Jimi Hendrix backstage with the Rolling Stones, Outside with Jerry Garcia, The Rolling Stones waiting on the helicopter to Altamont and my voice that I hate.
Charlie had so much respect for his wife that he didn't even give that girl a kiss on the forehead. That's why he was one of only a few rock stars that stayed married to the same woman for over 50 years!
Whenever i see clips of Hendrix, he's almost always got a guitar in his arms and often just jamming around with someone else. It really was an exstension of himself. He would morph into this confident guy with his guitar, without it, he was shy. He certainly was a playing machine.
Oh, when you're a musician(as in, you honestly enjoy playing and it's not just a put on), then playing your instrument is the thing that's typically gonna make you the happiest. I'm always the most laid back and out of my anxiety when i'm in front of my keyboard.
Yes, it was his Birthday that night and they had a surprise little party for Jimi, they surprised him with a huge Birthday cake, awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.. bpf 007, you are correct sir..
It was Jimi's birthday, and he was there to see The Stones play @ Madison Square Garden, after the concert, they surprised Jimi with a big birthday cake.....
A special place indeed...ive been a musician since about 1974.There was no place in my heart for "alternative" rock n roll until my kids started turning me on to Alice in Chains ,Pearl Jam. The Red Hot Chili Peppers,Nirvana...you get the picture. This is good rock n roll and i love it,but funny thing is, my kids favorite bands are Black Sabbath, Lynrd Skynyrd ,The Rolling Stones...because this is where it all started.these guys where the pioneers of rock n roll. I am thankful as a guitar player that i had these guys a a mentor...musical wise...
It's cool that Keef and Jimi were copacetic, no drama. But the most revealing thing about this clip to me is that when Mick wants to find out what's *really* going down, he goes to Jerry to find out who's flying the spaceship.
@@FOCKTARD Hey dumbass, all caps doesn't make your idiotic comment any less wrong. Ted Nugent is a draft-dodging coward who shit himself on purpose to get out of serving his country and he isn't fit to shine Jerry's shoes. Jerry lives on - he will always be a god amongst men. And how can Jerry be "the biggest piece of shit since Obama" (the best president we've ever had) when Jerry died long before Obama was (twice) elected (by the biggest landslide to date)? Also, it's loser (with two "o"s it means less tight), diarrhea (h not g), and masturbate (u not an e). Go jack off somewhere ignorant fuckstick.
Joe Rockhead What an irrelevant person to put up against Jerry lol Plenty of other guitarists who did harder drugs than Jerry or no drugs at all who are gods at playing. Jimmy Page shot heroin and so did like every good musician ever from the 60s-70s
yes paul Mcartney said he saw him play right handed and it sounded the same thats AMAZING because the strings would be upside down like he really doing here the footage has been mirrored or turned backwards, jimi is really playing lefty on a right handed guitar upside down thats INSANE!!JIMI was a guitar GENIUS.
David Harrison: Jagger told Charlie once that he was "his" drummer but Charlie shot back with 'Your my fucking singer", Charlie is THE man, rock solid and stayed with the same woman that came up with him through thick and thin, solid guy and one of the great Rock n Roll Drummers of all time.
This is why I'm a Dead fan - Jerry and the boys waiting for hours and still just laughing about what a shit show this concert was - "it won't be long now...we'll get higher yet."
Saw an interesting doco on the Dead yesterday which stated that once the band started making money they would give out food to people in the Haight Asbury & basically try to make sure they were ok, which if true really was ‘hippy capitalism’ in action! A very cool bunch of guys played in that band.
vaneza valdez when asked by Jagger to kiss the girl, Charlie responded, “love is much more of a deeper thing then that. It isn’t flippant to be thrown away on celluloid.” (Celluloid is what they used to use to make film and flippant means casual or not serious).
While it was Brian who formed the group it was Ian Stewart who did the hard work of keeping the band working on schedules and maintaining a high degree of musicianship. Until a recording session had Ian's approval they weren't allowed to leave the studio. Brian's combination of frustration at being shoved aside by the Jagger-Richards-Andrew Loog Oldham triumvirate followed by his overindulgence of drugs and the destructive behavior that it brought out sabotaged his very promising career. Ian Stewart adapted to his role in the Stones, Brian couldn't and didn't.
Robert Cross C'mon, Stewart refused to play minor keys while playing piano (why they brought in Nicky Hopkins). Just a lunkhead roadie and golf enthusiast who had nothing to do with the Stones studio behavior. To even put him in the same breath of importance to the Stones musically as Brian - who formed the band with a burning mission for the blues and contributed so many different colors and sound to Stones recordings -is a complete farce.
