Jimi Hendrix Experience - Hey Joe Live (FIRST TIME) | REACTION 

Jimi didn't play the guitar, he translated to us what the guitar wanted to say.

The audience was in shock because they literally never seen someone perform at this level

Hendrix the legend..no one can or will fill his shoes.

I heard a story a long time ago about Jimi. Goes something like this. Jimi was on tour in England. Paul McCartney got a hold of Eric Clapton and wanted to go see Jimi play. Before the first song was over, McCartney leaned over to Clapton and said "This changes everything." Pretty high praise from a rock & roll legend.

Jimi Hendrix IS the greatest rock guitar player EVER.

When God was handin' out the 'cool' gene, Jimi got back in line like 500 times. Coolest cat evahhhhhhh.......

Fun fact: If you notice, his guitar is upside down. Apparently left-handed guitars were hard to come by, so he flipped over and restrung standard right-handed Fender Stratocasters.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES JIMMY WAS BEFORE HIS TIME. "When the power of love overcomes love of power the world will know peace." JIMMI HENDREX

The audience is in shock and awe while Jimi is calmly making love to his guitar. Remember they never seen anything like that. If you are in shock imagine them.

"Move over Rover and let Jimi take over!" And he did just that.LEGEND. Rest in peace,what a loss:-(

Best guitarist ever!! Just remember he used to play left handed... and back in the 60s they didn't make left handed guitars cheap back then so he used to play a right handed guitar upside down, he was fucking incredible

Shaq...man, you good people Music brings us together. Truth.

First. Finally a Jimi Hendrix song. Hey u should also react to All along the watchtower, another great one from Jimi

Woodstock! Listen to Jimmy play the star spangled banner!!!!! You'll lose your mind!!!

"I've never listened to him before, but alot of people tell me he's the greatest guitarist of all time, and I agree with them!." Wtf Shaq lol

the thing is, this track was so way ahead of its time, people didn't know how to react at the time, remember this was the first time anything like this was played/televised. he was a genius

No dude, if you want to watch a Jimi performance, you have to watch Voodoo Child @ Woodstock

Music has no color, music is music. Preach coach. That's tuff. Jimi played the guitar in ways no one else did before him. Yes he was playing with his tongue.

It's a pretty dark song, especially for the "Summer of Love" 1967.

Please do a reaction to Jimi Hendrix “Axis Bold as Love” song. It’s awesome I have actually started to listen to rap because of your videos. Thanks for the eye opening reactions, you’re the best!!!

You definitely gotta give the wind cries Mary a listen Jimi was a humble and phenomenal guitarist who was a genre bender all of his songs are timeless

Those kids were mesmerized by greatness. Nothing but greatness. React to the Star Spangled Banner!

Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze, you must see that why he called greatest guitarist In my opinion

Jimi just imprinted on all of us humans and journeyed on...he was way beyond, and those kids didn't know what they just witnessed back in 67/68!! He changed everything and left handed to boot!! 👍🏽🤜🏽

Also watch Jimi playing Wild Thing at the Monterey Pop Festival- when he humps then sets the guitar on fire.

Love Jimi.. U gotta check out Stevie Ray Vaughan now,. His biggest fan.. "Little wing" live.. Jimi wrote it and it's beautiful.. Thx for this coach

Jimi the GOAT!! Imagine what he would have accomplished if he had lived longer! Great vid Coach!!🔥🤘🏻

One of the most iconic Jimi moment is when he played the national anthem at Woodstock, check it out!! Then take it back to the mid 90's and react to (I got 5 on it (Remix) luniz)

"We are all music-lovers." - no life shaq Well said!😍😍😍 Re: the audience. Jimmy is from 2019. The white audience was from the Sixties. They were normal for the pre-LSD, pre-Woodstock Sixties. I guarantee you they were never the same after watching him that day forward.👽

For me jimi Hendrix is the greatest black artist ever. Ain't no one like jimi . We know he rocking it heaven. Long live the 27 club legend.

This reaction gave me goosebumps, watching him watch jimmy for the 1st time ! back in the day EVERYONE went to the club to see him. The Beatles, Clapton, Dylan, EVERYONE used to go see him live! It was around this time that people actually started dancing at live shows, with the coming of the Beatles and the Stones, but here, i think it was more about just never seeing anything like this before. Not so much being polite, people just didnt know how to react.

Axis bold as love. The 2nd studio album from the Jimi Hendrix experience. MASTERPIECE.

Jimi is a God, always will be. The thing that sets Jimi apart from everyone else, is he has soul, an unending amount of it. There are technical players that are faster, but it's soulless. I doubt anyone will ever do again what he did. A God. And what you said about color, it's true. Why are we so hung up on a damn color at this point in our evolution. We are human. Great video!

There will never be another Jimi he was definitely one of a kind what makes him even more fascinating is not only did he help to popularize/revolutionize the use of the electric guitar but he was also a self taught guitar player and didn't know how to read music well which only further adds to his legendary status knowing that a lot of his music was coming from his soul and the feeling he was trying to communicate he showed people the potential of an instrument and that it was much more than that it was an extension of oneself RIP to The Voodoo Child

Absolutely love Jimi, the first to use the feed back!One of my first teen crushes .

