The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Purple Haze (Live at the Atlanta Pop Festival) 

Yeah, Tim Henson.

But he is my favorite!

Yeah, John Frusciante would ask him to adopt he. But I have to recognize, Hendrix is just a legend.

Yeah at first i do not appreciate him because of his chord E7#9 that sounds abnormal for me at the beginning and his style that is noisy. But when i became a music major and understand every musicians i already understand hendrix's style and is wild. Turned out to be one of my influences in guitar as a musician he is very important and Bach of the electric guitar.

he 's like Keith Moon !!!

must've been quite amazing watching him perform

Ugh so jealous! I bet it was amazing!

@@heyitsalannaluv one benefit of being Old.

@@heyitsalannaluv you need see a dc Shot down in flames, I did not get to see Bon Scott unfortunately. Incredible. Especially today. One time I filled sa lol une bottle with 100 proof schnapps to get it in concert. Then next week I forgot and put in my eye. OMG burne

@@heyitsalannaluv one benefit of being 69 yrs old and not being in Nam.

This is so true. Like it was a part of his body. What a legend.

With hands that size, he could also do things with his thumb that simply aren't possible for others.

Search...Buckethead

@@billplaney2585 daaamn. I realized that just now

@@tomo2095 Makes one modify ones own definition of "talent" if a significant component of having it has to do with what kind of body you are born with, rather than what effort you put into mastering the particular skill.

Prince?

@@mrmrsmarshall9110naw jimi solos

Steve Vai

@@kid206511 Steve Vai looks rather uncomfortable on guitar. Have you seen the faces he makes?🥴😵🤤

He speaks guitar...

Lol yea

Way to put it😂

If I was high as my man Jimmy I would find walking hard too

Spongeboob 69 he practiced like 6 hours a day

Spongeboob 69 Sounds cool, all the more striking for his flamboyant attitude, and undisciplined nonchalance, but his fretwork is sloppy, and not anything other guitarists couldn’t do, were they high, or simply just dicking around.

i know man... we can go there with our intuitional nature now.

+RebelThoughts82 yes I do;)

+RebelThoughts82 I'm pretty sure they eventually realized how lucky they were lol...

+RebelThoughts82 i was both lucky and fortunate. i saw him twice in california; at the hollywood bowl in 68, and then at the forum in 69. everything you see on youtube is a nice reminder, but being there - no words...

+Edward Badalian (Initiate) I'm pretty sure there were some that some realized his skills as he played.

Originality. Like yourself.

Jimi did not play music it flowed from him.

Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton are the only guitarists who became ONE with their instrument. Nothing compares with them.

⁠@@TiggerToo27damn. Only them two?

Technical....Already overflowed Eddy van Halen and etc.But Jimi and his music is a statement. Top.

lethalkingkez Mitch Mitchell. The best man for the job.

Mitch was Jimi's perfect drummer. His Jazz influenced free style works so well within the 'power trio'. Buddy Miles is a great drummer, but he was all wrong for what Jimi was doing. Mitch is a very overlooked musician. Personally I think this line up was the best that Jimi had. I was never a fan of Noel Redding's playing. Billy Cox's playing was exactly what Jimi needed. Pity he wasn't there from the beginning.

Appreciate the whole 'experience' obviously hendrix kicks complete ass. Ya fault the rest of the band. I liked and it's so true, what a read few comments back. Hendrix fans are been born everyday and that will be case for a very long time

I sadly can no longer appreciate any drummer except John Bonham anymore after listening to LedZeppelin songs. The feel is just damn

Totally. Mitch Mitchell and Eddie Kramer meeting Hendrix is up there with John Lennon meeting Paul McCartney and George Martin. Mitch and Hendrix work together musically like John and Paul, but no one really notices the drummer, when the front man is playing a guitar with his teeth

Billy Cox is the bass player on this performance.

Yeah ! Rest in peace, the best of all

@@sjlyons100 That's right. Hendrix is backed by Cox and Mitchell here (half of Gypsies). This is post-Experience, and this July 4th, 1970 Atlanta set included new "solo" songs like Freedom. Interesting that "Hendrix" is not even in the video title!

great band, they are missed

What about band of Gypsy's? Why my pfp look like this performance

it can sound that way because he uses a lot of distortion but he hardly misses a note, he is the best for a reason ;)

it makes perfect sense.

emotion over precision

@@jadonclews3348 totally agree

'since' doesn't make 'sense. OK, I'm allowed to be silly and I'm seventy.

