I was there for the rainy weekend. I got in for all three days with a fake press card and an old Opel. There is a CD of the concert and I have it. I as 20 in 1970. Spent 6 months in Europe with less than $1,000. What a trip it was.
Alexander Raes : Will be ? Get serious - there must already be grandchildren among the band's members. There isn't one of them under 60 years of age my friend. Your suggestion puts off "grandkids" until the guys are in their 80's. Unlikely yes?
Glad you had a great time. However Jimi Hendrix last interview performance (Isle of Wight Festival), in the early hours of 31 August 1970. - 18 days before his death. I was there & had a friend that worked at the hotel where he died.
Jimi was a very spiritual, and humble man ! With all his incredible music, he still wanted to take it further, to give his fans more of what was "inside of him" ! The one and only master of guitar ! RIP !
Love how down to earth Jimi was. No pretense at all. Imagine someone of his stature just getting off the train with a flight bag, no entourage at all. Just a laid back brother on his way to blow some German minds.
Geez. Even at this stage in his career they still couldn't find guitars that would stay in tune for him. Sooo frustrating to go onstage and be out of tune constantly.. You can hear him here hesitate before he goes into the song, having to tune up while he's playing.. He really was the master...
Tony Sammons Unfortunately his effects like whami -Bar put his guitar out of tune. His hardness on the strings also didn't help. He was constantly not satisfied with his sound and always trying to improve it sometimes with limited success. He still was the best.
Alexander Raes - Alex, you're right, though in the Music World (Symphony & Opera to Rock ) it's called "perfect pitch". Some A-hole posers claim it, but JIMI often reached over, and tuned a string WHILE PERFORMING. "Perfect pitch", truly, is rare, and person can name a note : "A- 440", just by hearing it. -MarkT, Mich, USA.
Nut'nbeatsaclassic ...yeah if he used his whammy bar....out of tune . Poor guy spent more time tuning than playing it seemed.a Floyd would of done the trick
My father saw him a few times back in the late 60's, Jimi actually kicked him in the face with his boot when my Dad was trying to check out his Vox wah! Always told me that Jimi and Rory Gallagher that were two musicians who just had that extra 'magic' whenever they hit the stage.
Don't know if you're aware but Hendrix was part of the 101st Airborn division in US army (the Screaming Eagles). He was physically very fit lol. I'm happy that your dad could hear the man playing !
'Which brings me to the 'Love and Peace Festival' on the Isle of Fehmarn, West Germany. What an extraordinary gig. I think we flew from Berlin to meet up with all the other bands. We then all took a train to the coast and finally a ferry to the island. It was a very early call first off, to get to the airport. Once there I got a lot of hassle from them about my passport, which I'd had for years. By this time I had long hair and didn’t look much like the photo and they weren’t going to let me through. It was early in the morning and I wasn’t in the best of moods and rumour has it that I actually assaulted one of the guards. Thank God one of the promoters was there and between him and Stickells, they sorted everything out. So the day started well. We got to the gig and all the bands were checked into the same hotel, probably the only hotel on the island. The people running the hotel dint know what they had let themselves in for, the bands had completely taken over the place. We got there mid-afternoon and were supposedly on at eight. By about six we heard this wind and then it turned into a gale. We knew by then that there were other problems as well. The usual equipment troubles plus bikers with guns and various militants. We knew we wouldn’t play at eight, but we were told that we might get on by midnight. Well, we'd gone through Woodstock, so what's knew? By mid-evening, because of the gale, none of the bands could play at all and they were all back at the hotel. By nine o'clock the hotel had been drunk dry, fights were breaking out, all substances had been consumed. We’re talking about a couple of hundred musicians, who were not having any fun. We sent some of the roadies out to the site to get some beer, which did ease the situation slightly. And, of course, two hundred musicians together, it was, 'Let's Party!' By midnight it was all getting to crazy for me, the bar had been wrecked and it was total lunacy. I didn’t want anything to do with it so I went up to my room. I hadn’t been there long, when I got a knock at the door and it's Billy, looking completely bewildered. By this time Id spent nine months with him and he'd always been totally stable and reliable. He said, 'You know we're going to get off this island alive. It's going to be taken over by the Nazis. He was in my room for three hours and although he was rambling, he made a certain amount of sense and many of his prophecies came true-odd. I called Jimi and we tried to calm him down. It was difficult to say what the problem was. He never took acid, in fact he rarely smoked, and although he might have been spiked, I think we would have known, you can tell if someone is tripping. We could probably have dealt with it better if it had been that. To this day we don’t know what happened to him, he was highly emotional and highly disturbed. We tried to find a doctor, which of course was impossible, but after several hours he did seem calmer and did get some sleep. Anyway, because of the gale we were rescheduled for midday on the Sunday. We heard there had been real problems overnight-a lot of violence. We drove out to the sight, got out of the car and this plank of wood with six-inch nails in it was thrown from the back of a group of Hell's Angels and hit Gerry Stickells on the head. Fortunately he got off lightly, but the feeling was , let's do the gig and get the hell out. Our actual performance was OK and our adrenalin was pumping as well, but we did do a slightly shorter than usual set. We rushed off the stage, helicopter back to the mainland straight back to England. We were glad to get out. Some of Billy's prophecies did come true, people were killed and they did seal off the island after we left, for a couple of days. Also, and I found this out recently, one of our roadies, Rocky, was shot right through the leg by a machine gun, while taking down our equipment. One of those places with a really ugly feeling, a bit like the Stones gig at Altamont , I suppose.' Mitch Mitchell & John Platt, “The Hendrix Experience” , 1990, at pp 154&156
Lone Eagle - Thank you, Lone Eagle... Very coherent description. I cherish memory of the 3 concerts Jimi played in Detroit (great audience), and know most of the story, but I'll get Mitch's book, for these details. Thanks again...
I LOVE your video!! It's gorgeous. Thank you very much. He's just so incredible. Beautiful, genius, the most amazingly brilliant genius guitar-player ever, and a beautiful songwriter. And he had a gorgeous voice, and was such a phenomenally beautiful performer! He was completely special and unique, a truly beautiful person in every way and was so mistreated by so many.... I wish wish wish I had seen him. He was and still is, my hero. Beautiful Jimi.
