his an inventor 👍

Best ever

Why?

@@theheadphonea-hole4133, because… he says so 😂

@@Alfa75V6 That's right. You heard him.

@@larryflanagan8799 , i did … and ….. I agree ☝️

Really? He was banned by the BBC? I did not know that...

More like a shooting star.

Comets and shooting stars are from space and our universe while the tall skinny big handed black guitar God was from some beyond plain of the God's working, comets, shooting stars and such are far more common phenomenon, this is a one of a kind universal singularity demonstrated by the God's Hendrix a truly once in a universe's lifetime experience to behold witness to.

Too right mate

like a comet ...comes around again, but not quite the same. Leaving streams of flaming dust for others to enjoy. But make no mistake... Oh, here he is again

2 sat..

If I were watching I would say forget the news, let Jimi play all night!!!

BBC Genome for 4th January 1969 ; BBC 1, 'Happening for Lulu' (the show this footage is from) starts at 6.15 PM and the following show, scheduled for 7PM, is Morecambe and Wise. Granted, an over-run might have cused some problems with continuity but I suspect they got it all back by the time Richard Baker read the news at 10.15.

Nature was a force of Jimi

I've always felt that is the most accurate description of Jimi, the closest to accurately describe his pure essence.

This

I feel fine 😊

yes legit

Better than anything today

@@thebee3909 Yes, Super Bee! 🐝

Agreed

I was just thinking the exact same thing!👍

A very self deprecating man with zero arrogance, how much all those crappers…sorry I mean rappers could learn from him! Imagine being so unaware of how off putting excessive arrogance is, especially when they haven’t got even 2% of Jimi’s talent….what a world we live in hey!! Yeah we all want to know about your gold chains, Mercedes, Rolls Royce while you shake wads of cash around! Can’t think of anyone I’d like less to be in that position….and people with nothing in life cheering these idiots on, sad to see people have no clue what garbage so called music marketing is ramming down their throats, hopefully one day soon it’ll disintegrate but there are a couple of generations that really need a lesson in what talent is….and what it absolutely isn’t!! Rant over 😂

Yes, the intro by the television presenter alluded to- let's hear another pleasant pop tune- and then Hendrix takes everyone's ears out to the rings of Saturn.

👊🤘

It's between this and AC/DC's 1977 BBC session that takes that top spot. Both are totally different styles from each other and are recorded in separate decades of the 20th century, but both of their sets are equally as important as the others because of the pinical role they played towards the success they achieved globally

@@itsgottocomeoutsomehow108 the jimi hendrix experience is better than ac/dc plus this showed jimi giving a finger to the corporate puppets

​@@itsgottocomeoutsomehow108only one of revolutionised the guitar. ACDC simply took what jimi did further, similarly to zeppelin

Guitar Magician, fucking amazing,

Mitch was meant to be with Jimi. They truly were a musical match.

A Noel Redding song

My bad I was thinking she’s so fine

I do to! Seeing that like... touched off something in my emotionally that made me love Jimmi even more than i ever did before... I needed that little smile he threw to Ginger when he realzed just how screwed his STrat was.. lol.. My god... nowadays hed have at least 10 identical strats perfectly tuned and 3 dudes out there making certain he had it in his hands mid-song with no isues and practiced efficiaency...lol. But i love the fact he just instantly gets the thing close enough to keep going... I love his smile and his sweet and kind humility and humanity... made me cry to see him smile like that... i dunknow.. it was special to me.

Brilliant drummer Mitch Mitchell RIP..

@@jamesmoylan2861 He was such a fantastic drummer. His playing is the definition of controlled chaos imo, and the perfect style to compliment the way Jimi played.

Kevinn Sevin kiss my arse

@@shorty1x521 that’s the jazz freestyle influence he was very instrumental ( literally) to jimi success Mitch is top 5 drummer he could hang with the got

Goat

I would 8 years old in Boston, just starting to play the drums.. yes later I would be playing guitar and f****** trying to play Jimi Hendrix.. still trying

14 years old saw him in concert

Same here👍

@@vickitaylor7959 I was 16 and saw him in Wash. DC. in 1968 I think it was. I've never been the same.

Me too!

Yea dude. Culture vultures always.

No Doubt!

Cleaning tapes or destroying posterity's legacies, as was their wont?

When they suggested he went to England. He said “ Do they have marshal amps over there?” ( he thought he had to bring them with him) Meanwhile Jim Marshal pacing up & down waiting to meet him in London! Just a little trivia :)

Lulu's show - well-known (middle-of-the-road) pop-person doing a half-hour on a Saturday tea-time - was a successful tv formula at the time and Jimi had appeared on a similar programme back in 1968 ; the Experience played an early version of Voodoo Chile on Rediffusion's 'It Must be Dusty' . On that show, Jimi accompanied Dusty Springfield (champion of the Ready Steady Go Motown Special, so quietly a bit of a rebel - on top of the, ahem, other things) on a knock-about version of 'Mockingbird' (you can KZfaq the little scrap of footage that survives of that) - so Lulu's people probably thought this would be more of the same. Now, Lulu was married to Bee Gee Maurice Gibb at the time, so she wasn't entirely naive.. But there is the tv image to look after and at the time, light entertainment people were under contract, basically an agreement to appear in whatever's put in front of you - with a definite aspect of being expected to do as you're told. The BBC owned the right to screen the Eurovision Song Contest and after this show, oh look, Lulu is announced as the UK's representative in the Contest for 1969, with all future editions of the 'Happening' show becoming little more a contemporary version of A Song For Europe'.

