guitarist.
Saw Buddy in 86 in Memphis. Great show.
@@JoeandAngie Saw Buddy with my son 2013 front row seats with George Thorogood opening. Great Show.
Jimi played guitar not no one else at the time and he used new recording styles. He once played a Beatles song the day they released it at their release party
I was 18 and I was tripping a lot on Hendrix, Cream and so on. Very memorable years for the most part. A wonderful time. It changed my life.
Phil and Samantha-You are doing a terrific job with your reactions. I would love for you to react to the song “Pieces of Dreams”. by Johnny Mathis.The Live version from the Tonight show.He was Barbra Streisand ‘s favorite singer when she was younger.She has said of him :”Thereare good singers; there area small handful of truly great singers;and then there is Johnny Mathis”.He is the third best-selling recording artist of the. past century behind Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley.This is a phenomenal performance by Johnny.A Must See!! I am sure you will enjoy it. He received two standing ovations that night. Please react to it. You will be so thrilled you did. This performance is simply awesome!!
Sometimes I don't hear them but listen to the drums in the background behind Jimmy's guitar. So on spot so supportive. So fantastic
Jimi is the GOAT guitarist. Now n forever.
Red House, Crosstown, Little Wing are my suggestions... love your channel ❤️ 💕 ♥️ 💖 💗
This song and "Foxy Lady" are my favorites from Jimi. Yes, Psychedelic Rock would be the category. Other Psychedelic Rock suggestions?: "I Had Too Much To Dream" by the Electric Prunes, "8 Miles High" by The Byrds and "Fire" by the Crazy World Of Aurthur Brown. Thanks.
All on watch tower is another one to check out
Genius innovation coming to life....Brilliant way to describe Hendrix you Geniuses
I just turned 16 when I first heard this and yes it did blow my mind! I couldn't fathom how he made his guitar sound! I was hooked after that and I do own his greatest hits and so does my son!
Sam I'm still Trippi,but it's herd the Vietnam veterans when they were at war at that time would ware cassette recorders around Thier necks playing this song for courage and mindset for doing that soldier thing
My brother was a Marine in Vietnam and he asked for me to record a cassette of Are You Experienced and mail to him. I was on the task immediately.
Thanks for doing a studio version of Jimi!! You really get the best experience from his albums.
Hendrix was a master of the studio as well as the rest of the creative powers you mrntioned.
I was 14 when I talked my dad into buying this album for me... it was my first LP and I wore it out!
"Who Knows" live at Fillmore East (1970) PLEASE!
Good choice. My favorite from "Live at Fillmore".
Jimi was fortunate to have a very open minded producer to work with. Eddie Kramer helped Jimi create soundscapes. He also had Roger Mayer a former royal navy electronics guy who designed some really cool guitar pedals. Plus his own huge talent. Effects are a crutch if you are a hack, a tool if you are a musical genius. Oh and the high sounds on the end is speeded up tapes, a technique pioneered by Les Paul. Listen to "by by blues or "how high the moon" by Les.
Thanks for the tip on Les Paul.
Check out the live version. At Atlanta Pop Festival
Purple Haze was a very popular type of LSD in the 60s & 70s that Jimi enjoyed. 🤪😎
This landed like an alien ship. We were blown away. And there actually was another album that Hendrix cited the influence of on this album. Check out the first song from Truth by Jeff Beck called "Shapes Of Things". A huge influence on Jimi.
Saw him do this live in 1968. He had a three man band & they played it just like you heard it here.
The amazing thing about the Hendrix Experience is that they only had one top 20 song in the U.S. All Along the Watchtower.
I still have this album that I got from a 5 & Dime record store back in 1974 for $2! My older brother always tried to convince me that the one verse is "excuse me while I kiss this guy" & to this day he swears by it✌💖☮
And all that sound from just 3 band members!
0:55.At Jimi's first London show, Paul McCarntney, JImmy Page, Eric Clapton etc were in the crowd..When they left, Jeff Beck said, "Bloody hell, we gotta get better..That man is going to put us out of business!" And to think he was basically a self-taught guitarist and played left-handed...all the pedals/ fx future players would use for their axes, Jimmy could do with just his fingers and a whammy bar.
So much great Jimi! Do it all! The new release is coming ou soon!
Star Spangled Banner by Jimi
this song was so far ahead of its time back in '67.
No, it was very much OF its time. I was 14 in 1967 and I well remember the context Hendrix and other rock music innovators were working in. This was an outstanding track, but not at all aypical of the progressive music of 1967.
Love Jimi, got to see them in '68 to promote this album..
Any day that you can listen to Jimi Hendrix is a good day
Ohhhhhhh: YAAAAAAAAAAASSSS!!! I SO LOVE THIS WHOLE ALBUM!!! THANKS, YA'LL, for MAKING MY DAY!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!