I'm not saying Ian was a great musician. But he had a very diligent work ethic and the kind of forceful but lovable personality that pushed the Stones to put out the best product they were capable of. They all respected him as their severest critic who kept them from being too full of themselves. Brian, while the most artistic musician of the bunch, was far too lackadaisical in work ethics and too non-committal in his relationships to other people to be given the title of "leader" of the Stones.
Robert Cross Brian was the one who formed the group in the first place; without him Mick would've ended up a banker who sang along with Alexis Korner's band on occasional weekends for fun, and Keith would've ended up in Chuck Berry cover bands the rest of his life. Look at youtube clips; Brian is the spokesman for the group while Mick and Keith are silent in the background, he lead the band through rehearsals and corrected their playing through the first critical year, while Stu's biggest contribution was saying (Wyman quote): "Okay my little shower of shit/three-chord wonders, you're on." End of story.
Holding Mick or the Stones responsible for what happened should be relegated to the "No good deed goes unpunished" realm. They were trying to put on a free event to give back to the fans. PS--the Stones never hired the Hells Angels and a film of the tour was never planned.
Jerry was alright until he started hitting the crack and heroin in the ‘80’s. But st least when he died the first time, he came back. I saw them that your at RFK. It was so stinking hot and humid like I.e. always was in DC in the summer.
It’s interesting because the Dead weren’t a big band at that point. It’s pre-Workingmans and American Beauty, so they were really just that psychedelic hippy band at that point
@@andrewptob Their popularity was not based on their albums but their concerts. I'd hazard more bootlegs were sold than official albums. They were already a "big band".
I think the footage at the beginning with the stones and Hendrix is when the stones plated MSG in NY..????? as you don't see Hendrix in any of the outdoor footage??
You may know more than me, but I don't think he was an asshole or anything, just a flamboyant and demanding rockstar with an ego that demanded people's attention. I can think of worse personalities.
It was essential to have the somewhat older and more grounded Watts, Stewart and Wyman in the band, with that kind of fame. It surely isn't only a matter of musical talent / chemistry that keeps a band going, but also the right mix of personalities.
@@t-bo-lesotho I think he never did drugs, just women. So probably not too grounded, but ever stones Autobiography I read pretty much all say Charlie was very honourable
The footage of Jimi playing Mick Jones' SG was at Madison Square Garden during the Stones' November 27, 1969 gig. Hendrix's fans will recognize that date as Jimi's birthday; his 27th. After the concert a party was thrown for Hendrix at his apartment were his girlfriend Devon Wilson threw herself on Mick Jagger, even going as far as licking a finger wound he obtained when opening a can of a beer. Jimi didn't get mad. He put pen to notepad and wrote "Dolly Dagger". "She drinks blood from a jagged edge."
Is the film flipped backwards or was Hendrix really playing a left handed guitar, and Richards is playing a right handed guitar? Never seen that before.
He's actually playing a lefty with his right hand which also I've never seen before, that is so cool! Normally he would play a right handed guitar upside down with his left hand!🎸🎸🎸🎸 and how about Richards trying to play a a lefty well LOL
:57 Jimi playing an SG and pick guard on top. Richard's Les Paul is correct looking but make it look like he is playing left handed. Also noticed a Gibson hollow body and Gibson logo on headstock was backwards. I'm thinking camera flipped everything.
Good for you Charlie!! Love is more important than that and you don't take orders from old Mick. Your not "his" drummer, your the drummer of The Rolling Stones!!! Yeah!
How cool is this video! Thanks so much for sharing!😃 Talk about archival footage of musical greats, it's like a visual footnote of Who's Who of 1969!😲 Love it! Especially the bit where Charlie, being his own man even then, deftly puts Mick in his place for clearly attempting to manipulate/exploit the usually-reserved drummer's popularity, making everyone laugh in the process --including the somewhat cowed Mick. You GO, Charlie! 😎 No wonder everyone admires him: He maintains his principles without judging those of others. Truly a class act, as always.😊
It was a nice video but it was all backwards this footage never took place before all the month and Hendrix never played out a month this is from a whole nother gig it's only clickbait
I like the way Jerry Garcia speaks. He's a real character.. all these people were. Maybe it's just natural for people to think in their youth things were more real. But I'm 29, and the 90's seemed like people were more real. And these people seemed more real, like more true to themselves, and didn't care what people thought of them.
It's true what you're saying about people in the '90's being, "more real". I was in high school during the early 90's and I must say that I feel the same way about people back then. Everything is becoming less and less, "real" thanks to computers (in my opinion at least). Think about how fake popular music has become. Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj and all these popular singers don't rely on actual musical instruments when creating their, "music". They do rely HEAVILY on computers and drum machines to create their sounds which replicate traditional musical instruments. People also take "fake" pictures and post them to instagram or facebook -those aren't real pictures of people!! They've all been "touched up" and redone to make them look their best. It's fake. They don't really look that way! Know what I mean?
