"When the Power of Love overcomes the Love of Power the world will know peace." Jimi Hendrix
Wow,I love that. Going to have to remember if.
My very favorite quote.
Damn, that's so true.
Keep smoking that shit henry
i thought carlos santana said that
I once heard someone say, “Jimi Hendrix never died Heaven was just part of his tour.”

This performance is 50 years old now. He set the standard for what electric guitar is and should be. This is why we keep coming back to him 50 years later.
And we'll keep coming back to him 50 years from now, Rickey Joyce.
Electric guitar that is. But so true what you say.
It makes me weep hearing this stuff. It's that good. Check out the new Electric Ladyland - 3cd 1 blueray compilation- The sound mix of the album on cd is indescribably good. I'm not sure how they did it. FAR FAR superior to any cd I've ever heard.
Rickey Joyce
Well...there was a guy named Chuck Berry before Jimi. Chuck set the standard.
Chuck didn't set the standard he is the standard! There four king pillars that create the throne of Rock And Roll that King Jimi sat upon. These four pillars were first and foremost Chuck Berry, Bo Diddly Little Richard, and Fats Domino. Can;t forget the great Buddy Guy.
The sound of his guitar on this version of Foxy Lady has me mesmerized!
The greatest guitar player planet earth has ever seen!! R.I.P. to the late great James Marshall Hendrix! Gone but never forgotten! We love you Jimi!
That's right..
Wake the kids up to Hendrix hes toooooooooo gooooooooood so he's baaaaaaaanndd
I was so very fortunate to see him in May, 1970.
Dude! Please tell your story!
Jealousy isn’t a powerful enough word to describe my emotions at this. You are a lucky man.
I had a pair of tickets to see Jimi in May, 1970 in St. Paul, MN as a freshman in college. It was a Sunday night and none of my friends could go. I decided to go by myself and hang onto the 2nd ticket. It's the only show I ever attended solo then or now. So incredibly glad I went - even if by myself.
@@tomevans1757 Amazing!
@@TheFurio2 Very lucky and I willingly acknowledge how lucky I was.
Dude had impeccable timing with rhythm and lead, a downright sexy voice, a gripping stage presence, and timeless fashion. He earned his legacy.
Jimi didn't like the sound of his own voice when singing though, that's the weird part. His vocals fit right in with his music to me, and yep, he earned his legacy for sure!!
@@arejaye tbf most artists have insecurities with their assets. gets the best of us
He was the best
Beautiful guy.. takes your breath away. Yeah a long ago. I’m now 79 years. Jimi was so soo far out cool beautiful, sexy foxy Lady man. Amazing performance I just watched. Lived in London at time. Smoking.. dropping acid booze and And all that time ago…
He Did.
1. This man was talented
2. He played guitar moves that were so complicated, but still he acted so fluently about it
3. Was polite and humble
4. Regarded as the best guitar player of all time to some
5. Taught himself how to play
All this but still there are many people who don't know about him
ampoules1 he taught himself how to play by angrily beating up groupies?
ampoules1 That's a lie they put in that Damn movie . Read any autobiography about Jimi...he never did that
............."As we all know , you just can't believe everything we see and hear , can we" ................(AXIS etc. etc. etc.).......THE MUSIC People............The Music.....
The fact that you started with "me" in a list of some of the greatest rock guitarists off all time discredit you in front of every guitarists ever for a lifetime. You should be ashamed. You sir are one of the biggest DOUCHE I saw on RUclips, and that says a lot.
I think the "some" in number 4 is an understatement
He's almost unanimously considered the greatest guitar player of all time
It’s unreal when you think of all the rock guitarists that have come and gone, all with their own unique styles and special talents and yet none of them have quite gotten to the level of this man in stage.
RIP the three members of The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Jimi Hendrix (November 27, 1942 - September 18, 1970), aged 27
Noel Redding (December 25, 1945 - May 11, 2003), aged 57
Mitch Mitchell (July 9, 1946 - November 12, 2008), aged 62
You will be remembered as legends.
RIP to all and thank you , thank you for sharing your talents with us mere humand
🎸👍