These photos are bitter-sweet; lots of great shots of Jimi. It is nice to see him smiling and goofing, but sad to see how tired he looks in some, and recall the articles I've read about how he was being pressured to do too many shows, and jerked around by management, which I think, are at least somewhat guilty of helping drive him into an early grave for their own greed.
I thought his last performance was at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London. He walked in on a performance by Eric Burdon and War and then on the second set joined the band for a real long jam. Hours later he died.
I thought the same thing. His eyes look like they have lost that youthful energy I'm used to seeing from him. Tired and overworked just going through the motions. :(
+Roger Michou Jimi's Management worked him to death..250 venues a year for four years straight 1966-1970..Jimi was also a huge cash cow for greedy concert promoters and record executives..That was rock-n-roll during the 60's and 70's, they totally ripped off there performers..
Roger Michou I believe Monica Danneman and Michael Jefferys both conspired together.. Monica was so Jealous of Jimi's constant womanizing, and Michael Jefferys management position with Jimi was over.. Jefferys collected $1.200.000 in life insurance ... Jefferys dies in a plane crash in the mid 1970's and Dannerman commits suicide in the 1990's..God works in mysterious ways..
I feel the same way. I watched the one interview with her in the Hendrix documentary and she's saying "oh I tried to wake him up" bla bla she seemed like she wasn't being 100% truthful and it made my skin crawl. And the manager was a well known crook. It's sad at the end of the Isle of Wight concert he says something like I hope we can do this again sometime ..I really hope so and throws his guitar down.
The first picture is Hendrix getting the train to the coast, think its at Hamburg, Germany 5 September, 1970, they played on the 6th: 'I think we flew from Berlin to meet up with all the other bands. We then all took a train to the coast and finally a ferry to the island.' Mitch Mitchell
Thanks for the post man. I don't know why it took 45 YEARS to get these pix out but...better late than never. I had the (Fehrman) L.P. which had awful sound quality and recorded the "I don't give a fuck if you boo as long as you boo in key." bit. The super cool, multi-colored patch work coat, the gaunt face, after Isle of Wight, etc. As one of the biggest Hendrix fans it is great to see this stuff.. Boo on Jamie. They made MILLIONS but hose with cassettes or broken CD players can't listen to Jimi's stuff. Check out Uli Jon Roth and Some of Frank Marino's stuff...His spirit touched them the most. God bless...children runnin' things these days and love to ya. Keep on pushin' Straight ahead.
aka Orlando I've read of this time period just before his death, actually it sounds better than I anticipated. the power of his desperation is tightly unleashed. this is new to me! so..?... his talent and his life is chronicalled in my mind and heart, and when you hear him play ( I haven't,live even though I'm 61) you recognize.
I could never understand why Jimi drowned in red wine, when there was very little alcohol in his bloodstream. If he had drunk that much, it would have shown up in his blood within an hour. One line of thought is that Jimi struggled to sleep as he was overly exhausted. He took well over the prescribed dose of Vesperax, apparently nine tablets instead of half or one, as they were a VERY strong barbiturate. The effect of this would very likely affect his breathing and certainly his swallow reflex. It appears as though Jimi was struggling to breath properly, therefore putting him in the 'recovery' position and calling for immediate emergency assistance would be the actions of choice. If he'd got to hospital alive they would have intubated him and he very likely would have fully recovered. For whatever reason, panic, anger, fear, it appears as though Monika poured red wine down Jimi's throat in an attempt to 'revive' him. In doing so Jimi drowned in the red wine. The biggest question has to be why did Jimi take nine tablets? He wouldn't have known they were so strong. Did he underestimate their strength? Did Monika give him some more of the tablets if he was struggling to get off to sleep? Did unknown forces, Michael Jeffrey or CIA get involved? They were 'very' strange times and any of the above are possible. However, with today's sensibilities and maturity, sadly I would say that Jimi took them either himself or with/from Monika. As a result, I would say that it was a series of tragic events that led to the catastrophe, that was Jimi's death. My musical hero, so much of what he was about, playing from his heart and soul, playing the 'truth', his Sky Church music that I have adored for over 50 years. There will never be another Jimi, he was a one off, who 'loved' music, he was obsessed on playing. Over 1000 live performances in just under 4 years. After the gigs he would then seek out proper musicians venues in towns and cities he played and then jam until the early hours...5-6 in the morning.
I've heard that his dad said that his front teeth were chipped...he played guitar with his teeth for years and I've never seen a picture of him with chipped teeth...I wonder what could've caused that...???...
@@marcuswilkinson3223 where the bottle of wine was forced down his neck To disguise what he really died from. None believers.... His last conversation to Chas was to say he was.( in Big fucking trouble man.) Chas is on record saying that...
The guy was worked to death which shows in his playing here,disorganized just throwing riffs together with goofed up rhythms as sort of a sound effects show.His management was not so good, they should'a rested him and given him some time off to get his head together,if possible.
His management was the New York mafia... Hendrix was touring to pay them and eventually pay for his studio built in a mafia zone in NY. I'm not talking about Chad ??, the British gentleman but one level over him. Jimi was desperately trying to void his contract with these people and would tell girlfriends that he was not going to come back alive from Europe. I don't really believe he was killed or something like that but rather the high pressure drove him to get in a situation of a burnout at 27 and he developed insomnia problems that drove his death accident. The man gave everything and was scared to death... Can you imagine what was the "value" of a black guy in 1970 for the mafia ?
Norman John Malcolm Forbes (I think) wrote a book about famous people that died too young and so on and said Hendrix died from sheer exhaustion . I believe it was more than just that but that had a lot to do with it.
@@marsattacks7071 Chad? You mean chas chandler. The former bassist for the animals and manager of jimi hendrix during his early career until around 1968 when Michael jeffery took over as manager.
@@marsattacks7071 Yea it's a sad situation. Just all the pressure and bs he had to deal with when being managed by jeffery. I also wonder what could have been if it hadn't come to this burnout situation that ultimately took a huge toll on him and led to his unfortunate death. At least he was quite prolific in his short career and left us a good amount of material and live recordings which ultimately catch him at his best. That's not to say he wasnt just as great in the studio because he was. That's where he would create. He used the studio as his own personal creation machine recording every lick and jam. Some would say he overindulged in the studio but if that's where he wants to spend the money then let him. So I'm just glad we have his music because its timeless.
Humble opinion. The vinyl studio of Voodoo Child, Slight Return was, maybe still is, so ahead of it's time, nothing done since, no matter how brilliant all the rock songs and solos of the 70s and after are in their own way, can ever really touch it. There's just something about that track.
