Jack Bruce said the first time he heard Clapton he thought 'now there's a master guitar player.' He added 'But Eric was a guitar player, Jimi was some force of nature.'
Clapton was not at all jealous of Hendrix's playing. He was stunned at how good Hendrix was. He wasn't sulking backstage like this movie shows, but so nervous after witnessing Hendrix that his hands were literally shaking when he tried lighting a cigarette.
My dad was there in '66 London - told me he remembered very clearly this moment because he followed the scene & in this moment the vibe actually was so much more loose & Cream were all smiles and cigarettes, pints etc. Jimi just jammed with them during their set, of course made a big impression - but the guys in Cream were very amicable and open, including Clapton who was gracious and friendly - not at all a sulking petulant twat as portrayed in this scene.
Thank You! And as usual Hollywood with their false portrayals&baseless facts give the public whatever will build their ratings. Like when my Dad, I'm 65 now, sat with us to see "Memphis Belle", he being a former tail gunner B-29, 32missions in Tinian, was able to tell us"this never happened,could have never happened,hollywood crap,etc. Usually it,s written by people who have no exp.
I'm glad you could set the record straight, I have always heard that it was a causal jam, it was cream after all. I've heard Clapton was shocked, but he didn't get disrespectful or demeaning, so this scene annoyed me since they make Clapton out to be an A hole to Hendrix.
Thanks for clearing this up. I have no desire to watch the film now. Hollywood, most films, etc. are just outright lies. I wonder what else we've been lied to about.
The movie made it more dramatic that it really was. Eric was not that sore, and Hendrix not arrogant. Eric did not left the audience but sat at the back admiring.
Eric was humble he said my life was never the same after ❤. There is a verry emotinal interview were Eric has to cry when they ask him about jimi's death. Ik kon not even speak. I've someone realy knows how soecial Jimi is and was Eric knows it. They had much respect both ways. When i saw that interview i realy cried my eyes out. Eric was deeply emotinal like he lost the most importent thing in lif. Someone that spoke the same vibe.
@@wieringawouter5666 Yes, that interview with Eric is on the 'Tube somewhere. Eric was talking about a left handed Strat he had bought for Jimi, he was going to give to Jimi the day Jimi had died, and Jimi's death apparently crushed Eric. He was on the verge of tears telling the interviewer about it -- and the interview appeared to be in the 70s or 80s I think.
@@chriscampbell9191 yes that one. It realy hits me to see that it makes him cry i mean jimi touches us all you know like we miss him even when we diddn't know him 🙏❤
0:37 it's impossible that Clapton, a veteran of the British blues scene, would not know tunes such as Killing Floor or Mannish Boy. Though Clapton was initially floored by Hendrix's playing, by all accounts the pair remained friends until the latter's death. Sunshine of Your Love was actually inspired by Hendrix's music, and Hendrix in turn would frequently cover the song live with his own group. This scene is cool but it gets their meeting all wrong.
Eric knew killing floor but the way Howling Wolf did it. Not Jimi's sped up way. Ginger Baker didnt even want him on stage. From multiple re-tellings it kind of did happen this way although I think Chas was more gleeful than apologetic in real lfe.
EC has always been one of the most humble and low-key Superstars you'll ever see. It's a shame he'll never get to play with Hendrix in his later years like he has with Winwood and Santana.
Theres a 2 minute video where the members and witnesses explained how it went down, look up on youtube "jimi Hendrix jamming with cream (clapton)". He was indeed jealous enough to walk away shook.
@@motherlessblues1565 he was an egoistic dude in the 60s😂there are videos of cream explaining how he did walk off shook and blown away, if he wasnt egoistic as shit he wouldnt have done that and tried jamming out and have fun. Kinda how jimi was portraying himself to be, a guy who loved guitar and loved playing for people.
Definitely has that hollywood stank about it, like the Queen movie, an embellished and reworked version of reality to fit the commercial formula. But this clip actually makes me wanna see it, Andre has the Hendrix voice and look down to pretty much perfection, and whoever's playing that guitar does a fantastic job. End of the day it's cool to know that Hollywood is introducing the stories of legends to new audiences who may learn something.
It is very unlikely a stranger from faraway land to tell Eric who was considered then above all guitarist that "Ill teach you” Jimi would not have uttered such words he was a very silent guy as many have witnessed.
Jimi was incredible soft spoken and shy, surely wouldn't have said " teach you" and brits are fairly reserved and soft spoken I don't think it played out as antagonistic as it is portrayed here.
Everybody who knew Jimi, played with him or interviewed him said he was always very humble. Can't imagine he would be invited to play with a "Supergroup" like Cream (the original "Power Trio") and tell them "I'll teach you".
