Drummer is the legendary Mitch Mitchell btw!

The GOAT. He would have been 77 today.

Hendrix Huh!? Then “Purple Haze” is a must!!

This young man from Seattle Washington changed Rock and Roll and guitar playing forever. The one...the only...Jimi Hendrix. The greatest guitar player in the world ever. He shook the world. No one ever heard anything like him when he hit the scene in 1967 with "The Jimi Hendrix Experience." One of a kind. Period.

You need to listen to All Along the Watchtower or Voodoo Child for ultimate Hendrixness , cant wait for new song

Not many people actually appreciate Mitchell.....its so easy to be hypnotized by Hendrix and miss out on what's going on behind him....he's an amazing drummer First heard ' hey Joe' on a House Of Guitars commercial as a kid....it kinda woke me up

Watching videos like these makes me feel like I’m hearing these songs for the first time again. Music is so powerful...

all along the watchtower next Jimmi Hendrix if you want some kickass 🎸

I love that the drummer was tied with another drummer for the job and got the job based on a coin toss. Hope the other drummer did well. This dude was perfect for The Experience

Jimi hendrix was not just a guitar player he was a force of nature.

This song still gives me goosebumps.

Noel Redding Mitch Mitchell were an awesome rhythm section. Jimi shines so bright its easy to overlook them. Jimis version of All Along the Watchtower is a must listen.

Jimi was the man. He left way to soon I can't imagine the music he would have made if he was still alive

YES! All along the Watchtower!

I want to cry tears of joy when I listen to jimi hendrix.

Jimi enlisted in the Army on May 31, 1961 for three years. While it is unclear about just what his (MOS )military occupational specialty was, he ended up serving in Company A, 801st Maintenance Battalion, in the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Airborne! All the way!

Jimi Hendrix a legend he was only in his mid 20's when died one of best 🎸 players ever lived

another good hendrix tune is "Are You Experienced?" -- a psychedelic song about an acid trip

Jimi Hendrix is great, I have been listening to him since I was Nine years old. I was born in 1958.

Bold as Love, off the Axis: Bold as Love album is one of my all time favorite Hendrix songs (great lyrics sung with a lot of passion). The Wind Cries Mary is really beautiful (also great lyrics). Manic Depression and Little Wing are also great. Wish you could have been around to hear him in the early days; it was magical

very interesting for a 57 yr old musician hearing your perspective on Jimi !! very cool young lady !! ... and super-cool that you picked up on the fantastic drum hero, Mitch Mitchell bringing out the best in Jimi !!

I wuz 8 years old in 1969 so Jimi was gone before I really knew any of his stuff. Since then I have listened to all of it many times and as awesome as it is there’s no new stuff, so the big radio tunes don’t hit me like they used to. That’s kinda cool in one way, if I wanna jam some Hendrix it’s often the lesser known stuff (if there is such a thing). Anyway, if I wuz to crank some right now, it would probably be a song called Angel. The story goes Jimi wrote it after having a dream his Mama came down from heaven. More great -and a little different, guitar playing from an amazing Artist that left us way too soon. Much respect fo what this dude managed to do in such a short time and sad that we missed out on what he had left to write and play for us.

such a great joy to see someone young like you hear this for the first time and love it so much

I sold an ounce of Pot to Mitch Mitchell in 1972, in Miami Beach! My claim to fame! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is the only song where Hendrix used background singers, he was a perfectionist and drove the singers half-crazy with take after take after take. Props to the singers, they did an awesome job.

"All Along the Watch Tower"

request: "Manic Depression" by Jimi

Hi, Scribe! Really glad you liked Hey Joe, a great intro to Jimi! Yes, that was Mitch Mitchell, Hendrix's main drummer. Jimi said Mitch's drumming made him want to play! Two great early Hendrix songs, on the CD of his American "Are You Experienced?" album, which I think you'd like are "Stone Free" & "Manic Depression".

Jimi live at Berkeley doing Johnny B.Goode

Jimi was The Man! The emotion, the passion. The acknowledged leader of rock guitar in the late 1960s. Mitch Mitchell was jazzy, a perfect foil for Jimi. Check out voodoo child and also rock me baby from the live Monterey album. Jimi Played on the "chitlin circuit" with all the blues and R and B artists. When he got to England those British guys where in awe of him. They studied American blues and Jimi Played with those the guys they studied. Also, check out his version of the national anthem at Woodstock. Very controversial at the time. I can hear the great Curtiss Mayfield in some of jimis' guitar playing. Thanks

ah, listen to little wing, spanish castle magic and red house

"Ain't no hangman gonna put a rope around me - you better believe!"

Hendrix was found in NYC by bass player with the English '60s band The Animals (House of the Rising Sun). Chas Chandler brought Jimi over to London, became his manger and the rest is history as they say...

