Yep. On a similar note, that's sort of how I realized just how extensive Duane Allmans slide playing is in 'Layla', all the way to the very end. A guy on here did a solo teaching just his parts of the song and it blew me away how much more there was compared to what you hear in the original studio mix and even the remastered version. For me, as well, there's no comparison when talking versions of 'Layla' . The original studio version with his slide playing is the only version, IMO. 😁 That makes the song what it is. The casual listener probably never even knew Duane played on this song, much less that he came up with that iconic riff that's the meat & potatoes of the entire thing.
I was a senior in high school when Jimi died. Sad day. I still remember seeing people, mostly girls, crying in the halls. Not only the guitarist that resounded through the universe but a beautiful man that contributed to the joy of mankind.
+Bill Taylor Yes, I was a 16 yr old living in London , not far from the Samarkand Hotel, Notting Hill Gate and also at school. We were in tears also and went down to the area around 2.30 p.m. I recall the newspaper headlines...we were lucky to've seen Jimi live a few times even casually around London.
Happy every time I listen to him, then immediately depressed because nothing will ever compare... We have NOTHING like this now... We miss you Jimi ! ! ! ! !
Jimi was 20 years ahead of his time musically. He had a big heart, a deep spirituality, cared about mankind and was very articulate about life. He not only played his music he was music. I saw him in 1968 in Columbia, Maryland and he became my "Life Long Hero". I studied his music. He got me through some of the worst times of my life. The day he died I was crushed. It was a sad day for music and for the world itself. He was only getting started when he passed. What direction would his music have taken after that. I could only dream and still do till this day. His music was life itself. I am proud to say that "I am Experienced".
Me too! I had an older brother who was heavily into Hendrix and electric 🎸 ❤️ love & miss you bro always ..you went way before your time❤ growing up hearing so much Hendrix it got to the stage where I thought "I Know this track" but do I love it for me or because I've heard it so many times before..and in the end I loved it for both of us. Never got to see Jimi live (you were blessed) but I've listened to so many songs/albums and read so many books and watched just about every documentary going that i can appreciate such an awesome talent (Jimi was one of a kind and stood alone in his excellence)and i got to witness that thanks to the love of an older brother who was gentle and kind .. who loved his music & motorbikes and died too young❤R.I.P. Ray xx
The older I get, the MORE I appreciate and miss this man's talents. Not only was he a phenomenal guitar player..he had an extraordinary mind. Love watching interviews with Jimi. Supernova 💫
Mitch Mitchell was some drummer, never got the recognition he deserves when people discuss greatest drummers. And imagine where Jimi was gonna take his sound, I imagine it almost been like parliament funkadelic or sly stone with real edge and drive instead of the laid back groove of pure funk. He was a musical alchemist, one of the best to ever do it obviously
The story goes the boys were at a rented mansion in upstate New York getting ready for Woodstock when Jimi heard Billy Cox playing some notes on his Bass.Jimi Leaned out the window asking Billy what he was playing.Billy responded it was from the famous clock in London Big Bens chime.Slow down Dolly Daggers main notes and youll see theres a sense of familiarity
The ultimate Hendrix line up was Jimi, Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell. The chemistry those three had was just phenomenal and you really hear it on ANY song where three played together. No offense to Noel Redding and Buddy Miles but Cox and Mitchell were far superior players who understood how to support what Jimi was doing.
Different styles.....Both Great drummers and...Both played great with Hendrix at different times in Jimi's career....Band of Gypsies is one of my top 3 all time live albums...
Mr. Cox expresses a theme I've heard before when examining the production of good music:. The studio is a laboratory, where musicians can create. Brian Wilson's work is a great example. The tin-pan-alley production music from KPM also afforded artists the ability to experiment.
Jimi was fortunate to have met me on several occasions after he pinched my licks. I mean I taught him nigh on everything he knew in the guitar. He was always asking me for my autograph. I gave in eventually on a promise that he'd make it known how much i influenced & inspired him. Well of course the rest is history as you know, because, he never did make it known... The rotter
I've made other comments about Dolly Dagger elsewhere. In one sense it was about a different direction for Hendrix, but only new from the "not Experience" sound (proper). In fact this is a little bit of a call back to his earlier R&B experience done his way - as opposed to him being a sideman. For the Maui recordings see "Jimi Hendrix The Rainbow Bridge Concert - Haleakala Crater, Maui, Hawaii, July 30th 1970" -Purple Haze Records 2002. It is a 2 CD set. More for a collector and I enjoy it.
if Jimi Hendrix wanted Noel Redding back after they send Billy Cox back to Nashville as a result of the drug he had taken accidentally Noel would've been there. however Micheal Jeffrey's had other plans for Jimi Hendrix. he knew he was going to take Jimi out before Jimi's birthday and before the contract was expired in November of 1970.
@@chriscullen6949 I would not be surprised... he would not have approved of many things that have been released posthumously...I suspect. I do enjoy some of the bootlegs though- raw free jams... love them. But some of the more produced stuff... hmmm I don' know..
alhibaamir taracapricemama She musta been hella heavy WOman, 4 Hendrix 2 write a song about her. Only Catherine Etchington, Linda Keith, & Jimiz mom, made da cut. ( There wuz anutha, named Scorpio WOman due up, BUTT Jimi died b4 he could finish her tune. )
@@Einnor084 Your lame attempt to be hip and cool is not working...Melinda Merryweather was the girl he wrote Scorpio Woman for....Devon was a hella heavy heroin star fucker, who died a few months after Jimi did, either falling by accident out of a window, or committing suicide...no big loss to society.
@@Einnor084 dolly dagger came about at JH's 27TH BIRTHDAY 🎉 PARTY. November 27, '69; in NYC at DERRING HOWES'S penthouse suite. Howe & jh were buddies. Devon threw the 🥳 party for jh, but somehow.. mick jagger of the Rolling Stones was there also. Jagger cut ✂️ his hand & Devon goes over to SUCK THE BLOOD from dudes' ✂️ cut. Hence the line: "she's drinks the blood from uh jagged edge".
There are some killer tracks on the "Rainbow Bridge" soundtrack. It never seems to get a mention when Jimi's work is under review. I'm not wild about the production, but the songs are, on the whole rock solid. The guitar playing is some of Jimi's most incendiary.
I agree so much with this statement. The Mona Lisa is in a public museum. So are many of the world's other greatest works of art. They are available for viewing. When you hide an artist's work you deprive the world of it. It does nothing for the appreciation of the art itself or the artist.
@@crlfff Ya think so? I feel like Freddie doing that sort of bluesy singing would be weird and be done better by many different singers. And any style that fits Freddie, you may as well get a guitarist more attuned to that style, ya know? I mean it would be awesome because its those 2 together, but there are much better suited pairings.
Noel actually did bring enough verve most of the time with regard to the records. Cox would've been deeply creative in the writing stages. Noel was good because you know he had to work at it being new to bass, actually a great way to get perspective (and most english bassists weren't all that in my opinion), but you aren't half the jammer, totally bound to lose a lot of confidence and mastery on the stage. Billy gave so much in just those few months! Would've made magic. Noel had the inclination to be loud, I'll give him that
No way was Billy a Better Bassist than Noel, Noel could read and understand music and had a better command, just listen to Noel's Bass during if 6 were 9. Billy couldn't play all those Bass patterns. Billy was solid but Basic