This acting was embarrassing though. Clapton and Hendrix were both very respectful towards each other. These characters don't resemble them even slightly. It just depicts them as ego maniacs.
And yet Townsend turned out to be wrong. People like hyperbolic quotes... looks good in print. If Hendrix was a better singer he might have had a long career had he not OD'd of course. . He was the perfect man for the psychedelic moment. That era was bound to end just like Disco /Hair Metal/Grunge had to end. Tis the nature of music... Every generation wants their own music... same with clothes and hair styles. It really doesn't matter if it's better than the prior generation or not.. it's "theirs"..that's all that matters.
@@jackcowen9603 didn't say that... But Clapton could sing a tad better. You ignore the obvious. Have a nice whatever. I feel more stupid as human for having engaged with you in conversation. Pip pip... Cheerio... Wutever

Them people have no idea just how blessed they were to be in the presence of such an iconic innovative legendary musician and performer!!! Without Jimmie electric guitar is not the same❤Facts!!!!
Lol!...Did you just really comment this “Hendrix was a force of nature” like you came up with that? That was a direct quote said about Hendrix in an excerpt of that BBC documentary “the seven ages of rock” that’s all over youtube. Nothing annoys me more than ppl parroting things and trying to pass it off as their own idea. Here’s where this guy plagiarized that quote from. 1;17. ruclips.net/video/KPJgtQwtVVA/видео.html
This sounds great and the event is legendary, but show me an where a truthful eyewitness testified that 1- Hendrix acted this ungracious and arrogant and 2- Clapton ran off the stage like a mad little girl. I believe nothing happened the way this video portrays it, am I wrong?
Search "when eric clapton met jimi hendrix" apparently clapton was blown away, jimi played one of his fav songs that was too hard to play like it was nothing.
There were a lot of big names in the house the night this came down... Jeff Beck, several members of the Stones, etc. - and it sort of rearranged the comfortable furniture layout in their respective kitchens. I remember hearing Hendrix for the first time, and being stopped in my tracks with a sort of "What the HELL was THAT?!!" sort of feeling washing over me. I immediately wanted to hear more.
i like how accurate this scene is, first hand accounts who were a part of cream and chas both were basically reading the script in their account of this moment
@@paulallen9158 the clip overplays it a bit. But all of the accounts I’ve read and heard say that he was stunned by Hendrix’s guitar playing. In that he was so innovative and miles ahead from what anyone else was doing. I don’t think he was being insecure or petty. Just shocked.
Took it to a whole new level like the innovative pioneer he was!! Wasn't easy though getting passed that racial tension but the man let his music do the talking for him❤ So oroud ofvyiu Jimmi❤ Kev

As far as I know, Jack Bruce never played a Telecaster bass, particularly in the time depicted this video because this scene is 1966 and that bass wasn't even introduced until 1968. It would not have been very hard to research what instrument Bruce really played in this period.
This is obviously not real footage... But a theatrical play on the legend of when hendrix showed up to albert hall and asked clapton to play... We can only hope that footage exists somewhere. Legend has it that Jimmy politely asked if he could jam with Clapton and chose Killing Flooor which Clapton thought for some reason was too hard to cover. apparently Clapton felt embarrassed because Jimmy pulled it off quite well but there's no footage of this just accounts by those who were there. I hope this clears it up a little bit
Trouble I've got with that film is it portrayed Jimi as a big head. I really don't believe that. Very humble, shy even. I'm sure he knew who he was but not in a way that made him feel better than anyone else. Just my opinion. Peace and Love ✌✌✌
@@tonywestwood7019 Yeah, tbf I re-watched it recently and I did get that impression. Especially since recently I spoke to someone who was actually friends with Jimi an she told me that he was very shy and polite. I still for the most part enjoyed the movie. I thought it captured the ambiance of the music scene at the time :)
I think it´s a really bad idea to make a movie about someone who´s look and sound is so immensely distinctive and well documented as Jimi´s. Anyone familiar with the sonics going on between those old Marshalls you had to turn up LOUD and his Strat can tell you, this is light years away from the force of nature that Hendrix really was.
It’s ridiculous to insinuate that Clapton didn’t know who Jimi was or that he had never heard Mannish Boy or Killing Floor. Clapton did an album in 1970 with Howlin Wolf, and was known to hold him and other older bluesmen in high regard.
(It was during a gig ,i don't know if Clapton was comfortable to finish it after what Jimi did that day , he wanted to meet Clapton it is said that it was part of the deal with Chas Chandler " ok i want to go to England but i want to (meet) play with Clapton " ....)
Seems like some poetic license here-I dont think Hendrix /Clapton had anything else but respect for each other.I think it was Jeff Beck,on seeing Hendrix in a club,who said we might as well all look for new jobs now!
