What you have to remember is that no one, and I mean no one had ever played a guitar like this before Jimi. So much distorsion, overdrive and drive. He blew our fragile little minds!!!!

Jimi was pure raw talent, a lot of people didn't understand his music. The crowd was filled with people that were stoned. We were jumping up and down on the inside.

If you didn’t notice, Jimi played a right-handed guitar left-handed, which gave him his own unique sound and style.

Check out more Jimi, Hey Joe live at the Monterey Pop Festival 67, Foxey Lady live at the Miami Pop Festival 68. His performance of this same song, Voodoo Child at Woodstock 69 is another level up from this version. ☮️

They are not moving, they are having the most sicodelic trip they will ever have. You wont understand... JIMI GOAT !!!!!

Keep in mind the percentage of the audience that is high 😏. Jimi's playing has always been the most expressive and a connection with his body.

Mind blown !!! Wow ,he was something else ,it’s like the guitar was part of his own body ! Thank you Debbie

Watching Hendrix back in the day was like witnessing aliens land . It was really out there and the talent was other worldly .

One of Hendrix's gift other than his musical genius , was he had really long fingers. That made him very easy to all around the . Even using his thumb for top 3 strings and up & down the neck.

Watch : Hendrix live at Monterey Pop Festival - Atlanta Pop Festival - Woodstock - live at Maui . Those are a few of many . You can also listen to the album : live at the Filmore 👌👌👌👌🤙🤙🎸

Jimi Hendrix is probably one of the reasons we have hard rock and heavy metal, as he brough another level to guitar playing based on the blues. He inspired so many guitar player of today, including Stevie Ray. Here's an earlier clip from 1967 with great footage and sound: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p6yWoc-Kx6ypmXk.html

Jimi was able to control the distortion of the amplifiers that were available at the time

Before Hendrix guitarists were fighting against the tech of the time, trying to get the cleanest sound they could. Jimi came along and decided he could use the distortion and feedback, all the imperfections became part of his toolbox. After Hendrix it's unusual for anyone not to use distortion. The Jimi Hendrix Experience ran as a band from October 1966 to June 1969. He continued to perform after that into 1970. Jimi died in September 1970 aged 27. In just 4 years he had changed the face, and sound, of rock music forever.

since your new to blues go wayyyyyy back to when it started worth checking out. my personal favorite type of blues are the Delta Blues.a forgotten art

*Hey beautiful Debbie* Your hair is amazing today woman.! Jimi the feedback master who intimidated ALL his peers.! What I wouldn't have given to see him and Stevie Ray Vaughan do a concert together.! Well....... one can dream..... Have a magnificent day Deb.....

ok the backstory of this concert at the rainbow bridge meditation research centre - when you enetered you were given a tab of LSD and told to sit with the people in your star sign - aries sit with aries - leo sit with leo - and etc ( you can see the flags ) - it was called a sound and colour experiment

The one and only Postmodern Expressionist in music. Miss you hard Jimi. "Are you Experienced," off the 1967 album titled 'Are You Experienced.' Cool reactions girl.

Check out his first concert appearance at Monterey Pop Festival with his original Jimi Hendrix Experience band. That's when he put his guitar on fire and smashed it. He first did a stint in the army then became a sideman for other black artists. He went out on his own and traveled to London, UK where he made a huge impression. The Beatles had come out with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and a few days later when Jimi was at the Nine Inch Nails club, he played the song while Paul McCartney and his girlfriend Linda were in the audience. Paul said he was so impressed and honored. Linda later introduced them since she knew Jimi when they both lived in New York City. Eric Clapton was there too and ran out of the room when he heard Jimi's playing. Jimi's version of Bob Dylan's All Along The Watchtower is a classic. Check that one out. Even Dylan was impressed with it. They almost met, but that's another story.

hendrix has 2 songs - voodoo chile is the 14 min version of the song = voodoo child slight return - is the 6 min version of the song - both are different

Try " CREAM " farewell show at the Royal Albert Hall. Also a lot of Clapton in the 70's live & studio . B. B King - CCR - Pink Floyd - Deep Purple . Also Clapton at the Crossroads Festival

1969-Memphis, played before 10,000 sellout I was there; 1970-(2 months prior to his death) Memphis played in 11,000 seat coliseum; only 2000 attended-- (9000 empty seats!); proves he was not understood in his music even to the last!

Check out Band of Gypsys Fillmore East New Years Eve 1970. Hendrix playing Machine Gun is out of this world.

