Hi Harri. I've noticed recently you only do reactions that have been suggested through your Patreon. I dont even bother to make suggestions anymore and frankly I'm watching you less and less these days. Only gems like this one will cause me to watch you anymore. Very sad bc I really like you but it's so glaringly obvious that you're not paying attention to the tens of thousands that have supported you by just watching your channel from the start and subscribing. Everytime I click your channel now it's the same thing..."this was requested by my Patreon so and so". It just feels like a 'Let them eat cake' kind of thing. Just being honest. Sorry.

Berkeley Community theater 1970. Jimi is the MAN! Billy Cox on bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums. ✌🎸🔥

greatest guitarist of all time. R.I.P JIMI.

The most human tone on the guitar. He was way ahead of his time. He destroyed rock and roll, then put it back together. Took blues into the space age.

Saw him from the second row in the Old Atlanta Auditorium and again in Jacksonville Coliseum. Yeah, he's the only one. Thank you, Sir Harri, for never missing the greats.

Jimi was other worldly! Both my mom and dad agreed on one thing even though they hated each other and that was Jimi is the greatest guitarist ever.✌🏻✨

It is surreal to hear an Icon like Jimi Hendrix to be doing a song by another Icon, Chuck Berry. What a fantastic way to show appreciation and respect. Thank you for reacting to this fantastic hard rockin' song. I saw Jimi live when I was just a teen, he was amazing. I have also seen Michael Jackson and Prince live but as impressed as I was with each of these artists I have to say when it comes to having a connection with the audience and making it impossible to think about anything else, Freddie Mercury is the one who cleared the bar for me. I never was able to see Elvis Presley live but I am sure he was right up there with the rest of these guys. Sadly, they are all gone now, so seeing any of them again is not a possibility but I do have my memories to keep my thoughts warm.

I agree Harri. This is the best version of this song I've heard by anyone. And I think the best of the versions done by Hendrix--but maybe I think that because this was the first version I ever heard him do (back in 72). Amazing.

My brother... Get yourself ready to have your ears be blessed by the amazing Jimi Hendrix 😉❤️😎🤘 #NYGenXBikerLady

Thank you Harri for mentioning what it means to be the first at something. And how groundbreaking and tough that really is. I love Stevie Ray Vaughan but I hope all of his fans were listening. Hendrix is still the G.O.A.T.✌️

Harri, Jimi's "Purple Haze" and "Foxy Lady" will blow you away!

Amazing that it is just ten years or so after Chuck's version that everyone watches. Hendrix is from a different Universe. Thanks for this....

This is from the Jimi Plays Berkley film. May 1970 I believe. Chuck had no problems with any of it once the royalties showed up.

I like this better than Chuck Berry's original. This is the first time I've seen this version. Jimi sure did embellish the original a lot.

Jimi was the master of feedback as shown by this clip of him at Berkeley.... the only time I've ever seen him without a mustache

The best johnny b goode ever. I remember 1st seeing film in 1975. At 13 years old.(with head helper) Jimi plays Berkeley.

Our darling Jimi was just struc by lightning too many times is all, heard this dozens of times, makes me cry every time

Great for you to react to him. He is the goat. Chuck Berry was asked one time what he thought of Jimi playing Johnny B.Goode.He said he played the hell out of it. Jimi at the Cafe Au Go Go 1968 is an excellent jam.

Back in about 1975, I was a teenager who had hardly listened to rock, and who had never hear of Jimi Hendrix. I went with a mate to the pictures. I had no idea I was about to become captured by the spirit of Jimi Hendrix. I sat transfixed through a two-hour documentary on Jimi Hendrix featuring footage of his live performances, and my life changed in an instant forever.

And no one has played it as well as that since. He was a once-in-a-100-years guitar genius.

Not just the best version of this song, but one of his best performances ever, period. I've watched this more than any other video out here.

He was the ' GOAT ' .

This is why Jimi is considered the number one guitarist of all time. Mind blowing!

