Jimi Hendrix’s was the most anticipated Woodstock performance, but by the time he and his newly formed band, Gypsy Sun & Rainbows, started their two-hour set at 9:00 a.m. Monday morning, the half-million-person audience was down to roughly 40,000. Those who stayed for the festival finale witnessed one of the most memorable and legendary performances of the entire decade.

@TangoNevada 2 года назад

Hendrix's the root of a tree that brought forth many branches. SRV was probably the Trunk. Clearly more than just inspired by Hendrix. To me it's more like SRV picked up the torch and carried it on with his own sound, tone and style. His Hendrix inspiration is obvious, but he definitely had his own style as well.

@peteblackburn7850 3 месяца назад

The most impressive thing about Jimi, is that he really didn't have anyone to rip off the way every guitar player has had since him. I swear Jimi is not only the greatest guitar player of all time, he's likely the biggest victim of theft in all of human history. Because every guitar player since, has unrelentingly taken from him. Thanks Jimi!

@user-zh9zb9si8n Месяц назад

Exactly Correct!! My opinion is, there was just guitars before Jimi. When Jimi exploded our minds, Guitar became ELECTRIC!!!! I got to know Mike Finnegan who played most of the Hammond B3 parts on Electric Lady LAND. Learned some stuff from him. Finnegan even toured with him after E.L.L.... Besides The Beatles, no one comes close to the impact Hendrix had on Music!!

@heavenlyguitar5913 7 месяцев назад

At the 6:20 mark the people who released this cut out approximately eight to ten minutes and jumped it the part before the Star Spangled Banner. He then goes straight into Purple Haze and then another guitar solo where once again a huge portion gets chopped out and they go into Villanueva Junction Blues. They cut a lot out of this performance. I’m pretty sure the official release by his estate will have in its entirety.

The best live performance of Jimi Hendrix, which shows his true greatness, is “Machine Gun” by Band of Gypsies. It’s only him, a bass player and a drummer. They set a steady beat and bass line and he does EVERYTHING else. There is a video on RU-vid that’s hazy and there’s one with audio only, but the best sound quality is from the Band of Gypsies album itself. All three are the same performance at the Fillmore East. It’s a bit long but worth it. It’s important to remember that Jimi did not have the advanced technology we have today. He did it with feedback and virtuosity. I hope you’ll give it a shot.

But I also love he never set out to write the latest hit or told what to do by record labels - he wrote and did whatever he wanted and in the meantime completely changed how a guitar could be used in music. He would’ve been 78 years old and just thinking what he could’ve done if he’d lived is mind blowing.

The intro is cut off. That’s one of the best parts of the song! Jimi’s use of the wah pedal is masterful. And, yes Amber! Jimi was using his teeth to pick the last section of the song. Haha! You saw it!

@ralpholson7616 2 года назад

Everyone listens to SRV's version. About time someone reacted to Jimi's version. Please listen to the original long version (not the slight return) from the Electric Ladyland album. Had a very young Steve Winwood on keys.

@darrylguerrant5101 2 года назад

That's the one where Jimi invited Jazz Rock guitarist Larry Coryell, RIP to record that song with him. Coryell turned him down because he felt Jimi had done everything.

IMAGINE leaning on the right side of the stage, just 6-10 feet from JIMI, in Miami Rock Festival. Or being inside a gutted out bowing alley turned into The Image music club, sitting on the floor, 20 feet from CREAM. And the tickets were $3.00!

You must do Jimi Hendrix song titled Fire , amazing, and don’t forget to listen to the amazing drummer on that song, do the studio version, don’t wait, don’t hesitate, just do it, Jimi deserves the time ! 👍 love your channel 😎

@joshs4594 2 года назад

If you really, REALLY want to hear Jimi at the absolute top of his game in the studio, type in the words, "hendrix" "house" "burning" "down" and listen to the song "House Burning Down." The song was recorded in 1968(!) with all analog equipment. A must listen if ever there was one. 🎸

When I was in college in the mid 80s, I interned at a very eclectic radio station in San Francisco and I often got to meet amazing musicians. In addition to B.B. King and a few others, I did get to meet Ritchie Havens. He was very nice and had such a peaceful, lovely vibe about him.

