I was at this concert. I was 17 years old and somewhere in the audience. People were sitting around because this was an all day festival with lots of bands. Very hot also.

I don't care what anyone says he was and will always be the most talented guitarist this planet ever had to offer.

He wasn’t just a musician. He was the embodiment of freedom of expression, and a master showman.

I've never understood how one person can so effortlessly make an instrument to that. He always plays like he's just gliding his hand over the guitar.

"When the Power of Love overcomes the Love of Power the world will know peace." Jimi Hendrix

Everything about him is iconic. He’s voice, his song writing, his playing and fashion style....Jimi rules!

🎸June 2024, 🎸 75 yr old white lady sitting here listening to some music wearing a t-shirt with non other than Jimi Hendrix’s face on the front. 🎸He was magic 🎸

The greatest guitar player planet earth has ever seen!! R.I.P. to the late great James Marshall Hendrix! Gone but never forgotten! We love you Jimi!

I once heard someone say, “Jimi Hendrix never died Heaven was just part of his tour.”

Can we all take a moment to talk about what a beast that drummer is?

It’s unreal when you think of all the rock guitarists that have come and gone, all with their own unique styles and special talents and yet none of them have quite gotten to the level of this man in stage.

Listened to Jimmy quite often during my 20's; just electric. Well, I am in my 70's now and he still amazes me !!!

This performance is 50 years old now. He set the standard for what electric guitar is and should be. This is why we keep coming back to him 50 years later.

I was so very fortunate to see him in May, 1970.

Bro he just throws that guitar around and still it be sounding flawless…when he ran his elbow down the strings I was done for man

3:23 I love that moment where you get to see his personality and sense of humor come out.

holy shit jimi was fashionable as fuck

The master of the statocaster. What a great video of a rare performance. He was gone before the music world knew what they had. Rest In Peace Jimi. You were awesome!

As a Boomer, I recall hearing “Are you Experienced,” “Fresh Cream,” and “the Doors” around the same time in 1967. Weed was just starting to become more available. I spent hours with headphones plugged into my stereo listening to them. I believe I spent most of my time with Hendrix; though I loved them all, what a time to be a teenager.😊

No matter how many of his videos I watch....he still blows my mind.

You know its good when you see 18 different languages in the comment section

True story-Jimi's first "guitar" was a beat-up ukulele with one string that he found in a pile of trash at the age of 14 and to think that it progressed to the greatest of all-time just blows my mind

Please like if you are here in 2024, R.I.P Jimi ❤

I was just teenager, 1967, listening to Jimmy Hendrix. The best years of my life. He was the most intelligent person in my life.

Dude had impeccable timing with rhythm and lead, a downright sexy voice, a gripping stage presence, and timeless fashion. He earned his legacy.

Hendrix for me is The Messiah of music. Everybody aspires to be him and yet nobody can replicate the godlike guitar skills and musical composition which seems to tap into abstract realms. There will never be another musician like him. Besides his guitar, his musical talent was full spectrum - his composition, lyrics, vocals and stage presence were out of this world. And behind that talent lies a very down to earth, sometimes withdrawn, person who people just wanted to be around and associate with.

You know how some people can do things like ride a skateboard or dribble a basketball and it just looks entirely natural? Like they have a perfect mastery over the thing they're wielding? Jimi Hendrix was a natural at the guitar. There's not a single shred of doubt in any of his playing. It's the full force of mastery and confidence.

It is almost 2024 and we are still thrilled by Jimmy’s music- how good you want to have it??? Love you forever ❤

His wardrobe is something else, every outfit of his is killing the game just like he is. Legend.

Mitch Mitchell is absolutely killing it on drums!

When I first hear this song, I could not believe what I was hearing. Have never heard anything like it before or since. He's simply the best ever. No one will ever come close. Sure wish I could have seen him perform but I was too young.

man, every guitarist dreams of being a little like Jimmy, no matter the era

Today is his 77th birthday, rest in piece legend and happy birthday

1. This man was talented 2. He played guitar moves that were so complicated, but still he acted so fluently about it 3. Was polite and humble 4. Regarded as the best guitar player of all time to some 5. Taught himself how to play All this but still there are many people who don't know about him

I loved Jimi Hendrix since I heard his first song saw him 3 times in concert still have my first album if you never saw him live you can only imagine how great he was amazing

This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard

The greatest guitarist that the world has ever seen. Just imagine what we would have heard if he had lived. RIP Jimi.

that guitar asked for a cigarette after jimmy was done with it

There will never be another Jimi Hendrix! So unique and bold; one of the greatest guitar players of all time!