It truly was an experiance. As crazy and unpredictable as they were they had a thought pattern uncanny for its time. Regardless of the tempo this was one of the only rock bands that I could fall asleep to in harmony.
Legends for sure!! They took rock/blues where it'd never gone before, and blew so many minds, and sadly very under appreciated until after his death. I'd have loved to have seen where his talent would've evolved to, but he left us a great legacy and a TON of memories that for me, will always be cherished, especially after getting to meet Jimi and hang out for a while. His on stage and off stage personas, were like total opposites, and he truly loved each and every person who listened and watched him on stage, and was as down to Earth and humble as anybody, when offstage. RIP Mr.Jimi.
@@arejaye Ive thought the same my whole life. The evolution aspect.
The greatest guitarist that the world has ever seen. Just imagine what we would have heard if he had lived. RIP Jimi.
He’s the best by miles ! my man was not even part of earth those guitar solos transcended from outer space 🪐
Yes for sure. The elder statesman of hard rock I think. Who knows where he would have taken us musically.
He probably wouldn't leave any room for the rest of the guitar players thats how good he was
How can you top what he already gave us?
@@Iwontreadyourreply I think the Edge is a bit better honestly. He's not as dextrous as Jimi, but he's infinitely diverse in tone and style.
Jimi Hendrix was way ahead of his time as his music still sounds fresh today, especially his live performances. This guy was and is about as untouchable as one could ever hope to be as a musician and an innovator. Amazing talent, and also Mitch Mitchell on the drums too, pretty much invented hard/heavy rock drumming and his playing also still sounds fresh today just as Jimi's does.
True . Today's music feels very weak and for the musicaly unaware to grab money. Music is an art form and is held back. Was Leonardo held back or Mozart because of money..
You said it all really. Jimi was truly ahead of his time.
John (Mitch) Mitchell was taught by drummer Jim Marshall (yes the amplifier builder).
JImi was right on with his time. He could not exist today. "Before his time" is a cliche'. There is nothing cliche' about Hendrix.
As a Boomer, I recall hearing “Are you Experienced,” “Fresh Cream,” and “the Doors” around the same time in 1967. Weed was just starting to become more available. I spent hours with headphones plugged into my stereo listening to them. I believe I spent most of my time with Hendrix; though I loved them all, what a time to be a teenager.😊
very lucky man
45 years ago we lost you jimi.. sad day indeed. r.i.p rock on.
+Chris c :<
Rock on
+Chris c He died a legend without the curse of getting old and tired looking....

Extremely gifted, it's like he has given the guitar a voice.
Unlike any guitarist before him.
They have all gone to heaven as GOD wanted a concert and to be thrilled and boy did he he get what he wanted
Jimi had a guitar in his mother's womb. 3-31-2022
I was there by the stage wearing flowers in my Afro gigging to Foxy Lady, and I was at Woodstock sliding in the mud having fun with the Hippies. That was indeed a trippy scene in my dreams. Lol 🌻 ✌ ❤
I promise when I visit home in Seattle I will visit your memorial Jimi Hendrix. 💋
Must've been so cool the amount of legends that played at Woodstock but hendrix was the man just blew everyone else out the water with his electric sound, peace to you sister, groove on
@@RhodeoMusic l dig your comment. Peace and love to you. 💋
3:23 I love that moment where you get to see his personality and sense of humor come out.
I was named after Jimi , he is now my favourite musician to ever live
SRV Could play better in his sleep! Than Jimmy could play on his best day!

@@leemontoya8028 not really
@@jangsonpauvaiphei9935 Watch SRV play Texas flood! then get back to me!
@@leemontoya8028 Listen to If 6 Was 9. Listen to Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock. Listen to Machine Gun at Fillmore East. SRV is great, but very derivative. It's was turned me off to him as he got big. SRV's style coming up was an awesome hard blues attack, but he started bending notes ALL THE TIME to emulate Jimi. It got old and stale. Maybe he would have changed had he not died. Trower plays so clean and loud, and his style is very reminiscent of Jimi, but you have to wonder had Jimi not been there first, what would Robin have sound like when he picked up Martin Barre's Strat?
God he was so free on stage. He makes it all look so effortless. I can only hope my band looks half as awe inspiring on stage.
I can fill for a guitarist, I wish... It's effortless for me, but I wish I could teleport to you and help you out. XD
Our guitarist does that effortless rhythm/lead combination thing that Hendrix did. I'm more of a Noel Redding. I think too much when I play guitar so it's not nearly as fun for me as the bass.