Kelly14UK That's because you can actually hear on that track, Voodoo Child slight return, Jimi Hendrix summoning the most potent medicine magic that is so far beyond most mere guitarist it's not even funny. They all run scales and anally polish their technique while Hendrix was practicing strong magic. That is why even the heaviest of rock guitarist most sound absolutely effeminate compared to Jimi. He was a true shaman and an artist extraordinaire.
I can't imagine what songs would of been made had Jimi decided to quit doing shows just like the Beatles did. He probably would of still been alive today or at least live much longer. He overdid it. Rarely even took a break too.
Shit he was getting BETTER than ever deeper just badass more fuller sound mix dubs pushing it babies he was pushing past all conventional wisdom guitar
Jimi Hendrix' last public performance was at gig with Eric Burdon in London the night of his death. In an interview somewhere here on RUclips, Burdon says Jimi Hendrix was already in bad shape earlier in the evening. Jimi Hendrix had fairly close relationship with the Animals. Chas Chandler, Animals' bassist, brought Hendrix to London from New York, set him up with Redding and Mitchell, and produced Hendrix' first recordings. Hendrix is probably main reasons why Burdon, one of the great rock and R&B vocalists in his own right, tried to go "psychedelic"
I had heard that Jimi was at Eric's flat when that cunt showed up to get Jimi to go home with her. Eric told him not to go but Jimi went anyway. I truly believe that he was killed that night.
The very last music legends to perform with Jimi Hendrix a night or two before he died were Eric Burdon and these original artists of WAR, Howard Scott, Harold Brown, Lee Oskar, BB Dickerson, at facebook.com/LowriderBand. These talented artists for some reason or other seem to be left out of the Jimi Hendrix story. WAR for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017!
That's like the same thing that happened back in 1969 at Altamont, Calif.. The Rolling Stones gave a free concert and had hired the Hell's Angels as security? But, who was going to protect everyone from the Hell's Angels?? There was a lot of Acid and Reds back then! Woopee, let Chaos run free!!!
Jimi Hendrix a real Rock God there won't be another one like him I'm glad I seen him when I was a kid like truly truly miss what I think Jimi hendrix's brother instead of owning the rights to his t-shirts should own the rights to his music not Jimi Hendrix adopted daughter I think that's a total rip-off I don't care who was Jimi Hendrix Father had excluded his own son from the rights to his music the only flesh and blood but still alive what kind of horseshit is this sincere Elvis Aaron Presley Mark Dawson give the The rights to Jimi hendrix's Brothers should own it
Elvis A P Mark Dawson SUPPOSEDLY, Al Hendrix wuz afraid Leon would smoke Jimiz legacy away. While Leon Hendrix did have a drug problem ( crack cocaine, I blieve. ) he had kicked da habit, b4 Al died. He blievez Al, senile, & near death, wuz made 2 sign a new will, xcluding Leon. I blieve, Jimi woulda undastood his brotherz drug issuez & still had confidence dat Leon would take care of his legacy, nstead of trusting his sister, who wuz only so, by marriage. Not by blood. Azz a result of how thangz stand, Hendrix may bcum SO CALLED White, or Asian, n about 100 yearz time. I side wit u, dat itz BS, dat Janie, got total conrol of da Hendrix estate.
Who the hell who the hell is this he didn't do crap crack wasn't even developed back then you don't even know what you're talking about back then it was only pills weed heroin and just straight cocaine cupcake crack was never invented then And also LSD was invented then you don't know what you're talking about still you haven't got a clue crack was never invented but then again all say it but they are looking into the investigation on Jimi hendrix's death he was taking multiple sleeping pills that's what they said kill them it was a whole bunch of drugs in his system that killed him so get your facts right I'm older than you and you don't have a clue on what you're talking about man I've lived those days of free love sincerely TCB Elvis Presley
Elvis A P Mark Dawson I wuz talking about Jimiz brother, LEON, bein addicted 2 crack. Not Jimi. Look @ RUclipsz of Leon, talking about whut happened, or go buy his book. ( I read it, @ da library. )
Elvis A P Mark Dawson Calm down Elvis!!! I said, I agree wit u! I also agree wit u, dat Hendrix didn't overdose on Heroin, sleeping tabletz, or any otha drug. I have heard about da large amount of red-wine, n Jimiz lungz. Thusly, it lookz like he wuz water-boarded/drowned, n red-wine. A 3-letter GovernMENTAL agency, tactic.
Jimi Hendrix last interview performance (Isle of Wight Festival), in the early hours of 31 August 1970. - 18 days before his death. I was there & had a friend who worked at the hotel. This was not his last live performance. The Isle Of White was. Irrefutable fact.
He died young. That sucks, yet he just keeps on going. To think, if some idiot just let him roll over and expel the vomit and breath, he may very well still be with us.
you can't see it but jimi is tuning while playing, it went out pretty bad with all that whammy stuff in the beginning, they didn't have locking nuts in those days so strings stretching in every direction. he really lets loose when he gets it dialed in... jimi in fact was getting even better, i can't imaging the stuff he would have come up with since 1970 when he died.
Another theory that makes sense is that CIA murdered Hendrix under Countelpro program because Hendrix played a free gig for black panthers and also played several times the spangled stars banner in "unorthodox" way
That FIRST Picture of Jimi in the rain by the train DOES NOT look like its from the 50's coz black people didnt have Big afro's in the 1950,they greased it down,"konked' it out,curled and rolled it or simply straightened it and wore it parted. I can see how a black and white shot would resemble in some aspects the 1950's but this one isnt even that come close to it.
Hendrix looks ill for a reason. He was about to be murdered by both American and British intelligence for his stand against the Vietnam war, and association with the Blank Panthers. His younger brother was in prison for resisting the draft, and Hendrix was revered. Check out his autopsy results he had two gallons of red wine in his LUNGS, but no drugs. When was the last time you heard of a guy dying from a LUNG overdose of any liquid in a hotel room?
He should'a tuned up his guitar before playing.His performance is rather schizoid although he did some fancy effects and guitar tricks that sound entertaining.
