An unterested Jimi doing a half baked Hey Joe is a performance his later day contemporaries could never attain in a lifetime of playing. Toured to death, gangster management and the hangers on .
Never payed much attention to the solo section in 1:44, but it is truly amazing. So much raw force and creative power (specially in the first seconds, you can also see how massive Jimi's hands were :O ) . Same goes for outro section in 2:44, almost entire new songs and endless possibilities in small but beautiful phrases. A true genius, one and only.
This has always been one of my favorite Hendrix tracks, but he did say toward the end that he was tired of performing it and even refused on occasion when the crowds demanded it. I still love hearing it.
They played two shows in Stockholm this day and this is the first show but the version of Hey Joe from the second show was probably the best version they ever played of the song.

The little sliding fill Hendrix played over the D and A chord in the verse at 0:21 is one of my favourite things I ever heard him play. Tired and a little sad, so beautifully expressive of how he seemed to be feeling right then
You're right and that's why i love his music ... I mean, you can listen to his music 10 000 times, it's always different .... And everybody has a different opinion about the best ... Personnaly i like this one just because I can feel the huge amount of feelings he blowed through this version .... That's unbelievable .... The strange thing is that i've never find an artist who the gooseflesh like Jimi .... Each of his songs have a meaning, a reason to exist even he covered them ... Peace !
Yeah it kinda sad when you look at it cause you know he's thinking "Hey Joe" for the 30,000th time and he's obviously tired. But there's a clip from this concert where he said they hadn't played together in a while so just bare with them. His management should have been tied and beat having them them tour like that anyway. At some point he started playing that riff from "I feel fine" by the Beatles all the time when playing hey joe
Beautiful expression version. It's like Hendrix talking to Joe some afternoon that he bumped into him in the villa and told him creepy, calm what he was going to do then and after. In this version Jimi didn't play his guitar with his teeth or behind his back.
I think Jimi Hendrix probably pressured himself more than anybody could ever pressure him. Remember He is an ex military man 104th airborne U S Army veteran at a very young age. One of those breeds who tends to accomplish a lot in life within a short span of time of course no doubt.
He was forced to join the military after getting caught riding in stolen cars. While there he was often neglectful of his duties, so I wouldn't call him a shining example of the U.S army.
I was looking for that. You can tell when you put this performance up against the 67 performances of monterrey or in London. The drugs and the road certainly took a toll too by 69. They didn't know of the psychological damage, irreversible in some sad cases those drugs could deliver.
@@amyh3873 Check out the version of hey Joe they played on the second show that same day in Stockholm,its probably the best version of hey Joe they ever played, the version in this vid was the first show
Hmmm do you have any idea where i might be able to find it? I really fell in love with this preformance and I would really appreciate it if you helped me ^^
this sounds great. i think this is the best version if the monterey version isn't. he didn't look bothered when he played it because, it's tuned down a whole step, and when these songs in e are tuned down a whole step, then it gives it a more gloomy feeling. watch the atlanta concert. its the same way.
@Ruby2052 best songs, vocal and guitar hooks. best studio work. i wore out vinyl "smash hits" 3 times. i loved it.but for pure guitar playing genius live, it's band of gypsys. i never found any fault with noel redding's bass playing back then. but as a more mature musician now, 4 me, billy cox's playing brought out a completely different kind of playing, especially with buddy miles on drums. you have to agree it's way funkier than anything the experience did.(if you like that sort of thing. )
@@stringbender3 well so it's just the angle of the camera that makes it look bigger, I think his hands are 9 inch long, which are about the same length as Kobe's, less than Shaq's who has a 10.25 inch
@@stringbender3 I estimated it myself by his last photos, where he grabbed his guitar, his hands were indeed a NBA scale, yet 10.75 is absolutely a rumor
"yeah i guess i HAVE to step up to the mike and sing this". a half beat late. geez he looks and sounds bored. or depressed. he doesnt even bother to finish the verse, or the next one!. time for some new material and a new band. (of gypsy's)
For some reason the best versions have been cancelled. The 50 million from Germany ( Offenbach) is off. Probably the sister foundation thing. Or stupid politics..
Guitar teachers will tell you keep your thumb behind the neck of the guitar....and heres Jimi with his thumb practically overlapping his fret fingers LOL
@zaneverovati bored singing the same shit every night w/ the band he didnt pick but was thrown into by his english producers. i love mitch mitchell's drumming, for what it is, but it isn't funky. he never liked noel redding's bass playing much.(typical guitarist turns bassist style)he was on the verge of breaking out w/ his old mate from the air force days, billy cox on bass,& buddy miles on drums. check out some clips of his new years eve'69performance(band of gypsies)his best playing ever.
@sytemofadownwinna theres something i've needed to get off my chest for a long time now, and theres no easy way to put it,"i am your father" i am sorry i never told you sooner but your mother as not made it easy for me either. the guy you've been calling dad is not blood related to you and thats why you look nothing like him, your mother used to tell him she was going bingo with some of her girl friends but instead come round my house for a good seeing too,a full service.
@stuntlife56 i wish i had time to study but i'm to busy running a successful business if you own your own business i'd like to hear about it ,if not,i dont want to ever hear from you again. peoples opinions are worthless if they dont work.

