Jimi Hendrix was one of a kind; there will never be another one like him!
If he's not the GOAT, then there's no such thing.
You can't forget his performance of "The Star Spangled Banner" from Woodstock too. It is a classic. He played at 9:00 a.m., so it was a wake up call for most there.
And here we are again in unstable times. 😥
There were approximately 40,000 people left out of the 400,000 that were there
Magnificent Performance 🎭 Woodstock!✊🏾🔥🔥🔥🇯🇲
That version still gives me goosebumps
He played at 9 am.... on monday....Monday..... about 16 hours late.... there were only about 20k people left there
Jimi changed the game for guitarists. He truly is the GOAT.
Depends on the style of guitar
Roy Clark
Every hard rock guitarist wanted to be Jimi. All the guitarists of the day tried to catch a show if Jimi was in town.
Lols go check out Django Reinhardt ,I mean Jimi was great and all but all the hyperbole around the legend and mythology of the man has skewed the debate .
@@recoil53 you get it. The other retards here... not so much.
Jimi Hendrix’s was the most anticipated Woodstock performance, but by the time he and his newly formed band, Gypsy Sun & Rainbows, started their two-hour set at 9:00 a.m. Monday morning, the half-million-person audience was down to roughly 40,000. Those who stayed for the festival finale witnessed one of the most memorable and legendary performances of the entire decade.
Thunderstorms hit the prior night, causing the whole farm to turn into a swampy mess. Anyone who stayed to the bitter end got to experience one of the greatest, if not the greatest, live rock-n-roll performances of all time.
Life changing experience for me. 🤙
FACTS!!!
Remember Jimi related this yesrs effort SRV copied years later
Jimi did o like his ow. Voice.
His rendition of the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock was an iconic performance if there ever was one.
And All Along the Watchtower.
With all due respect to Jeff Healy and SRV and all of the other great players...this is Jimi's creation and in my honest opinion...nobody can play or has taken it out there like Jimi. His improvisations are way beyond any of the other players and the fact of the matter is that as GREAT as this performance is of Vodoo Child...there are other great live versions of him.playing this song as well that are available for the public to hear and lets not forget about the studio version on Electric Lady Land.
HE IS THE ONE...THE ONLY AND ORIGINAL VODOO CHILD!!!!!
cant agree with you more...nobody can touch this and the version on elec. ladyland, the first riff is the most perfect ive ever heard...i love all the greats, but jimi leads the way, to say otherwise then you havent dug deep enough, he left a ton of great stuff behind...mostly live!!!
Jimi is the Best
Especially when you used to drop some purple haze acid
At the 6:20 mark the people who released this cut out approximately eight to ten minutes and jumped it the part before the Star Spangled Banner. He then goes straight into Purple Haze and then another guitar solo where once again a huge portion gets chopped out and they go into Villanueva Junction Blues. They cut a lot out of this performance. I’m pretty sure the official release by his estate will have in its entirety.
Voodoo Chile is even better IMO.
I saw Stevie Ray say in an interview that he's trying to learn everything Jimi did just to try and keep up with him
This was a number one hit here in the UK, released shortly after Jimi's death.
His version of "All Along The Watchtower" was so good that Bob Dylan, who wrote it, said that it couldn't be bettered. I cannot think of a better song to be your next Jimi Hendrix reaction.
I believe Dylan's words were that "this song is his now".
✌My Dad was on stage the whole time Jimi played Woodstock. Was lifted by a fork lift. Shook his huge hand had a chat with him. Dad is 77. Rock on Dad! 🎸🎶✌
As a 66-year old, this makes me wish I was 10 years older!
That was a moment in music history!
@@stevenclarke5606 Crazy thing is is that my buddy Ray who`s from BROOKLYN went to WOODSTOCK`69. He`d just turned 18 & bcause of all of the cars backedup leading to the site, he said he & some friends had to WALK! uh coupla miles to the site.. Ray still has his TICKET STUB. Then...he found out as things went the festival was free. Beginning with RICHIES HAVENS & ending with JH, Ray stayed for the entire festival. Ray works construction here in MIAMI.