At 5:54 he makes this face because he was out of tune not because he wanted to do another song but yes later he changes for sunshine of your love

@@ostideciboire4705 Yeah, it was like "Wow, I really stretched that string out".

@@billparker8954 ... all on purpose...

Actually it is at 7:04 when he says that they stop playing "this rubbish".

See Jimi laughing at the floor director at 7:00 because he wasn't going to duet with Lulu; instead he launched into "Sunshine of Your Love".

Right?

Yep... It'll be a long time before anyone out-cools Jimi

meh, theyre ok. just backing guys though. there's not a lot of "locking in" or playing off each other. its the Jimi show.

@@coldacre Mitch mitchell is far from just "ok"

@@coldacre maybe not, but, they were still far tighter than the Cream, who clearly weren’t listening to one another onstage.

@@coldacre You. obviously, don't know much about drumming, or drummers, for that matter. John "Mitch" Mittchell was taught by jazz drummer Jim Marshall (yes, that Jim Marshall) and was recognized as one of the best. I hope you're not a musician, cause, if you are, you're a damn dumb one.

@@coldacre , meeeeeeeh Mitch Mitchel is not just o.k. he did some fantastic playing , you can even hear Jeff Beck raving about Mitchel how well he complimented Hendrix

This is the same type of thing they played at the Bag O' Nails to Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, John Lennon, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page et al.

Agreed. Listening to rock n roll on a pair of ear buds just does not cut it. the best way is with a serious hi fi system. big speakers that can move some air.

@@9999bigb yep. Townsend says he thought about quitting guitar after seeing Hendrix.

Sounds like shit

Thanks for the tip! 👍

For sure!! Most guitarists are horrified if they go out of tune - Jimi just found it funny.

Has a life long Strat player... haha yeah dive bombing on those vintage trem systems is a straight gamble 😄 Jimi just dealt with it like a boss.

I think he achieved more than that, really

He tunes on the go 😂

It’s that voodoo magic

😁

Only SRV raped his strat like hurricane...but Jimi was his biggest inspiration.

LOL!..... It wasn't a tribute it was more of a dedication. A common courtesy made by many professional musicians when playing somebody else's song.

@@wilbertkendal2524 Or only a fraction of it. He played the full song elsewhere. Another comment here says Jimi was being hassled by BBC staff on set during this performance. Probably accounts for his sour attitude during this appearance.

The way Jimi opened sunshine, it was pure monster

We saw it too

Jimi was a wizard

The funny thing is a lot of that feedback was created by simply having the fuzz face and wah on at the same time. When both are on at the same time, and you go heel down on the wah, itll start to squeal, even with the guitar volume all the way down, and as you go further heel down on the wah, that squeal turns into a howl. If you watch closely, you can see he's rocking the wah up and down while doing that bonkers intro. It's caused by the massive impedance mismatch between those 2 pedals.

@@rebeccabailey527 very good point! Still he was a master in controlling both “electronic” and “acoustic” feedbacks. Sounds so good.

I just caught that (after all these years) and laughed out loud.

Good grab!

.

Is this why in white men carnt jump you have to Hear jimmy not listen. i been listening not hearing or i'd heard that beatles lick lol

I noticed that too! He dismisses him playfully.

He even slows down at the end just to wind them up more! Some jobsworth totally unaware they had a musical alchemist in the studio going overtime for 60 seconds who would only be with us for another year or so and they could get back to all their efficiently synchronized cabaret acts for the next 60 years.

No worries 👊

fuck

Heartfelt message thanks. Noel spent time with us shortly before he passed away.

Not even up for debate

Yes that is your shit opinion and you're free to have it

controversial

definitely the most influential, that's not even debatable

Without a doubt, the greatest and most influential! Just think, some kid somewhere in the world is picking up a guitar for the first time because of Jimi, not a bad legacy for someone who was only in the public eye for 4 years.

Is that why he was always out of tune?

@@yourewrongabouteverything even out of tune, he is amazing.

@@yourewrongabouteverything when one plays an old Strat the way he did, especially with the whammy bar, it will always be out of tune no matter who is playing it, your ignorance is on display.

@@jinov191 In fairness, I wouldn't say it's ignorance, Hendrix just had a sloppy dirty sound at the best of times. To suggest that it was all down to his bar would be even more wrong.

​@@mattdelany6799 nah

mstra. Sofia Gubaidulina certainly thinks so

@@janbonsema5888 What does 'mstra' mean? And what is the connection between Sofia Gubaidulina and Jimi Hendrix? (genuinely interested to hear)

@@dayanidhi9391 this person sort of stole my identity. deal with him !

@@dayanidhi9391 I did not write that but would love to hear the answer

"mstra" is short for " Maestra!

I've always wanted to see a show at the Albert Hall.

"Welcome to the stage Mitch Mitchells guitarist..... Jimi Hendrix!" ( RIP legends)

Mitch is criminally underrated. One of the GOATs. Full stop.

I don't really follow very many drummers. But I admit that Mitch Mitchell was the one guy who made me pay close attention to the drummer. His style is solid and very distinct.

And a bassest who can hold the whole thing together 😉...

Absolute monster

Umm...you didn't see him in concert? I saw them perform at Fillmore West.

Jimi never performed in Pittsburgh, my hometown. I was in tenth grade when Hendrix died in September 1970 and would not have been permitted by my parents to travel to see The Experience.

Notice he throws in a Beatles tune first break of _Hey Jo_ as well?

@@dancarter482 at Monterey Pop Festival Jimi threw in Sinatra's "Strangers In The Night" during his "Wild Thing" finale! Too cool!

yhy dfUkDon"t u let me say: "b.b.c." means: "B1g.BL4k.C0k." ?? 😮