I just found out they're looking into Jimi hendrix's death they found out he died of multiple drugs that were in his system and they're going to reopen his case the last person that was with him was his girlfriend I still like Jimi Hendrix a whole lot and I can't believe and how they decided on who gets what on Jimi hendrix's death Jimi hendrix's brother only t-shirts and his half-sister got the rights to Jimi hendrix's music I feel this is undersized for his brother should have got the rights all the rights to Jimi Hendrix man on man on help people make decisions in life these days is all upside down but like I said Jimi hendrix's brother only got the rights to the T-shirt of Jimi Hendrix half sister got the rights to Jimi hendrix's music undersized full way for Jimi Hendrix his brother but they're opening the rights to Jimi Hendrix death now it's going to be a full investigation
Janie Hendrix is NOT Jimi Hendrix sister by Blood,she is a very young(at the time) step sister is all she's half white and half japanense ,Al Hendrix Married',June" Hendrix in the mid-60;s and Janie as already a little thing then, this was June's second marriage. IM glad to hear that they are re-opening Jimi's case. I always felt and still do after 46 years of being into Jimi that he was taken out and that it was a 'hit' job ,set up and that Monika who barely knew Jimi was part of it but thats another story. Tony Brown's book the Hendrx: The Final Days . good place to start . thee are now 300 books out on Jimi at least 300 hundred,Other recommendations would be steve rody's books and Ken Voss look him up on facebook, he can recommend and does some excellent and enlightening books an reserach on Jimi Life and death. thanx for the post man. Play on Jimi!!
Okay I have two people asking me a question here number one I have a fellow at all he's obviously Scottish so I'm my I am head Clansman MacLeod Isle of Skye Scotland dunvegan castle I am a Scottish Prince by Birthright soon to gain my talk but back to Jimi Hendrix won't your answer to that one is one Jimi Hendrix father died Jim Hendricks that nap time to write a will his father made a decision on who gets what they did not give the rights of the music and everything else to Jimi Hendrix his brother because they feel he would have you ejected into his life they gave them the rights of the T-shirt now Jimi Hendrix have sister has all the rights to his music and everything so I don't know what's going on question yes we all know that Jimi Hendrix was murdered Miss Webb they apparently reopened his case and they're looking into it because they found multiple drugs in his system so whatever they said back in the sixties of what he died from and they called it suicide which we all know today that he has died wrongful accusal meant which were trying to karate yes he was murdered Ray backwards homework we do believe it might be his girlfriend that did it but Jimi Hendrix where was the 1960s you can look at it thank you thank you very much sincerely TCB Elvis Presley and I'm very much alive now
I don't know what kind of person you are you don't leave a message you just run off and hide what's the matter my picture scare you _lh3.googleusercontent.com/BgS4zFkJtePsnOkcVBwLoDbKcn_CEcHuikrHfRZq1-IbSIU6mpnIcwNKPzFm5kwMPNHD2c0sCg_
jimmy had millions stolen from him by management....jimi just wanted to play for the people, eh would jam for free, jimi didnt understand the business part and was naive
it would have been interesting if he had lived to mediocrity. of course it wouldn't have been because when they don't die it's just another "classic rock artist". super cool cat. not meant for old bones.
Mmm, sad. You can see the addictive lifestyle was catching up, he looks ill. God wasn't high on his priority list it appears. The amount of barbituates ingested was so large, I wouldn't rule out suicide. His choice of ingesting such an amount at the very least says, "I'll show you, I'll hurt me!" Drug addiction was obvious. He chose to continue, and not seek help. Sadly his family and us, his fans, had to accept his death.
@ 2:24 the viewer gets a glimpse of the Guitar I always thought Hendrix sounded best playing: 1967 GIBSON FLYING 'V'. A completely bad-a$$ Guitar, omg !
Finally someone who has ears. He always absolutely sucked live. I'm yet to find a truly good recording of him playing live. Most overrated guitarist ever.
I was there for the rainy weekend. I got in for all three days with a fake press card and an old Opel. There is a CD of the concert and I have it. I as 20 in 1970. Spent 6 months in Europe with less than $1,000. What a trip it was.
Great story my man-I wish I could have been there!
what's that crap-talking about 'grandpa', within 20 years AC/DC will be grandpa's too
Alexander Raes : Will be ? Get serious - there must already be grandchildren among the band's members. There isn't one of them under 60 years of age my friend. Your suggestion puts off "grandkids" until the guys are in their 80's. Unlikely yes?
Don't mention AC/DC in the same story as Hendrix...The Guitar God
Noisy, distorted sour notes. Maybe the most over rated guitarist this side of Jimmy Page.
I was at Fehmarn for the three day concert in the rain. Jimi was great at his last concert. RIP Jimi!
+mel fabisch Did you know why they were booing him?
+Sammy Dick because he was late

The one and only master of guitar !

Absolutely!!!
Love how down to earth Jimi was. No pretense at all. Imagine someone of his stature just getting off the train with a flight bag, no entourage at all. Just a laid back brother on his way to blow some German minds.

ok, because of his stringpulling, often out of tune, but tuned up immediatly after, guess the guy had what they call 'absolute hearing'
Alexander Raes - Alex, you're right, though in the Music World (Symphony & Opera to Rock ) it's called "perfect pitch". Some A-hole posers claim it, but JIMI often reached over, and tuned a string WHILE PERFORMING. "Perfect pitch", truly, is rare, and person can name a note : "A- 440", just by hearing it.

Mark Tulk Just wondering what Jimi would sound like live with a digital tuner and a Floyd Rose? :)
Nut'nbeatsaclassic ...yeah if he used his whammy bar....out of tune . Poor guy spent more time tuning than playing it seemed.a Floyd would of done the trick
My father saw him a few times back in the late 60's, Jimi actually kicked him in the face with his boot when my Dad was trying to check out his Vox wah! Always told me that Jimi and Rory Gallagher that were two musicians who just had that extra 'magic' whenever they hit the stage.
Considering his history of getting pedals nabbed off stage, his reflexes were probably well in tune by the time your dad saw him ;)
I wish I could've been alive to see Jimi Hendrix perform live. That would be a memory to cherish for the rest of my life.
Saw him twice! Magic! Santa Rosa and LA!
Don't know if you're aware but Hendrix was part of the 101st Airborn division in US army (the Screaming Eagles). He was physically very fit lol. I'm happy that your dad could hear the man playing !
so he hit him on purpose, why?