@@RICHBLACKCOCK yes I’ve seen Woodstock videos and the bands had to be flown in because all the roads were jammed up
Jay/Amber, his "Foxy Lady" and "All Along The Watchtower" are a couple of his iconic songs!! True legend.
Lest we forget Purple Haze
My favorite song is "In From The Storm" ..with the wah
@@ryanawilson8549 Indeed!!
@@ryanawilson8549 they reacted to it ruclips.net/video/od0W2aLauug/видео.html
Yes, let’s hear those songs!
I heard Jimi Hendrix and that was it! I was 12 and 1/2 yrs old, love Page, Santana, Betts, Duane Allman, Clapton, Jeff Beck but Hendrix for the time and the talent, he was sooo far ahead of everyone! Not from this world! Awesome! Glad I am a part of it!
I'm sure you must have come across John Mc Laughlin , played with Miles , and gave Jimmy Page lessons , if not check him out , played with Carlos Santana too , always loved Hendrix.
@@petersmith3953cortate los dedos imbécil!
Best rock guitarist ever, I remember him crashing onto the scene, like a super nova! He was so ground breaking and the 3 albums he released before he died in 1970 are right there as good as anybody. Most influential guitarist ever and not even close. He played Sgt Peppers for a crowd that included the Beatles and the Rolling Stones just 2 days after that song was released! Try his versions of Voodoo Chile (slight return) and Voodoo Child off his classic Electric Ladyland album. He was simply the best, Enjoy! 🎸
I disagree.I think he's top 10 or so.And in the history of recorded music, that's saying a lot.I love Jimi as much as anyone,but there has been players in fact,more technically proficient than him.In most cases he could save himself,but he made a ton of mistakes.There are a few that don't.
@@pastorofmuppets22 To a point, but the newer guys are standing on his shoulders, and I would be curious to hear them without the effects, and playing AND singing with the equipment of his era. He was the first guitarist to play the total sound of an electric guitar and amp, not the guitar itself. IMO there is no top anything, they're all different. But Hendrix was innovative in terms technique, style, use of equipment, and use of a studio.
Jimi was, is, and always will be one of the G.O.A.T. s of guitarists
The studio version of "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" is a non-stop guitar solo. That song cements him as THE greatest guitar player ever!
@@justmefl7045 there are some live performance that I think transcend there studio counter parts.
Yeah, if you're a pot head. He was hipper than most but does that make him great?
@@rossadams1405 No, his guitar playing does.
Nobody had ever seen anything like Jimi before…. Jimi changed the game for all of us.
Remember when listening to jimi that the sounds coming from his guitar are the first times people ever heard a guitar do those things. He's performing on bills with do-op groups and very light pop groups, motown groups, or very 50's sounding bands. Seeing this is like you or I seeing a UFO land in our backyard... mind blowing.
UFO was also a great, underrated Rock Band.
@@lawrencetantalo7990 I never said Jimi invented distortion. Read my comment again. I only said this is the first time these people heard that from a guitar. when jimi was on the charts no one was doing anything like what he was doing. there was no other distortion sounds of note on the top 10 so no one in attendance or the general public at large knew what they were in for at woodstock. That was my point. the first effect or who invented what is an endless debate that I have no interest in discussing and one I didn't start
@@lawrencetantalo7990 I know the history I play guitar too I am only trying to make a GENERAL point about what it was like to experience jimi for the first time and express that to a couple who seem to enjoy the music. I don't need the history lesson and nothing I said implied an interest in learning something I already know. If I say okay you win will you stop and give me my life back?
@@lawrencetantalo7990 I was just trying to give a couple an idea of what it was really like to see jimi for the first time,.. you know, the magnitude of it. Thanks for deflating that. Now just go away, your need to be specific is turning you into a troll.
People sometimes forget, Jimi restrung his guitar so he could play left-handed. Jimi is on the list of great lefties I learned about growing up in the 70’s.
BTW - LOVE Amber’s shirt! Great message.
