Jimi hendrix was miles ahead of everyone else no one like him, absolute legend.

The Maui footage is nothing short of amazing. The image is crystal clear and looks like this was performed yesterday.

I think everyone who loves Jimi loves SRV, too. Like, how could you not? You see how Jimi’s left handed? And do you see that guitar is upside-down? LEGEND.

When Jimi sings, I just feel it in my soul, such a powerful human

His star spangled banner is epic! Never heard it sung by a guitar before. Its the one from Woodstock. Amazing.

He oozed cool.

Been a Hendrix fan like forever. This is an amazing piece of footage only recently released and the picture quality (and sound) is superb. This is three guys, absolutely 100% live. No backing track or orchestra or overdubs. Just three guys playing live in a windy field. Totally awesome. Can you imagine performers today singing into a mike with a bit of sponge zip tied around it? Actually, scratch that. I don't think zip ties had been invented then. It's probably just a simple bit of wire...

On his albums I wondered, "How did he know what aa spaceship sounds like?" even while it was happening, he was creating the sounds with a guitar... not even a synthesizer... no tape loops on stage... bass, drums... guitar... WoW

Glad you love Our Jimmy. R.I. P. Yes. He did do things TO the guitar that could be considered felonious assault. Guilty of Tongue Lashing 🎸' 😁

Let's give some love to that rhythm section of "Badass" Billy Cox on bass and "Mighty" Mitch Mitchell on drums! The best drums and bass combo a guitar virtuoso like Hendrix could ever ask for!

Gotta hear the original (long, studio version) on Jimi's Electric Ladyland album; called "Voodoo Chile." Slight Return is the shorter one (also on the album). They're not on You Tube. It's worth buying the album, also his Axis Bold As Love album.

Stevie came way after Jimi, he is just imitating the GOD of guitar---------HENDRIX

The whole improvised solo is amazing.

Sounded like something out of a star wars battle scene.... You got Lazer guns..... Space phasers and rocket boosters

STRAIGHT FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In 1966 I was 12 i had a friend Anthony who’s older brother Danny had just bought “are you experienced” LP, he lit up a joint and we all shared it and listened to “are you experienced” life was never the same

That was interplanetary. He still sounds totally futuristic. Thanks for the reaction, Biz.

It's called the sheer force of nature reverberating all through your body ... and there is no denying it cuz it won't be denied!

And to think that there are still hundreds of hours of his incredible music yet to be released to everyone There will be and still are people who deny his first ever style on the guitar as not that impactive but hendrix single handedly changed how the guitar could be played as well as altering rock music forever!

Arguments over who was the greatest guitarist of all time are irrelevant. Jimi was the most EXCITING guitarist who ever lived. That's why he's the best.

Jimi's music helped to form who I am , I feel reverence every time I hear it. He was an artist down to the marrow in his bones.

JIMI is the #GOAT THERES NO ONE LIKE HIM. He’s not from this planet. Best guitar player ever and there’s not even a distant second

Lol. They were all Tripping on Acid. The good old days.

Most beautiful man ever created Look at him Omg I can’t

This set is one of his most amazing sets.

His tones.. always fresh and new to this planet. I witnessed it myself , front row at 14 . Never been the same. This was a mixture of Band of Gypsies ,Billy Cox on bass . The Jimi Hendrix Experience , Mitch Mitchell on drums. Concert was performed in a volcano krator in Hawaii. This was the line up that I experienced.

Legendary

“Foxey Lady” from this same set is Jimi at his most playfully amazing!

Oh man just the constant positive vibes from this and the crowd

Hendrix "Pali gap" The most beautiful, mesmorizing sound, from Rainbow Bridge LP. I have over 50 first press Hendreix, Goldmine Rated NM/EX vinyl. Eat your heart out! But I'm old. You've years to enjoy R 'n R, now bequeathed to you, sir~ Also, check out RAMATAM. April Lawton (a la Hendrix) with former Hendrix drummer, Mitch Mitchell and Mike Pinera (2 great albume) including Lawton's Star Spangled Banner. When I saw them as warm-up band with Ten Years After; after the latter finished, expecting the crowd to call for another encore, instead we all shoulted, RAMATAM, RAMATAM, RAMATAM. Much to the chagrin of their host band; understandably, not invited back. lol. Lawton is among best female guitarists, ever! Little known. Pretty thang, too . . .