I’m not sure if you have heard or reacted to Jimi doing killing floor live. Brian Jones introduces him. Jimi just burns the place down. Blows my mind every time I hear it.

Jimi died in 1970, but his spirits lives on. I was fortunate to experience him only 10 feet away in a concert in Aarhus, Mainland Denmark in 1967. The moonlanding and my first ride in a Tesla doesnt compare to what an impression he left in me. 😎

Jimi was such a loss to the world when he passed, he was a force of nature that couldn’t and still hasn’t been topped.

He channelled the energy of the universe in its perfect healing form

it's called break neck speed, cause Jimi's gotta Go, Go, Go, Go Jimi Go, Go, Go🤩🤩🤩 Amazing.

Always my favorite guitarist

So sad I never got to experience it live! What he could have created is beyond comprehension. All we can do is love what he did for all of us ✌️❤️

As Jeff Beck has said, when Jimi played a gig it was like a small atom bomb going off.....but in a good way! This has to be that. Chuck Berry who wrote the song said that Jimi quote, 'Played the living crap out of the song.' Yep, sure did! We do not see just before Jimi starts playing this, but he says 'What the hell, let's do a little loose jamming with Johnny B Goode.' Loose jamming?! Strewth! I can tell you, when you saw Jimi and The Experience perform live, you have been Experienced. Howlin' Wolf's Killing Floor was the usual warm up number. WOW! Been there, done that, more than once. Jimi was beyond incredible. He was on another plane and light years ahead of all other guitarists. When Jimi died in 1970 aged 27 I wept. The greatest loss to music of a generation. I often think that Jimi was the original Johnny B Goode. In fact he would sometimes turn up to Olympic Studios with his guitar in a gunny sack! There is a photo that I saw of him doing just that. There was a great deal of footage that was aired on television at the time of his death. But a lot of it I have never seen again. For example his one man stage show at The Hammersmith Odeon, with what appeared to be his Woodstock white strat and outfit, and a small Marshall practice amp, I have never seen since. That was incredible........film footage from high level showing the kids, about four hundred of them, swaying like water below to the music.

An inspired Jimi like he was here, has no equal. Not even close.

You pause at just the right time because my heart rate was far too fast for my age! And I kept holding my breath! LAWD I’d never heard this either!

G.O.A.T.

Last word No one can touch Jimi Ask clapton Ask Townshend Ask Jack Bruce 50 years & no one comes close. No one ever will.. RIP jimi Respect If i don't meet you no more in this world..................

Remember "all along the watchtower" then jimi did it. Wow.!!!

Jimi is my absolute favorite guitarist.

Saw Jimi in Stockholm -69 and -70 The best ever,,

Johnny Winter's 1984 rendition of Johnny B. Goode on youtube is amazing as well.

The Berkeley Community Center in Berkeley California on May 30, 1970. That's where and when this was recorded. So you were right about it sounding like the early 70's! 💯👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾😉

He was a genius on the guitar.

I still get chills at that note he hits in the 2nd solo @ 2:38.

There will only be one Jimi Hendrix Hes the MAN A guitarist guitarist AMEN UK..

I like your channel because your replies to viewers and your honest reactions. God bless.

You should hear the version by a band called Mahogany Rush!

One things for sure my friends….there will never ever be another….how could there be ?

May 18th 1970 Berkeley Ca, Glad you enjoyed it 👍👍

Jimi can make anything sound good! Look what he did for the national anthem! I got some good future requests coming from Jimi!

I can't imagine how there could be a heavier version of this song insane!!!!!!!!!

Sadly most of Jimi’s best stuff is not on KZfaq ~ wherever you have to go to hear them, check Voodoo Chile (part 1), Third Stone from the Sun, 1983 … a merman I will turn to be, Hear My Train a Coming live on the Rainbow Bridge album, Machine Gun live on the Band of Gypsies album

Jimi in electrifying form and totally mesmerising, an unforgettable guitarist and perfpormance. The original 'Voodoo Child' single in 1969 sadly dosen't seem available for listening on uTube, it was a landmark release and still so impressive today.