Those guys were scared to death that someone better would come challenging them. 50 years later nobody better came. The same story is with the classical composers.
He looks like Ralph Machio trying to play. He can't play a frigging note and it shows terribly. No wonder it was never released in the US. That's a Japanese movie trailer!
@@chriskenner600 Totally agree Chris. I knew this movie was going to be a stinker when I saw the preview on t.v. one night. It'll never be done realistically enough to be worth watching. He was just one of a kind.
3000 doesnt look or sound like Jimi at all this is the worst film ever and who ever is playing the guitar in this shit is awful if people think this is a representation of Jimi they have no clue about the man period end of discussion...
@@chriskenner600 Andre is hardly a guitar player in the first place but remember he had to try and look convincing playing left handed. Something good right handed players will struggle with so I think he did okay given the circumstances and is probably the perfect dude to play jimi in a more accurate film.
Clapton was not angry at Jimi's talent, just shocked as was the entire London club scene... and later the world! Eric could still hold his own up against Jimi..
Jack Bruce said Clapton liked Killing Floor," but it was to difficult for Eric. Hubert Sumlin was the guitarist for Howling Wolf but Hendrix didn't copy his solo, he played off it and took it further. All those Brit cats were blues derivative players while Jimi was Innovative and as Billy Cox stated "Jimi was a Blues Master." who loved Jazz; Classical, Country, Folk, R&B, Gospel, Soul & Blues. He fused them all together.
The moment that Eric realises that he is not the guitar god anymore. EDIT: And this is a Manish Boy jam i see. In real life Jimi played the guitar under the feet, behind his back and with the teeth. But in real life Eric went downstairs and said “Is he really that fucking good?”. That one was true.
So, everybody talking about what's going down here, and how accurate/inaccurate it is, take this as a yardstick... Jack Bruce on a Fender Bass!! Other than the Fender VI it didn't happen.
@@richardperez7677 song is killing floor but this particular recording is a little different than how Jimi played it because of copyright reasons, that’s why I want to know because I think this version is great
Yes, according to people who were there including people portrayed in the movie. Jimi came on stage with all his tricks and flash, it wasn't thinkable that somebody could Jam with Cream as they were regarded as the top and Jimi Hendrix blew everyone away. Eric's hands just dropped and he watched Jimi for a while then went backstage and smoked. That's the actual account of events anyway. I don't know if he was that arrogant about Jimi coming onstage to jam with them, maybe it's exaggerated just to show how it would have looked to the audience that this random guy from America dared to get onstage with a guitar god. He made a lot of great guitarists in England wonder if they were really that good but Jimi and Eric were good friends, particularly early on in that London scene before he became really huge back in America. Hendrix bought a style of playing that people would be trying to emulate for some time after.
i'm yet to see this moive... and being a snob here! but factually there was only 1 guitar amp on stage. and Jimi plugged into the second channel of Jack's Fender Bassman so he could be heard. A time traveler who was at the concert, told me!
Big Clapton fane here. It seems to me he has always loved playing with equals. Of course he was drugged out at this poit in time. What is this movie? The Clapton character is not too believable.
Хобби
Great seeing jimi been unknown here before he went on to have huge hits like Hey Ya and Ms Jackson
Best RUclips comment of all times. 🤣
..and Foxy Lady ..and Purple Rain
He was dope in four brothers
Lmao! I see what you did there.
dont forget about him playing professional basketball with Will Ferrell and Woody Harrelson
Jack Bruce said the first time he heard Clapton he thought 'now there's a master guitar player.' He added 'But Eric was a guitar player, Jimi was some force of nature.'
Exactly; Charles Cross wrote an extensive researched book on Jimi named "Room full of mirrors."
That sure sums up the difference!
Clapton was not at all jealous of Hendrix's playing. He was stunned at how good Hendrix was. He wasn't sulking backstage like this movie shows, but so nervous after witnessing Hendrix that his hands were literally shaking when he tried lighting a cigarette.

@@chriskenner600 Andre is hardly a guitar player in the first place but remember he had to try and look convincing playing left handed. Something good right handed players will struggle with so I think he did okay given the circumstances and is probably the perfect dude to play jimi in a more accurate film.
I think what surprises me the most are all the comments revealing that many actually believe (and expect) that "Hollywood" make documentaries.
i wish this had really been recorded on video...
Clapton was not angry at Jimi's talent, just shocked as was the entire London club scene... and later the world! Eric could still hold his own up against Jimi..
Great casting - the actors look very much like the original musicians.
This is from the movie andre 3000 of outkast rap group, was in. The movie didn't screen everywhere. You're lucky to get a dvd copy if you can find it.