Damn that intro was awesome...I can see smoke coming out of those amplifiers. You can hear the monsters coming out of his soul
'Which brings me to the 'Love and Peace Festival' on the Isle of Fehmarn, West Germany. What an extraordinary gig. I think we flew from Berlin to meet up with all the other bands. We then all took a train to the coast and finally a ferry to the island. It was a very early call first off, to get to the airport. Once there I got a lot of hassle from them about my passport, which I'd had for years. By this time I had long hair and didn’t look much like the photo and they weren’t going to let me through. It was early in the morning and I wasn’t in the best of moods and rumour has it that I actually assaulted one of the guards. Thank God one of the promoters was there and between him and Stickells, they sorted everything out. So the day started well.
We got to the gig and all the bands were checked into the same hotel, probably the only hotel on the island. The people running the hotel dint know what they had let themselves in for, the bands had completely taken over the place. We got there mid-afternoon and were supposedly on at eight. By about six we heard this wind and then it turned into a gale.
We knew by then that there were other problems as well. The usual equipment troubles plus bikers with guns and various militants. We knew we wouldn’t play at eight, but we were told that we might get on by midnight. Well, we'd gone through Woodstock, so what's knew? By mid-evening, because of the gale, none of the bands could play at all and they were all back at the hotel.
By nine o'clock the hotel had been drunk dry, fights were breaking out, all substances had been consumed. We’re talking about a couple of hundred musicians, who were not having any fun. We sent some of the roadies out to the site to get some beer, which did ease the situation slightly. And, of course, two hundred musicians together, it was, 'Let's Party!' By midnight it was all getting to crazy for me, the bar had been wrecked and it was total lunacy. I didn’t want anything to do with it so I went up to my room.
I hadn’t been there long, when I got a knock at the door and it's Billy, looking completely bewildered. By this time Id spent nine months with him and he'd always been totally stable and reliable. He said, 'You know we're going to get off this island alive. It's going to be taken over by the Nazis. He was in my room for three hours and although he was rambling, he made a certain amount of sense and many of his prophecies came true-odd. I called Jimi and we tried to calm him down. It was difficult to say what the problem was. He never took acid, in fact he rarely smoked, and although he might have been spiked, I think we would have known, you can tell if someone is tripping. We could probably have dealt with it better if it had been that.
To this day we don’t know what happened to him, he was highly emotional and highly disturbed. We tried to find a doctor, which of course was impossible, but after several hours he did seem calmer and did get some sleep. Anyway, because of the gale we were rescheduled for midday on the Sunday. We heard there had been real problems overnight-a lot of violence. We drove out to the sight, got out of the car and this plank of wood with six-inch nails in it was thrown from the back of a group of Hell's Angels and hit Gerry Stickells on the head. Fortunately he got off lightly, but the feeling was , let's do the gig and get the hell out.
Our actual performance was OK and our adrenalin was pumping as well, but we did do a slightly shorter than usual set. We rushed off the stage, helicopter back to the mainland straight back to England. We were glad to get out.
Some of Billy's prophecies did come true, people were killed and they did seal off the island after we left, for a couple of days. Also, and I found this out recently, one of our roadies, Rocky, was shot right through the leg by a machine gun, while taking down our equipment. One of those places with a really ugly feeling, a bit like the Stones gig at Altamont , I suppose.'

+Electric Warrior just click a few times underneath the last line above, to read the whole thing
I typed it all out word for word, it took ages. Its directly from Mitch Mitchell's book "The Hendrix Experience"
Lone Eagle - Thank you, Lone Eagle... Very coherent description. I cherish memory of the 3 concerts Jimi played in Detroit (great audience), and know most of the story, but I'll get Mitch's book, for these details. Thanks again...
Very nice. Thank you
I was entertained and enlightened by your words but could you give me some of your background & identity.please forgive me.
Thanks for loading this.
Big Jimi fan...
Still rockin 2023..
Today, 51 years without the great and unique of a kind. We always miss you, Jimi Marshal Hendrix!!!
I LOVE your video!! It's gorgeous. Thank you very much. He's just so incredible. Beautiful, genius, the most amazingly brilliant genius guitar-player ever, and a beautiful songwriter. And he had a gorgeous voice, and was such a phenomenally beautiful performer! He was completely special and unique, a truly beautiful person in every way and was so mistreated by so many.... I wish wish wish I had seen him. He was and still is, my hero. Beautiful Jimi.
These photos are bitter-sweet; lots of great shots of Jimi. It is nice to see him smiling and goofing, but sad to see how tired he looks in some, and recall the articles I've read about how he was being pressured to do too many shows, and jerked around by management, which I think, are at least somewhat guilty of helping drive him into an early grave for their own greed.
He was just damn talented!!1
Loved the on stage photo showing the mic hanging from the stage roof. No wonder at least two sources have appeared for this concert.
I thought his last performance was at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London. He walked in on a performance by Eric Burdon and War and then on the second set joined the band for a real long jam. Hours later he died.
tony ruiz yeah but there is any record of this show? I heard it was really bad. The band was full on acid.
@@tzbenetti1000 you mean they were tripping? what? no way?? (he he he ha ha ha)
1:07 OMG he looks like he is 48 years old, he was only 27 !
I thought the same thing. His eyes look like they have lost that youthful energy I'm used to seeing from him. Tired and overworked just going through the motions. :(
+Roger Michou Jimi's Management worked him to death..250 venues a year for four years straight 1966-1970..Jimi was also a huge cash cow for greedy concert promoters and record executives..That was rock-n-roll during the 60's and 70's, they totally ripped off there performers..
+PRE CBS STRATOCASTER'S im pretty sure this semi mafioso Jefferey murdered Jimi Hendrix
Roger Michou I believe Monica Danneman and Michael Jefferys both conspired together.. Monica was so Jealous of Jimi's constant womanizing, and Michael Jefferys management position with Jimi was over.. Jefferys collected $1.200.000 in life insurance ... Jefferys dies in a plane crash in the mid 1970's and Dannerman commits suicide in the 1990's..God works in mysterious ways..
I feel the same way. I watched the one interview with her in the Hendrix documentary and she's saying "oh I tried to wake him up" bla bla she seemed like she wasn't being 100% truthful and it made my skin crawl. And the manager was a well known crook. It's sad at the end of the Isle of Wight concert he says something like I hope we can do this again sometime ..I really hope so and throws his guitar down.