Hearing this atemporal genius in 2024. Sad how he passed away so young, can't imagine how much more masterpieces would come from his hands.

Jimi Hendrix was way ahead of his time as his music still sounds fresh today, especially his live performances. This guy was and is about as untouchable as one could ever hope to be as a musician and an innovator. Amazing talent, and also Mitch Mitchell on the drums too, pretty much invented hard/heavy rock drumming and his playing also still sounds fresh today just as Jimi's does.

RIP the three members of The Jimi Hendrix Experience Jimi Hendrix (November 27, 1942 - September 18, 1970), aged 27 Noel Redding (December 25, 1945 - May 11, 2003), aged 57 Mitch Mitchell (July 9, 1946 - November 12, 2008), aged 62 You will be remembered as legends.

"Foxey Lady" one of my all time favorites and still is today. Jimi Hendrix was a masterful showman and performer too.

What a legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix was. He had a talented band too. Love his music. 🎶 🎸 🥁

Jimi didn’t need a rhythm guitarist, as he did rhythm, lead and sang. That’s impressive as hell!!

Jimi literally played foxy lady for 45 minutes. No exaggeration. Then lit his guitar on fire and banged it up on stage. That is for real.

Apparently Jimi was one of the rare singers that had "perfect pitch" - i.e. you can rarely sing out of tune. Same as his guitar playing.......no matter how wild it got - he had the ear for music..........along with total belief and spirit.

Jimi Hendrix is a perfect example of the immortality and power of music

Jimmy Hendrix wasn't a guitarist, he was a force of the nature like a 5th element

45 years ago we lost you jimi.. sad day indeed. r.i.p rock on.

That kid Mitch Mitchell was very talented. It was always a bit of a mystery how those two "power trios" - Cream, and Hendrix Experience - managed to fill so much space. Their exceptional drummers were an important part of the answer.

❤only 11 years old. Wish I couls have been there! Love Jimi❤

For those of us old enough and lucky enough to have seen Jimi live in the late 60's these videos and even out-takes from his studio stuff are a reminder of how uniquely talented, creative and electric he was. Even if you saw Jimi as a lil punk 16 year old kid, you knew RIGHT THEN IN THAT MOMENT you were witnessing something you would not see again as long as you lived. Pure Magic.

I was there by the stage wearing flowers in my Afro gigging to Foxy Lady, and I was at Woodstock sliding in the mud having fun with the Hippies. That was indeed a trippy scene in my dreams. Lol 🌻 ✌ ❤ I promise when I visit home in Seattle I will visit your memorial Jimi Hendrix. 💋

I believe Jimi Hendrix is still the best guitarist ever . Fricking amazing . My opinion anyway .

Greatest guitarist of all time! Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray, Prince and the rest learned from this guy! His fingers are extremely long which makes for a strong commanding player so he can eat the guitar put the guitar behind his back. He was phenomenal when I was 14 in 1968! Still love his music! Stunned how far ahead of his time he was.

Happy birthday Jimi! Hard to believe he would be 73 years old today if he had not died. The legend continues however!

Could you imagine the first time Jimi came up with this riff and his band heard it for the first time? There was nothing like it before ever and still is one if the greatest riffs to open a song in music history.

I think jimi Influenced and continues to influence literally millions and millions of people, and not just guitarists either. He had it all. style, presence, humility, genius, handsome, affable, he had it all man.

Jimi Hendrix war ein genialer Sänger und Gitarrist

Man, if they ever invent a time machine.......

I never get tired of listening to Jimi play guitar and I'm 70. Always impressed with how comfortable he was with a guitar in his hands, like he was born to play.

the king of eletric guitar! Jimi is the best ever and always be!

Hendrix was an author of the guitar and his vision, and the book he wrote was in a language that nobody will ever be able to rewrite. We are all miracles.

I am thankful everyday for youtube that I get to watch videos like this whenever and where ever I want. Not all technology is bad. Could that crowd be any worse? Holy god.

Nobody has ever had the talent of Jimi so young... It remains the greatest guitarist of all time!

Simply one of the best musicians of all time! Guitar Hero.

I'm 15 and just now discovering this man and may I say his music his personality is everything I love it I love every expression he makes when he plays. This is honestly better than the music my generation is playing.