I does appreciate me a great guitar riff, a proper 'feels' moment, and Hendrix was simply amazing - without equal!! I always enjoyed a well-played guitar, I grew up on certain old school rock'n'roll artists like Hendrix that my Dad would continuously play on his Record player at the weekends - but I think the first song I really heard for myself & obsessed about (guitar-wise) was Bon Jovi's 'Dry County', I had just started my first job & their album was the first thing I treated myself to from my first paycheck! 😁❤

Jimi was the innovator and Stevie Ray was the perfector🎸🎶‼️💙🎶🎸

An even better live version of "Voodoo Chile" is his Woodstock performance. It's on YT...

Audiences back then would actually pay attention. It was more about experiencing real artistry, and not just about having a good time.

The OG of the guitar yet his Inspiration is his greatest gift

Jimi and his guitar were as one. He could do things with a guitar no one else had even thought off.

Actually this is very clear footage. Just wish they didn't concentrate on the crowd during the best art of his Solo and the screen wasn't polluted with the Giant title. Great you're checking him out. Another you should check from the Woodstock concert is Carlos Santana. That should blow your doors 🚪off👍

"Voodoo Chile" is a slow blues on his Electric Ladyland album featuring Steve Winwood on keys. "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" is this song, also off of Electric Ladyland (the last track).

This was not a Jimi Hendrix crowd but it was for a movie called Rainbow Bridge (horrible hippie flick) and they just gathered some people here and there to fill the place up a bit.

In those days it was considered disrespectful to make any kind of noise when bands were playing, they waited until a break in the music to applaud. I think that most people were too stunned to react!

If you want to try something else...maybe Voodoo Chile (notice the spelling difference) Totally different song. No live video but some say it's Jimi's best guitar jam ever. It's such a sick jam. It was an after hours jam at 4am in NYC. Epic!

The G.O.A.T.

Yeah, he’s pretty good at playing the guitar.

Yes he sings ❤

One of the things Hendrix liked was the crowd to sit back and enjoy the music instead of jumping all around . Although certain shows , the crowd did go crazy .

You owe it to yourself to check out his first performance in the U.S. as "The Jimi Hendrix Experience" at the monterey Pop festival if you can find it on video. His rendition of "WILD THANG" by the trogs told everyone who he was as a talent & showman.

Hey Debbie, another great reaction. I believe Jimmy would have been more phenomenal had he not died at such a young age.

The story behind SOUL SACRIFICE is , Santana was supposed to play that evening, so they dropped acid in the morning, then they were told schedule changed, they up in the morning..so keep in mind they were all tripping during their performance. Can't wait for your next AJ reaction.

Jim I is the one who actually invented heavy metal.

Concert cinematography back then wasn't what it was today. Jimi was one of my early guitar heroes along with David Gilmour and Eddie Van Halen. I can watch the same performance of Jimi's 20 times and learn/notice 20 new things. Also, shoutout to Noel Redding on bass and the great, vastly-underrated Mitch Mitchell on drums. I know you said it doesn't matter that he's left handed, but it kind of does. When Jimi started playing left handed guitars were as common as they were now, so he took a standard guitar, turned it over, and strung it upside down. It would affect his playing, especially when he played guitars like Stratocasters where the cutaways aren't as deep on the underside. I'd think it would throw off the balance as well and could be awkward as far as where one hooks the strap.

Himi Hendrix

Oh wow, I've missed a lot of your videos recently for some reason, haven't seen the notices 😞 But I'm so glad to see you're covering this particular performance of the greatest of them all 🙂 Quite a lot to say about Hendrix as I grew up in the 70's and 80s listening to his music. His style is a lot different than SRV's. SRV tends to play well, and with soul, but... "correctly". He plays everthing with passion and skill, and... correctly. It's hard to explain, until you see that Hendrix tends to not worry about playing "correctly", but will simply jump off a musical cliff not knowing what lies beneath, and create magic as he floats to the ground. Another way to put it is, he will simply toss an bunch of notes in the air and play with them as they drift to the earth. Something else you have to consider: guitars at this time did not hold tuning as well as today, so just one go on that whammy bar could send the whole thing completely out of tune, but you'd never know it as Hendrix sees that as his playground as well lol. He is know for producing sounds with that axe that no-one has yet figured out, even with all of modern technology. Your comment on the camera work here brought to mind a story that the bass player of my old band told. He lived in Nicaragua in the 70s, and when Carlos Santana did a concert there Mark was hired to work the spotlight, despite having no experience with it. Well on the night Mark did wield the spotlight, but at the same time was being fed various "substances" by his dealer throughout, and thus that light was very rarely pointed at Carlos. When meeting him after the show, apparently Santana said, Oh, so you're the guy who f...ed up the show! What memories 😆 I have no doubt the cameraman at the back of the audience was not entirely at one with his own brain 🤣🤣🤣 As for the audiences of that period. They were typical of rock audiences of the hippy period. The whole vibe was about being mellow and laid back; dancing was all about flowing with the music. They're probably all a bit stoned out of their minds as well haha. Note that in the 70's when quualudes were popular whole audiences would fall asleep at some concerts 🤣 Just one last thing to add: Beyonce called him the sexiest man who ever lived. I'm straight, but I cannot argue with her there lol

