RIP Jimi. Died far too young. He had so much more music inside him.

fun fact: Hendrix mainly played right-handed guitars that were turned upside down and restrung for left-hand playing. As in this clip.

Jimi came here from somewhere else and gave us these amazing gifts of music, then he went home.

No one, no one ever played the guitar like Hendrix! King 👑 .....he owned the crown.... FOREVER Playing the guitar with his teeth! OMG! This man was the epitome of talent.

Well I have to admit that you did not let me down with your reaction. I'm 53 years old and I have never heard anything better than listening to jimi

I especially love the emotional way he plays. The random pain in his eyes. He was invested 100%. Jimi would actually sleep with his guitar. They had a relationship. The guitar was an extension of him. I mean this in the most respectful way. They were one. Please try Purple Haze and Foxy Lady! Happy Listening!

can’t go wrong with pretty much any hendrix song

In a separate reaction you did to Creedence Clearwater Revival's song Fortunate Son, you talked about your military service. First and foremost, I am glad you are still here with us and able to talk about that experience. You may already know this, but Jimi Hendrix served in the Army and was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division, where he was stationed in Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Thank you for your service and dedication, Sir.

The coolest cat to ever grace this earth. JIMI HENDRIX.

I like how you appreciate the story told in the song. Don't even need to mention the guitar. I literally tear up thinking about Jimi dying so young.

He was too much for this world. Magical!

There are no artists the likes of him these days. Iconic , one of a kind, raw talent, brazen, bold as love, and of course left handed. And I think a very sweet voice. "Hey Joe" is an old blues song. But don't ask me how old cuz I don't know. My two faves are "Little Wing"and "Voodoo Chile". Both masterfully covered in so many ways by the late great Stevie Ray Vaughan, who was a great admirer of Jimi. SRV was gifted, I hear, with Jimi's wah pedal, by Jimi's father. I like to believe that Jimi was standing by Stevie as he used it. What a sight that would've been! Why do these incredible talents leave so soon? RIP you guys. Love you both forever. 💙☮️ to all

"You end up head butting a bullet". That's poetic. I love this channel.

"The crowd is bland, but that was A+", LOL... that's the story of Jimi's life, brother. Much love!

I really appreciate how you express yourself with the songs you never heard.

Oh man jimi brings me back to somolia! I used to listen to him on every patrol in Mogadishu. Hey joe was my anthem but my favorite jimi song is little wing! Holy shit those riffs

That's why Jimi became the standard that other guitarists have been measured. The Experience were great too, they could hang with Jimi on every song

All those stone-faced British kids were stunned, didn't know what to think LOL I heard that after their polite applause they lined up by the stage door to express their real appreciation.

Loved your reaction when he started playing with his teeth, had to rewind😂👌

thank you for reacting to Jimi Hendrix. We hold Jimi very close to our hearts. Some, including myself feel that Jimi was the father of "Hard-Rock". I think he was misunderstood back in the 60's but, there are a lot of "Famous Rockers" that credit Jimi Hendrix as the reason they started playing in the first place.

The opening snare shots on this track are one of the greatest sounds in rock history.

Legend that is Jimmy Hendrix, playing the guitar upside down

Jimi, a left-handed guitarist playing on a right-handed guitar upside down, too cool dude! Jimi will always be the G.O.A.T!

Great memories and thanks for bringing this one up. We all sat in the basement listening to this when it first came out. Bought the album and still listen to it now! Vet 76-90 navy. Thanks

My favorite Hendrix song,, gotta check out Stevie Ray Vaughan doing Hendrix's song Voodoo child live from Austin city limits 1989 💯🔥

This was in Sweden, these kids had never seen or heard anything so powerful and different, I'm sure they were all awe struck, but they applauded heartily. Jimi Hendrix blew everybody's mind, check out Jimi at Monterey in 1967, it was his first American concert with his own English band.

I used to visit with his sister in Seattle in the early eighties when I'd shop at a clothing store where she worked. My Jimi connection!

Brilliant reaction Abra. "Scuse me while i kiss the sky ..." Never be another Jimi. Born in the US and made in England ...

I grew up with this kind of music! It was awesome.

