Jimi did this song at the time the Vietnam war was raging. The story seems to be Joe (a common name for soldiers) returned from Vietnam and found his woman messing around (even though the original song is much older). The lyrics is a dialog between Jimi and Joe where Jimi plays both roles. Yes, the playing with his teeth and behind his head is amazing but what's more fascinating to me is that he doesn't miss a note doing it. Even though this was way back in the 1960's, this is a live show with studio sound quality. Impressive.

You got it almost right - the singer isn't the one whose lady was cheating. "'Hey Joe' was written by a singer named Billy Roberts in the early '60s. The song is structured as a conversation between two men, with "Joe" explaining to the other that he caught his woman cheating and plans to kill her" - Songfacts.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how the Hendrix virus that plagues us all to this day was spawned. It's finger-licking fantastic.

Unfortunately one of the '27 Club'. A LEGEND. Played the guitar left handed. Look up info on his guitar skills. He was also at Woodstock.

You need to watch his complete performance at Monterey Pop (this concert). He sets the guitar on fire and smashes it. Members of the audience were shocked and didn’t know quite what to make of him. Lol.

The life changing moment at this Montery Pop Festival was Jimi Hendrix doing "Wild Thing". Now, this was a great version of this song, but "Wild Thing" will blow your minds.

About his Monerey performance: He arrived as a rumor, and left as a legend. You should watch his Monterey performance of "Like a Rolling Stone". You won't think to interrupt it for dumb comments.

Jimi is the GOAT, everyone after him only copying Jimi. Outside of that theater, new and rising phenoms like Tina S. And Alip fingers are amazing, but still not the whole entertainer package. Jimi Hendrix was the whole package. The GOAT PERIOD

I saw Jimi play live several times and believe me, everything he did was real! Every Rock guitarist since 1970 has been influenced by him. By the way, at the end of this concert he burned his guitar, smashed it to pieces and tossed it to the crowd!

Guys, he really was playing the guitar with his mouth 😁

Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Prince...so many super-talented artists who died with mysterious controversy..

The song Hey Joe was covered by numerous groups in the 1960's including The Jimi Hendrix Experience. The Hendrix studio version is the most well known. This performance at The Monterey Pop Festival made Hendrix a star here in the US at the age of 24 after first bursting on the scene in the UK.

Welcome to the 60’s.....

The Great Jimi Hendrix boys

love his smile after that solo

He made love to his guitar and they had many guitar god children together. Nearly every amazing guitarist you've ever heard since then descended from him.

I'm rediscovering him with these reaction videos. I was 14 when I first heard about him, he played in California, I probably just missed him, too young to go to a university concert. I had a dream about him. It was more like a short vision, very real, i remember it to this day, . I was 16 when he died. It was tragic to lose a huge talent. Janis joplin and otis redding died around the same time as Jimi.

Im related to Jimi Hendrix through Cherokee Indian mixed blood totally awesome

Geunius 👍

Jimmy Hendrix Died like many Fantastic legends at the age 27. Along with Jim Morrison of the Doors. The Great Janis Joplin. All at 27 years old. Thank God for Movies such as Woodstock (1969). It has kept they're brilliance alive.

He was only about 24 here. He only lived to be 27.

That's why Little Richard fired him as his backup guitarist. Hendrix kept upstaging him.

I'm afraid Jimi joined the 27 club. I can only imagine what kind of music he would have laid on this world if he had stayed longer.

I Love Jimi

This is not a Jimi Hendrix written song, but a cover. The Watchtower was a cover of a Bob Dylan song too. You are witnessing GUITAR GOD!!!! Jimi is the G.O.A.T. Jimi could play the guitar with his teeth, over his head, behind his back, and between his legs effortlessly. Note too that what you are looking at is a right handed strat turned upside down and strung to play left hand, which means that all the stringing arrangement is reversed too. Jimi could play right and left handed, but preferred left handed playing. SRV, Prince and all the rest were simply his disciples, copying what he had done years before. Unique, talented, gifted, innovative, creative genius. That was Jimi Hendrix. How do I know? Seen him more than once live. Jimi died aged 27 in 1970, so here he would be around 24 or 25. Violence? That was usually The Who's forte, but at Monterey Jimi set fire to his guitar on stage, then smashed it up and threw it into the audience. Frank Zappa recovered all the parts, and had them all put back together. Dweezil Zappa, Franks son, now owns the guitar. That was not the first time either that Jimi set fire to his guitar. He did it at a gig on stage in London and swung the burning guitar over his head and nearly set fire to the stage curtains! That guitar was recently discovered in the back of an old garage in London, still charred up from the burning, and auctioned at Christies for a monumental sum. Note that Jimi did not use any particularly fancy guitars. The guitars he used were all standard strats, but adapted to the way he liked to play them. Note how you always hear that sparkling brilliance when Jimi plays. That's because he was always very selective about the strings he used, and in some cases he would slacken them so that other people could not replicate his sound, in fact in some cases so much that the guitar went completely out of tune. At one gig he actually requested Eric Clapton to come up on stage to tune one of his guitars. Unique, talented, gifted, innovative, creative genius. This was Jimi Hendrix. Nobody could touch him then musically, and nobody has since his death. The greatest monumental single loss to music of a generation. When he died I wept.

Unfortunately Jimi Hendrix died at the age of 27 years old.

They cut it but you can google Jimi sets guitar on fire to see the next bit, la' Cheers

Check out Jimi's version of the Star Spangled Banner from Woodstock! He was amazing.

Monterey Pop Festival was his first US appearance and with it he change Rock & Roll history. Actually the whole festival changed R&R history. (You lads should watch it and the Woodstock film). Jimi died of a heroin overdose at age 27. Legend has it Jimi was tripping balls on some very fine acid during this performance and yet he played, sang and chewed gum all at same time! (lol) Rock On!

With you guys I learne a accent I never knew... and I am Dutch.. love you guys, you are genuine and beautiful people...

Wish I could understand what they’re mumbling.

We lost Jimmy at 27 years old

i like your site guys.. I'm seeing some funny comments but I like how you appreciate my old music! Get it! Love from California!

Jimi Hendrix did not originally write the song hey Joe, it was originally written by another blues artist (can’t remember the name) but Hendrix put his own spin on it. A lot of blues music is either rooted in either a sad or dark and twisted place, this song being the latter, although not everything in life comes up roses. That’s what I love about art, you can color it any way you’d like.

Two 5 year olds not understanding one of the greatest pieces of music ever performed.

🐐

Died at age 27. Drug overdose

Great choice!! Try some Stevie Ray Vaughan and Lenny Kravitz

Died in 1970 at the age of 27.

Love you guys! Try out Swedish band Fleshquartet. Dancin madly backwards. Electrified Symphony members, punk rock singer( softer Here(, and a rap part!

Ya'll got the lyrics kinda wrong

Hendrix covered this song, it was written by someone else and sang originally by someone else, it’s just a story but could be based on real life, he was about 25 and died at 27, Hendrix is all about the music and performance, I would drop the singing thou, this guy was a musical genius and has to be respected when your talking about him, but anyhow good one guys 👍

A for effort.

what language is that?

Check out his performance of Wild Thing from the same show. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/epp8odN1z5iYmH0.html

The accents are phony. Yes -- you can believe your eyes: he really did play it with his teeth. He also played it behind his head, and between his legs.

Dudes he overdosed at 27

"Hey Joe" is "about" the singer talking to "Joe" about what he did. You REALLY should listen to the WHOLE song -- instead of wasting time dumbly trying to "figure it out". It was originally a folk song written by Tim Buckley.

Jimi's dead.