Actually, he didn't restring it. He plays upside down, with the bass strings at the top of the fretboard, and the high strings at the bottom.
Jimi was the man. A true, generational, once in a lifetime talent.
Hendrix was a force of nature! A friend of mind was there, he said that a lot of people had left at this point because of the rain but a number of people, including him, stuck around and got to Jimi play the last set.
And this is what inspired Stevie Ray Vaughan. He did it proper to honor Jimi! 🔥
Part of why I can't put Stevie above Jimi. SRV is great and I listened to a lot, but he was almost a Hendrix cover band.
Hendrix's the root of a tree that brought forth many branches. SRV was probably the Trunk. Clearly more than just inspired by Hendrix. To me it's more like SRV picked up the torch and carried it on with his own sound, tone and style. His Hendrix inspiration is obvious, but he definitely had his own style as well.
Worlds best ever guitarist. Nothing comes close to his genius
I had a friend who passed away last year and he was there. He said people were leaving because it was the last show and people are trying to get out of there, he said he got to get close to the front because people were leaving.. If you listen to the first song of his set he starts by saying "you can leave if you want to" and he starts jamming.. Rest in peace John "Penner" Pendergrass, we were great friends... and RIP Jimi of course...
Yeah,he demanded to go on last to close the festival. Didn't work out for him,as his set is pretty much forgotten when compared to Santana,Sly and the Family Stone,Richie Havens,Ten Years After and a couple/few others.
@@wreckingKREW1 Forgotten? His Star Spangled Banner from this is legendary.
@@wreckingKREW1 I have read that is was also weather and technical problems that delayed his set till the Monday morning.
@@stringrip
Yeah,the delays pushed his set past when the festival was supposed to have already been a wrap. Had things gone as planned he would have been the highlight of the last night of the whole shebang. There are clips where you can see the field as he's playing and most of the crowd is either gone or in the process of leaving. I always thought it was kind of sad,especially in light of the fact that he would be gone a little over a year later.
@@johncampbell756
True,but when the best acts of Woodstock are mentioned Jimi's name rarely comes up. I can't help but think had he played under the lights,to the full crowd,that it would have been epic.
Jimi comes along, touches the soul....your life is never the same. The man had mountains of swag !
Jimi is one that is often imitated but could never be duplicated!!
All Along The Watchtower is easily the greatest psychedelic rock song of all time. His rendition of Dylan's work takes it to a completely different dimension of experience, and drives you even deeper into the emotional dissonance that Dylan's work was so uniquely known for.
Fun fact: SRV s brother Jimmie Vaughan, was playing with Jimi Hendrix and Jimis Waa Waa pedal broke. He borrowed Jimmie Vaughan’s pedal and he just gave the broken pedal to Jimmie Vaughan. They got the Hendricks pedal fixed and Jimmie gave it to brother Stevie Ray Vaughan. So the Waa Waa pedal SRV uses to play VooDoo Child was formerly owned and used by Jimi Hendricks!
Yes, beautiful, some say the clouds opened and God reached down from heaven handed jimi a guitar and said play my son. Fantastic ☺😚😎❤👍🎸
I was this close to naming my oldest son after Jimi Hendrix….but then the epidural wore off so I named him after dad and grandpa.Bless his heart, that boy don’t have a lick of talent.👶🤦🏾♀️🎸🔥🤷🏾♀️♥️
Funny.
His mom is pretty cool though 😎 lol
🤣🤣🤣
Hendrix was the greatest game-changer for guitar playing. He was the first to understood all that a guitar can do, not only chords and solos, but a lot of amazing and crazy sounds. It's like a third arm for him!
The last part of this video Jimi was beginning the Star Spangled Banner-you have to hear the rest of it-it's mind blowing when he makes his guitar sound like bombs dropping from the sky.
There was nobody like Jimi. He showed up 1967 and blew everybody’s mind!
66
@@TheTexasgypsy Started recording in 1966, but nothing was released and heard by the public until 1967.