She hasn't even noticed that yet, I'm waiting for that shoe to drop 😆😅🤣😂

There are 2 songs. This was Voodoo Child (Slight Return) which was around 5 minutes long on the original album. There is also a slower paced, more bluesy song called Voodoo Chile, which was around 15 minutes long. Totally different songs. I hope that cleared it up for you. Then again, I'm a left handed guy, so can you trust what I said? 🤣🤣🤣

This is not an actual Hendrix concert . This is from a counter culture movie called Rainbow Bridge. The audience are all actors or extras . .

The only band that was ever named appropriately...The Jimi Hendrix Experience".

Jimi created it on the go. Never the same twice. He recorded everything, carrying a little recorder everywhere. So they still have material after 50 years to roll out. Jimi Hendrix - Hey Baby (New Rising Sun) from this show is a much better show of how he created a song. There many live videos from other shows but this seems kind of personal. It is all in nuance ... So sad they lost the video near the stage. But look for the Hey Baby .. or other shows to get a better grasp .. Love Ya ..

Deb, check out Hendrix playing " Hey Joe", with his Tongue! and if you do that check out Santana " Soul Sacrifice" live at Woodstock. Stevie Ray learned from JIMI.. I'm an Angelina Jordan fan. A lot of angels are old hippies.

There are much better than what you just watched I've never seen this or heard of this one this is about as uneventful as watching corn grow. Thank you for this give it another shot and I'll see what else you've been doing on your reactions thank you.

Hello, here is a tip for your reaction. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Hey Joe (1967), enjoy

Jimi was the originator but Stevie was an innovator and did it better then anyone. The only other guitarist that can do voodoo child justice is John Mayer.

He's playing a right handed guitar, restrung to play left handed 😊

Actually you caught Jimi on a rather tame day - he's practically standing still. I suggest that you check out his gig at the Monterey Pop Festival.

Yeah, Jimi never simply played the guitar, he made love to it. Also, audiences in the 60s were reluctant to dance and cameramen were appalling, never focusing on anything remotely interesting. The correct name for this song is "Voodoo Child" although it was originally mislabeled as "Voodoo Chile" by the record label.

We weren’t moving because we were stoned. 😊

The one and only 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🎸🎸 I think that is the guitar in Paul Allen's (Microsoft) collection on display in Seattle. I think he paid a cool $2 million for it It is Voodoo Chile. The videos get it wrong quite often

Check out Are you Experienced by Jimi Hendrix

FROM A MOVIE

Monterey Pop Festival

Grab the Pen miss Debbie

He was obviously left handed. He was known to walk into clubs and be asked to sit in with the band, given a right-handed strung instrument and just go at it. Let that sink in- all the strings are upside down, completely wrong for him. And he’d play it as if nothing was wrong. Add to that the fact that he was likely drunk and high half the time while doing that. Guy was a force of nature.

Jimi inspired generations of guitarists. His song Fire is one of his best. SRV was incredibly talented as well. A lesser known band that was on par with SRV was Indigenous, a Native American band led by guitarist Mato who plays and sings in a SRV style. If you’re curious, here is an awesome live performance of their song, Blues from the Sky. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p5hzg8uK1dethJ8.html

8:55😂

Probably the audience is so high they can't move lol

Hi, Debbie. Jimi Hendrix was part of my youth. He influenced a legion of guitarists. Part of the San Francisco hippy scene. Here's a link to my personal favorite: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bL-fia170rbDZmQ.html Grandma Ellen, out.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jciaddaYq764n3k.html Your request, my lady. It's a little short but it's a great vid of the master doing his thing. It's my belief that he wasn't done down here when he left way too young. So God allowed him to leave a little behind for two younger geniuses in the making - SRV of course, and Prince is the other. They both got his swag and talent. Prince didn't do a lot of guitar playing on his songs but my understanding is that he is proficient at numerous instruments. Idk much about the man but I know a lot of his music just by being a teen in the 80s. He was everywhere! Almost forgot...haha...the song is Hey Joe live at Montery Pop Music Festival, 1970 I believe. It's a cover song so don't get too upset with Jimi. 😊 Enjoy!