HUGE GENIUS
long live Hendrix
This Voodoo Child isn't from the Isle of Fehmarn. This sounds like either Stockholm 8/31/70 or Gothenburg 9/1/70
The first picture is Hendrix getting the train to the coast, think its at Hamburg, Germany 5 September, 1970, they played on the 6th:
'I think we flew from Berlin to meet up with all the other bands. We then all took a train to the coast and finally a ferry to the island.'
Mitch Mitchell
Thanks for the post man. I don't know why it took 45 YEARS to get these pix out but...better late than never. I had the (Fehrman) L.P. which had awful sound quality and recorded the "I don't give a fuck if you boo as long as you boo in key." bit.
The super cool, multi-colored patch work coat, the gaunt face, after Isle of Wight, etc. As one of the biggest Hendrix fans it is great to see this stuff.. Boo on Jamie. They made MILLIONS but hose with cassettes or broken CD players can't listen to Jimi's stuff. Check out Uli Jon Roth and Some of Frank Marino's stuff...His spirit touched them the most. God bless...children runnin' things these days and love to ya. Keep on pushin' Straight ahead.
aka Orlando I've read of this time period just before his death, actually it sounds better than I anticipated. the power of his desperation is tightly unleashed. this is new to me! so..?... his talent and his life is chronicalled in my mind and heart, and when you hear him play ( I haven't,live even though I'm 61) you recognize.
Thanks.
The sound of the American Indian electrified for all time.
well said my brother..
tike webb what a stupid comment
+tike webb Not ALL, hoss.
@Kenneth Liburd poor, how on earth do you not know that jimi's mother was native american father was african descent, page 1 fool. 🖕
Nice photo's !!!!
The best of the very excellent best!!!
Forever in our hearts
I could never understand why Jimi drowned in red wine, when there was very little alcohol in his bloodstream. If he had drunk that much, it would have shown up in his blood within an hour.
One line of thought is that Jimi struggled to sleep as he was overly exhausted. He took well over the prescribed dose of Vesperax, apparently nine tablets instead of half or one, as they were a VERY strong barbiturate.
The effect of this would very likely affect his breathing and certainly his swallow reflex.
It appears as though Jimi was struggling to breath properly, therefore putting him in the 'recovery' position and calling for immediate emergency assistance would be the actions of choice. If he'd got to hospital alive they would have intubated him and he very likely would have fully recovered.
For whatever reason, panic, anger, fear, it appears as though Monika poured red wine down Jimi's throat in an attempt to 'revive' him. In doing so Jimi drowned in the red wine.
The biggest question has to be why did Jimi take nine tablets?
He wouldn't have known they were so strong.
Did he underestimate their strength?
Did Monika give him some more of the tablets if he was struggling to get off to sleep?
Did unknown forces, Michael Jeffrey or CIA get involved?
They were 'very' strange times and any of the above are possible. However, with today's sensibilities and maturity, sadly I would say that Jimi took them either himself or with/from Monika.
As a result, I would say that it was a series of tragic events that led to the catastrophe, that was Jimi's death.
My musical hero, so much of what he was about, playing from his heart and soul, playing the 'truth', his Sky Church music that I have adored for over 50 years.
There will never be another Jimi, he was a one off, who 'loved' music, he was obsessed on playing.
Over 1000 live performances in just under 4 years. After the gigs he would then seek out proper musicians venues in towns and cities he played and then jam until the early hours...5-6 in the morning.
He was murdered
I've heard that his dad said that his front teeth were chipped...he played guitar with his teeth for years and I've never seen a picture of him with chipped teeth...I wonder what could've caused that...???...
@@marcuswilkinson3223 where the bottle of wine was forced down his neck
To disguise what he really died from.
None believers....
His last conversation to
Chas was to say he was.( in
Big fucking trouble man.)
Chas is on record saying that...
Barbiturate mixed with alcohol. Killed lots of people.
The guy was worked to death which shows in his playing here,disorganized just throwing riffs together with goofed up rhythms as sort of a sound effects show.His management was not so good, they should'a rested him and given him some time off to get his head together,if possible.
His management was the New York mafia... Hendrix was touring to pay them and eventually pay for his studio built in a mafia zone in NY. I'm not talking about Chad ??, the British gentleman but one level over him. Jimi was desperately trying to void his contract with these people and would tell girlfriends that he was not going to come back alive from Europe. I don't really believe he was killed or something like that but rather the high pressure drove him to get in a situation of a burnout at 27 and he developed insomnia problems that drove his death accident. The man gave everything and was scared to death... Can you imagine what was the "value" of a black guy in 1970 for the mafia ?
Norman John Malcolm Forbes (I think) wrote a book about famous people that died too young and so on and said Hendrix died from sheer exhaustion . I believe it was more than just that but that had a lot to do with it.
@@marsattacks7071 Chad? You mean chas chandler. The former bassist for the animals and manager of jimi hendrix during his early career until around 1968 when Michael jeffery took over as manager.
@@hellfire8883 You're right Jared. Chandler was his manager and Jeffery was the NY bum.
@@marsattacks7071 Yea it's a sad situation. Just all the pressure and bs he had to deal with when being managed by jeffery. I also wonder what could have been if it hadn't come to this burnout situation that ultimately took a huge toll on him and led to his unfortunate death. At least he was quite prolific in his short career and left us a good amount of material and live recordings which ultimately catch him at his best. That's not to say he wasnt just as great in the studio because he was. That's where he would create. He used the studio as his own personal creation machine recording every lick and jam. Some would say he overindulged in the studio but if that's where he wants to spend the money then let him. So I'm just glad we have his music because its timeless.
Damn it still hurts... :(
R. i . P thank you for all !!!!1
yep, been there. Was 17 then
i wish i coulda just seen him 1 time
Humble opinion. The vinyl studio of Voodoo Child, Slight Return was, maybe still is, so ahead of it's time, nothing done since, no matter how brilliant all the rock songs and solos of the 70s and after are in their own way, can ever really touch it. There's just something about that track.
Kelly14UK That's because you can actually hear on that track, Voodoo Child slight return, Jimi Hendrix summoning the most potent medicine magic that is so far beyond most mere guitarist it's not even funny. They all run scales and anally polish their technique while Hendrix was practicing strong magic. That is why even the heaviest of rock guitarist most sound absolutely effeminate compared to Jimi. He was a true shaman and an artist extraordinaire.
he was a genius
Jimi is touching the hand of God... literally !
he does' Hey Baby' here. one of his last and best songs. ended up on Rainbow Bridge.