There's Jeff, SRV, fast Eddie, etc. All tremendous musicians, but then there was Jimi. Consistently named the best guitarist against all-comers for the last 50+ years.
I think SRV is more refined than Jimi but they are a different generation
IOP SRV was playing notes when Jimi was creating sound. Stevie Ray was a master musician. It was just that Jimi was something different.
When Hendrix was asked "whats it like to be the best guitarist in the world" he replied " I dont know ask RORY GALLAGHER "
At the end of the Star-Spangled Banner, there is a piece labeled "Instrumental Solo" on the album. It is really "Villanova Junction" and, in my opinion, is on my list of times mankind approaches perfection., Measured, disciplined, precise, slower and stately, it is a pearl beyond price.
Let's not forget that not only did Jimi play this instrumental masterpiece, but HE ALSO COMPOSED IT!
Also, let's also remember he was on acid the whole time! I picked up a guitar on acid one time and it melted through my hands.
@@joeb2487 LOL!
And....his band mates was his 'ride or die' drummer Mitch Mitchell,long time buddy on Bass Billy Cox ( who did no drugs) & the rest who were not part of his regular band who practiced with him for only 5-10 days.later that year The Band of Gypsy's were formed where he put the finishing touches of his masterpiece ' Machine Gun'.
Jimi is the GREATEST INDIVIDUAL ARTIST OF ALL TIME! BIG FACTS!
SRV did Jimi justice with his cover. He loved Jimi Hendrix!!
Yeap absolutely idiolized him and the greatest influence on his music career
By the time Jimi Hendrix hit the stage on Monday morning, most of the crowd had departed. Maybe only 10,000 people, out of the 400,000 that were there Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Only the really brave and determined made it through to Monday. But Jimi rocked out non the less, as usual.
My favorite Jimi song! You'll really like the studio version. Next song *Wind Cries Mary* love the lyrics. Btw, Jimi didn't particularly like his singing voice... which blows my mind.
He really doesn't have a great voice, but it fits his music well.
My very first concert, in 1969, at age 13... They didn't have security in those days, just ushers, and we walked down from our seats to the floor right in front of the stage, some 20 feet from his feet!!! I went into the helLA Forum as a complete "square" and left a confirmed drug-taking hippie, totally changing my life!
Makes Stevie Ray Vaughn's version of the same song, recorded some 20 yrs later, look rather pedestrian IMO, though I do love Stevie too.
Thanx so much for this wonderful memory of the man and his band.
Hey guys,
Isn’t he amazing! ☺️
Still gives me goosebumps after over 50 years 😲
Yes Jay … Bow to the King! 🎸
Well never see anything like Jimi again! 🥰
50 years gone - Jimi's intensity and excitement is still unmatched
I still own an unused ticket from this concert. $24 for three days $8 per day. Friday Saturday Sunday
Hendrix was scheduled for Sunday however, he didn't perform till Monday when most of the concert goer's were already gone. 🎸☮️❤️
"Unused" - tragic.
It is Voodoo Chile (as Jimi wrote it) but glad you liked it. Other tracks I D.J. with are "All Along The Watchtower" & "Purple Haze" I saw Jimi perform @ the Isle Of Wight festival in the U.K. He was superb. As were many of the performers. It was the start of my festival lifestyle.
Wow, what a story to tell that must be! That's one of my favorite recorded Jimi performances, in spite of it being a little "off".
I'm fortunate enough to have been at Atlanta Pop July 4th 1970 to get to experience Jimi live playing Star Spangled Banner for us. I feel especially honored. He left us behind only a month and a half later. Icon!
Jimi played Monday morning and a lot of the crowd had left by then, so not as hard to get near the front. I was there from Friday until Sunday evening and missed his performance. There wasn't a program handed out to tell you who played when so we weren't sure what to expect. Fortunately saw him in Toronto the year before and were about 60 feet from the stage..
You guys really need to check out his performance of "The Star Spangled Banner" (also at Woodstock). You could hear him play the first few notes at the end of "Voodoo Child." Simply, stunningly magnificent.
Definitely.