Jimi was the shit and nobody had ever seen a Guitarist like him, I started listening to Jimi when I was 12 I AM NOW 65... If there had not been JIMI HENDRIX there never would have been a SRV, A Robin Trower nor a Frank Marino they ALL ripped Jimi the hell off and thats the truth. In the 70's it was who could sound the MOST Like Jimi. Knock offs knock offs knock offs. SRV used to dress up Like Hendrix for Halloween. Whooptey do what bothers me is get your act together your OWN sound not copy n paste Jimi, mix it up and label the tune something else. Play On Electric Gypsy play on !!

I'm left handed , but play a right handed guitar 🎸😉🎸🎙️

Fun fact: Jimi is right handed only play guitar left.

Jimmy was the greatest guitar player EVER!!!! I saw him live in early 1969.......he's the #1 greatest....different genre from SRV, who was playing Texas Blues, while Jimmy was psychedelia.........#'s two through five (no particular order) are Eric Clapton SRV, Jimmy Page, and David Gilmour

SVR's version is but a copy of the great Hendrix. Like SRV, but Hendrix broke through, he created new sounds. This is his song.

"Chile" is correct. But most people call it child

Baby girl honey child, you gotta do Machine Gun from band of gypsys if you want to be properly blown away ;) jimi has no equal.

wow - you got to the goat = you said you have never listened to any of his music - yes you have - most of the srv stuff you listened to were hendrix songs = FASTEN YOUR SEATBELT - now lets start the video

Jimi may have opened the door musically but Stevie blew it off the hinges. Just my opinion.

Free-form experimentation, live. SRV perfected this sound, but Jimi invented it, and he sounds great here. I do miss SRV's backing band Double Trouble, esp. that rock-steady drummer. This guy feels he needs frantic rolls every measure. Not a lot of groove. Anyway, I wish there was more Hendrix on YT; he's in danger of being forgotten by all except guitar players.

Yes! Jimi!!!!

So when u see Jimi you realize were SRV got it from 🤣

Jimi wrote them both their on the electric ladyland album

I can give you classic bands to react instead of today's music if you want ? 🎸🤙

He is so good that i cried.

EL N 1

Same song for both musicians.

You NEED TO WATCH MORE , YOU"ll KNOW WHY HE's the GOAT , and WHY STEVIE PLAYS the WAY HE DID and WHY WE SAY STEVIE IS A GOAT HIMSELF!! JIMI STARTED IT ALL and EVERYONE ELSE FOLLOWED!! 😍🐐🎸🔥😁🤯🤪😍🐐🎸🔥😁🤯🤪🤔🤔🤔🤔🐐🎸🐐🎸🐐🎸🎸🐐🐐

Jimi....

Want more great guitar, go down the Frank Zappa rabbit hole...San Berdino is cool, muffin man and po-jama people, great solos.

Some are moving, most are STo-Ned... it was Maui Wowie

Although Ive seen this a hundred timews, the camera dorks try my patience..

They didn't show the part where Jimi played with his teeth!

I think Jimi made a pact with the Devil but the Devil screwed Jimi by letting Stevie Ray Vaughan take all the bows for it. The recording of live music comparing the 60s and the 90s was like night and day.

Jimi introduced us to his style of playing. Stevie Ray Vaughan cleaned it up and moved it forward.

One things for sure my friends….there will never be another……how could there be ? Just listen how could there be…the unparalleled, unequalled, unmistakable Mr James Marshall Hendrix.

THE GOAT END OF

It isn't normal, Jimi is an anomaly 🤣

get your dictionary out oye flaca, no te quedes, escucha esta buena musica es un buen consejo!! con todo mi Amor

How are you born in 1970 and not hear of Hendrix?

Most of Jimi's filmed performances were badly filmed, as you hardly got to see him actually play his guitar. Either be mostly head shots, or portions not filmed. He played two 45 minute sets here which were supposed to have been filmed. lnstead, the cameras were switched off most of the time, and when on they didn't film Jimi much at all as you can see. Berkeley is another example of this, two shows were suppose to have been filmed, but only filmed like 20 minutes or so, and with that was bits n pieces of songs, so fuck knows what they were thinking at the time, just ridiculous

It hard to come up with something truly unique that has never been done before.Jimi did and completly re invented electric guitar.Provided the blue print of how rock guitar is played today,truly epic,will never be another.....
