Cool. Cool bits. Cheltenham is where Brian Jones grew up and knocked up some young girls. He lost his younger sister when he was 3 or so. By all accounts a super conservative place. Funny how grandpa saved pics from Jimi's show or whatever. For every 10 people who saw him play or met him there are 100 that said they did.
6:33 Look at the length of Jimi's fingers. If you think you're going to be able to play even halfway as competently as him, start with having long fingers
I watched a vid that pointed out Jimi broke the neck of his guitar while smashing it through some ceiling somewhere and had to record the solo on "Purple Haze" with a Telecaster. Any more info about the solo? The time stamps of the events seems to match; must've been a hell of a ride in those early days ;)
Great narrating on a very busy "small club" tour, (To honor a contract as Chaz said) with nifty little bits that happened on the slog. Fish and Chips!!!?! Aah. Next month Purple Haze comes out. The tea kettle is getting ready to whistle. Good exposure on Jimi's thoughts about Dylan's writing at the time.
So Jimi unlocked the sonic possibilities of the Electric Guitar using blues as his canvas like all true creative geniuses he basically built his entire creative infrastructure from the ground up I mean some people do that backed by a vast wealth of Knowledge like Pablo Picasso's cubism or Igor Stravinsky with the Rite of Spring and some folks accomplish the same thing in a smaller way in a more autodidactic way like Joni Mitchell and Jimi Hendrix or Jaco Pastorious. Now for years I was sure that someone would take those sonic Guitar possibilties into jazz. I guess you could point to Tejre Rypdal but it never really happened. I'd like to add what Hendrix and Coltrane had in common was an extreme hungry creative honesty.
That video is a bonus extra on the DVD "The Jimi Hendrix Experience Live at Monterey" they do Like a Rolling Stone and Stone Free. Jimi is wearing the fancy military jacket.
“Why does it have to be chips with everything?” 🤣🤣🤣 Welcome to England Jimi! Why didn’t you go to an Indian restaurant, or Chinese, or a hotel restaurant. You should’ve spent your money on fine food and not drugs! You Hippies!
@@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW You mean you’re just a bunch of raving hippies! But thanks for replying anyway. I understand bc I used to be a raving hippy myself, until I started to grow my brain. On a more positive note, I wrote a little song yesterday. It’s the same music as Sgt Pepper’s lonely hearts club band, but the words go; We’re soo happy and gay and free coz we’ve got more honey than a bumblebee! We’ve got more bunny than a bandicoot coz we’re funnier than a chicken foot! I thought about singing “I’m” instead of “We’re” and that’s how I sing it to myself, but either way is equally fine and that’s as far as I’ve got with it.
If someone could wrest away the rights from the con artist "sister" and allow the real fans real glimpses I would cheer them on and even help. You can help by not buying anything Hendrix.
Chelmsford corn exchange. Against mods came in, The mod problem. Mocker's dominated rockers?? (Brain May)said he saw 'the who' 60s. Big fight, said he was defending( i forget) Rockers i think? Not 100% sure. He picked up the chair he was sitting on, ready to defend himself. I can only imagine the who' shows mid late 60s probably violent. Not everyshow. i have no idea, im assuming because 'The who' were heavy band.
Hey Joe was all he had done at this time , He came to the Trout beck hotel at Ilkley west Yorkshire , it was a regular Sunday hight blues gig. The place was packed, he played one number unrecognisable then mr plod this stupid copper came and stopped the show saying too many people were in for safety, some say it was a riot but I say not !, I know a couple of pictures were nicked off the walls , we didnt even get our 10 shillings back, I was a hot head and drove my MG up the hill like a twat and smashed it up! Happy days
❤we all have a bumpy road starting out sometimes but my hero kept goin never giving in to the misalignment of the planets because jimmy was from another planet and had the mind to break on through and blow our minds with added pedals and a wah and what new sounds he made they put down some dam good music in a very short 4 years if he continued we can only imagine what he would have blown our ears with ❤
Hi Robbie, I'm sorry about that, but it is the most efficient means at my disposal. I do agree, a human voice would be preferable. Unless you're a professional, narrating is quite difficult. Thanks for your feedback. Cheers!
Good video Nice info. Thanks. 😊😊. All i know is Jimi loved to play guitar to deal with life. Heard he had a bad childhood. Neglected 😢😢 He was way beyond his years. One of the best, if not the Best ❤️🙏💯🎸🎸✌️✌️. SRV too ❤️🙏💯🎸🎸
Great series of videos very insightful and well produced! I guess the Exp Hen's pulled the RU-vid video so thanks for the Facebook post I've never seen that footage and enjoyed it very much. !!!!oxo
@@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW True. I'm sounding like one of those people about which my dad and mom used to say "he thinks his sh** don't stink." Jimi, Noel, and Mitch were payin some heavy dues in those early days. They were a little more worried about having enough to EAT!!
Absorbed. Totally. His fingers are like boney long tentacles! So much to take in here, brother. So much pain in this period- like he made it to this point by the skin off his teeth- and he's a rollin' stone but more like a drifter who gives his pound 20 cent away or whatever to some cat at the door and slips back on into the night. Crazy. One more thing: that sunburst Strat knock-off he holding in some of those shots is so cheap ...It's probably a Kay. But hey...muthafu@ka can play. Good stuff man. ThNK YOU.
I wonder how long it will take for Jimi Hendrix and his music to be thought of as 'old hat', irrelevant or uncool (which is how I think of Elvis, Frank Sinatra and many other former greats). There doesn't seem to be any sign of it happening with Jimi in the 53 years since he died.
Hi MrDino, very interesting question. In my opinion, the source of Jimi's creativity and gift to the world was deep and powerful, as his music attests. This is a question that deserves further exploration, which I hope to do. Many thanks!
Sum peephole, hear Jimi azz old muzak, bcause itz Rock. They r n2 EDM, or Death Metal. Rock iz old hat. I hear da future, n Jimi. Sonic possibilitiez, nobody will ever xplore again, bcause they were sonicz, unique 2 Jimi. U have nfluenced guyz, like Uli Roth, Eric Johnson, Vernon Reid, Prince, or Stevie Ray Vaughn. They all cover different aspectz of Jimiz brilliance, BUTT nobody will EVER b him, or have da knowledge dat seemz 2 b unique 2 his unique brain.
