I am living in La Spezia . North of Italy . Please to meet you .

Awesome story brother

thanks for sharing ! ✌

...wonderful 🐝🌈💫

Luv him still do all his dvd live shows are amazing saw him many times

nice story

Make sure you practice love at least as much as the guitar.

keep doing it bro that’s what i did when covid first hit im still a teen 17 but that’s all it takes practice 8 hours a day jam along with live tracks then start doing it with a band and you’ll be stunned at how bad you were three years before

Bring YOUR music to this generation. Your time is now, Jimis was 60 years ago. You have sounds and words to offer that Jimi can’t today.

@@reevestim676 well I did learn how to play bluesy acoustically like hear my train coming and Leadbelly and Robert Johnson stuff lately

😮😊😂😅

Unreal comment and observation!!! I love it!!! Well said…

No shit? That's incredible! Your comment is 10 years old. That would make you 74. Hope this message finds you well. I bet that night was one hell of an experience! Pun intended.

That must of been an extremely intense night. His playing was particularly charged. Badmouthing Hendrix is the ultimate form of heresy. It usually results in perpetrator missing their teeth.

Facts

Beautifully said...much love❣️✌️

Nancy Grossman You’re an awesome person and a bad ass. I wish I could of done the same thing but I’m so glad someone got to :) amazing

love you stranger lady !

Nothing is worth damaging your hearing.

@@michaelgaskell7408 Michael. If I go back in time just to listen to this set live, and then go deaf after words. I would.

@@stringer01 Hello Mr Churchill, I gave myself tinnitus listening,(far too loud,) to Hendrix using headphones,(severe tinnitus in 2013, I've regretted it ever since.I had good hearing as l birdwatch,and good hearing is essential,not no more l don't.I was stupid,and as I've stated l have regretted it ever since.

It is a helicopter, a rifle, a bomb, a dying child, there was so much in his sound in this piece

It’s a dirge, a lament. I feel like every time he played it it took a little piece him. He gave everything he had to this, his heart and soul and body. What he does at the 9:00 mark sends a shiver up my spine. It’s so intense it feels like a near death experience. Nobody will ever play like that again.

@@charlesrambeau519 agree

They were all Jimi's best prefomaces rock on Jimi and play me the blues.

I've seen a lot of footage of Billy Cox talking of the times he played with Jimi and he only mentioned Berkeley Community Centre as the place that they all clicked and played some unreal music.

​@@morriypoulsen1238and mauii was a bad Show? One of my favorite

But that Berkeley performance of Machine Gun is so clean

+promeitheus Are you sure you're not referring to Fillmore East?

+ørkild haveforening have u heard Berlin version?

I personally don't believe he went around thinking of events like Kent State with any kind of major concern. Have you ever read any of Noel Reading's journals from their touring? Jimi never came out against the war, and didn't like politics at any level. He refused to appear at peace rallies and wouldn't even support the Black Panthers. Just FYI ~ Thnx

But he mentions Kent State in his introductory remarks---it had to have been on his mind to some degree for him to reference it.

I did. Scroll UP?

Count me in. Jimi died four years before I was born.

Bakersfield!? Damn in my yrs it was totally controlled by Buck Owens, he owned all media. 7 yrs not one rock concert into the 90s.. Can't imagine the reaction and reception and the impact of him doing a live appearance in that town.. I've never heard it even mentioned. Unless I've forgotten..

if you're not aware, in Jimi's early career he worked with a band doing something called the "Chiclin Circuit" - I've probably spelled that wrong, I'm not American! Anyway, they did a tonne of touring around random small towns, sometimes multiple shows per night. I'd say Jimi still held onto that idea, that's why he did these smaller towns.

​@@GlennSyndallius Yo: it was called the "Chitlin Circuit". "Chitlins" or more accurately 'Chitterlings"(hog intestines) are/were a very cheap cooked food served in restaurants (particularly in the Southern United States of America) where Black Americans lived and Black musicians passed through. So the "Chitlin Circuit" was the areas that musicians toured usually for little money while working very hard...."paying them dues" is the expression iirc. The South was segregated and Blacks were NOT ALLOWED in certain areas. As far as Hendrix playing small venues: you do realize that he didn't book his own shows; that's the job of his manager. Management then and now will work a performer to death (if they can). Clearly going from one night stands , with gigs being (sometimes) thousands of miles apart is NOT conductive to any person much less a creative artist. Not trying to be argumentative 🤛🏾🗽✌🏼🇺🇸

@@KC______Sounds like you’ve been down that road. If you read about the schedule Jimi had while in London, it’s a wonder he lived as long as he did.