Detroit Tiger's closer Joel Zumaya used to enter the game to this music. That, and his 100 MPH fast ball, caused a lot of fear in opponents.

"I stand up next to a mountain , chop it down with the edge of my hand" This is just the best thing ever:)

I bet Jimi had never played to a smaller crowd in his life! This video is the most amazing thing I've seen in years!!!

The best of all time!!!

Jimi is the one n only

Jimi is the man and the only one in music. 'Are You Experienced' says it all. His best song ever and title of his first album. Nobody will play the guitar like Jimi again. He left America, because American's were still backwards. Europe had already embraced Postmodern ideology whereas America doesn't till 1973. I started listening to Jimi at age 11 and barely listened to anything else after that. I wrote about Jimi at school when I was 12 after my brother went to Vietnam in 1970, the year Jimi went to heaven. I miss him hard. 6 is 9 now.

Seeing nothing but truth through his guitar…Nothing but truth…No lies, politics or bullshit…

Jimi Hendrix is a legend, he did inspire many guitarists including Yngwie Malmsteen who grew up watching Jimi and you can see the influence in his live shows. Would love your reaction on "Black Star" Yngwie Malmsteen Live, you'll love it.

Listen to machine gun...band of gypsy's..I promise you will have to take a nap afterwards...

Jimmy and his guitar were one ! WHAAAAAT? He was THE MASTER, Stevie was the protege."Hey Joe" and the Star Spangled Banner" also at woodstock

Loose ends lp amazing blistering guitar especially stars that play with laughing sams dice, cosmic overload 🧐✌️🇬🇧

Jimi Hendrix gave the greatest show to the most thankless crowd ever

you should do Jimi's cover of "All Along The Watchtower", one of the best rock songs ever. Dylan said "Jimi owns it now".

there will never be another

Jim played last at Woodstock. Saved the best for last! We love you, Jimi. RIP ❤

People need to STOP comparing SRV’s version to Jimi’s version of this song. Jimi WROTE it, CREATED it, and FELT it in his SOUL. SRV COPIED it. It’s like when a comedian imitates an actors voice, it may sound a little like Christopher Walken or Robert Deniro, but it’s NOT them. When Jimi plays this song, that he thought up in his head, you can feel it from every fiber of his being. SRV practiced this song every day from childhood and yes, he mastered all the notes and chords, but it’s rehearsed and played exactly like the record. Jimi NEVER played this song the same way twice, nor did he care how perfect or clean it was. EVERY time he played it live, he played it differently. It was about how Jimi FELT in the MOMENT on stage. SRV plays a nice imitation, that’s it. Jimi was THE improvisor and the ORIGINAL. NO disrespect to SRV, but C’MON, this song BELONGS to Jimi all the way!

This is from the Rainbow Bridge concert/movie, a private event held on Maui by the drug smuggling/distributing/selling Brotherhood of Eternal Love... (I was a mule for them, carrying AfgHani primo hash and Orange Sunshine LSD long before the term mule was used for transporting these drugs.) You can see a lot of the audience members are well into what were ritual psychedelic experiences! I did not see this concert, but was at the foot of the stage when Hendrix played the helLA Forum in 1968. That concert literally changed my entire life. NO other guitarist comes close to Jimi, and his singing was great too.

Jimi= the MAN 🎸🔥

I saw Jimi live. He could do all that left-handed, right-handed, one-handed with either hand, behind his head, behind his back, between his legs, with his teeth, with his tongue, with his elbow, with the mike stand, like it was nothing at all and Never. Miss. A. Note. You couldn't believe what you were seeing or hearing even while you were watching him do it. SRV is cool, but Jimi is Clark Kent's brother, sent here from another planet to teach us what guitars can do. See Wild Thing and Hey Joe at Monterey Pop and the Start Spangled Banner at Woodstock.

Not sure I ever understood the reason for SVR’s version of this song when you have Jimi. SVR was a fine guitarist, but jimi was and is outta this world.

Raw and beautiful.

The kid at 4:48 is like ye whatever lol

the King!