Here for Dad who passed on 12 years ago today. He was in a band himself in his youth and he always admired Hendrix. Every year I like to have a good old Jimi session to mark the day and remember. Rest in Power Jimi and my father, John x

'I guess you guys aren't ready for that, yet. But your kids are gonna love it.' :)

Jimmy was a music legend. No one will ever duplicate that kind of playing and singing.

THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME AND THERE IS NO DISCUSSION ABOUT IT.

No one ever has, nor ever will play the guitar like hendrix.

For the kids: Jimi plays a right handed guitar turned upside down because left handed guitars were so hard to find at the time.

In three short years (plus a year in the UK, 1966) the man became a legend that is still remembered well today and has new legions of fans who weren't around during his lifetime.

Shucks… Jimi Hendrix .. the fucking greatest of all time no question no one performs this great. Once in a lifetime for sure man this shit brings me to tears Hendrix is the baddest

how is he doing all that shit with the guitar...its insane

Jimi was just a gift sent from another universe, to show us just what could be done with a Stratocaster and two pedals. No dozens of electronic, just the strength of his hands and fingers, twisting and bending the guitar. He doesn't even need to pick most of the time, just the fingering produces all the sounds and when he picks it is usually a background of the lead being played by his hands. So many guitar players have spent a lot of time learning how to copy one of Jimi's songs, but none of them can just stand on stage and create it the way that he did, behind his head, with his teeth, pressing against the mic stand, or against his amps so hard that they had to have someone behind them so that he did not knock over the stack. What an amazing gift, for far too short a time, but at least we have audio and video like this to see just how the magic was produced. Thank you Jimi.

I’ve been playing 20 years now I can play pretty good I’ve seen all the best guitarists online , Hendrix is the one and only GOAT,

My dad showed me Wayne's World and once we got to the scene when Garth is dancing to Foxey Lady, I was dying laughing. I became obsessed with this song so I have been listening to it. I should listen to more of Jimi Hendrix.

Happy birthday Jimi greatest of all time.

imagine being balls deep in an acid trip and Jimi plays this, I'd think god was serenading me

I’ve always loved Jimi Hendrix ! ❤ Really great and very fine artist all over the world. Nobody could stop him. Truth. - jon fisher

Can you imagine watching him live and taking it for granted and 2 years he's gone...just wow!!! Swagger like no one--he was the whole package

Hendrix is untouchable. Nobody comes close. And how lucky was he to have Mitchell and Redding in his band. Heaven sent combo.

So much soul! He's making that guitar shiver. born 30 yrs too late but here I am enjoying his music, his legacy.

If only my mom and dad had _done it_ 10-12 years sooner, I may have been old enough to go to this show. 😄

Hendrix is first metal performer

Watching any Jimi, is like experiencing the big bang. Why? well, he was the first to bring electric guitar into IMMENSE VOLUME and gain. The big bang was the birth of our universe, Jimi Hendrix was the birth of WILD electric blues/ H Metal, Hard Rock, and everything else. When you see him play like this, you are experiencing the first ever stage of everything to come after it....Shred, SRV,, you name it.... We all wish we could of seen the big bang, we are VERY VERY fortunate to experience the godfather of the wild electric guitar. You can all say Clapton, Townsend etc, Page, but None of them combined what it took to make a huge stand like Jimi did.

The fact that this is a live performance is astonishing. It couldn't have sounded any better in the studio.

Blows my mind how incredible these musicians are, especially Jimi and Mitch here (no diss to the bass either). This is as perfect as it gets for me as far as guitar and drums go...

I swear, when Jimi Hendrix plays guitar he doesn't look like he's playing guitar, he's amorphous and flowing and his hand barely touches the stringe, but the sounds he manages to create are mind blowing, this is why he's a good guitarist

The thing that strikes me about Hendrix every time I see a video of him is that the music flowed from him like water from a fire hose. All that aural awesomeness seems effortless.

Jimi was an innovator on the guitar, but Mitch was killing the drums on a quite simple config with two floor toms, while Noel was grounding the whole with solid cool bass riffs. That's why I always enjoy this experience.

Parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️👍 sem Palavras Foi um Excelente Guitarrista e um cantor acima da média.

The way Jimi enunciates “FOXY LADY”🦋 totally “gets to me 🥵!”

Extremely gifted, it's like he has given the guitar a voice.

I can never get over Jimi's power on the guitar. It's as if the guitar was invented solely for Hendrix

Saw hendrix at opera house, fair park, Dallas 2 show afternoon and evening, experience . 100 percent, experience.

This is way off the charts. 70 years later and still nobody can come close to Jimi. Thinking of you a lot more these days. RIP 😢😊