All along the watchtower next. Played a lot but still my favorite. Something about the way he plays guitar in that song.

_There was never anyone close to Jimi._ His guitar was an extension of his own body. It’s the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen in music. He was a master of his craft. *_RIP JIMI HENDRIX._*

Dude you're so cool! Couldn't agree more! We're all just people. I love all kinds of music. And Hendrix ROCKS! Love the reaction vidoes! Keep em coming

The crowd was basically in shock of what they were witnessing in that moment. Witnessing pure greatness right before their eyes!🎸🎵🎶🎼🔥

The goat. He set the standard for everyone that came after him. Even Clapton couldn’t believe how good Hendrix was. He was a force of nature

Performing cunilingus on a guitar is illegal in 12 states.

You know Jimi Hendrix lived with the Isley Brothers. Back in the day when Jimi was broke and homeless, they took him in. Jimi played with them on a few tracks. Ernie Isley talked about listening to Jimi practicing this song in his house.

Stevie Ray Vaughn has the soul like Jimi..!! Texas Flood..!!!

Oh and what a song writer. Underrated song writer, because he was so good with the guitar. All hail the King

Another HUGE factor that Jimi's the best is that he is playing a right handed guitar upside down left handed. And yes, I know hes always played left handed. That's beyond amazing and the master does it flawlessly. RIP Jimi.

Jimi live at monterey pop - wild thing... WILD THING

Whoever the f*** talked him into Hendrix rocks! Can't believe that you didn't know Hendrix though coach!

When I was a kid I seen Jimi Hendrix live on TV playing the national anthem all on guitar so at 10 years old I was so amazed that got me hooked on rock forever. Jimi Hendrix will never die and will always remain one of the great's.💯🤘💯

My first time.in serious love! When I was a kid. Heart broken he had died just before I was born!! That man played like no one else. Almost envious of the journey hell take you on. Phenomenal

There's an AMAZING three hour Jimi Hendrix documentary out there, I highly recommend it! It details his childhood, rise to fame, stardom, downfall, and legacy. Jimi was the first to really push the frontier of guitar effects and distortion and really embrace the technology that came with the electrification of guitars, and he was also a genius level-player, he could play left or right-handed guitars, he recorded some songs BACKARDS, in the short time that he was around he laid the foundation of much of hard rock and his music is still brilliant and remains standard studying material for anyone who is serious about being an electric guitarist.

Hendrix was always in the zone...his ears, my God his ears heard things we will never know

1. Love ya and your reactions from a mid 50’s old fat white guy. 2. You’re awesome. 3. Listen and react to Watchtower by Jimi. One of many songs associated with the Vietnam War era.

I really love watching your reactions. The joy you express experiencing these songs for the first time is awesome. Makes me kind of feel like discovering some of these songs for the first time all over again!

I saw Jimi in concert in SLC and the audience was white (all us hippies) and we were in awe of the man. He became a music God that night for those of us there. Ran into him again at a coffee shop as he came in for a quick meal before his flight. He was a nice guy and thanked us for telling him how much we appreciated him and his music. Was sad that he died so young.

Jimi "GOAT guitar" Hendrix.

Please react to Jimi Hendrix - Along the Watchtower

He played guitar with hands behind his back with his tongue. One handed. Alot of crazy ways. There all high on acid Coach

React to some Pink Floyd. You will be completely blown away. Comfortably numb or time

You speak the truth everyone loves Jimi, his talent, his enthusiasm, what he said, his unbelievable musicianship, his work rate, we were lucky to have him in the Uk. He will never be forgotten.

The first man to make the guitar talk. Yes, played with his teeth, behind his head.......and behind his back and between his legs. One word to describe Jimi.....GENIUS! I know. I saw him more than once live.

Loved it! People lived in the moment back then. Hell, even camera film was expensive. And the trick playing was very Rock n’ Roll! Try Foxy Lady.

He played a right handed guitar upside down that’s the real beauty of it.

*YEEEAH!* _Now THAT is what I’m talking about Shaqman! There was no one like Hendrix! Yo, if you’re doing Hendrix, then you should check out Santana too!_ 😌🙏🏼

He was opening for The Monkees ( a pop band) - so this crowd wasn’t ready for him. He left the tour in a few weeks. He was like Marty in Back to the Future in the rock guitar scene- the crowd just saw the future.

Study up on Jimi...he was an amazing man and musician. Had so much to give and no doubt would have given so much to this world and made it a much better place. A true hero.

He is a part of “the 27 club”, yes. I’d also like to note that he played a right-handed guitar left handed and was self taught,

Jimi was amazing, but one of the originators of rock & roll was actually Chuck Berry. Check out some of his tracks, "Johnny B Goode", "Maybellene" or one of my personal faves, "Promised Land". Keep on keeping on! Love the reactions!

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Voodoo Child - One Night in Texas - TRUST ME!!!!

