    His Star Spangled Banner into Purple Haze into Villanova Junction to wrap up the Woodstock festival is a historic moment in rock music.

    Silas, I just clicked on this and I'm only in the introduction but I really wanted to say that I think it's great that you're interested in checking out the studio version First generally. There are some exceptions to the rule certainly but most often, if you do that? You're making the most of your journey because this is what became the hit in the first place, or even if it's a deep cut on an album it's a deep cut that is a fan favorite for a reason. And also, it's what we would have initially heard on the radio, probably in heavy rotation for a while which in turn would make a lot of us go out and buy the record album, or in the case of Boston for example, the 8-track cassette, laugh. But overall, it is what everybody knew and it's the way that these bands and these artists are known. And yeah of course you would go see them in concert if they came through and you had the opportunity and that's just icing on the cake of what you already knew and loved from the audio recording. So I'm really glad you have that approach to it I really am.

      Anything prior to early 80's is suspect as far as live footage with good sound. Some exceptions would be really big bands like The Beatles who would use film $$$. And also much work is put into the studio version. In fact Jimi ( like The Beatles) used the Studio as a creative instrument not just a recording device. Speeding up tapes...slowing them down...playing them backwards. A good example would be his studio vs live version of The Star Spangled Banner. You owe it to yourself to check out the studio version. Jimi uses all the tricks on that one.

    And the thing is, his vocals will grow on you. He had gotten out of the army and Vietnam was in full swing and we didn't really have that many black performers in that genre yet although there were definitely a handful but he was just so cool. He was left-handed but he didn't get a left-handed guitar he, he just played a right-handed Telecaster and strung the strings on it in reverse order and played it backwards so to speak and then he was really good at using that why pedal and then he notoriously play through a lot of fuzz which is a brand-new effect at the time. But listen to more of his songs and he's a great vocalist in my book. He's really good at what he does. Listen to his iconic and haunting ballad Hey Joe. It was a huge hit but he had so many. And I really hope you check out at least his version of The Star-Spangled Banner, recorded live at Woodstock, check out Crosstown Traffic if you want a breakneck romp, the list goes on and on. And then of course one of his greatest songs, All Along the Watchtower, which is just a fantastic cover of a Bob Dylan song that he had written just a year before I think. Dylan loved his version of it.

    I always try to put my two cents worth in about listening to the studio versions first and then going to the live version. That's how we did it when we were growing up. When a new album was released we went to the record store and bought it and played it till we wore it out. Then eventually after a couple albums under their belt a live album would be released. We would go out by that LP and wear it out. Every now and then bootlegs would be available of some live performances. But yeah you have it right. Do it like we did😊

    Jimi was one of the early adopters of pedal effects. He used a fuzz to get the distorted guitar sound, and I believe the high sounds you heard were using an octave pedal.

    @stevedahlberg8680 Год назад +2

    Damn man, I forgot how much that song rocks just totally hard. I'm not 100% sure but I think it to end it sounds to me like something we do is guitar players sometimes and when you've got everything turned up that loud you can actually use your fingers or in this case the pick across the strings in that high-tension area between the nut and the tuning pegs. Up over the headstock of the guitar. They are so tight but they all have different widths and tensile strengths and characteristics just like when you play it down in the regular part of the guitar neck and below, so it's related it's just under extremely high tension and so they have these really high pings like that that are almost like harmonics.

  • @stevedahlberg8680
    @stevedahlberg8680 Год назад +2

    This is a fascinating intro to a song in a lot of ways. It's tritones leading the way, and they were already popular in jazz at this point, but they didn't show up much in mainstream music. That's why Jimi Hendrix just dropped the bomb on everybody with it and it's become an iconic introduction and a huge introduction of tritones into ultimately more prog-rock that evolve later for example.
    I know that you have some knowledge of piano until you can compose a tritone really easily by definition if you think about it from a keyboard point-of-view. Just put your root note on middle C, go up a fifth and then down a half step, meaning a diminished fifth or an augmented 4th, F# or Gb, either way you want to think about it, then go up another fifth from that and then flat that one (diminish it) from C# (Db) to end on the octave above middle C.
    That is your tritone. Technically it can consist of only two notes which is that diminished 5th or that augmented 4th, but the reason it's thought of as triple is because if you repeat the rule you end up back at the octave on top and so what Jimi Hendrix was doing here in this introduction is, he was alternating between the lower and a roll and the next one up back and forth. So it's only two comes in the interval at a time but it's alternating back and forth between the lower and upper part of the tritone.
    In this song, the root of it is in E, so the diminished fifth of that would be a B-flat, and then the next note above that would get you back to being the E that is the octave above the lower E.