I second that
my dad was sitting in the front row for this performance. he was inspired and is a really amazing guitar player
If you remember Woodstock, you weren't there.
@@kevinflynn4519 Jimi was pretty inspiring lol, Even if you had just had your mind blown , I find after days of high dose, the memory has cycles like the record/fear mode is turned off in cycles, like its so fast to fall and so slow to rise :)
You need to realize Hendrix did not have all the effects they have now. So much of what he does was really never done or even thought about before.
Jimi was asked," whats it like to be the worlds best guitar player ? " he replied "I dont know ask RORY GALLAGHER" so check him out I was fortunate to see the late great Irish guitarist twice , would recommend Shadow Play , Back in your Town, or Bullfrog Blues .
I believe I saw someone else suggests the Star-Spangled Banner that Hendrix did at Woodstock and yes that would be another great one to tackle on Woodstock Wednesday!!
The fact that this is on Monday morning after the entire Festival of the whole weekend was pretty much done!!! Hendrix came on at like 7 or 8 in the morning and there was only maybe thirty thousand people left in the crowd!! Nevertheless those 30,000 should be considered the luckiest people that were at that concert to be able to see Jimi Hendrix and this performance that he did as if there was the full 500,000 people there is just mind-blowing!! I will bet every single one of them we're glad that they stayed!!!
Fortunate enough to have seen him live at OU in May of 1970 just 4 months before his untimely passing. There has never been anyone like him - before or since. No one. RIP Jimi.
Rob: Look at Jimi, diamond studs in his ears (years ahead of the trend), he was and is still the G.O.A.T. so ahead of everyone thats why whe he is the VOODOO CHILE.....
When it comes to guitar Jimi Hendrix is as good as it gets. Genius.
Jimi doesn’t disappoint 👍
Jimi was the final performer at Woodstock. He got on stage around 8:30am, 9:00am. The vast majority of the crowd was gone or in the process of leaving. He played about two hours.
4 years from being signed and brought to England by Chas Chandler (The Animals), to his death he released 3 studies more albums and a load of live albums. He died 52 years ago, and STILL influencing guitarists worldwide and always will. But I also love he never set out to write the latest hit or told what to do by record labels - he wrote and did whatever he wanted and in the meantime completely changed how a guitar could be used in music. He would’ve been 78 years old and just thinking what he could’ve done if he’d lived is mind blowing.
The intro is cut off. That’s one of the best parts of the song! Jimi’s use of the wah pedal is masterful. And, yes Amber! Jimi was using his teeth to pick the last section of the song. Haha! You saw it!
When I was in college in the mid 80s, I interned at a very eclectic radio station in San Francisco and I often got to meet amazing musicians. In addition to B.B. King and a few others, I did get to meet Ritchie Havens. He was very nice and had such a peaceful, lovely vibe about him.
The best live performance of Jimi Hendrix, which shows his true greatness, is “Machine Gun” by Band of Gypsies. It’s only him, a bass player and a drummer. They set a steady beat and bass line and he does EVERYTHING else. There is a video on RUclips that’s hazy and there’s one with audio only, but the best sound quality is from the Band of Gypsies album itself. All three are the same performance at the Fillmore East. It’s a bit long but worth it. It’s important to remember that Jimi did not have the advanced technology we have today. He did it with feedback and virtuosity. I hope you’ll give it a shot.
This is correct!
It was genius.
Absolutely right. In a sea of superlatives, that performance stands above all the rest. Machine Gun.
Best solo ever.
Yep, Machine Gun is a masterpiece.
Jimi not only plays the greatest guitar, he does it with style.
This guy actually made Eric Clapton walk of stage with his first minor performance in a club in London Jimi arrived with ches chandler who ask Eric if he could give Jimi a few minutes jam Eric stood opened mouth then walked out chandler's asked what's wrong he said how in god's name can I follow that
The way I undertad it Jimi jumped on a chair and blew them away ..
@@dave1367 I heard from someone who was there one of the club members
I've read that all the best guitarists of the day tried to see Jimi if he had a show in town. That's respect.