Excelente reacción, Hendrix siempre será el mejor.

Simply a natural talented genius. A power. I believe that if he had lived to this day, today, even though he would have been almost 80 years old, he would have taught the younger generation.

Hello Harri Rock & Roll 🎸🤘 Jimmy's favourite Guitarist was Terry Kath...from CHICAGO. You've gotta give him a listen, "I'm a man" cover from The Spencer Davis Group..Live in Ca. Is Dope!

HarriBest: de todos los canales made from USA de First React, el tuyo, tu persona es de los que me parecen más intelligent and sensitive. I can apreciate your voice, your calm intelligency in many details. Yo nunca dejo de impresionarme de la inmensa grandeza de ese momento en Berkeley 1970, covering that classic rock'n' roll piece. Enorme, qué fuerza de sonido. Que salvaje era en los inicios de un solo. ¡Como le sonaba de reventona y de bien aquel dia la guitarra! So, what a simple and full DOMINION. He seems to do it so easy. El domina una bestia. Él se complace en hacer gritar a la bestia, y Jimi siente un gran placer. This is LB Writing from 🇪🇸 SouthernWest Spain. Long Live USA! Thanks to USA for Have Giving to the World the Figure, the Best, the Only One >>> JIMI HENDRIX. Thanks to Black People. Jimi FOREVER. 🇺🇸 JIMI THE GREATEST ONE !!

Is he playing a right handed guitar upside down? It certainly appears that way! What an amazing performer! 🌺✌️

I loved & still love Jimmy! We always played some of his tunes at our parties, we had 6’ black light posters of Jimmy, Janis J, The Beatles on our walls to add to the ambience!!🤣 We grew up with such good music & musicins - many who left us way to soon 😢 Thanks again Harri, I think I’ll go & play Purple Haze & 🦊 lady to start my day !💜😻🇨🇦☮️ All due respect to the fantastic Chuck Berry 🎸🎶💜

The Great Jimi Hendrix. Simply the best to ever pick up a guitar. End of story.

Jack Bruce from cream Said of Jimi...he wasn't a Guitar player but a force of NATURE. AMEN RIP Jimi..

At that moment, he was Johnny B Good. Hard to beat this.

Jimmy lit it up. Speaking of which, you should check out his performance of Wild Thing at the Monterrey pops festival. He literally lit it up too.

jimi live at the filmore 1970,machine gun the guitar solo will leave your jaw dropping!!

Can’t believe you never heard this. This was the first Hendrix album I ever got back in 1972 when I was a young lad also, check out blue suede shoes, Loverman, the queen, Sergeant peppers, and of course voodoo child freaking killer.

Jimi Hendrix and Mitch Mitchell what a deadly combo!

Love me some Jimmy..

chuck reacted to Jimi's version and said " Jimi played the hell out of it! ".

Imagine if he were still alive, and how many more hit songs?

HarriBest: Yeah, man. I know you're a very sensitive person. This version of Johnny B.G. it's the best, the most powerful and special ever made. Oh My Gosh, what energy and dominion flows from hands and Jimi's guitar, DESATANDO TODOS LOS CABALLOS SALVAJES Y LOS MAS IMPRESIONANTES GRITOS DEL ROCK 'N' ROLL. This is JM Traffiquest writing from 🇪🇸 SouthernWest Spain. I just was 17 yrs old when Jimi died. LONG LIVE USA !! THANK YOU FOR HAVE GIVING TO THE WORLD A PHENOMENON LIKE JIMI HENDRIX 🇺🇸 !! THANK YOU TO BLACK PEOPLE !! LONG LIVE AMÉRICA !! JIMI HENDRIX FOREVER 🇺🇸 !!