Its my favorite part. he blows us away for 30 seconds then cuts into the main riff like an extended "moan", almost as if to say, come back down to earth.

He was a very cool man. He served his country honorably and regardless of where he went, he always remained a very witty & down to Earth man

Maybe a hundred years from now you'll get it😮.

YES!!

He always improvised in his live performances. He never really played it straight. Always trying new things.

Man, his playing here is the best sound and playing he ever created on stage. He played, I think, in the key of D. Very low. It gave his creativity a burst. His playing here is beyond any existing level. It is unique.This concert is a masterpiece. Are you deaf?

There are barely mistakes. I like his improv here. His guitar playing makes me wanna punch a hole through a wall.

I didnt hear any mistakes

I know what you mean. Hendrix could play real loose and sloppy sometimes in his live shows but the guy takes chanced all over the place. He doesn't care if he makes a "mistake". He knows he's cool.

+Clashofclans1985 toca bien culero jajaja puro lil wayne

+Dilan Martinez nomames Lil es el dios d la guitarra XD

+Clashofclans1985 perfectly described.

My ears climaxed with my guitar sitting next to me. Nobody else plays when Hendrix is. We all shut up and listen. .

literally and figuratively accurate

Ya 2:11 part was funny to me.

He didnt rly smile then

Bassplayer_27 yes he smile

@@viriato197 well ok

1:55 "Purple Haze all in my eyes" *Jimi Hendrix tries to use his stand*

i love 80’s metal n all, but Jimi Hendrix’s shit is a diff type of legendary 🤷‍♂️

As a high kid in the mid 80s, and as someone who learned to play and to appreciate the guitar, metal (music) wasn't that bad; it's the imaginary dark culture and it's the unintelligible lyrics that I wasn't into. Some of the most talented guitarists went into heavy metal or came out of that sub-culture. Most heavy metal music were terrible, just like most non-heavy metal music. But, again, some of the guitar solos --- some Malmsteen speed; others average speed ---- created for heavy metal have been sublime...

@@kiabtoomlauj6249 I hated 80's metal too because back then I thought playing guitar and drums that fast along with urgent screaming vocals was just stupid. But i guess I got tired of softer rock and pop and began desiring music that sounded more extreme. But Hendrix never dies.

People 1000 years from now will say "what is this sorcery!" 🤘

he was just 2 cool 4 school. the guitar is not an instrument he plays, but he is the instrument the guitar plays to get the music out.

Same as Keith Moon with drums (at least between 1967-70 as after that he go rapidly weaken). He is projecting some 'on spectrum' vibes into the instrument, ignoring most orders of the janre. Unused to think that immigrating Moon, even for a five minute drumming session , would fail due to inability to stand it phisically but some time down the road I got to learn it was because I was (and seems like none else) not wired like him.

If he were alive today, he might be texting in between as well.

Practice. I read somewhere he'd often fall asleep still holding his guitar.

while playing a right handed guitar left handed!!!!!!!

Shit like that is so cool

Wow. That must have been something!

I was there, too. I'm still wondering about the fighter jet that buzzed the concert area..... 3:48

I was there. I lived in Georgia. 18 years old.Hendrix played Star bangle banner 4th of July night with fireworks!

He performed in a little nightclub in my home town of Ann Arbor. Pink Floyd did too. I was only about twelve years old though so I didn't go.

That too while being on multiple drugs

He truly was an outstanding guitarist

he has perfect pitch, thats why his attention to notes is superb. he also almost never not plays his guitar daily, mastering his instrument

Jimi didn't pay attention to anything you just said, analytically. Jimi just played and everything you just said, came out from him naturally.

@@imbees2 that's just false, Hendrix was a virtuoso no doubt, but he still had to learn how to play guitar, Machine Gun for exemple is full of nuances that he definally thought about.

animlk3 that’s verra nice right there

Fact!

- Albert Einstein 😂😂😂

@@Albrecht777 huh?