***** I mean you gotta be kinda cocky to want to get on stage in the first place :p
Amazing what Jimi accomplished on guitar considering he only played for 12 years ( age 15 to age 27 )!
yes, amazing ...
4 albums in his life. And 4 million after.
@@aldito7586 i think he is alive in the "jenseits" - in heaven - , perhaps they make a lot of new albums there and still make music ...forever :-)
Nothing amazing about it. 12 years is more than enough to excell at playing any instrument with hard work and talent.
Yeah and he's also the greatest guitarist ever!
Apparently Jimi was one of the rare singers that had "perfect pitch" - i.e. you can rarely sing out of tune.
Same as his guitar playing.......no matter how wild it got - he had the ear for music..........along with total belief and spirit.
You know its good when you see 18 different languages in the comment section

Who rpz the UK here?
Happy birthday Jimi greatest of all time.
Frank Zappa recalls: '"Hendrix is one of the most revolutionary figures in today's pop culture, musically and sociologically. Hendrix's music is very interesting. The sound... is extremely symbolic: orgasmic grunts, tortured squeals, lascivious moans, electric disasters, and innumerable other audial curiosities are delivered to the sense mechanisms of the audience at an extremely high decibel level. In a live performance environment, it is impossible to merely listen to what the Hendrix group does... it eats you alive."
One can only dream of being eaten up by that sound...

Wow, good explanation I always have said that this was from another world. I was only a little kid when Jimi dies but I wish he would have lived, sad. Just think, he would be 79 now
Ikr. I don’t even care about clothes 99% of the time. But may as well as a Add fashion style too. 60s clothes were playful and even contradictory. But Jimi’s style was... super fly freak out????

Simply one of the best musicians of all time! Guitar Hero.
Its been 50 years since Hendrix died but his legacy is going to continue to eternity
Esse som ao vivo mostra o quão insana era a virtuosidade na guitarra e no vocal de Jimi slk
200 years from now we'll talk about Hendrix as we speak today of Mozart.
i love hendrix, but you've gone too far cause classical is at another level than guitar music
so you think "guitar music" is less complex and is not worth to be listen and taught? rock music is as important as classical music nowadays. Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix...those bands are great composers!
Personally, I would liken Hendrix to Beethoven.
***** Granted, many people have more, shall we say, efficient skills. But, all due respect, consider this if you will: how many people could have INVENTED what Hendrix did, with NO previous model or template to work from?
***** just checked out Volta's baphomets, Henry Rollins version, it's just aimless thrash. You are simply stupid, that's all.
I watched this live, so high on LSD i can't believe I made it out of Miami alive.
There were so many great groups that summer.
Everyone was trashed.
no matter how badass you are, you'll never match a jimi hendrix on stage
Gilles Andrea Agree, but check out Sister Rosetta. She came close.

@@leemontoya8028 wow kkkkk (that's how we laugh in the internet in Brasil), just wow. SRV is a great player, no doubt, one of the best that ever lived. But saying he plays better than the man himself Jimi fucking Hendrix??? No mate, just no. Without Jimi, there would be no Stevie Ray. Jimi is for guitar what Michael Jordan is for basketball. Sure, there were a lot of greats who played before him and a lot of greats who played after him, but the man simply reinvented his field.

As a black man Jimmi you made us proud of you, in my opinion, you were the greatest of all times on that dern guitar bro👏👏👏
I agree 🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Imagine if someone wrote a comment like " SRV as a white man you made us proud of you".... all the snowflakes would go: "You're a raceeeeest"....
No disrespect, but it is kind of segregating to announce "As a black man..." Why does race have to be an issue? It doesn't matter what your race, ethnicity, or background is, Jimi was talented and beloved by everyone. So, you think it's OK to support black pride?... I know a group that that supports white pride called the KKK and I don't approve of them as well...
regardless of race he was the best
Race was an issue because the civil rights movement was going on before and during this time. This mans comment is not out of line to simply state a fact that people of his race were oppressed and he is simply acknowledging that. It wouldn’t be the same if a white individual said that because white people have not been discriminated in the United States to the extent African American a have been…duh.
Like lemmy said when asked if he ever saw prince he said no ive already seen jimi hendrix.
WTF Does Prince have to do with Jimi?
I'm not a big fan of prince's music. Or his looks and demeanor. It's a shame he got mixed up with pills, etc. I wonder what effect they had on his music. I'm just not into his general sound and image, but of course I understand how creative he was.
@TheBrabon1 who's jimmi?
@@klausrain111 prince was, and will always be a legend.
Richie B honestly I thought Prince was gay.. I don’t have a problem with that. I was just astonished he was into women bcuz he looked so much like one. I’ve listened to his music and it isn’t that great. He seems pretty good at guitar but he’s no jimmy
Marshall stacks and Sunn amplifier stacks. i used the same great combination when i played back in the 60s. The Marshall delivered crunchy distortion and the Sunns with their 15 inch JBLs were known for beautiful crystal clarity.