I can't imagine what songs would of been made had Jimi decided to quit doing shows just like the Beatles did. He probably would of still been alive today or at least live much longer. He overdid it. Rarely even took a break too.
The god 🔥 🎸
AMAZING GUITARISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
A
magical cameras
that was a awesome version of this song he got hot as the gig went on, wow what a way to go out, sad
this is sad cuz I can tell that he was tired but Man, was he way ahead of his time.....
he truly is a modern day Mozart!!
Shit he was getting BETTER than ever deeper just badass more fuller sound mix dubs pushing it babies he was pushing past all conventional wisdom guitar
@ 3:28 you can see Clapton (directly to Jimi's right) looking a bit stunned...
Jimi Hendrix' last public performance was at gig with Eric Burdon in London the night of his death. In an interview somewhere here on RUclips, Burdon says Jimi Hendrix was already in bad shape earlier in the evening. Jimi Hendrix had fairly close relationship with the Animals. Chas Chandler, Animals' bassist, brought Hendrix to London from New York, set him up with Redding and Mitchell, and produced Hendrix' first recordings. Hendrix is probably main reasons why Burdon, one of the great rock and R&B vocalists in his own right, tried to go "psychedelic"
I had heard that Jimi was at Eric's flat when that cunt showed up to get Jimi to go home with her. Eric told him not to go but Jimi went anyway. I truly believe that he was killed that night.
Priest Hendrix!
Fuckin" hell`s demons", stealin` money from the WORLDS GREATEST GUITARIST!J.H.(R.I.P.)
The very last music legends to perform with Jimi Hendrix a night or two before he died were Eric Burdon and these original artists of WAR, Howard Scott, Harold Brown, Lee Oskar, BB Dickerson, at facebook.com/LowriderBand. These talented artists for some reason or other seem to be left out of the Jimi Hendrix story.
WAR for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017!
SRVs last song was Voodoo Child as well...
well he finally got it tuned...
this sounds like it was one hellava performance that day, if anyone was there was it?
That's like the same thing that happened back in 1969 at Altamont, Calif.. The Rolling Stones gave a free concert and had hired the Hell's Angels as security? But, who was going to protect everyone from the Hell's Angels?? There was a lot of Acid and Reds back then! Woopee, let Chaos run free!!!
first pic made me think of "hear my train a'comin"
On the basis of these pics, you can definitely see that drugs and fast living took a toll on Jimi. He was about 27, yet he looked like he was 47.
Jimi Hendrix a real Rock God there won't be another one like him I'm glad I seen him when I was a kid like truly truly miss what I think Jimi hendrix's brother instead of owning the rights to his t-shirts should own the rights to his music not Jimi Hendrix adopted daughter I think that's a total rip-off I don't care who was Jimi Hendrix
Father had excluded his own son from the rights to his music the only flesh and blood but still alive what kind of horseshit is this sincere Elvis Aaron Presley Mark Dawson give the
The rights to Jimi hendrix's Brothers should own it
Elvis A P Mark Dawson
SUPPOSEDLY, Al Hendrix wuz afraid Leon would smoke Jimiz legacy away.
While Leon Hendrix did have a drug problem ( crack cocaine, I blieve. ) he had kicked da habit, b4 Al died. He blievez Al, senile, & near death, wuz made 2 sign a new will, xcluding Leon.
I blieve, Jimi woulda undastood his brotherz drug issuez & still had confidence dat Leon would take care of his legacy, nstead of trusting his sister, who wuz only so, by marriage. Not by blood.
Azz a result of how thangz stand, Hendrix may bcum SO CALLED White, or Asian, n about 100 yearz time.
I side wit u, dat itz BS, dat Janie, got total conrol of da Hendrix estate.
Who the hell who the hell is this he didn't do crap crack wasn't even developed back then you don't even know what you're talking about back then it was only pills weed heroin and just straight cocaine cupcake crack was never invented then
And also LSD was invented then you don't know what you're talking about still you haven't got a clue crack was never invented but then again all say it but they are looking into the investigation on Jimi hendrix's death he was taking multiple sleeping pills that's what they said kill them it was a whole bunch of drugs in his system that killed him so get your facts right I'm older than you and you don't have a clue on what you're talking about man I've lived those days of free love sincerely TCB Elvis Presley
And they are reopening his case on his death you'll find it on RUclips man oh man I can't believe this guy
Elvis A P Mark Dawson
I wuz talking about Jimiz brother, LEON, bein addicted 2 crack. Not Jimi.
Look @ RUclipsz of Leon, talking about whut happened, or go buy his book. ( I read it, @ da library. )
Elvis A P Mark Dawson
Calm down Elvis!!! I said, I agree wit u!
I also agree wit u, dat Hendrix didn't overdose on Heroin, sleeping tabletz, or any otha drug. I have heard about da large amount of red-wine, n Jimiz lungz. Thusly, it lookz like he wuz water-boarded/drowned, n red-wine. A 3-letter GovernMENTAL agency, tactic.
Version énergique, Stockholm 31 août 1970.
Malgré le décalage horaire et le show à Wight ...
I've been dead a long time.
Jimi Hendrix last interview performance (Isle of Wight Festival), in the early hours of 31 August 1970. - 18 days before his death.
I was there & had a friend who worked at the hotel.
This was not his last live performance.
The Isle Of White was. Irrefutable fact.
Jimi believed in reincarnation sometimes I wonder if we gave a guitar to a lion to see what would happen 😂
He died young. That sucks, yet he just keeps on going. To think, if some idiot just let him roll over and expel the vomit and breath, he may very well still be with us.
hes just tuning while playing voodoo child.
Where did you find that picture at 2:05???
you can't see it but jimi is tuning while playing, it went out pretty bad with all that whammy stuff in the beginning, they didn't have locking nuts in those days so strings stretching in every direction. he really lets loose when he gets it dialed in... jimi in fact was getting even better, i can't imaging the stuff he would have come up with since 1970 when he died.
It's the live audio setup,not him
Another theory that makes sense is that CIA murdered Hendrix under Countelpro program because Hendrix played a free gig for black panthers and also played several times the spangled stars banner in "unorthodox" way
2019 ?
シャイでやさしい性格だったらしいよ（涙）
I know fashions change with the wind, but here's a good tip: stay away from wide lapels.