Jack Bruce said Clapton liked Killing Floor," but it was to difficult for Eric. Hubert Sumlin was the guitarist for Howling Wolf but Hendrix didn't copy his solo, he played off it and took it further. All those Brit cats were blues derivative players while Jimi was Innovative and as Billy Cox stated "Jimi was a Blues Master." who loved Jazz; Classical, Country, Folk, R&B, Gospel, Soul & Blues. He fused them all together.
Pissed them off, as they got off, "I'll teach ya."
The moment that Eric realises that he is not the guitar god anymore.
EDIT: And this is a Manish Boy jam i see. In real life Jimi played the guitar under the feet, behind his back and with the teeth. But in real life Eric went downstairs and said “Is he really that fucking good?”. That one was true.
I thought it was going to be a crap film but it was brilliant,Such a shame they stoped them using his music .
Que película es, pasen el link de la película completa por favor
♥️♥️♥️
Bam bam bam, no foreplay
never happened like that !!!
man i would have loved to been there and seen this
Fuckin aye!!!
All lies bro
Clapton was not afraid to play with artists who exceeded his talent, Jimi and Duane Allman just to name a couple. I respect him for that…
Jimi did not exceed Eric sorry that's just nonsense
Bien dicen que lo bueno dura poco!!!
True,Hendrix blew it away
A jet taking off 🤩
JOI MAA HORA KRISHNA JOI GURUDEV
ok first of all eric didnt get a perm until after he met jimi
Just push PL🎶AY🖤
So, everybody talking about what's going down here, and how accurate/inaccurate it is, take this as a yardstick... Jack Bruce on a Fender Bass!! Other than the Fender VI it didn't happen.
As a Bruce-fan, I looked for this comment. Now I don't have to type a lot. :-)
EC did perfectly the right thing
Hendrix may have been better at the time, but there is no way Hendrix would be able to create something like tears in heaven. All legends
Hohoho. True , he fortunately wouldn't have written or played anything as bad as it !!
@@dandelion6760 whatever floats your boat
This movie kinda let me down...had so much potential!
Imagine saying to Eric Clapton "it's easy! I'll teach you"
Does anyone know who played the guitar for this movie? What a great reimagining of this song
Song name ?
@@richardperez7677 song is killing floor but this particular recording is a little different than how Jimi played it because of copyright reasons, that’s why I want to know because I think this version is great
Jimi, by a razors edge, but Eric can make the guitar holla at you too. They both mean/meant business!
I wish Jimi had gone on stage with the Rolling Stones! That would’ve been cool 👍
I think the rolling stones hated Jimi around this time
I was looking for the real footsage of the Hendrix-Clapton rock off. Does it exist?
This is a movie, not the actual event.
Cowboys are the only ones who stay in tune anyways....
Does anybody know how did the recording of this version used in the movie?
Havent seen the movie. But is this the way it really went down? I thought Eric stayed onstage and they actually had a good time
Yes, according to people who were there including people portrayed in the movie. Jimi came on stage with all his tricks and flash, it wasn't thinkable that somebody could Jam with Cream as they were regarded as the top and Jimi Hendrix blew everyone away. Eric's hands just dropped and he watched Jimi for a while then went backstage and smoked. That's the actual account of events anyway. I don't know if he was that arrogant about Jimi coming onstage to jam with them, maybe it's exaggerated just to show how it would have looked to the audience that this random guy from America dared to get onstage with a guitar god.
He made a lot of great guitarists in England wonder if they were really that good but Jimi and Eric were good friends, particularly early on in that London scene before he became really huge back in America. Hendrix bought a style of playing that people would be trying to emulate for some time after.
The day Clapton met God !
"Aww come on man U a bluesman U gotta know these songs. I I'll teach U".
80’s power toms On Ginger’s drum kit.
How is it there is not one known living person who was there , and Jack and Ginger are gone. Has anyone ever seen an interview w Eric on this night?
Kathy Etchingham was there Jimi's girlfriend.
Not one comment asking who is really playing this music is it Hendrix or is it someone else??? Whoever it is it's fabulous!!!!!!
The songs were written for the movie 👍🏻
i'm yet to see this moive... and being a snob here! but factually there was only 1 guitar amp on stage. and Jimi plugged into the second channel of Jack's Fender Bassman so he could be heard.
A time traveler who was at the concert, told me!
Big Clapton fane here. It seems to me he has always loved playing with equals. Of course he was drugged out at this poit in time. What is this movie? The Clapton character is not too believable.
It happened Clapton admitted it
what movie is this ?
What is the title of this film - or is it a film??
it is a movie?
What is the name of the movie. Looks interesting
Movie title .. Anyone