"Crosstown Traffic" ... my favorite Jimi Hendrix song! 🤘😎 💕

great guitarists are like a big beautiful roller coaster ride. hendrix is a roller coaster that goes underground, comes up through the ocean and then on the way to outer space. you won't believe your eyes whenever you see him play live.

Bout damn time, 409!!! This is the studio version. U need to see him do it live. Any place is good place to start. He produced 3 technically perfect albums great for headphones. Try All Along The Watchtower, Johnny B Goode live, Killing Floor, his performance at Monterey Pop. I’m still thinking Prince was his love child with Tina Turner

This is a good place to start....by the time you get to Voodoo Child your mind will be permanently blown.

He has soul for sure lady 😍

There is a video of Jimi singing this live btw. He didn't write "Hey Joe." Jimi is my absolute favorite guitarist with Stevie Ray Vaughan next. I was lucky enough to see Jimi live in S.F. in 1968 when I was 14. He is an absolute legend. My favorite albums of his are Axis Bold As Love and Electric Ladyland. If YT won't let you put any up, please listen to them on your own time. You will be glad you did! Mitch Mitchell was the drummer and Noel Redding was bassist. He also played behind his back, same with Stevie Ray Vaughan.

I forgot about Fire; you'll love it

You'll love "Crosstown Traffic" (funky)

The drummer's name is Mitch Mitchel an original member of The Jimi Hendrix Experience

The legend...jimi hendrix....lightyears ahead...

you can play anything by Jimi Hendrix... he is one of the greatest artist to ever grace us with his presence... Jimi left us way too soon

if you like the drummer (mitch Mitchell) then you will be blown away with the Hendrix song FIRE. mitch goes crazy

Girl, where have you been all my KZfaq watching life?? Jimi is GOAT.

I’m a black guy and my favorite Hendrix song is if 6 was 9. They played it in the movie easy rider.

Stevie Ray Vaughn’s inspiration...

It took this long for her to discover one of the greatest artists EVER, and a brother for the kicker🙁

Hey Joe was a cover, of course anything that Jimi covered automatically basically became his! Lol You have to react to Voodoo Chile Slight Return studio version.. in my opinion the greatest guitar rock god recording of all time. Jimi has Eddie Kramer as the sound engineer for it and thankfully as well! Absolute masterpiece! Jimi❤️🎸🎼✌️ Another amazing cover and classic is his version of Bob Dylan’s All Along The Watchtower.. he had Dave Mason on acoustic 12 string backing him and it again, is another incredible classic.. My favorite artist of the 20th century.. ✌️

I give you total respect you actually listen to the song and you noticed how good mitch is on the drums

Went to a Jimmy Hendrix tribute concert at the Fox in St. Louis. I was 50 years young. All the others where sixty, seventy years old. Every one was high as a kite. Cops even came in and arrested the baby boomers. Fox it was great concert. 😊

The Wind Cries Mary, my favorite song of his. One he actually wrote.

Glad you got to Jimi Hendrix. “Hey Joe” was the first release by Jimi at the very end of 1966. It was followed by “Purple Haze” and “The Wind Cries Mary” Jimi only had three studio albums and one live record in his short career. He died in 1970. Other songs to look for are “Red House”, “If 6 Were 9”, “Voodoo Childe”, and “All Along the Watchtower.” Look for his live performances from The Monterey Pop Festival and his epic performance at Woodstock. His drummer was Mitch Mitchell and you are right to point him out as outstanding.

Chas Chandler , bass guitarist with The Animals, was Jimi's manager - and producer for a ton of his tracks

Sister, that's the experience.

A friend saw Jimi performing in London in the spring of 1967. Stevie Wonder was the support act. He said nobody before or since has come even remotely close to matching him. Fifty years after his premature departure, guitarists are still catching up with him. Check out "House Burning Down" or "Machine Gun" from the Filmore East, New Year's Eve 1969 for confirmation.

Girl I am 100% with you, that's why I have a bunch of pot stocks. I'm 57 and I got to grow up with all this, didn't make Woodstock though. Purple Haze, the song I mean, Then some Foxy Lady, and of course All Along The Watchtower, which should be the second song if you're going to do it right. And the ultimate come on song Let Me Stand Next To Your Fire! On the contemplative side of Jimi, there is The Wind Cries Mary and of course many, many more. Lucky You.

The power trio. They had the power of a raging storm balanced with the sweetest honey.

little wing.....little wing....little wing.... the best song ever

Voodoo chile from Woodstock Jimi kills with his great talent

Are you ready to rock & roll? LOL! 🤣 ring her bell. Ya baby yeah!

Jimmy is known as a pretty influential guitarist. His song Little Wing show cases that a little more.

I run into Jimmy's half brother at the am/pm near my house in Kent all the time. Very cool and gracious man.

Saw him once live, It was electrifying

great song! think you would also love Janis Joplin - Piece Of My Heart. Ball And Chain (Live), they were big at the same time and unfortunately died around the same time at the same age.