They are both great and i think that it is just horrible that people are trying to compare them. I will tell you one thing, Jimi would have probably loved SRV's playing and i know for a fact that SRV liked Jim's playing so lets stop the comparison.
El Picaso d la música
Fuck, Mitch is INSANE on this. No doubt he was one of the greatest rock drummers ever.
Absolutely. He complimented Hendrix's guitar playing perfectly.
+zoznack Mitch was incredible
Noel Redding was definitely the weak link in the chain.
+Doublestop yeah
+Doublestop True, but he wasn't actually bad. Having started out as a guitar player, he could play pretty nice runs. If he were at the level of, say, Jack Bruce or John Entwhistle, I'm not sure that would have worked as those guys may have ended up stepping on each others' toes rather than complimenting Hendrix's playing. Mitch basically matched Hendrix, drumbeat for note...two incredible musicians and a solid bass were just the right mix for the JHE, IMO.

He has ALWAYS been a legend.

Jimmy Hendrix is the best from the best!!!!!!
Fun fact: Jimi Hendrix actually did a recording with jim Morrison one time when they were both drunk at a club, but the audio is extremely rare
I have the recording and morrison is the only drunk one. Jimi was clearly annoyed. The bootleg that i have is "you wake up in the morning and you find yourself dead" thats one of the songs along with tomorrow never knows and a few others. Fun fact: Jimi didnt like to drink, but when he did it let out the violent side of him. So he usually avoided drinking.
Please upload it to youtube
Id have to dig through my storage, by a laptop with a cd drive, and then transfer it. Im not about to do all that. Trust me its out there. The the recording itself isnt remarkable. What makes it cool is that 2 of the biggest icons of the 60's actually met and recorded together. Too bad Jim Morrison was wasted
It's still gold.
Which is how he was killed.... Illuminati at work.
He was Rock&Roll. He invented everything.
that crowd didnt even understand what they were experiencing at that point, either mesmerized or blown away, seeing a show like this today would be mind boggling
Agree with you. That's the burden of a lot of geniuses, they're misunderstood by their contemporaries. At least we have a lot of his work recorded, either in audio or video. Thank god for the people who recorded it, they're like the apostles - if it weren't for them, the future generations of the world wouldn't had known such a messenger, such an inspiring and beautiful soul that was Jimi...
Thanks for sharing
FUCKING EPIC.
Well said!
The best guitar man and the best voice.
That is a badass hat
You can order one from his half-sister Janie....about $20 bucks or so..
My dad (God bless him) told me he was in "Ronnie Scott's" Jazz Bar/Nightclub, Soho, London during the 1960's. While walking around and not looking where he was going, he bumped into someone. He looked up to say "sorry" and apologise and there was the man himself, J.Hendix. My dad thought nothing of it as who was to know it would only be a few years later Jimi be dead.
Damn
Love it
Tragic though! See how sad it is that these people burn so bright and then?!!!
Jimi had this magic that drew us in and he delivered it in spades. A wild unbridled musical expression that took us by surprise in the late 60's and blew our mind...it was intoxicating, freeing and joyful!