This song was the first thing most people ever heard from Hendrix--it was the 1st track of his 1st album. I still have it on good ol' CD (I betray my age here🤣). Have a nice day.
Greatest ever
The song is influenced by an acid trip or several. Hendrix was not only the most amazing guitar player period, but just as important he was a CONSTANT innovator in sound and thought...🤟🎸🎸🇨🇦 Checkout 1983 A Mermaid I Should Turn to Be, Machine Gun live from the Fillmore Voodoo Child
Iconic song!
Also from that album is ' Third Stone From The Sun' !
Prince was a big fan of Jimi Hendrix can tell by the way he use to dress and perform on stage
One of my favourite Jimi Hendrix tracks not seen any other channel react to is
1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)
I'd go with "Fire" or "Foxy Lady" 🔥☮️
When I listen to Jimmy Page I feel like it's in my head. When I listen to Jimi Hendrix I feel like it's in my groin.
Hendrix and EVH are the best Why?Because they both changed the game.They both changed what being a lead guitarist sounded like and both influenced generations of guitarist more than any of the other greats
What Hendrix did was he would record by speeding up the recordings and layering it with other tracks. Another one is Third Stone from the Sun. He has put many guitars licks hidden for posterity in these songs, some are slowed down, others are sped up.
Hendricks definitely influenced the Great Stevie Ray Vaughan.
RIP Guitar Legends
Gone to soon!!!
SRV's career is basically a tribute to Hendrix.
@@johnsilva9139 You are right and SRV does an excellent tribute to Hendrix
If you REALLY want to know what makes Hendrix great as a songwriter AND a guitarist, you’ve got to check out Little Wing. Studio version. I’m not sure how well you guys understand playing with a swing time compared to straight time, but Hendrix played BOTH ways in Little Wing. The guitar intro is one of the most iconic openings in the history of rock music, and the playing jumps between swing and straight time at a moments notice. It’s otherworldly. Add in the beautiful chord progressions and the elegant poetry….and you are left with genius. Pure genius.
A great studio version song from him is All Along The Watchtower which was written by Bob Dylan.
Lovely drumming too.
He's always reminded me of the later work of John Coltrane, but with the Rock guitar instead of what Coltrane did with the Jazz saxaphone.
The wind cries Mary, Crosstown traffic, All along the watchtower are some songs you should check out.
Spot on with Jimi's sound being heavier than anything else at the time. It was. By far. Cream were a heavy group as well, but it was Hendrix that laid down the blueprint for what would become heavy metal.
Check out "Bold As Love", "If 6 Was 9", and to get completely blown away, the live clip of him performing "Machine Gun" from the Fillmore East in 1970.
"Purple Haze" was an actual type of blotter acid.. LSD on paper. "Blue Star" replaced it a few years later. My first trip was courtesy of Blue Star in
1978.😅 A teenager in the 70s! 😊
Humm not sure if you have listened to Black Sabbath with Ozzy they came out in 1968 and did a lot of the heavy guitar and such though Jimi was the GOD of Rock and still is. The original Purple Haze was LSD Jimi was know to partake of some of those items in his short life
'Voodoo Chile', is the best!😊
The H-Man! Jimi Hendrix!
Purple Haze was a brand of Acid, like Orange Sunshine.
Purple Haze was a popular "brand" of LSD common in the 60's and 70's. So this song is an acid trip.
The lyric excuse me while I kiss the sky was thought by many listeners to be excuse me while I kiss this guy.
Purple Haze. lioke Orange Sunshine was a special brand of LSD issued by Owlsley.
Jimi is Jimi. The GOAT. But the Experience was the package that delivered the music of Jimi.
Mitch Mitchell on drums and Noel Redding on bass were phenoms in their own right!
Listen to Manic Depression for a taste of that!
GOAT.
Just imagine Jimi Hendtrrix opening up for the MONKIES ! and it really happened ! OMG !
We had never heard anything like this in 1967 either. Neither had the great musicians of the day. They knew they were up against a new sound and talent. My girlfriend painted me dayglo posters of Hendrix and I hung them up in my bedroom. I had black lights and a fire place in my bedroom. I was 17 at the time. Good sound system. Just didn't get any better!!!
👍👍
Jimi once asked if you die tripping will you trip forever ~ hallucinogens was something
worth experiencing once
Yea, it’s trippy, just like purple haze.
Hmm, "Purple Haze" was one my favorite......bars while going to mechanics school at Camp Johnson back in the seventies. In the immortal words of Billy Gibbons, "they got another of nice girls there."
I would recommend purple haze live, pali gap(studio), are you experienced, bold as love, also machine gun live. There are so many that showcase his work. No doubt the best guitarist to ever live.🤘
this shit came about when the Beatles were singing "All You Need is Love" and the Monkees were singing "I'm a Believer." this was before Zeppelin, Purple and Sabbath...