RIP MITCH AND JIMI ROCK N ROLL LEGENDS LOVE YOUR STUFF

Young lady, you are the best, no one close, and your respect for tha man clearly shows it. Sweet Hippie chick, soul sista, Right Onnnnnnn ... Peace and Love

You always have the perfect reactions to stuff we grew up on and have been imprinted in us for decades. Instantly grooving with Jimi's greatness, catching all the good parts, not missing a beat. "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" should blow your mind as well.

Hendrix was a rock god. Can you imagine if he was still alive today.

Just to clarify, hey joe is not originally a Hendrix track. He just covered it

Try Jimi Hendrix version of (all along the watch tower )

Other songs: - All along the watchtower - Purple Haze - Foxy Lady - Are you experienced - The Wind Cries Mary - Castles Made of Sand And much more. He is another rabbit hope, like zeppelin and floyd.

1983 - A Merman I Should Turn To Be. The ultimate Jimi.

You have a Voice for Radio, or voice over work. Absolutely AWESOME!!!

He was amazing...we lost a great musician 😢

Lynrd Skynyrd doing freebird live in Oakland 77 a true classic 💕🇨🇦

I had to watch this video a few times, mostly for the fun of it, but, hey, old guy here... I grew up with Jimi. The way you sat up to attention with the first few syllables of the song told me everything I knew what was to follow. There's a reason Jimi Hendrix is considered one of the most important musicians of the modern era. He basically defined Rock Music. He pretty much reminded everyone that the blues are we get our soul from in music. And he redefined everything. Redefined everything. And you embodied all of that in this video. Keep listening to the OG's. They will teach much. And whatever you do going forward, be like Jimi and keep the soul alive. Keep that soul flame burning. You can only benefit by it.

Jimi would legit put acid tabs in his headband so when he would sweet it would activate the acid while he played. BTW check out his song Little Wing! Or Wind Cries Mary

Im ready to rock and roll!

Love your reaction to THE LEGEND!

I'm so glad I got to see you react to Jimi's Hey Joe. I also would like to see your reaction to All Along the Watchtower. Dylan wrote it. Voodoo Chile is another I'd like to see your reaction to. It's on the Electric Ladyland album. 1983 a Merman I Should Turn to Be is on that album too. The whole album is good. And Bold as Love off the Axis: Bold as Love album is awesome as well.

Did you know you posted this on Hendrix' 77th birthday? Wow! The universe aligned for you! Here's a few suggestions: Machine Gun (from the Band of Gypsies concert) Voodoo Child Sta Spangled Banner, Purple Haze, and Villanova Junction Blues from the Woodstock concert There's A LOT more I cold recommend,,, he recorded a lot of music. You and other young people make me happy by rediscovering this music. Thank you and much respect!

Love your unselfconscious grooving to the Mitchell/Redding rhythm section...il be back for more!

Jimi Hendrix played across the US and didn't make it on a commercial level. Chas Chandler who was the bass player for the Animals heard him play and promised he'd introduce Jimi to Eric Clapton if he flew to England. Chas signed Jimi and flew him to the UK. Jimi met Clapton and Chas built the Experience around Jimi. Hey Joe was released in December 1966. Jimi was a no body. By the time of Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967, Hendrix was a world wide sensation. You should look at Jimi playing Monterey in 1967. It was his home coming gig after he'd tried for years to make it. FYI Jimi has previously been a back up guitarist for Little Richard.

Hear My Train Comin' live at Berkley is a must see

I Loved growing up in the '70s

There are some of us that are SICKER'! than others!

this was his tame version - at Monterey he played lead with his teeth and later behind his head

Live black and white version is considered his best performance. The crowd was in an effing trance

WIND CRIES MARY IS THE BEST VIBE I SWEAR. ALSO THE NATIONAL ANTHEM

wow great choice blessing ty ty ty

Jimi's excellent version of Hey Joe is the "go to" common one most of us are familiar with today. But before Jimi, Hey Joe was a garage rock standard played by every amateur suburban band out there. All of them played the song much faster and more aggressive. Jimi's cover at a slower pace was considered different and innovative when it first came out. For comparison sake, check out the earlier hit version by the Leaves or a five minute version by the Shadows of Knight. These versions are awesome too.

Jimi is a gift from the God's 😂

My fave Hendrix song!

I thoroughly enjoyed watching get in to it. He is just to cool

This is just the start.... It gets a lot more progressive than this.... There is a story that Jimmy Page Eric Clapton and Jeff beck used to argue about who was the best guitarist.... They went to see Jimi Hendrix... End of argument !🤘🇬🇧

Red House, studio version.

ROCK ON BABY BLACK LOVE. JIMI IS THE MASTER

Lordy, Lord, Girl -- you're going after some heavy hitters here! Good! Look up Guitar God in Webster's and you may get a picture of Jimi. He was so good that he basically reinvented how an electric guitar could be played. If you happened to be him....