Does that surprise anyone? Clapton isnt that good, frankly.
Pure creative energy and expression. Jimi wasnt trying to be a "rock star" or trying to slot neatly into an established rock business by doing all the established things that people who make rock music did later, because he wasnt a money obsessed egotist with careerist, "rock star" ambitions - He was just being himself and was absolutely about music and everything else was a distant second - Or as Lemmy said, Jimi was a pure musical spirit, that couldnt be bought. Absolute one off. 🎸🕊
Lots of us had already left because of the bad weather by the time Hendrix played. There were only around 50,000 who stayed. Another great performance of this was his concert in Maui 1970.
I'm a white european guy and i listen Jimi since i was a kid (thanks to my dad and my uncle). Ok i was born in the 70's so that helped, but i find almost incredible that, in 2024, there are young americans who have never heard him...
There can only be one rock guitarist GOAT! In my opinion Jimi Hendrix is it!! Number 2 for me is Chuck Berry, 3 is BB King, 4 is Slash and 5 is Eddie Van Halen!❤️❤️
If you really, REALLY want to hear Jimi at the absolute top of his game in the studio, type in the words, "hendrix" "house" "burning" "down" and listen to the song "House Burning Down." The song was recorded in 1968(!) with all analog equipment. A must listen if ever there was one. 🎸
You must do Jimi Hendrix song titled Fire , amazing, and don’t forget to listen to the amazing drummer on that song, do the studio version, don’t wait, don’t hesitate, just do it, Jimi deserves the time ! 👍 love your channel 😎
He put every ounce of his heart and soul into it.
Oh my gosh, that brought back so many happy hippie days memories!! There are great guitar players, but he is “The Guitar God” in my book! Raw, nasty, hard, it’s like him & his guitar become one or something. So hard to put it in words what the experience is like when you listen & watch him play! Janis = voice & Jimi = guitar! Both lost too damn early!! Just try to consider what else they could have brought us! Blows your mind, right! Oh, what an great time to be young, a hippie in love with this musical era!!
♥️The old white hippie woman♥️
Right there with you
Yes the audience was in the moment,living,feeling,vibrating to the moment....Not a mobile phone in site....Man I miss those days.
Everyone listens to SRV's version. About time someone reacted to Jimi's version. Please listen to the original long version (not the slight return) from the Electric Ladyland album. Had a very young Steve Winwood on keys.
That's the one where Jimi invited Jazz Rock guitarist Larry Coryell, RIP to record that song with him. Coryell turned him down because he felt Jimi had done everything.

IMAGINE leaning on the right side of the stage, just 6-10 feet from JIMI, in Miami Rock Festival. Or being inside a gutted out bowing alley turned into The Image music club, sitting on the floor, 20 feet from CREAM. And the tickets were $3.00!
Jimi is an absolute legend. Try Stone Free, All Along The Watchtower, Foxy Lady or Little Wing. Actually you can't go wrong with any of his songs.
Machine Gun from the live album Band of Gypsys.
You guys have to check out Jimi Hendrix- 12 String Blues... it's an incredibly close video with the master. Just a 1-on-1 interview while he absolutely shreds. Crazy to see how casual he is while playing mesmerizing stuff. Love the reaction as always!
Hendrix invented it and took it to the edge of the Universe. Others pay tribute, but are Earthbound in comparison. Writing the music, the poetry, the recording techniques, the effects, the clothes and oh yeah, the guitar licks, all aspects of Jimi that have been used by others ever since. I would suggest a bunch of stuff, including the mellow stuff that included chordal techniques that again, everyone, ever since, uses (or tries to), but unfortunately the Hendrix Estate does not allow his music on youtube, which is shameful and is ruining his being completely taken into the present. Hopefully in the future some smart people will take over his catalogue and share it with the world...
1. Jimi Hendrix
2. The most UNDERRATED guitarist of all time - Prince
3. Eddie Van Halen
4. Stevie Ray Vaughn
5. Kenny Wayne Shepherd Check out "Blue on Black" I believe he was only 17 when he recorded it.
So many songs to hear when it comes to Jimi...how about "Castles Made of Sand"?