Great how he can't get the damn guitar in tune in this concert and still sounds like a force of nature ...brilliant ...unmatched
This was the Jimi Hendrix Experience on a bad night lol
I think this is one of the best jimi live, the spanish castle magic of this live is the perfect music ive ever heard in my lif
@@Ohbubbano funny you say that because the second set he played this night he played the greatest version of hey joe ever lol
@@Liam-fn8ylwhat’s the second set

I wouldn't have noticed that if you hadn't said it. But he draws on that concept a lot and it does give this one a different mood.
I studied and know by memory this entire version. There so many fantastic little details. The one your are pointing is absolutely beautiful.

I saw him in san francisco in 67 live,free in golden gate park. No three people ever put out more music.
1969 is the year Jimi should have had off. Took it easy in California or Morocco. He never had a break.
Listen man, he was wicked tired by the time 1969 came around. He had been touring constantly, with little down time!
Jimmy hendrix veio pra mostrar o que é, muito fera toca muito guitarra 🎸, dono de uma voz maestral, Jimmy total.
Beautiful expression version. It's like Hendrix talking to Joe some afternoon that he bumped into him in the villa and told him creepy, calm what he was going to do then and after. In this version Jimi didn't play his guitar with his teeth or behind his back.
At 3:08 he plays a lick from the Beatles song "I Feel Fine". sooo groovy
3:08
Sounds nothing like it at all
He wasn't even into it, and totally kicked its asss........what beautiful licks. Anyone who plays, knows...... he was THE Master.....
When Jimi Hendrix play live at Berkeley and play Hey Joe I like that version better
Doesn't matter what Mitch looks like, he is drumming royalty.
Jimi wanted to get into acting in Hollywood . 🇺🇸🎬

@@Yohodaify to go to other countries and wage war against people in the name of freedom that's no shining example.
this is the first night of the tour and i'm pretty sure i caught every night on yt full concerts keep looking
he was very tired. there was too much pressure put on him that he barely had any sleep.
Samuel Ortiz just like Elvis 👍.
@@Tyr1333 not like elvis
dude! One whole step tuned guitar and that solo is so great!
3:18 that chirping tone he gets right there is sublime, he wasn’t always rough, he could sing with the guitar too
man he's really sick and tired of playing this song! and still this version isn't that bad