Gone But No Forgotten...Jimi FOREVER!!!
He was so talented 50 years ahead of hes time.
In his brief four-year reign as a superstar, Jimi Hendrix expanded the vocabulary of the electric rock guitar more than anyone before or since. Hendrix was a master at coaxing all manner of unforeseen sonics from his instrument, often with innovative amplification experiments that produced astral-quality feedback, and roaring distortion. His frequent hurricane blasts of noise and dazzling showmanship -- he could and would play behind his back and with his teeth, and set his guitar on fire -- have sometimes obscured his considerable gifts as a songwriter, singer, and master of a gamut of blues, R&B, and rock styles.
When Hendrix became an international superstar in 1967, it seemed as if he'd dropped out of a Martian spaceship, but in fact he'd served his apprenticeship in numerous R&B acts on the chitlin circuit. During the early and mid-'60s, he worked with such R&B/soul greats as Little Richard, the Isley Brothers, and King Curtis as a backup guitarist. Occasionally, he recorded as a sessionman (the Isley Brothers' 1964 single "Testify" is the only one of these early tracks that offers even a glimpse of his future genius). For the most part, his bosses didn't appreciate his show-stealing showmanship, and Hendrix was straitjacketed by sideman roles that didn't allow him to develop as a soloist. The logical step was for him to go out on his own, which he did in New York in the mid-'60s, playing with various musicians in local clubs, and joining white blues-rock singer John Hammond, Jr.'s band for a while.
It was in a New York club that Hendrix was spotted by Animals bassist Chas Chandler. The first lineup of the Animals was about to split, and Chandler, looking to move into management, convinced Hendrix to move to London and record as a solo act in England. There a group was built around Jimi -- featuring Mitch Mitchell on drums and Noel Redding on bass -- that was dubbed the Jimi Hendrix Experience. The trio became stars with astonishing speed in the U.K., where "Hey Joe," "Purple Haze," and "The Wind Cries Mary" all made the Top Ten in the first half of 1967. These tracks were also featured on their debut album, Are You Experienced?, a psychedelic masterwork that became a huge hit in the U.S. after Hendrix created a sensation at the Monterey Pop Festival in June of 1967.
Are You Experienced? was an astonishing debut, particularly from a young R&B veteran who had rarely sung, and apparently never written his own material before the Experience formed. What caught most people's attention at first was his virtuosic guitar playing, which employed an arsenal of devices, including wah-wah pedals, buzzing feedback solos, crunching, distorted riffs, and lightning-quick liquid runs up and down the scales. Hendrix was also a first-rate songwriter, melding cosmic imagery with some surprisingly pop-savvy hooks and tender sentiments. Are You Experienced? was psychedelia at its most eclectic, synthesizing mod pop, soul, R&B, Dylan, and the electric guitar innovations of British pioneers like Jeff Beck, Pete Townshend, and Eric Clapton.
Amazingly, Hendrix would only record three fully conceived studio albums in his lifetime. Axis: Bold as Love and the double-LP Electric Ladyland were more diffuse and experimental than Are You Experienced? On Electric Ladyland in particular, Hendrix pioneered the use of the studio itself as a recording instrument, manipulating electronics and devising overdub techniques (with the help of engineer Eddie Kramer in particular) to plot uncharted sonic territory.
The final two years of Hendrix's life were turbulent ones musically, financially, and personally. He was embroiled in enough complicated management and record company disputes (some dating from ill-advised contracts he'd signed before the Experience formed) to keep the lawyers busy for years. He disbanded the Experience in 1969, forming Band of Gypsys with drummer Buddy Miles and bassist Billy Cox to pursue funkier directions. He closed Woodstock with a sprawling, shaky set, redeemed by his famous machine-gun interpretation of "The Star Spangled Banner." The rhythm section of Mitchell and Redding were underrated keys to Jimi's best work, and Band of Gypsys ultimately couldn't measure up to the same standard, although Hendrix did record an erratic live album with them. In early 1970, the Experience re-formed and disbanded again shortly afterward. At the same time, Hendrix felt torn in many directions by various fellow musicians, record company expectations, and management, all of whom had their own ideas of what Hendrix should be doing. Almost two years since Electric Ladyland, a new studio album had yet to appear, although Hendrix was recording constantly during that period.
While outside parties did contribute to bogging down Hendrix's studio work, it also seems likely that Hendrix himself was partly responsible for the stalemate, unable to form a permanent lineup of musicians, unable to decide what musical direction to pursue, unable to bring himself to complete another album despite endless jamming. A few months into 1970, Mitchell -- Hendrix's most valuable musical collaborator -- came back into the fold, replacing Miles in the drum chair, although Cox stayed in place. It was this trio that toured the world during Hendrix's final months. With them, and many guest musicians, he had been working intermittently on a new album, tentatively titled First Ray of the New Rising Sun, when he died in London on September 18, 1970, from a drug-related overdose.
