Really excited to see you do Hendrix. Yet another one, like Billy Preston, like the Isleys, like James Brown who, at one time played in Little Richard's backing band. This is his breakout-he was an earthquake in England when everyone there, including John and Paul, found out about him. Jimi famously played a cover of the Beatles song "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" live on stage two days after the Beatles had released it. Paul was in the audience; he was completely blown away by this guy.
1967 was more the psychedelic era than the hippy era. London's Carnaby Street's clothes were very popular at that point when Hendrix was living in England and they were producing clothes based on the Beatles' Sgt Pepper look, and the Paisley patterned, multi-coloured early Pink Floyd./Small Faces etc. That "Dracula" look has been revamped (see what I did there?) several times since - not least with Prince during his Paisley Park period
@lalapo5304 obviously these things overlap somewhat - the psychedelic era and the hippy era can be seen as the same thing but, in fashion terms, hippies were more long hair, jeans, kaftans etc and regarded as dirty/unwashed by some - more a thing by 68 and 69 (Woodstock being a prime example). 66 and 67 was more swinging sixties fashion with a psychedelic twist. Coiffures, Paisley shirts, ruffled ties - in the UK anyway
The hippie look included a revived interest in Victorian era clothes - which were available in London in the thrift ships - lots of lace, paisley, brocades, ruffs, more lace, applique, bold botanical patterns, fitted waists, high collars.
1967 dubbed "The Summer of Love". The hippie thing began before that but Wall Street and Madison Avenue was hip to the scene and designers got rich creating the "hippie style". I only ever met one three real hippies, dressing like an outsider with these clothes was statement of rebellion until it became mainstream common in the 70s.
Prince dressed like Hendrix, except with more purple. The foppery, the dandy fashions, were more of a British thing. Also check out clips of The Who performing "I Can See For Miles" also dressed for court with the finery. As for "Hey Joe", The Leaves were the first to record it. They released it as a single in 1965. I recovered a copy of their album with that song on it from an attic when I was a teenager in the eighties. It played with pops and cracks and hiss. Billy Roberts holds claim as the songwriter. He played if for years without recording it, but he did eventually. Other notable covers beyond Jimi Hendrix include versions by Otis Taylor, Lee Moses, Patti Smith, and The Fuzztones.
The audience was British, Mug. Culturally more conservative at that time than American audiences. If you watch Jimi at Monterey in '67, the crowd doesn't look and act like that.
I have a long list of favorite guitarists, and Jimi is at the top. That was the style back then. Jimi got famous over in London, and fashion was big over there. The drummer, Mitch Mitchell, was one of the best ever. Both of the other band members are British. Congrats on getting those blue caps off your teeth!
Yes. This is right in the thick of hippies dressing to match the music. Everything changed, quickly. These are children of WWII. Vietnam was being protested. Strange and wild days from conservative to not conservative. Jimi ❤
🌸 anything from the Monterey Pop festival, Jimi included, is fantastic! I think you would really enjoy reacting to anything from there and Jimi did an amazing performance (that performance he plays with his teeth and behind his back and burns his guitar at the end of his set)
I still remember this coming out - I was only 7 but had an older brother in his teens - so I got into a lot of cool music at an early age! We loved hendrix in the UK. It was the time of flower power! Make Love not War (need a bit of that thinking now). Carnaby Street in London was the place to go - flared trousers and hipsters for blokes. Don't know - wasn't into fashion yet at that age - but do remember Twiggy and Mary Quant - the big false eyelashes! Happy days!
Jimi and the boys just came over from swinging London and had clothes bought on Carnaby Street where the high fashion stores sold old military uniforms and drum major outfits. The idea was generally to look "outrageous" and "crazy" wearing these things. It was fun to freak out the straight people.
Mugs try to put yourself in the Times. Jimi was a new experience for us. Note how they dressed in the sixties compared to the seventies. This was the beginning of the 70's Rock era. You can't imagine the new freedoms we had in the 70's, we really thought we were going to change the world ☮️
Drummer was dressed in Edwardian style clothes with the ruffles down the center-from King Edwards time in the 1700s while the US dressed in psychedelic colors and patterns as Jimi is wearing-few ruffles except maybe on the cuffs but lots of love beads and maybe a Nehru jacket.
Fashion came out of Europe during that time. Americans were in Levis and T shirts. Then we started evolving, Elvis was a big influence too. Alot of the Rock musicians brought fashion influence like Jimi Hendrix. Europeans were proper, Americans were laid back too but that was due to all the weed they smoked at that time. Lol.
I don't know I smoke too big a blunt for some reason I thought it was red house my bad red house is done by every Blues musician in the world I think. Morning mugs
That fashion you refer to was high style in Britain at the time. Jimi's got a variation of the style going himself. Back in the day for me Mug which was the first half of the '70's I used to have plad bell bottoms and platform shoes. You want to talk about dated???!!!
In the 60's it was considered rude and disrespectful to be overly expressive or loud in public settings, hence the reserved response from the audience.
Stevie Ray Vaughn wan't even Born yet when Jimi was shocking the world. SRV dressed like Jimi, and played all Jimi's music catalogue. What does that tell you?
You should never interrupt Jimi when he's playing. A lot of white people have curly,, frizzy...even afro-looking hair. Back then, they didn't have all the styling products they have now, so your hair was whatever your hair was. I remember...people had much more interesting hair then they do now. And fashion...well, they were just doing their own thing. It was sort of the opposite of "establishment".
What are my favorite songs that I liked it by so many other people. Now I love me some Jimmy but people are going to get mad at me cuz I really don't think he was that great of a guitar player when you look at Dickie Betts and Clapton and others that were around
1967. He changed Rock music overnight. Seattle's Best.

