Jimi Hendrix Experience accepts award at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions 1992 

Its hard to imagine these two soft spoken British men were part of making some of the most timeless bad ass music ever.

RIP Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell.

Lovin' the standing ovation for Jimi's Dad. I'm crying right along with him.

Jimi and these guys were the best. Never forget.

Mitch Mitchell was one of the best drummers of Rock, and most unrecognized. He was a multi-rhythmic space-jazz drummer who flew with Jimi. He didn't just "keep time". I saw the Experience many times, and Jimi once with Band of Gypsies. Always transcendant.

Hard to believe that all 3 original members are gone... Thank you for the experience and still inspiring many 50+ years on!

Mitch was a great drummer

I burst to tears when Al Hendrix cried when he picked up his own son's award.

Even though Jimi had a short career he still inspires thousands of people everyday. His music is still relevant today. What a true legend.

Tears rolled down when I saw his dad crying.

Billy Cox should have been honored as well

I'm crying like a baby...The standing ovation for Jimi's dad was awesome!! I'm 57 yrs old and have been a HUGE fan of Jimi Hendrix for 52 yrs....I still have the first Hendrix album that I was given. I may have only been 4 yrs old during Woodstock 1969 but I grew up listening to Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, The Who...Music back then was iconic and I loved it!! There we're many more but the ones I listened to the most were Jimi and Janis...God Rest their sweet souls!!!

Mitch was such a classy guy

It's too bad that our friends can't be with us today........

I miss some one I've never met in my life, so much.

Standing ovation for Jimi's father...well deserved.

How touching to see Al on stage. Life wasnt always easy for this fine person. He was surely behind his son all the way. RIP both.

A very emotional moment. I teared up for Al. Jimi's death haunted him.

Mitch Mitchell was such a beast. The synergy between Mitch and Jimi was cosmic.

RIP all incarnations of the "Jimi Hendrix Experience" and what an experience it was!

Al was a good man. You can tell. RIP Jimi + Al. Both good hearted men.

I got all teary eyed seeing Jimi's Dad all proud and emotional such a great honor for Jimi

Thank You God for having blessed us with the souls of Jimi, Mitch and Noel, and I'm sure they are rocking heaven...blessedly so!!!!

glad half the musicians and family members in the crowd finally got it that the man who raised Jimi Hendrix thoroughly deserved a standing Ovation.

Greatest debut album ever - insanely good band, arguably the best 3-man rock band ever. Superb drums and bass to complement Hendrix.

Jimi's dad clearly very emotional about the huge love and respect for his boy's incredible gift to the world of music!

Mitch was top notch. Very very underrated drummer.

Jimi's Dad said it plainly and simply-"thank you for remembering him" - becasue the real message was in his emotions, saying more than words could ever. That's how Jimi's creativity worked- less lyrical than a musical soundscape experience. I am privileged to have shared the same planet with jimi Hendrix those few years when he was still here.

I kind of wish Jimi's guitar was there center stage waiting for him. I lost it when his father came up on stage.. so proud but also so much frustration and anger for losing his son.

i wanted to hear Jimi's music for to sing along (it is the morning in France ) and i came here but to see them makes me cry now. God bless them all

I would've given Mitch and Noel a standing ovation. Man, what musicians!

MITCH was incredible live....at that time....he was FLYING!

Redding was great, but we must not forget Bill Cox. RIP to both exceptional musicians. #W.V.

Awesome mana of Mr Al Hendrix and the emotional humility he expressed for his son Jimi in front of Jimi's peers. Love you Mr Hendrix...Bold As Love.

The highlight was Jimmy Hendricks' dad accepting for his son. Very emotional for dad.

My heart goes out to his dad.

If you did not shed a tear....

god bless them guys and god bless u jimi!

I began to cry, looking up at the sky. As jimi smiled back down, at my frown. And he softly said 'Hey brotha cheer up,..yeah.. I'm still around'

He loved his son. He didn't know how to be a good father, but he loved him. Jimi was damaged from the past, but they are together again.

This was a Extremely Emotional video for me their music will always be part of me RIP Jimi Hendrix and Experience

Rip the jimi hendrix experience

Jesus you can tell how fucking hilarious it would have been to spend time with those three fuckers... Damnit I'm not a generic "I was born in the wrong era" kid, but I'd love to have met them like they were in the 60s...

Jimi was out of this world, of course, but Redding and Mitchell themselves were way beyond the average back then and great, as we all know. They deserved the award themselves.

Yeah there's just no words to describe how absolutely fantastic Jimi, Mitch and Noel really were ... thank God their music will live-on in our ears and in our hearts ! I was just a kid in the '60's but I remember when Purple Haze erupted on the scene and I knew I would be a drummer. Later on I had about 8 rock bands and did a lot of studio recording thanx to the inspiration of guys like these ... Love on ya, Jimi *hearts*

I can see where Jimi got his big heart. His dad is so awesome. Miss you Jimi. 💖🎸🥰

"If i don't see you no more in this world i'll see you in the next one don't be late.-Jimi Hendrix.

AWESOME! God bless Jimi!

10 years later Noel Redding would pass away from cancer and Mitch followed suit in 2009. RIP three rock legends still listening 2023.