It only seriously bothers me that they insist on playing footage that actually still has the live music on it and dub it with the chopped up studio versions. Good fucking job guys...
can't agree bILLY WAS FAR FAR FAR MORE IN TUNE WITH jIMI'S PLAYING. Noel was a pop song muso, Billy had funk and a great bass player who could come up with great riffs that hi and jimi would work up into songs. Ezy Rider for one.
No you are all wrong Jimi Hendrix and Noel couldn't get along it was to much tension between the two of them that's why Jimi Hendrix left the experience to start the band of gypsies because he wanted to get back into more blues and jazz and stop playing rock music
I think he's a better rhythm guitarist than lead, a lot of his live leads were sloppy and loaded with mistakes, slow. Killing floor at Monterey proves how good a rhythm guitarist he was
A lot of what he did live was sloppy, a great deal of the time live he’s cutting loose and taking chances, off the cuff improvisation isnt always gonna be well executed
Songs like Dolly Dagger and Izabella lack magic. They are cold songs, without any of the mystique of the first three studio albums. Apart from Angle, I cannot listen to the songs on that New Rays of the Rising Sun album. I honestly believe he was past his prime. He had burnt too bright during those four years.

Always loved Dolly Dagger, just venturing into new territory, evolving in real time!
if memory serves, that last bit of Jimi playinga flying wing guitar was @ ISLE OF WIGHT , his last show
One of my favorite songs I really loved the direction he was going Love the later stuff Even the pieces he played on bass himself
First Rays of the New Rising Sun is a killer compilation. He was heading in a hard rock/classic 70's Rock direction.
@@Excalibur2112 His new direction was never hard rock,Thank Christ',he was never a "rock" player.Please use your ears.

Jimi is such an underrated singer
When your new sound becomes the gold standard of how to play guitar,. You must be Jimi Hendrix
50 years since we lost Jimi. God bless him always.
He is forever in our hearts and on our speakers, headphones and screens. Did someone say hologram?
Mitch was a great drummer!!!
Townsend also talks about laying down bed tracks with lead and adding a rhythm track later. A very intriguing notion!

its free in spotify, and its not like ur supporting his work if u buy it - ur just giving more money to hendrixs stepsister, janie

I think he's a better rhythm guitarist than lead, a lot of his live leads were sloppy and loaded with mistakes, slow. Killing floor at Monterey proves how good a rhythm guitarist he was
A lot of what he did live was sloppy, a great deal of the time live he’s cutting loose and taking chances, off the cuff improvisation isnt always gonna be well executed
Songs like Dolly Dagger and Izabella lack magic. They are cold songs, without any of the mystique of the first three studio albums.

Unfortunately, this was the only really great cut on the album. There are a couple of others that aren't bad, but overall the record was his first sub par album.
Most of the songs on the album still needed a final mix