@@tomcoryell It's a wonder that it took as long as it did for him to "take my spirit and smash my mirror" and break free from his 'restraints'. Though not being 'experienced' as he, I can't pass judgement much less condemn the man for his actions.... The LSD and lots and lots of carnal knowledge probably didn't help his state of mind.

Always will be the man...

not a style

facts

peace to you and yours, I knew a lot of cats like you, joined USN in 75 myself

Thank you for your memory and your service. It was an unjust war based on 'the lie" and many were uniformed and looking to lash out. I can only hope time/truth has made them ashamed of their actions. Be well.

lucky man, greetings from Poland

m1larepa yes I was there with 2 of my cousins was in tenth grade gates were rush best time ever, my name is Al Garcia I still play around okc!!! Owl the drummer!!!✌🏾

Great comments on this conversation from both sides of the fence. By the way, Jimi was another son of God.

me too always Hendrix is the Alpha Apex legendary Conqueror the only surf music musician master musician to ever walk the face of God's beloved and beautiful Green Earth 🌎

Same here man,

Wave on wave..... if 6 were 9, Play on Gypsy, play on.... total respect Mr.Smiley!

Couldn't have said it better regarding the Hendrix sound---there's so much depth and feeling--and it has this "higher dimension" quality to it that I've never heard from ANYONE else!!

nyterpfan I agree 100%. Extraordinary!

Those first in our lifetime moments seal's itself into the core of our being, and it has a lifetime affect on us, something no one can steal or destroy, and the impact he left on so so many is truly a gift to cherish, Thanks JIMI, even some 50 years later you still blow our mind's, all Hale the King, 👍🏼👍🏼💜🙏

no

+anado McLauchlin Well maybe to you, but thanks to that kid who brought the tape player! The rest of us might not have heard it!

I was there too ..17 years old

+George Fuller I COULD ALSO LISTEN TO GRAND FUNK RAILROAD FOR HOURS. COOL YOU WERE AT HENDRIX ALSO

+Leslie Goldman Jimis' music/sounds are sublime sonic vibrations from the Creator of the big bang, Peace.

+Keiran Bradley Great post man. He was a musical prophet.

BubbaZen10 You are so right my friend, i can't get enough of Jimis' live work, i have never heard him repeat himself, his skill/gift of improvisation is unparalleled !!, it blows my mind to think that he had only just begun on his musical journey when he was taken away from us, losing Jimi was like losing a musical Library of Congress or the British Museum,in other words he is irreplaceable, he was/is a truly unique one-of-a-kind Artist & Human Being, thank you my friend, Peace.

He repeated his verses, nightly, what are you saying, he was bored?

Leslie Goldman is that ur real pic wow signal me some vibrations.that cat can crawl

indeed bro

Yeh his soul comes out the speakers. Not pop tunes

From imitating the sound of the wind howling past the open doors of paratrooper aircraft. He was fascinated by it.

well, the dude actually was in Vietnam...

5:39

I still reckon the version from the Band of Gypsies is the best version,but this one is a bit more erre.

No one has ever played like Jimi since then and never will, like Slash from Guns N Roses said there are no more Jimi Hendrix's. He was an inspiration to all guitarists, then and now!!! HAIL JIMI HENDRIX!!! WE ALL M ISS YOU!!!

Many guitarists play with their hands. Jimi with his head, heart and soul.

Nailed it!! Yeap !!!

I agree with all of these comments about Jimi--heart and soul above hand-speed. This is the deepest blues I've ever heard. I'm convinced that had he lived he'd have been a major speaker for peace, love, and environmental stuff too. Killer song--equall to the fine performance at Fillmore East with Band of Gypsys, though I do prefer Mitch's drumming in general.

Shredding is horrible soloing is different then mindless shredding.