@samblethen 2 года назад

Lots of us had already left because of the bad weather by the time Hendrix played. There were only around 50,000 who stayed. Another great performance of this was his concert in Maui 1970.

@pauljansen1137 2 года назад

So many songs to hear when it comes to Jimi...how about "Castles Made of Sand"?

@johnburke5087 2 года назад

YES! Castles made of sand, Little Wing, All along the watch tower The wind cries Mary. All great songs. Then we can get into the psychedelic with Purple Haze, Foxy Lady, and Fire. Then there is "are you experienced" that's just sexy and star spangled banner that is incredible! So much good music! A talent with a beautiful sound gone too soon

@bobschenkel7921 2 года назад

By the time Jimi Hendrix hit the stage on Monday morning, most of the crowd had departed. Maybe only 10,000 people, out of the 400,000 that were there Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Only the really brave and determined made it through to Monday. But Jimi rocked out non the less, as usual.

@jefffiore7869 2 года назад

He was the closer for Woodstock. because of rain, he performed on Monday morning when a lot of people already left. SRV said without Hendrix there would be no SRV.

@gotham61 2 года назад

Jimi didn't play until Monday morning after most of the crowd had already gone home. There was an estimated 25-40 thousand people left, so the people still there could move around pretty easily.

@pulsarlights2825 2 года назад

...and The Who went on at 5am or some shit, the promoters really messed up the timing of the two best acts there.

@gotham61 2 года назад

@@pulsarlights2825 The whole event pretty much devolved into chaos from the start, but nobody there really cared. The organizers offered Hendrix an opportunity to move up his slot, but he insisted on going on last no matter what. It's not accurate to think that The Who were the #2 act on the bill. Blood Sweat and Tears was the second highest paid band after Hendrix, followed by Joan Baez, Creedence Clearwater, Jefferson Airplane, The Band, and Janis Joplin who all got more than The Who.

@pulsarlights2825 2 года назад

@@gotham61 The Who were not really "The Who" yet, the band they eventually became. Woodstock was only 4 months or so after Tommy was released, so I see your point. The whole show was a cluster, I think they lost money on the festival initially but they made it back from the film....

Jimi is an absolute legend. Try Stone Free, All Along The Watchtower, Foxy Lady or Little Wing. Actually you can't go wrong with any of his songs.

Go back and watch the movie "Woodstock". I was supposed to go, but I couldn't afford to lose my job. So I passed on the chance. Passed on Altamont, too, but I heard on the radio what kind of violence took place that time. Woodstock was a first for a 3 day concert festival. It was 3 days of rain, mud, very limited services, but also huge numbers of people cooperating to get through, eat and party while listening to absolutely world class music by both stars of the day and future icons. Everybody from Jefferson Airplane to Santana, the band. Country Joe & the Fish to Crosby, stills & Nash. And, of course as you noted here, one morning they were greeted with the most iconic guitarist ever playing the national anthem in a way no one had ever heard before.

@m.ericwatson968 2 года назад

And the crowd had been there for a couple days, high af smoking the reefer and flipping chickens on lsd, Jimi played early Sunday morning, that audience were just pummeled with his brilliance and a full band who were all killing it, a truly historic concert.

This song was used on the movie Under siege with Steven Seagal & Timmy Lee Jones 😎👌🎸 Top 5 1 BB king 2 John Lee Hooker 3 Jimi Hendrix 4 Stevie Ray Vaughan 5 Eddie Van Halen also honourary mentions too Eric Clapton & Jeff Beck. So many great ones to mention guys.😎👌🎸❤️

Jimi was asked," whats it like to be the worlds best guitar player ? " he replied "I dont know ask RORY GALLAGHER" so check him out I was fortunate to see the late great Irish guitarist twice , would recommend Shadow Play , Back in your Town, or Bullfrog Blues .