Jimi had so much talent, he wasn't fully appreciated, was used and abused by the music industry and people around him and just couldn't come out of it. So his music helped with the pain of what he was going through. He could have done better had he been more learned of people, but his Talent was great, and his concert absolutely fantastic. They are all gone now in the band. Glad you enjoyed his music. Take care , stay safe, and God Bless.

Another great jazz drummer playing in a rock n roll band....Sabbath, zeppelin, The Who...they all stand out! Manic depression by Hendrix was always a favorite of mine. Also, Hendrix is part of the 27 club. Just like Morrison from the doors, Bryan Jones from the stones, Janis Joplin, Amy winehouse, Kurt cobain of nirvana, etc... Listen to Janis Joplin’s take another piece of my heart

Say-hay... one thing interesting thing that most people don’t realize. That audience is from the early 60’s generation.(like me) that we’re exposed to the “Beach Boys”, “Chubby Checker”, “Mammas and Papas”, and similar music. Look the way they dressed! Looks like they just walked out of Dick Clark’s “American Bandstand” show. Jimi was almost unknown to them and his talent was a shock to most of them. They applauded for his performance but still couldn’t grasp all that they were hearing. It didn’t take long for them to turn on, tune in, and appreciate his talent, and really get to embrace his spirit as he spoke to us through that Stratocaster. Love your input to your new rabbit hole.

Jimi is my favorite guitarist; saw him live when I was 14. He didn't write Hey Joe but covers it amazingly good. His albums Axis Bold As Love and Electric Ladyland are his best, imo. Hope you check them out.

Jimi Hendrix was sooo far ahead of his time and every guitarist in the world then and now have all learned from the GOAT of the guitar. Mr. James Marshall Hendrix. He makes playing the guitar look like it ain't no big thing. Maybe he was a guitar Savant? The first time he picked up a guitar he just knew what to do with it and through it. Nobody can teach you to play the way he did. He spoke to his guitar and through it too. And it spoke to him and through him as well. He and his guitar were one in the same.

Check out "castles made of sand" and "The wind cries Mary".

The bass and drummer are two English musicians who together with Jimi were known as The Jimi Hendrix Experience. The concert was in England in the late 1960s hence most of the audience is rather reserved! BTW a bass player, Chad Chandler, who with the north of England band The Animals, "discovered" Jimi in the States; brought him to London, became Jimi's manager, found him a great bass man and drummer...and the rest is history as they say.

This is why we needed Jimi. RIP.

that's what a man can do when he's brilliant -- and keeps a guitar strapped around his shoulders 12 hours a day. Word.

Loved this reaction. Much love

He was a GENIUS!

drummer and bass player are no slouch either, what a band.

ya nailed it brother..........Jimi is forever! huge part of the soundtrack to my life.

I'm supposed to be preparing for an interview, But i fell into a rabbit hole of your videos. Great taste in music mate.

Check out "Are You Experienced?" The roots of hip-hop start here back in 1967! Jimi was so far ahead of his time, he left it completely.

One of the greatest artists that ever was. Only the good die young.

Jimi was a genius and the most stylish man I have ever seen.

Thanks for this one! RIP Jimi, too talented, and beautiful a soul for this word.

THE MAN!! People will be talking about him 100-200 years from now. Incredible. Hearing the album ‘Electric Ladyland’ was life-altering (of course the acid probably helped 😬). I still think it’s one of the most innovative albums ever

Probably the greatest guitarist ever- great job!

LEGEND!!!!! Dude was amazing. Check him out in Woodstock. Speechless whenever I hear him and I got all his stuff. Sad story but told in the music as only he could. Gotta get me that purple shirt u wearing. Ordering later. Peace n Kisses.

The crowd looked stunned. ..

This is a master class on guitar showmanship.

“that’s the story of life”.....mmmmm yes sir

The audience had never experienced anything like that. They were all looking around at each other confused. This was heavy for the times.

the crowd had NO clue what they were experiencing !

greatest guitarist ever walk this earth.

Great voiceover m8 - beautiful!

I subscribed brother - your awesome- God bless you!!

Castles made of sand!!! 10/10 cry every time

I couldn't resist...cheers!

Sings while chewing gum too..the GOAT

I regret that I only got to see Jimi twice, 1968 Lewiston Maine and New Years day 1970 Fillmore East.

Great reaction and the crowd wasn't exactly sure what they just witnessed. They saw the greatest or one of the greatest guitar players in history. It's hard to say one person is the greatest, but I like to give it to Jimi when I listen to Hendrix, SRV when I listen to Stevie Ray, and Clapton when I listen to Eric.