1970 norman ok ...I was 17 and I was there... since that time I never.stopped listening to hendrix ,, and I worked in jazz and blues radio as an on air broadcaster.for 30.years ... 7 of those years was at kaez 107.7 fm ( black radio ) at 4240 n e 23 in okc ... my shift was midnite to 6 ,,,6 and 7 nite s a week ...after about a year , I was.the only white broadcaster there .. I'd do it all again . George fuller

+Larry Vanhaze SORRY

COOL REAL COOL. I WAS 19.

I can only whish I was there

good experience for the first concert

also on Hey baby (New Rising Sun) (Berkeley gig)

pjc 73 Wow

It's because Jimi was listening to Segovia & being the musical sponge he was absorbed all that beautiful Andalucian modes into his own unique style, there will never be his like again, Peace.

Fire Marshall Bill Thanks my friend, Peace to you too, man, I can't get enough of Jimi live, especially late 68,69 70 , his skills of improvisation are practically impossible but there he is wailing away in his Electric Church !!, can you imagine what a jam would've been like with Jimi & John Coltrane, that would be some Divine Blues, Peace Brother.

Also on Woodstock Improvisation

Nomad13! I saw Jimi Hendrix at Maple Leaf Gardens. Everyone I talked to who was there says the same thing, seeing Jimi Hendrix changed my life. I know it changed mine.

@@johnwattdotca I was in the Greys. Loved it to pieces. Fantastic show. He was busted the day before. Bought are u experienced in London UK summer 1967. Had red House. Played the a thousand times.

@@BobHatcher: Our high school English teacher gave extra marks if you recited or sang your memory work in front of the class. If you did that, she wanted to see a copy of the original to judge what you did. I saw "Are You Experienced" on her desk and looked at it, buying one right away before I heard any of it.No more slot cars for me.

@@johnwattdotca slot cars were fun but Jimi better. Sing in class for marks what a progressive teacher. Bravo.

@@BobHatcher: The two good-looking hippy girls in my class wanted to sing "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" and asked me to play guitar for them. I liked them better than me.

When I saw Jimi he introduced himself as being of Egyptian Nubian ancestry, with a Cherokee grand-mother who walked The Trail of Tears. Uh... that was in 1969.

That's Why I love all of These bootleg recordings. Where Jimi Hendrix and Mitch tales These compositions ., Crosses Jazz fusion so many Times !!! Truly Way ahead of they're Time By light-years !!

Me too. His guitar had me seeing machine gun blasts and fire

Every Able has his Cane as Hendrix had Jefferies, as Lennon had Chapman etc..

Paul Ranallo is so true, and the question of has that situation played a part in the art, as with Picasso being harassed by the Nazis in Paris, and one of his greatest works Gernica jay

That little intro at 0:54 could be some of the best sounds ever made with a guitar

a morphing note!

But, he was the highest payed artist in the world during the few years he toured.

TVI713 Mike Jefferys wasn't listning.

Ben Blakemore That was before the Band Rings or, Oklahoma for sure!! Hope life is the best for you and all the Okies I was priviledged to know and hang with for awhile! So sorry bout Joey and Steve Hardin.. Tell Lenny, Sammy, and everyone I said hey signed Humo

Apparently he had Cherokee blood in him from one of his relatives.

@@jeffallen3382 laffable

Stevie Ray Vaughn

@@asdfghjkldfghjhgcgyuigfyui9792 lol. No.

Buckethead, give it a listen dude is out there

@@marcob6880 bucket head is trash

That's it! Discovery! And that opening!

+Marlon James What people need to remember is, he spent a lot of years mastering equipment and his sound. In those days, no one had such an overwhelming surrounding sound, his univibe, wah, fuzz, tremolo bar, even Octavia, all made this sound way bigger and effective than anyone elses. SO, his playing took advantage of having such a big powerful sound, part of his mystique is definitely his HARDWORK, at creating his tones. Nothing magic here, it is all hard work, by a guy that was better than the rest in this field of music.

+Carat Cranker nice comment. The hard work often gets over shadowed by his unparalleled charisma. But besides the hard work there was something intrinsically unique about the guy and how he related to the world which informed his musicality, something that cannot be taught or learned through hard work. So I agree with your point, but I would not dismiss the element of "magic", in the way that I am defining it anyways. Peace

+Marlon James That's cool, call it magic, that's an overall perception people put on guys that are better in any field. If Jimi was alive today but gave up rock years ago, he would be looking at all these really good shredders going,,, WTF? that's impossible! lol.

+Daniel Mauldin there*