@randynixon5059 2 года назад

I love watching you kids every single day. I’m retired and Hendrix was like a God in 69. He was in the 101st Airborne with my father in the late 50s, early 60s. You may have already noticed that he’s a left handed who played a right hand guitar flipped over with Strings reverse order. You can’t see anyone exactly replicate his sound. Keep rocking. Peace!

@naenae796 2 года назад

Jimi’s performance at Woodstock was spectacular ! Hearing it sober is one thing , but can’t imagine what it was like for those who were tripping !

@jonhenke1504 2 года назад

I think the most amazing thing about Jimi Hendrix is he's playing a right handed guitar upside down as a left-hander! That has to be the main contributing factor why he has his own sound and style!

@Deepthoughtsabound 2 года назад

This is VooDoo Chile "slight return". The full version is an insane blues riff that's about 15 minutes. A Texas blues man named Stevie Ray Vaughan did an amazing job playing this too.

@christopherfoerstel9116 2 года назад

You guys have to check out Jimi Hendrix- 12 String Blues... it's an incredibly close video with the master. Just a 1-on-1 interview while he absolutely shreds. Crazy to see how casual he is while playing mesmerizing stuff. Love the reaction as always!

@lindagaudin9546 2 года назад

Oh my gosh, that brought back so many happy hippie days memories!! There are great guitar players, but he is “The Guitar God” in my book! Raw, nasty, hard, it’s like him & his guitar become one or something. So hard to put it in words what the experience is like when you listen & watch him play! Janis = voice & Jimi = guitar! Both lost too damn early!! Just try to consider what else they could have brought us! Blows your mind, right! Oh, what an great time to be young, a hippie in love with this musical era!! ♥️The old white hippie woman♥️

Another great Woodstock perfomance was Ten Years After "Going Home". Check it out you will be blown away

@jeffkatt 2 года назад

Jimi was a "MONSTER" at Woodstock! You should check out his performance of "Machine Gun" live with The Band Of Gypsys at the Filmore East in New York on New Years Eve 69/70. Band Of Gypsys was an all black band with Billy Cox on bass and Buddy Miles on drums. In fact, Billy Cox who was an old army buddy of Jimi's is playing bass in this performance at Woodstock. I wish you would react to "Brother To Brother" by Canadian singer/musician Gino Vannelli. The album version of the same title. His voice and musical arrangements are phenomenal! I promise you won't be disappointed! ❤️

I saw Jimi at the Troy Armory around late 67 or early 68. I was 10 y.o., my father owned a sound company, and he was dropping off a couple of mics to the venue and we went to the dressing room and met Jimi. From then on, I have been a fan and collector. What a show he put on. How fortunate I was but the best was when I went to Woodstock w/ my father and sister and saw him Monday morning. There will never be another like him. P.S. I have the whole Woodstock concert with every preformer on Reel to Reels. Woodstock Complete doesnt even come close to what I have. Too bad I cant legally sell it but who cares.

@marcycat Год назад

I spoke with Leon Hendrix, Jimis brother, when I lived in Palm Springs CA. I asked him what was something he remembered about Jimi when they were kids. He said Jimi would pretend play the broom in place of a guitar because it was all he had at that time.

@the_vile_one. 2 года назад

I personally became a bigger fan when he played with Band of Gypsys with Billy Cox and Buddy Miles. I feel like he was playing more harmoniously with those guys. The Experience was amazing, but lacked an organic quality. Just my opinion. Either way, he was the king...still wish he was here to amaze us today.

@bluetopguitar1104 2 года назад

I liked the band with Billy and Mitch on the drums. You can't go wrong with Jimi.

@recoil53 2 года назад

There is a legend that before Jimi died, he and Miles Davis were going to team up. They rented an apartment to jam in and wanted Paul McCartney for bass. They wrote the Beatles manager, who killed the message before Paul got it. Just imagine, a Jazz Goat, a Blues-Rock Goat, and a Rock Goat.