Well said!! It is Dark but delivered by a Master. Insightful comment on being in or putting someone in that situation where they feel extrem measurements must be taken. So sad but so human...

i respect this channel because = true, tnks from brazil u have a fan , hendrix =god, the great artist all time in all genres of art

One of my rock n roll wishes would be to get to see Hendrix and Prince play together. Can you even imagine? Dear God.

Magick. Will give you what you need.

Coolest guy to grace this earth Jimi fucking Hendrix

Jimi changed everything. rock music changed direction because of him.

Jimi was the best PERIOD

Robert Plant, singer of Led Zeppelin was asked in an interview what song he didn't write, but wishes he did, he said without hesitating "Hey Joe"

OH forgot to say. Only video I ever saw on youtube with ZERO dislikes. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always loved Jimmy-

Hendrix wasn't the original writer for 'Hey Joe', but he certainly made it his own.

Jimi the great innovator and dig Mitch Mitchel tearing it up on drums !

Jimmy can make sounds come out of that one guitar that guitarist nowadays need all kinds of electronics to make, he was one hell of a Genius guitar player

Jimi was a true artist, a rarity. He never played or sang anything the same way twice.

Love that your background is nature ❤️❤️

He is in real incredible .

Stevie Ray Vaughn "Voodoo child" plays homage to Jimmy..watch it live. Watch Stevie incredible, he and Jimmy are masters at their craft

Hendrix was such a virtuoso on guitar that unfortunately I think people overlook his talent as a songwriter and vocalist... He wrote some Incredible songs, he was the complete package. It’s one of rock’s biggest tragedies that we lost him at the age of 27.

I watch out for a lot of Jimi reactions. No one does Little wing, Castles made of sand, Bold as love, Manic Depression, I don’t live today, love or confusion, machine gun. I believe any or most of those would get a lot of views

AIRBORNE ASSAULT TO GUITAR GOD, Who doesn't love Jimi!!!

Jimi always displays wizardry in his playing

Welcome to Jimmy's world the music explosion of the 60s

I'm quite surprised when I teach guitar that many black people have no idea who Jimi is, what he looks like, and what he accomplished. Now it's not surprising to me but videos like this, Jimi's legacy lives on forever.

bass guitar and drums.. classic 3 man band

A lot of times these audiences of young people from that era who had chill reactions, they may have been told by producers to be chill and respectful so people filming could get their shot, or, they literally haven’t seen or heard anything like this before and didn’t know how to react.

no one will ever come close too him he did his own thing had his own sound some will get close but never get it

THE GOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Humble man

Jimi Hendrix was also immensely creative ... And for me the vocal delivery is just as important ... Go easy on the crowd ... This was England.. in a time appreciation was shown in a different manner... The crowd are quiet and listened... and then clapped.... It was respectful.... You noticed the whole crowd are white !... Jimmy had to come to the UK to get the correct support and promotion and appreciation.... At the time this was not mainstream music.. and the people at these concerts were probably from the cool blues jazz scene... But yes what a loss ... We can only dream of what his future music would have been 😞 ✌️🇬🇧

Jimi!

This is my favorite song so don't let me down

Unfortunately his family won't give his music to public domain. I used to have many of Jimi's songs saved to my page but his family took them all down 😢 We lost one of the GOAT the day his life on this side of the veil ended.

he's also playing a right handed guitar with his left hand and it's upside down and restrung

ZZtop Waiting on a Bus/Jesus just left Chicago and La Grange, right up your feels

Jimi was too advanced for the crowed. Who in music history has had such a short career and yet has given us so much? Abracadabra, as great as this song is, do the studio version of, third stone from the sun, Are you experienced, Foxy Lady, Voodoo Chile (slight return), dam I can go on. Jimi was so special.

"Hey Joe" was written by a white Folk guitarist, Billy Roberts, in 1962. Jimi's version, first released in London, England in 1966, is a cover of the Billy Roberts' original. You can hear Billy play the song on his Folk acoustic guitar here youtube: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/huCZnLGrq72-n5s.html.

If you're telling me you've never seen this footage of Jimi Hendrix you're either lying, or you've been drunk all your life. . This is what legend is made of.