YES! Castles made of sand, Little Wing, All along the watch tower The wind cries Mary. All great songs. Then we can get into the psychedelic with Purple Haze, Foxy Lady, and Fire. Then there is "are you experienced" that's just sexy and star spangled banner that is incredible!
So much good music! A talent with a beautiful sound gone too soon
That was amazing and your reaction was great. Nice call on Richie Havens. I've always thought he was amazing at Woodstock. Raw honest emotion and passion. Brilliant.
This was closing out Woodstock. Hendrix was a master innovator.
Actually Jimi Hendrix played for the smallest crowd at WOODSTOCK , he was Monday morning after most people left , he only played in front of roughly 40,000 , the other 350,000 already split . Jimi was also the highest paid at WOODSTOCK , for playing to the smallest crowd !! I would request a song , but JIMI has too many good ones !! My top five guitar gods , in no certain order , Jimi Hendrix , Johnny Winter , Tommy Bolin , Jeff Beck , and of course , Frank Zappa !!! Then there's Alvin Lee of TEN YEARS AFTER , Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple , Stevie Ray ,,,,,,,,!!!!!!!!
I personally became a bigger fan when he played with Band of Gypsys with Billy Cox and Buddy Miles. I feel like he was playing more harmoniously with those guys. The Experience was amazing, but lacked an organic quality. Just my opinion. Either way, he was the king...still wish he was here to amaze us today.
I liked the band with Billy and Mitch on the drums. You can't go wrong with Jimi.
There is a legend that before Jimi died, he and Miles Davis were going to team up. They rented an apartment to jam in and wanted Paul McCartney for bass.
They wrote the Beatles manager, who killed the message before Paul got it.
Just imagine, a Jazz Goat, a Blues-Rock Goat, and a Rock Goat.
I love watching you kids every single day. I’m retired and Hendrix was like a God in 69. He was in the 101st Airborne with my father in the late 50s, early 60s. You may have already noticed that he’s a left handed who played a right hand guitar flipped over with Strings reverse order. You can’t see anyone exactly replicate his sound. Keep rocking. Peace!
THE ORIGINAL GOAT OF ALL...TOP GUITARIST IS HENDRIX...ALL THE GUITARISTS IN THE ORIGINAL LYNYRD SKYNYRD AND SLASH OF GUNS N ROSES
This is VooDoo Chile "slight return". The full version is an insane blues riff that's about 15 minutes. A Texas blues man named Stevie Ray Vaughan did an amazing job playing this too.
Top 5 ..1-Jimi Hendrix, 2-Eric Clapton, 3-Jimmy Page, 4-David Gilmour, 5-Brian May. Thanks for playing this on my 49th wedding anniversary. As we said back then "if you remember Woodstock, you weren't there." Take that any way you want. wink wink They ran out of tickets so a lot of people got in for free. It was raining, dirty, stinky but people were sharing everything they had. And it was the most peaceful & happy 1/2 million people ever gathered together. People could learn something from that nowadays.
Jimi Hendricks, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Derek Trucks, Rory Gallagher, Jimmy Page, Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy, BB King, Freddy King
Jimi didn't play until Monday morning after most of the crowd had already gone home. There was an estimated 25-40 thousand people left, so the people still there could move around pretty easily.
...and The Who went on at 5am or some shit, the promoters really messed up the timing of the two best acts there.
@@pulsarlights2825 The whole event pretty much devolved into chaos from the start, but nobody there really cared. The organizers offered Hendrix an opportunity to move up his slot, but he insisted on going on last no matter what.
It's not accurate to think that The Who were the #2 act on the bill. Blood Sweat and Tears was the second highest paid band after Hendrix, followed by Joan Baez, Creedence Clearwater, Jefferson Airplane, The Band, and Janis Joplin who all got more than The Who.
@@gotham61 The Who were not really "The Who" yet, the band they eventually became. Woodstock was only 4 months or so after Tommy was released, so I see your point. The whole show was a cluster, I think they lost money on the festival initially but they made it back from the film....