    Silas, ARE YOU EXPERIENCED? by Jimi Hendrix is one of the most important and celebrated debut albums in the history of rock music. Except for one throw-away track written by the bass player, the entire album consists of classic and essential Hendrix songs. Beyond listening to this album, if you really want to get a sense of how powerful and revolutionary Jimi's music was for its time, then also check out the film of his American concert debut at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival (available on DVD and Blu-Ray). At various points of the show, he plays guitar behind his back, with his teeth, and concludes by smashing it and lighting it on fire. The slacked jaws and dazed-eye expressions on all the nerdy-looking young men with Coke-bottle glasses and young women with bee-hive hairdos in the audience lets you know that the likes of Jimi Hendrix had never been seen and heard before in American pop culture.

    Silas - you love guitar licks and the one classic artist you haven’t yet visited is David Bowie. From 1970 to 1973 David worked with one of THE most admired guitarists of his generation - the sadly departed Mick Ronson. To get a flavour of Mick’s brilliance listed to David Bowie’s “The Width Of A Circle” from his 1970 album “ The Man Who Sold The World” and the track “Moonage Daydream” off the 1972 album “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars” - I absolutely promise you that you will be on your feet and behind your chair for both tracks. Love your reactions to my generations of music. You make my day.😊

      Admittedly, the 1969 Woodstock festival was a cultural milestone for a generation of young Boomers, but Jimi's performance there is seriously over-hyped and overrated. The expanded band of musicians he utilized for that particular show had not had adequate time to rehearse properly. There are other much better and more noteworthy Hendrix live concert performances than this one.

    Purple haze is referring to tripping on acid using purple pyramid (liquid acid) in the eyes as a means of ingesting the acid. Tripping causes lights to have a haze around them and the purple liquid in the eyes give a purple hue to things you're seeing. Dropping acid is something almost everyone should do at least once in their lives. Some experts even recommend doing it periodically as a form of mental maintenance. It is an amazing experience.

    • @Daniel-415-Ponce
      @Daniel-415-Ponce Год назад

      The original 1967 UK vinyl release did NOT include some of Hendrix's most well-known and beloved songs such as "Purple Haze" & "Hey Joe" because those particular tracks had already been released in advance as singles, so I would not recommend that version of the album as a first listen for young American audience members. (Granted, in lieu of those hit songs, the UK release did include some remarkable exclusive Hendrix compositions such as his blues classic "Red House" that would not appear on vinyl in the American market until several years had passed from the album's 1967 debut.) Fortunately, because of the expanded time capacity afforded by digital formats of the album such as CD, most versions of the album in recent decades uniformly include ALL the tracks (album, singles & bonuses) that have appeared on different versions of the album from various regions around the world.

    • @davescurry69
      @davescurry69 Год назад

      @Daniel-415-Ponce Yes. Back then the artist's singles were never included on the album in the UK, but were included in the U.S version. My personal preference is for the UK version simply for the inclusion of the superior version of "Red House". As you say, the CD versions these days include all the singles and B-Sides so you can't go wrong now.

    Some rock music has a lot going on in it. Things like effects and distortion, plus panning effects to the left or right. Live performances can't always provide the same types of sound. Jimi Hendrix's music definitely falls in this category. If you want the SOUND, then you need to hear the studio version. if you want to see him work his magic, then you can check out the live version. This recording is a perfect example of that.

    If, you want to listen to live versions, the Woodstock's version of "Purple haze" is the most violent version you could listen to, and one of the best, like all the versions at Woodstock like "Voodoo child", because, the sound of Jimi at Woodstock is the most violent, crazy, cool, sexy, funky, sound i ever heard, and he changed so much the sounds, sometimes it's so violent, and sometimes, like on "Villanova Junction", or "Red House", it's almost clean, and pure....😂😂😂😂😂Coming from another galaxy, as always, with my master on guitar, Jimi..... But, the best version of "Purple haze", live, is, probably, the live at "Berkeley university", 1970.....He's killing it! He exploded everything....And, there's a video version you can watch, if you want, which is more impressive, that the audio version....Peace from France bro 👍 ✌️