What people fail to realize is that without Jimi ,there would be no Stevie, no Jeff, no Tommy, Carlos, Steve, Neil's, Eddie, Eric/s, Angus, Ingve, Mathias, Jimmy, Alex, David, Adrian, Pete, etc. I can go on and on. Many of them would gratefully agree. Even though his sound is older, it's due to the time. He was pioneer, ......one who paved the way for many who wanted to pick up the axe and play just seeing him. They all brought their God given gifts to the table for us to enjoy. Don't forget, Hendrix had to battle alot along the way, where guitarists who followed him did not have to endure the same things. He wrote Purple Haze which was the mantra of the mod 60's. He totally changed the sound Machine Gun which has hit the heart of many a veteran, my dad included, who was hard nosed to some rock an roll music and The Star Spangled Banner, which many are starting to understand his version more and more as life goes on. It spoke of many things during that time. Some of those themes are still rampant and seem to still be somewhat active in the 21st century. Some racial inequality, war, the Black Panther Militants/maybe just under different names, and us just trying to survive and getting the people together, but in a world where no one can seem to agree to disagree without violence. We need music like this now more than ever, and there are not too many who are stepping up to the plate to do what he accomplished. He took a chance in a rock world where blacks were still coming from the chiltlin' circuit. Fast playing is not all there is to playing guitar. When you can move masses to want to play, you are the inspiration to many, so when they call him The Goat, believe me.....he is

the Goat ...

Jimi Hendrix Guitar God

Jimi was left handed in a world with only right handed guitars so he adapted he inverted & reversed the stratocaster instrument and took it to the Stratosphere

I just now realized supernaut by Black Sabbath sound exactly like this opening riff

Hendrix, man..he showed them all just how it was done..Jimmy Page learned half of what he knows from Hendrix and Stevie Ray learned Everything he knew from Hendrix, who did it all better 15 years earlier. As an Original. The engineering on the studio version is stunning, the vu meters just dance, headphones become alive...

Listening to Jimi is no light matter...

"Hey Joe" the Monterey Pop Festival

He da GOAT end of story

Hendrix is the GOAT

Best guitarist ever.

At the end of the show Jimi used to douse his guitar in lighter fluid and set it on fire. Like throwing your wine glasses in the fire place so they will never be used for a lesser toast. And yeah, Star Spangled Banner at sunrise at Woodstock a must!

Live at monterey , live at woodstock & Hendrix with a band of gypsy's live at the Fillmore .

he was in a space trip thats why he makes the space noises with the guitar - if you watch the movie the rainbow bridge where this footage is from you will get it - it is an lsd experiment where hendrix happened to play - people were given lsd as they entered and asked to sit with thier star signs - check the flags in the field = so all the aries sat together . all the virgos etc - no matter who you came with

Think about it: before this, it was The Beatles, The Stones, The Beachboys and Motown......You can hear the direct line from this to SRV and Jimmy Page. That was the “hippie dance”.....how you dance when you’re very mellowly stoned.....feeling the beat but in kind of a trance state....This was filmed in the countryside On Maui I believe.....and I think there was allot of “Maui wowie” around.....I remember those days.....

Machinegun live in Fillmore east, by Jimi Hendrix Experienced

Hey Joe at the Monterey Pop Festival. Purple Haze at the Atlanta Pop Festival. Johnny B. Goode on the In The West album

the genius

Oy!! Of course we danced so bad. We were all high on weed and acid man. FFS it was the 60's.

that was the dance style of the 60s

Jimi was a pure creator. He could play 7 notes in 1000 ways. Hip-hopers, RAPPERS and the like are so f... shitty garbage. Can't play 2 notes in 1 way. They need studio fake tricks to cover up their lack of musicianship.

Hey Joe, All Along The Wachtower, Manic Deepression...

My god he burned so brightly 🔥

He got that guitar screaming bloody murder

GOAT

Stevie went to Jimi's parents and asked them if he could pay tribute to Jimi by doing his songs and they said yes. Stevie very much respected Jimi.

Steve Winwood dropped by the studio when Jimi was recording his third album, Electric Ladyland. They jammed, Jimi on guitar and Winwood on organ. The result was the studio version of Voodoo Child that can be heard on the Electric Ladyland album. I cannot find this version on youtube. The album /cd is worth the purchase just to hear Hendrix and Winwood jam on voodoo child.