I love watching people get there first exposure to Jimi Hendrix! Other songs of his I would recommend are, The Wind Cries Mary, Purple Haze, Foxy Lady, All Along the Watchtower and of course the Star Spangled Banner played at Woodstock Music Festival. As far as the audience, yes it was a different era, but also this is an English audience. They are kind of known for being quiet and reserved. With some exceptions it’s still kind of their thing.

Hendrix was the real deal, man. A self-taught guitarist in every sense of the word. There's a reason he's considered one of the great legends of rock 'n roll. Even if, somehow, you didn't like his music, you GOTTA respect him. I can definitely recommend y'all listen to more of his stuff sometime. 'Wind Cries Mary', 'All Along the Watchtower', 'Purple Haze', and his rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner are all classics.

Good to see a RU-vidr who looks at comments i remember recommending this. Thanks shaq

Stevie Ray Vaughn - Texas Flood - live at Mocambo

Hendrix is the Godfather of electric Guitarists. Stevie Ray Vaughn was great as well. But Hendrix changed the game. Voodoo child is just a taste of what he could do. Good choice to react to Coach. Watch his autobiography

I don't think the crowd was being polite, I think they were just stunned by Jimi's epic performance

Shaq: Look how calm he is! Jimi: Hold my guitar pick...

He's calm cause he's high AF lol,I wished I lived then man. Well for the good parts of the 60s anyway. Awesome reaction Shaq👋👋👋👋👋👌

Jimi at Woodstock is some of the greatest music I’ve heard.

You are not tripping bro they are tripping on acid

Jimi Hendrix is one of the best. The can rock a top hat or a tye dye head wrap or bandana. Legendary one of my all time favs

Man, I was just 14 when "Are You Experienced" was released. Couldn't stop listening to the entire album for months. My favorite guitarist indeed.

The most important part is he played left handed on the right handed guitar. Some who are considered absolutely great and well known will tell you they were in absolute awe when he would grab any right handed guitar and start thrashing and making it make noises they never heard before. That was part of his unique sound by using the rught hand guitar left handed. He was also fairly musocally educated. That is actually a cover and many of Jimis songs were covers. Many of them were from old Delta Blues folks that not many people had any knowledge of. They original writers and players of the songs have more exposure now due to his covers. That being said he is obviously the greatest guitarist ever period. The behind the back came from Chuck Berry if I remember correctly and some of his other moves that he made his own.

You should try out Bold as Love, my personal favorite Hendrix song.

I remember the day he died. My whole high school was in mourning.

Being quiet so we could hear everything was from genuine appreciation for the music and the musicians. It was appreciation, and it was respect. We knew we were hearing music like never before, and it was greatness!

Ohhhhh brother!!! You just done did it now!!! I was expecting you to comment negatively at how calm the reaction of the performance was but instead you commented on the civility of the crowd and how it's a generational thing. YOU ROCK!!!!

Love the reaction! You should check out Jimi Hendrix's performance of Wild Thing from the Monterey Pop Festival...spoiler alert: Jimi lights his guitar on fire at the end!

React to all along the watchtower!!

Red House or All along the watchtower

I watched a Hendrix documentary years back. They said when he woke up in the morning, he strapped his guitar on. Cooking breakfast, all throughout the day, even walking to go out with friends at night he always had his guitar locked and loaded. He would practice anytime any place. Very very few people in life have ever shown suck total dedication to a craft. Rip to a legend, but also a man who forever changed music as we know it. ☝️

"Music doesn't have a color." - Love you for that, Shaq. This is my fave Jimi song. It transcends. Jimi was self-taught on the guitar and how amazing was he? The people in that audience had no idea they were witnessing history. Please, please react to "Tomorrow Never Knows" by the Beatles. Totally out of the norm for them and really an incredible, underrated song.

Polite? I’m thinking they were actually speechless, like a being from the future of time and space appeared before them and blew their minds

7:20 His reaction killed me!

RIP JIMMY HENDRIX!!! THIS MAN USED TO USE ACID BY SOAKING HIS BANDANA IN IT,AND STILL TEAR THAT GUITAR UP!! HES A GREAT,MUSIC BRINGS US TOGETHER, WE'RE ALL FAMILY HERE AT NLG!!!!!! Love everyone!!!!

I'm Brazilian, I follow your channel, congratulations on the video, your experience feels very good.

This was 1966, before modern digital technology. This is a Fender Stratocaster plugged in, without processing. The guitarist is creating the music, period.

I miss this Shaq man I wish he would react to stuff like this still

Amazing footage man! What a song, what a performance! Thank you so much for that! Made my day!

Bro! I'm loving these vids! I'm 30 and was raised on this music! I'm same as you brother all music is great in there in ways!! Much love

He did played the hell of a guitar 🎸 My son's use to play his music all the time. One of the greatest guitarists ever.

Watching this again! Love this song by Jimi. I watch it a lot. The audience are teenagers, 1967, it's a TV show in Germany. He was ahead of his time by 50 -100 years. Amazing, gorgeous guy. Someone said it was a Monkees tour, thus the drum says Mick.