Aha, brilliant comment, this is the 2 thousands, and the 21st century, and I Myself, don't care what ppl think of me, as long as they are not in my face with it, he he!!! I was from that Era, and ppl were in to Peace And Love, Like Jimi Hendrix was, that lasted until the late 60's then all hell broke loose VERY SAD..
I know exactly what you mean, all the celebrities look average in person, some above average, they have flaws like us regular ppl.. As far as i'am concerned, i believe in the Natural look, because Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder... Your comment wagson, is RIGHT ON !!!
It seems like cultural movements like this come in waves. Just looking at it from the music point of view, the image the Stones pushed was a response to the stiff and suffocating culture they grew up in, and then a few years later punk would come along to try to bring "authenticity" back into the popular music they saw as stagnant by the later 70s. Today, you can see a lot of the young rappers coming up to push against a music culture of one-dimensional pop stars.
Meanwhile the Hells Angels were already showing up at the raceway and starting to get drunk and fuck with people who were also high as hell and perhaps getting on the Angels' nerves.
These guys are legends and have created some of the greatest music ever. But they also come across as a bunch of try-hards.. Mick seems like he was insufferable.
I seem to remember a story about how Garcia and most of the Dead were all on LSD at this point waiting for the helicopter to take them to Altamont and they were getting more and more paranoid about the stories coming out from the show. By the time they got there, they bailed on playing altogether. A combination of the vibe and the drugs and Jerry noped the fuck out of there.
If you look at the film, Garcia and Lesh meet up with Michael Shrieve of Santana and he tells them about what was going on including what happened to Marty Balin of Jefferson Airplane. It was at that moment that the Dead pulled out. Interestingly, they were supposed to perform between the Flying Burrito Brothers' set and the Stones and the Dead's set would have ended just as the sun went down. However, when the Dead pulled out the Stones decided to wait until after sunset to go onstage and because of the long gap the crowd really got more tense and that's when things really got bad.
That's what a lot of people thought. The Dead were originally scheduled to go on between Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and the Stones. When the Dead pulled out the logical thing would have been for the Stones to go on right after CSNY, but Jagger wanted to wait until dark to perform and when CSNY finished their set it was still daylight and the sun wouldn't go down for at least a few more hours. The long wait was what helped add to a lot of the tension that was going on.
I love how Jimi is playing righthanded! But I saw a video where Bill Kreutsmann was on the other side of jerry, so this version might be flipped in post-editing software.
Ya, that's what I was thinking too. First, I thought Hendrux playing right handed?!! Then, must be a flipped imaging. Can't believe so few comments about it.
Wow. Well, I hope to read the book when it comes out. That whole four month period always fascinated me. Of course, a lot of people held Mick responsible for it due to what happened. I also wish someone would talk more about the Brian Jones Memorial Show when the British Hells Angels were the security. Also, I hope someone will release recordings of the full event, including King Crimson and Family's performances.
I love how he pulls out his pocket watch. Classist....all of them. Im just now getting to add The Rolling Stones. I just got dumped, like wtf, right...
This footage is from the 40 years deluxe edition from Get Ya Ya.....(3 cd + 1 Dvd box or Lp etc)Featuring the whole Madison Square Garden Show in New York 1969 plus the support for the Stones that night BB King and Ike and Tina Turner.(Audio)On Dvd there is also a few live version from Prodigal Son,You Gotta move (Keith and Mick alone playin ) plus live versions from I'm free,Under My Thumb and Satisfaction,but they are from New York M.Garden and not from San Francisco Altamont...Great Edition...worth every cent👌👌👌👌
Bogus title and misleading video. The first portion leads one to believe that Hendrix is in dressing with Stones prior to Altamont. Hendrix was nowhere near Altamont on that day. The Hendrix scenes are backstage, Madison Square Garden, New York City.
He was my first husband's, one of his best friends, as was Jimi, but Jerry and he, had a falling out, never knew why, hubby didn't want to tell me, being very young, i didn't care anyways, just thought it was stupid..
The Dead were just so anti-rock star. Kreutzman and the others look like they could be roadies (whereas nobody could ever mistake a Rolling Stone for one of their crew, with their fur coats and pocket watches, etc.) There's a longer clip from this same day, and Mick basically ignores all the Dead members except Jerry. I'm pretty sure he has no idea who they are --of course even in those early days everybody knows who Captain Trips is.
So glad they didn’t do a “Pete Best” with Stu….. In hindsight in was a smart move by Oldham… so glad the Stones kept him onboard….think Stu prob preferred being in the background….