That FIRST Picture of Jimi in the rain by the train DOES NOT look like its from the 50's coz black people didnt have Big afro's in the 1950,they greased it down,"konked' it out,curled and rolled it or simply straightened it and wore it parted. I can see how a black and white shot would resemble in some aspects the 1950's but this one isnt even that come close to it.
Voodoo Chile Rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Vintage Sounds It's Voodoo Child
He shoulda just used a Floyd Rose locking tremolo. My guitar never goes out of tune :)
This sounds like Atlanta pop festival
Deleted Account it's definitely not
Hendrix looks ill for a reason. He was about to be murdered by both American and British intelligence for his stand against the Vietnam war, and association with the Blank Panthers. His younger brother was in prison for resisting the draft, and Hendrix was revered. Check out his autopsy results he had two gallons of red wine in his LUNGS, but no drugs. When was the last time you heard of a guy dying from a LUNG overdose of any liquid in a hotel room?
Gerard Bellas where did you get this info? I've never heard that.
just another bat shit crazy conspiracy theory
Killed by his Manager, who had just taken an insurance policy on him, right before he was about to get sued by Jimi.
What, no security or entorage??
Man his tone is gritty and mean sounding here
you need t go back and check your info
I guarantee you Clapton knew how to play "Killing Floor."
this isn't from Fehmarn
I heard that festival was worse than Altamont
It's a myth that he played the guitar with his teeth. He played it with his tongue.
The video-grapher states 'Jimi didn't want to be there...', as if he actually knows what Hendrix was thinking....what rubbish.
stoned,,,paulada.
Jimi grew tired of the scene, no longer gave a shit, and got reckless.
And one night he took too many pills and never woke up. The end. NOOOO!!! Stop! Back up! Rewind! Sorry, that's the way the cookie crumbles.
He should'a tuned up his guitar before playing.His performance is rather schizoid although he did some fancy effects and guitar tricks that sound entertaining.
I just found out they're looking into Jimi hendrix's death they found out he died of multiple drugs that were in his system and they're going to reopen his case the last person that was with him was his girlfriend I still like Jimi Hendrix a whole lot and I can't believe and how they decided on who gets what on Jimi hendrix's death Jimi hendrix's brother only
t-shirts and his half-sister got the rights to Jimi hendrix's music I feel this is undersized for his brother should have got the rights all the rights to Jimi Hendrix man on man on help people make decisions in life these days is all upside down but like I said Jimi hendrix's brother only got the rights to the T-shirt of Jimi Hendrix half sister got the rights to Jimi hendrix's music undersized full way for Jimi Hendrix his brother but they're opening the rights to Jimi Hendrix death
now it's going to be a full investigation
Janie Hendrix is NOT Jimi Hendrix sister by Blood,she is a very young(at the time) step sister is all she's half white and half japanense ,Al Hendrix Married',June" Hendrix in the mid-60;s and Janie as already a little thing then, this was June's second marriage. IM glad to hear that they are re-opening Jimi's case. I always felt and still do after 46 years of being into Jimi that he was taken out and that it was a 'hit' job ,set up and that Monika who barely knew Jimi was part of it but thats another story. Tony Brown's book the Hendrx: The Final Days . good place to start . thee are now 300 books out on Jimi at least 300 hundred,Other recommendations would be steve rody's books and Ken Voss look him up on facebook, he can recommend and does some excellent and enlightening books an reserach on Jimi Life and death. thanx for the post man. Play on Jimi!!
Okay I have two people asking me a question here number one I have a fellow at all he's obviously Scottish so I'm my I am head Clansman MacLeod Isle of Skye Scotland dunvegan castle I am a Scottish Prince by Birthright soon to gain my talk but back to Jimi Hendrix won't your answer to that one is one Jimi Hendrix father died Jim Hendricks that nap time to write a will his father made a decision on who gets what they did not give the rights of the music and everything else to Jimi Hendrix his brother because they feel he would have you ejected into his life they gave them the rights of the T-shirt now Jimi Hendrix have sister has all the rights to his music and everything so I don't know what's going on question yes we all know that Jimi Hendrix was murdered Miss Webb they apparently reopened his case and they're looking into it because they found multiple drugs in his system so whatever they said back in the sixties of what he died from and they called it suicide which we all know today that he has died wrongful accusal meant which were trying to karate yes he was murdered Ray backwards homework we do believe it might be his girlfriend that did it but Jimi Hendrix where was the 1960s you can look at it thank you thank you very much sincerely TCB Elvis Presley and I'm very much alive now
I don't know what kind of person you are you don't leave a message you just run off and hide what's the matter my picture scare you

Elvis A P Mark Dawson what kind of drugs you on?
Elvis A P Mark Dawson the truth deserve to be heard, it's been hidden a long time
jimmy had millions stolen from him by management....jimi just wanted to play for the people, eh would jam for free, jimi didnt understand the business part and was naive
or too much of a genius to care about something as meaningless as money
+Tomás Urdiales well said
Whoever said jimi had red wine in his lungs - thats true - but no drugs?? We must be looking at two different autopsy reports
Wish jimi was in new York at electric lady. Instead of Germany. Out making money for them greedy vultures.
I love jimi but this doesn't sound very good. He must've been off his game that day
I know times has changed , All the so call artist now days are so F SPOIL they would be crying if they had to walk a block
He was 27 and looks like 60...
it would have been interesting if he had lived to mediocrity. of course it wouldn't have been because when they don't die it's just another "classic rock artist". super cool cat. not meant for old bones.
Damn- wicked out of tune, at the beginning.
Then he choked on his vomit 🤢
Mmm, sad. You can see the addictive lifestyle was catching up, he looks ill. God wasn't high on his priority list it appears.
The amount of barbituates ingested was so large, I wouldn't rule out suicide.
His choice of ingesting such an amount at the very least says,
"I'll show you, I'll hurt me!"
Drug addiction was obvious. He chose to continue, and not seek help. Sadly his family and us, his fans, had to accept his death.
@ 2:24 the viewer gets a glimpse of the Guitar I always thought Hendrix sounded best playing: 1967 GIBSON FLYING 'V'. A completely bad-a$$ Guitar, omg !
I'm sorry but this sounds horrible.
listen twice :P
Finally someone who has ears.
He always absolutely sucked live. I'm yet to find a truly good recording of him playing live. Most overrated guitarist ever.