Jimi played Hey Joe the three times I saw him. They were all a little different but all great.
Lol since im like 7 years old I always thought Jimi was saying at 1:12 ''I heard you shot John Lennon down, shot it down on the ground''
I love your brain for coming up with that
I like this version. It's more subdued and dark feeling.
As if Joe Gunn's spirit himself showed up. That WAS THAT Joe. I felt it too
3 piece band kickin ass with no back up singers or players
@TDS4UT
Thats a Fuzz Face Jimi reaches for at 1:41.
Roger Mayer was the engineer that set up effects for Jimi.
Regardless, Jimi will kick you in the nuts. A maestro who knows his power.
Love it.
la guitarra mas veloz del universo!!! unico en su especie,jimi hendrix RIP.
Hmmm do you have any idea where i might be able to find it? I really fell in love with this preformance and I would really appreciate it if you helped me ^^
Es un grande
Jimi Hendrix, Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell - 3 virtuos musicians !!!

cOULD YOU IMAGINE SEEING THIS LIVE?
big one up man, people need to kick back n relax :) worldpeace now!!!
Yes Happy birthday Jimi!!!
My Grandpa was there!!
Geddy Lee on the base , kool
Jimi seems out of it, but it's still Awesome !

If we had thumbs as long as Hendrix, we'd all be guitar players. He played the E because he could.
Hey Joe, dónde vas con esa pistola en la mano!!!
@MinecraftSquareTV pretty sure yes. i read he tuned his guitar down so he could bend the (looser) strings more easily.
valeu🎉🎊😳
3:05 to 3:08 - Bet Hendrix felt fine that night.
Is that his black beauty guitar? The neck looks so thin compared to what it looks like in other videos, or he customized it?
His hands are just massive.
@@stringbender3 well so it's just the angle of the camera that makes it look bigger, I think his hands are 9 inch long, which are about the same length as Kobe's, less than Shaq's who has a 10.25 inch

On his worst day Jimi was King Arthur 🎉
its sad how people argue on all the good videos on youtube,,, expecially hendrix videos...
does anyone know if there is a CD of this performance? or a dvd i can get my hands on?
I had a cassette in 1999 with this song. Unfortunately I lose this record. Never since found it again.
There is a man who would rather be working on new tunes,, wow..
This version's so cool...he screws up the lyrics on the second half then just says fuck it and plays a solo to recover
He tries to reinvent his songs every time hes plays them.
iv red both biographies, n it was mor than that lol :)
Why is Jimi so sad??
Because of all the pressure he was under at the time plus he was exhausted from the constant touring it takes it's toll on you eventually.
This piece of work call Mike Jeffreys.... There's always Jack A... In paradise somewhere
Oh. I am from Stockholm! But I was born the year after ´69. Such a waste he died so young.
Hey Joe, dónde vas con esa pistola en la mano??
what a solo...
he lookd so tired, rip jimi and mitch
peace
bluesfashion ríp Noel
Might have taken an aspirin or 2 maybe? Still brilliant.
The out of tune guitar just adds to the melancholic feel this version has
@sytemofadownwinna is that all you got to say?
he died to early, greets from Germany
@mrplavick9 he always did that...! you must be a kneeeeeeeeeewb!!! lol welcome!
Jimi Hendrix is staging an act Not sad at all.
Now why would he pretend he was sad that makes no damn sense.
@zaneverovati might be because of drugs but the only one who knows for sure is the god of guitar himself.
"yeah i guess i HAVE to step up to the mike and sing this". a half beat late. geez he looks and sounds bored. or depressed. he doesnt even bother to finish the verse, or the next one!. time for some new material and a new band. (of gypsy's)
For some reason the best versions have been cancelled. The 50 million from Germany ( Offenbach) is off. Probably the sister foundation thing.
Or stupid politics..
@slmccabe Jimi would tune 1/2 step down to match his voice
When he is serious about playing he is at his best , Guitar sounds like it is tuned down to D . He also performed much better without drugs .
He wasn't on no drugs stop believing what the media tells you and think for yourself.

Guitar teachers will tell you keep your thumb behind the neck of the guitar....and heres Jimi with his thumb practically overlapping his fret fingers LOL
By classical and flamenco guitar my friend, by electric the thumb like that is fine.