Hendrix recorded a massive amount of unreleased studio material during his lifetime. Much of this (as well as entire live concerts) was issued posthumously; several of the live concerts were excellent, but the studio tapes have been the focus of enormous controversy for over 20 years. These initially came out in haphazard drabs and drubs (the first, The Cry of Love, was easily the most outstanding of the lot). In the mid-'70s, producer Alan Douglas took control of these projects, overdubbing many of Hendrix's tapes with additional parts by studio musicians. In the eyes of many Hendrix fans, this was sacrilege, destroying the integrity of the work of a musician known to exercise meticulous care over the final production of his studio recordings. Even as late as 1995, Douglas was having ex-Knack drummer Bruce Gary record new parts for the compilation Voodoo Soup. After a lengthy legal dispute, the rights to Hendrix's estate, including all of his recordings, returned to Al Hendrix, the guitarist's father, in July of 1995.
With the help of Jimi's stepsister Janie, Al set up Experience Hendrix to put Jimi's legacy in order. They began by hiring John McDermott and Jimi's original engineer, Eddie Kramer, to oversee the remastering process. They were able to find all the original master tapes, which had never been used for previous CD releases, and in April of 1997, Hendrix's first three albums were reissued with drastically improved sound. Accompanying those reissues was a posthumous compilation album (based on Jimi's handwritten track listings) called First Rays of the New Rising Sun, made up of tracks from the Cry of Love, Rainbow Bridge, and War Heroes.
Later in 1997, another compilation called South Saturn Delta showed up, collecting more tracks from posthumous LPs like Crash Landing, War Heroes, and Rainbow Bridge (without the '70s overdubs), along with a handful of never-before-heard material that Chas Chandler had withheld from Alan Douglas for all those years.
More archival material followed. Radio One was basically expanded to the two-disc BBC Sessions (released in 1998), and 1999 saw the release of the full show from Woodstock as well as additional concert recordings from Band of Gypsys shows entitled Live at the Fillmore East. 2000 saw the release of the Jimi Hendrix Experience four-disc box set, which compiled remaining tracks from In the West, Crash Landing, and Rainbow Bridge, along with more rarities and alternates from the Chandler cache.
The family also launched Dagger Records, essentially an authorized bootleg label, to supply hardcore Hendrix fans with material that would be of limited commercial appeal. Dagger released several live concerts (of shows in Oakland, Ottawa, Clark University in Massachusetts, Paris, San Francisco, Woburn in Bedfordshire, and Cologne) and a collection of studio jams and demos called Morning Symphony Ideas.
Mainstream Hendrix reissue activity continued during the 2000s and 2010s, spotlighted by major live albums originally recorded at the Isle of Wight (2002), Berkeley (2003), Monterey (2007), Winterland (2011), and the Miami Pop Festival (2013). In 2010, Sony issued a four-disc set titled West Coast Seattle Boy: The Jimi Hendrix Anthology, which offered a full disc of recordings from Hendrix's time as a backing guitarist.
That same year, Legacy, an imprint of Sony, released Valleys of Neptune. The compilation contained 12 previously unreleased tracks and was the first of many such releases. In 2013, a second compilation appeared. People, Hell and Angels again contained 12 never-before-released songs, which in this case were recorded while Hendrix was working on the follow-up to Electric Ladyland. The final release in this series was put out in 2018, and its ten unreleased tracks also featured guest appearances from Stephen Stills and Johnny Winter. ~ Richie Unterberger & Sean Westergaard, Rovi
I'm trying to learn how to play the guitar and it's hard af idk how he plays it upside down
however Hendrix could play BOTH right and left and handed since he's dad associated playing left handed with the devil
look for 'Eric Gales' on youtube. He also plays left handed with a right handed guitar ( flipped ) but then doesnt switch the strings. It's pretty cool
Kolby Girod a
backwards also. lefty guitars were rare in the sixties
in the sixties laying a guitar flat down was actually kinda setting the guitar into it's natural right handed position, kinda. if you noticed his guitarists they play right handed ( considered the norm in the sixties )
Lo máximo Jimi Hendrix
Дуже гарне виконання,не то що теперішнє лайнище.
Gives me friggin chills watching this, awesome!
He must’ve been a really nice person, judging by the interviews I’ve seen.

„my baby love me no more, but I know her sister will“
Its always been good
1970 szeptember 18-én Londonban különös körülmények között bekövetkezett tragikus halála után is is Jimi Hendrix tehetségével újításaival a No1.
Damn, that was cool!!!
I was there, Miami Pop, first time I heard Jimi. I was a high school junior, a bunch of us went to it. I recall the Experience came in a helicopter blowing purple smoke lol. Zappa played just before same stage I’m pretty sure.
of the top twenty guitar players of all time in rock n roll , jimi is numero uno and then the other nineteen are tied for second place
I was at this concert. I was 17 years old and somewhere in the audience. People were sitting around because this was an all day festival with lots of bands. Very hot also.
What a f... envy I have of you!
Lucky bastard
You are a very lucky man indeed, when you watch Jimi play that guitar you realise nobody is going to that good, you will always be second.
I sold the guitar and raced bikes instead 😂
how old are you????
@@legatou Really? Let's see.. He said he was 17, the concert was in 1968, subtract 1968 from 2018, add his age +/- for his birthday... And you have 67/68 years of age. Simple math.
that guitar asked for a cigarette after jimmy was done with it
@Untrepid One so they were unsatisfied? they asked for cigarettes to compensate, using nicotine and what not.