I believe this song was first made available on the "Hendrix in the West" LP. All of the songs on this LP were just phenomenal and yet, this album is hardly known. Jimi was so far advanced ... so far ahead of his time. Thanks for sharing.

He crushed it 👍

Great reaction, Harri. You were hyped up weren't you? Think of your heart 🤒 Great version of this tune but Chuck's is still the best. I saw Jimi several times in the 1960s when he came to the UK. His shows were full on especially when he got his Marshall amps.

Sensational,but he made it look so easy,Noel & Mitch weren't too shabby either!😎😎

An incredible performance by an amazing trio,if you think it sounds like the seventies don't forget Jimi died in 1970,I remember that dark day well

Anyone who likes Chuck’s version better is really not paying attention. And I’ve liked Chuck for 60 years.

Met him at Ted Nugents house. 1970. Rock and Roll children!

IT'S THE BERKELEY UNIVERSITY CONCERT! TRY TO LOOK AT THE COMPLETE PERFORMANCE ! ESPECIALLY PURPLE HAZE, VOODOO CHILD, AND HEAR MY TRAIN A' COMING! IT'S COMING FROM ANOTHER GALAXY! HE WAS IN A REALLY GOOD MOOD AT THAT PERIOD! AND IT'S NOT LONG BEFORE HIS DEATH! THE BAND WAS AT HER TOP LEVEL!

His guitar is still recovering to this day.

Most left-handers are geniuses. He certainly is one.

I don't think anyone has squeezed notes out of a guitar like that ever, the 3rd time he did it in the song it just blows my mind even after all along the watchtower solo and other songs of his this one just blows my mind even more, not many people can express themselves like that..

Clapton once told a story about Hendrix . He said he passed by guitar shop , and happened to spot a left handed strat. So he bought it to give to Hendrix. He went to a club and he saw Hendrix at the other side and Hendrix saw him. He was going to give him that strat. He couldn't give it to him that night. The next day he heard that Jimmy had died , and Clapton was left with the strat he was going to give him .

I was fortunate enough to see him in April, 1969 - I was transfixed the entire concert. I saw a lot of the greats, but seeing Jimi was the highlight.

Thank you, Harri, it's something entirely else again, innit? Floors me, rips me up in pieces without fail. Cheers, mate, I hope we can share more of him, maybe Janie'll buy a clue and let more out. Always enjoy your taste and that of the besties, looking forward to what may come. All the best, ciao, bello. ;>D

Billy Freekin Cox on the bass.

By the way, in the audience at this performance in London. Was, Paul McCartney, Peter townshed, Eric Clapton, mick jagger, to name a few. FYI.

Billy Cox on bass. He's 82 now and still kicking! #Peace!

I bet Chuck loved it. I'm sure someone let him hear it.

BILLY COX ON BASS.. check out band of gypsys & Woodstock..... Isle of wight Should have been with Jimi From the start... A realy nice guy 81 & still rockin the bass Respect

I was waiting on Jimi’s guitar to set fire in the middle of the song.

In my home town in NC there was an old Blues player named Cool John Ferguson who played in similar style to Jimi.You should check him out on youtube.It was almost like seeing Jimi

Although it doesn't have a video you need to check out Midnight from his War Heroes album. Mind blowing what he did on guitar back in the 60's and I will also add I can think of no other guitar player who was as influential and a following as Jimi Hendix. He has been dead 52 years and guitarist still copy and pay homage to him some even during their own shows. Haven't seen that for other guitarist by in large. BTW You show watch Jimi Hendrix movie documentary by Warner Bros and check out Machine Gun. Whew

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Some people don't know was jimi played lead and rhythm guitar. Oh by the way he was singer too.

Left handed players mystify me. Can you imagine how wild this must have sounded back then? Unreal! 🤎

I agree

MERCI

I believe this is from the early 70s Billy Cox is on bass.

Damn, even with his teeth he doesn't lose the rhythm

The holy grail version

you are correct this was 1970 and a few months later he was dead