With just a silicon Fuzz pedal, Univibe pedal, vox wah pedal, 1968 Fender Stratocaster (turned upside down) and 3 - 100 watt Marshall amp stacks - daisy chained together. Jimi created all those sounds with just that simple setup... Amazing! From my understanding Jimi wanted to possibly finish up more songs to his next L.P. and also his new music studio "Electric Lady Studios" was nearing completion. So Jimi got talked into going to Hawaii by Mike Jeffreys for the Rainbow Bridge movie and from my understanding it was a last minute idea to have Jimi come in and perform so it could be added to the movie footage. Thats possibly why the crowd (audience) was so small, it was composed mainly of people who lived in the area and parts of the production crew / Rainbow Bridge cast standing there watching him play. It wasn't meant to be a fully organized or well planned out concert.

I feel like Jimi was the innovator. Stevie grew up listening listening to the great black blues guitarist's album & learning to play their songs note for note. But Jimi was truly Stevie's idol & many including Eric Clapton thought Stevie was able to channel Hendrix. You should listen to Stevie playing with Albert King, they played a whole session together, unbelievable.

The Man. Destroyed rock and roll and put it back together. The pioneer. Stevie continued the jam but Jimi brought it.

The baddest electric cat of them all..

Coolest human EVER...oh and you heard SRV do a cover of voodoo chile slight return which is an original of hendrix... Without Jimi there would be no SRV

Este hombre no era de este planeta 👽

Jimi and Stevie are not comparable. Stevie sterilized Jimi songs. His playing may be more technically clean and proficient, but he's no Hendrix. The problem with Jimi is that it's hard to get studio versions of his stuff on youtube, and even harder to keep reaction videos up from what I've gathered. It's a bummer.

Without Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn wouldn't exist.

Yessss.... have you seen the movie about him? Andre 3000 was good! Plis, my great grandma's maiden name was Hendrix, and I'm SURE we MUST be related lol

JIMI

I like your channel. Have been binge watching your reviews & subscribed. I really love music. It would be nice to have talent, it truly is a gift. PS...you would’ve been fabulous in a disco, lol.

This was his last show while in the US before he died, it was done in Maui while making a sorta movie, called Rainbow Bridge. The movie sucked, but the Jimi parts were fantastic, this show was a private show for the cast.

FyI Jimmy wrote Voodoo Child , Voodoo Child a Slight Return, Little Wing, and Third Stone from the Sun, all of which SRV covered. SRV was great in his own right, I did love him and Jimmy obviously was one of his main influences, but no matter how well he covered Jimi's songs, he was still SRV. There is and will always be only one Jimi Hendrix to come along in a lifetime. He was a genius innovator, writer, musician who was really one with his guitar which spoke his mind, heart and soul that was mystical and other worldy. In the short amount of timed he graced this planet, he turned the music world on it's head and left an indelible imprint. To paraphrase something Eric Clapton aid ' The first time he saw Jimi play, it was like it's all over. You couldn't figure out what Jimi's hands were doing on the guitar or how he got it to make the sounds he was getting out of it, even if you were standing over him and watching him do it'. Yes there is something to be said for guitarists or any instrumentalists who are excellent technicians, and or those who can shred at super sonic speed. Jimi had it all with a biscuit.

FIRE BRO!, check out Voodoo Child live at Woodstock and Foxy Lady Live, wearing a white shirt, might be Woodstock also!!!, FIRE BRO!, no one compares, PLEASE!!!, 👊🏻

well , if you dug that then check out jimi plays berkeley if you already have not checked it out ! it`s the bomb.

You should react to the song “Who Knows” on “A band of Gypsies “ Jimi was in that band .

It would be impossible for most guitarists to handle the decimals Jimi controlled with ease

Machine Gun... Berkley Sound Check! He put it into Outer Space.

In a little more than three short years until his death, Jimi went from nothing to become the highest paid rock artist in the world. He remained the best selling black artist in the world - even after his death - until Micheal Jackson's Thriller album 12 years later. He should be as honoured in the black community as James Brown, Miles Davis and spoken about as being as revolutionary as the Black Panthers.

You should take listen to Jeff Beck cause we ended as lovers live Ronnie Scott's. And Eric Johnson cliffs of Dover live in Texas