@@RobONeill-b5etrue. Prior to the hippy clothes, we were copying the Carnaby Street look. Mary Quant and Twiggy were our fashion inspirations.

Jimi played with Little Richard before his solo career, thus his attire influence

LOVE HENDRIX!!!!

Hendix was a fashion unto himself, and all about the blues.

And the world was changed.
Rock fashion ,(on both sides of the Atlantic) , of the late 60’s was very much influenced by British fashion trends in street wear & the “Mods” 😊🤩

Yeah they were very flashy and colorful with their clothes back then!!
The Best there ever was, or will be.
Hendrix didn't write this song but he does the best rendition. Jimi the rainmaker, trailblazer.
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥😎
Nice catch! Never knew he was playing it with his tongue-that's so crazy!
Half black, half Cherokee.
This was the fashion for the 1960s

Mitch Mitchell on drums incredible musician. And yes LSD was getting big at that time. Remember tv was still black and white no color back then.

🌸 the late 60s early 70s were in the psychedelic realm, yes
I think you meant to say Prince is dressed like the drummer not the drummer is dressed like Prince. (Prince was born in 1958)
Think this was filmed on Danish T. V. Respectful audience. Pschodelic rock with strong blues undertones.
In the 60's it was considered rude and disrespectful to be overly expressive or loud in public settings, hence the reserved response from the audience.
Excellent program! Enjoyed it very much!
The fashion was psychedelic and mod, that all came out of the UK bck in 1965-1968
Anything bell bottoms velvet Paisley. Steven Tyler is a good example of fashion back then Janis Joplin a lot of colors
Oh I forgot platform shoes and Fringe
Stevie Ray Vaughn wan't even Born yet when Jimi was shocking the world. SRV dressed like Jimi, and played all Jimi's music catalogue. What does that tell you?
Check out "Mississippi Queen" by Leslie West and Mountain....
Do his cover of Like a Rolling Stone!
Hippies, psychdelic anything goes times.
Dude would have more subscribers if he didn't stop the music so often to talk.
Prince copied a lot from Jimi, though he could never play like him. Jimi got the stage antics from Buddy Guy, who got it from T-Bone Walker.
Were you going with that gun in your hand?
My favorite Hendrix band was the Band of Gypsies, not the Experience.
You should never interrupt Jimi when he's playing. A lot of white people have curly,, frizzy...even afro-looking hair.

And I didn't mean Dickey Betts I'm in Alvin Lee too early
It wasn't just his playing, it was the sound that revolutionized guitar playing.
Stevie Ray copied Jimi. Not the other way around. Jimi played with his teeth and tongue.Jimi was about 15 years before Stevie Ray.
@@garyfletcher844 they are in the same generation though
Album version is better❤