Noel Redding has been so underrated, it´s a crime. You should pay more attention to his licks in the first two albums, and the ones he threw on ElectricLadyland (as you all should know that Jimi himself did record many of the bass parts in that album)

R.I.P Guys

I am honestly weeping hysterically 😭😭😭😭 I was in tears 😢long before anyone said a word 😢😥I am sitting here watching as Jimi's dad is accepting an award on behalf of his late son who died so young only 27years old... Oh my GOD one of the greatest of all musicians who ever lived has me moved beyond anything I could have ever imagined Although Jimi Hendrix was long before my time ..I think about how this sweet loving beautiful soul of a man could have very well been my dad♥️ cause heaven knows I truly love and adorn him as though he really were my real dad .I am immensely sorry that Jimi Hendrix passed away and I am immensely sorry to hear that some of his loyal and most faithful dedicated band members from the Jimi Hendrix experience have passed away too...oh my GOD 😭 may they all rest in peace ☮️🕊️🕊️ and in unity's 🙏🙏🙏

I don't know what was their relationship but it made me... cry a little bit at the end

hendrix will go down in the history books as one of the best, he really left his mark.

Mitch is one of my favourite drummers.👍🏻 These 3 were brilliant🙏🏻rest easy mates.

Those two exceptional talents died penniless.

Mitch, what a gentleman. Al, tears of love. In the end that's what it's all about, all the love lived and lost. My hat's off to all of you thank you for the music.

Jimi father was so proud of his son,, had me in tears & your son is still on top Mr.Hendrix😊❤rip

Hendrix was amazing his dad loved him so much and I know jimi loved his dad too those tears were from wherever jimi is now

They all have passed but not before leaving a musical legacy that will never be equaled. RIP James Marshall Hendrix.

R.I.P. Mr. James Marshall Hendrix Rock In Peace my brother 🙏

I drank some beers and chatted with Noel back in 1990 in Trumansburg NY. He was very kind and polite, a genuinely good man. I will always appreciate that time to hang out with him. A very talented man for sure!

I have read many books on Jimi and seen most of his interviews...and there is no where that you can indicate Al wasn't a loving supporting father. I suggest you read Electric Landland before you throw Al name in the mud.

Feeling very emotional as well as love to Jimmy's dad❤❤❤i can feel about his reaction ❤❤❤RIP Legend ❤🙏🏻

Good thing about this is.....the bands back together

Jimi made PURPLE a color of legitimacy. Mission accomplished!!!!!

IT SURE TOOK A LONG TIME TO PUT HIM IN THE HALL OF FAME HE IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE ABOVE THE HALL OF FAME FOREVER ROCK ON JIMI, NOEL, AND MICH. AND HIS DAD ACCEPTING THE AWARD LEFT ME TO TEARFUL. R. I .P.🙏🎸🎸🥁😭

I feel like Purple Haze was such a bad choice for that particular moment

Seeing Jimi’s father tear up was very emotional.

Mitch loved Jimi. OMG! Al Hendrix 😢😢✨✨🙏🙏🌹🌹

This is a celebration of the Experience formed in 1966, not disregarding his band however focus on the point - The Experience were the original. It was the period in which Jimi played and recorded a style of music which was not the same as what he came out with post-Experience/mid 1969 with Buddy Miles, Billy Cox etc. A true Hendrix fan tells the difference in the style of music he performed with The Experience and what he did in the last 2 years or so of his life, both very great though.

Jimi looked like his dad

Working at the Post Office back in the nineties I came across Al Hendrix's I.D. lanyard which had been put into a collection box. As I recall, it indicated he was working in the kitchen at a downtown Seattle hotel.

awww we always remember Jimi n we will do forever!

So humble yet glowing with pride; imagine; two UK 60's hipsters plucked by Jimi to be his band... wow... and they did us proud with their Jazz sensibility, open kit drum sound, and hip licks (Mitch) and intuitive feeling for the blues, approach notes, and walking prowess (Noel) ... honouring these guys is, to me, quite just. Jimi would have thought that too, I'm thinking. peace and thanks for insightful post !

Its fab thing an amazing band .im Lost for words iwish jimi wouldove bin thear to .😷🙏✌

@DONDIVA1969 beck and hendrix were actually close personal friends and both attended each others shows and respected each other's playing

Poor guys....they were overhelmed.... Great trio it was... my god....✌️😥😥

Wow! God bless them. And especially Jimi's dad ❤

Even in his sage years, it's unmistakably discernible that Jimi resembled his dad. So cool👍♥️☮️✌️

Noel è una persona eccezionale, ho ammirato la sua carriera anche dopo aver lasciato gli Experience. Bellissime persone

One of rock music's truly sad stories. The humanity expressed for papa Hendrix was heartwarming

That was beautiful ;)

AMAZING AND UNFORGETABLE MOMENTS OF MUSIC HISTORY ON EARTH!!!!!!

I love you Pops Al Hendrix

Jimi. Is so missed. He was a highway Chile

Great Men both of them . Everybody miss Jimi

Just heartbreaking seeing his Dad but joyful at the same time.

God bless them, all together again 🙏🥰🎶

Best rhythm section, ever.

RIP jimi hendrix 🎸🎸🎸

I'd hug his dad, And thank him for letting us know... Jimi Hendrix! 🕊️🎸🕊️

And rightfully so....these guys were the experience jimi tagged along and added his genious to it...Awesome band.

Jimi's dad did a lot of raising Jimi. So did his granny in Canada (BC). His mom got married so young and she had trouble in her life. A sad family story, but Jimi, hopefully found peace and happiness in his lifetime.

Mitch was a genius player...perfect for Hendrix...

These soft spoken men - whom you might simply pass on a street - created a genre of music. Folks continue to compare each successive era’s “great guitarist du jour” as the new Jimi Hendrix. That’s the ultimate tribute. All three guys redefined the visual and performance standard of rock and roll.

We love him too Mr. Hendrix .

Very emotional .

Rest in peace gentleman

Jimi Hendrix died the year before I was born, yet his music defined the way I felt, believed and played guitar for the rest of my life and promoted the conscience and critical thinking to resist the status quos belief that conformity provides a meaningful existence. Always in my soul 😎👍