Taught himself guitar and strung it for left hand!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jimi was a "MONSTER" at Woodstock! You should check out his performance of "Machine Gun" live with The Band Of Gypsys at the Filmore East in New York on New Years Eve 69/70. Band Of Gypsys was an all black band with Billy Cox on bass and Buddy Miles on drums. In fact, Billy Cox who was an old army buddy of Jimi's is playing bass in this performance at Woodstock. I wish you would react to "Brother To Brother" by Canadian singer/musician Gino Vannelli. The album version of the same title. His voice and musical arrangements are phenomenal! I promise you won't be disappointed! ❤️
Machine Gun had guitar sounds that can't be duplicated.
Go back and watch the movie "Woodstock". I was supposed to go, but I couldn't afford to lose my job. So I passed on the chance. Passed on Altamont, too, but I heard on the radio what kind of violence took place that time. Woodstock was a first for a 3 day concert festival. It was 3 days of rain, mud, very limited services, but also huge numbers of people cooperating to get through, eat and party while listening to absolutely world class music by both stars of the day and future icons. Everybody from Jefferson Airplane to Santana, the band. Country Joe & the Fish to Crosby, stills & Nash. And, of course as you noted here, one morning they were greeted with the most iconic guitarist ever playing the national anthem in a way no one had ever heard before.
Most of the crowd was gone by the time Jimi went on for the finale to Woodstock. He was actually starting to move away from the gimmicky things like playing with his teeth and behind his back, but he was still Jimi. Do a deeper dive on Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler for guitarists that have a more melodic bent.
My top 6 is as follows :
1) Jimmy Hendrix
2) SRV
3) Jimmy Page ( Led Zeppelin )
4) EVH ( Van Halen )
5) David Gilmore ( Pink Floyd )
6) Eric Clapton ( Derek and the Domino's/ Cream/ The Yardbirds )
But Chuck Berry must be mentioned as pioneer and innovator !!!
That's my 6
My top 5 is
1) Jimi Hendrix
2) David Gilmour
3) Jimmy Page
4) Eric Clapton
5) Tony Iommi
I would have to include SRV and Jeff Healy on my list.
Shout out for Iommi. I dig it...
@@barrycohen311 Yeah, Iommi is always cited as the pioneer of heavy metal but he does not get as much respect just for being the amazing guitar player he is. I saw Sabbath at least a dozen times, no mattet the singer and he was always the hilight of the show for me. Those 5 guys are the very best but my next 5 is almost as good, with Richie Blackmore, Brian May, Eddie Van Halen, Carlos Santana and for me, Michael Schenker. SRV= next 5. Rock On!
SRV definitely belongs in the top 5 for sure!
He was the closer for Woodstock. because of rain, he performed on Monday morning when a lot of people already left. SRV said without Hendrix there would be no SRV.
Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin is one of my absolute favorite guitarists. If you haven't already, check out the live version of LZ's "Since I've Been Loving You"? Page's soloing on that is amazing!
Oh yeah 😎👍🎸☮️
I saw Jimi at the Troy Armory around late 67 or early 68. I was 10 y.o., my father owned a sound company, and he was dropping off a couple of mics to the venue and we went to the dressing room and met Jimi. From then on, I have been a fan and collector. What a show he put on. How fortunate I was but the best was when I went to Woodstock w/ my father and sister and saw him Monday morning. There will never be another like him. P.S. I have the whole Woodstock concert with every preformer on Reel to Reels. Woodstock Complete doesnt even come close to what I have. Too bad I cant legally sell it but who cares.
Top 5 guitarists for me are jimi hendrix, Brian May, Prince, nile Rodgers, Eddie van Halen.
Jimi Hendrix set the bar he is the standard of Excellence for every future guitarist striving to be worthy which is excellent
I really think you would like a guitarist named Eric Johnson; his instrumental "Cliffs of Dover" is a masterwork. There's a great live version available on RUclips.
Yes! Austin City Limits! It's the definitive recording of the song.