@@leglobonaume The original comment has been amended. David Baron (above) originally talked about how Billy Cobham was playing on this video. "Billy Cobham, I believe", he wrote. Hence my response above. You will see that his comment has since been edited, to remove all reference to Billy. [Note: I have also edited this comment, since I forgot that the original remark referred to Billy Cobham!]

@@Albrecht777 mitch is the man! am i right

@@psychedeli_ You are indeed! It's no accident that Mitch is Stewart Copeland's favourite drummmer, for instance.

Mitch Mitchells is a fucking beast, couldn't have had a more perfect match

So cool!

so cool

How pop music has declined

Kerry Masterson Kerry do you remember midday on Saturday and Spirit was playing and they stopped them to try and get 400,000 folks to back up at least a half of step, we were right in front of the stage and getting crushed, they did.

Not to put you down or anything, but wind based energy isn't all that efficient in practice, and actually kills a lot of birds who get swept up by these giant fans :( But yes, go green, end hate, spread peace and love

We could use nanoturbines which wouldn't even get in birds' way, but you're right about the large ones. ) Peace )

That sounds wonderful, I bet the optimism and vibes were infectious

He effected music for more than 40 years !!!!!! End of Story because he Did ….. Peace

And are you practicing 16 houres per day? I dont think so....

@@kubikmatejka That's right. there is a video here with interview of Billy Cox who was room mates with JH after they got out of the army, recalling how Jimi would walk around with a guitar all day even in a movie theater! That's dedication.

@@woodzeppelin3241 That's the Muse. The obsession that puts the greats into the grave faster than they should. Any musician I felt was ever touched by The Muses, it was Jimmy. There are others of course. Jimi is in a league all his own. I'd say he and The Doors were the last remnants of the soul of the '60s. I was a kid, but I do remember the times fondly. You can copy him, but there can only be one Jimi. He is a slim shady for sure. I'm sure some have already seen this performance, but it is worth watching over and over. What a great performance he gave! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gYC0CzGSGSo.html

@@michaeldefeo3030 I was very young in the 60s. I remember a hotwheels toy "Light-my Firebyrd" . Did not know who Hendrix was until years later after he died and i was in high school. Both the Doors and the Experience launched a million guitaists. Thanks for sharing the link. I saw that one already, but worth another listen to.

@@woodzeppelin3241 Oh without a doubt!

Thanks!

Woah that's cool!

What’s the name of the strap

Why do poeple spell his name More and not Mour??

There's no "ifs, ands or buts" about seeing Jimi Hendrix. Either you did or you didn't. I did. and his performance was the best musical performance I've ever seen. Period.

I do.

HEll YEAH!

Art like this will only die when humanity dies

Was actually having a bad trip on mushrooms one time when Voodoo Child came on. It took me to another universe, and I realized exactly what you are saying here, that Hendrix is not dead, because he is profoundly impacting my consciousness and communicating with me in real time through his recorded music. It's like he was there in the room, in my head, as real as any person. The experience was much more of an intuitive realization that cannot be captured in words. I just went around telling people Jimi Hendrix had taught me how to achieve immortality. The rest of my trip was a good one.

@@Reality4Peace and that's why you shouldn't do drugs, kids

@@liru6869 Lol. Well psychedelics are definitely not for everyone. And I wouldn't recommend using them as a party drug. Research has shown that when used in a structured environment with a experienced shaman they can have great therapeutic properties. Many cultures have used them ceremonially and therapeutically for millennia. Personally, I've only used psychedelics twice and not again for the past 5 years. Both times have triggered anxiety and for me it's not worth it. They're not toys. Though, I am extremely grateful for the positive experience and insights that I did have while under the influence and can say I'm a better and deeper person for it.

So she was half right?

The man was brilliant

STILL IS! KISS the SKY!

@The Amalgamator You`re quite young to have such an excellent taste of music. Respect.

I was 14 years old when I saw Jimi Hendrix at a concert in a theater where everybody smoked weed. It's the sky.

I saw Jimi at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto in 1969. We were all stoned every weekend. Those were the days.

i'm born too late

Lucky you. I was not even born!!

+VIRGILIO P #MAESTRO !! muy perfeto

Sandra MacMillan thank god

Sandra MacMillan the fact that Jimi Hendrix knows nothing about guitar theories and learned how to play it on his own is just fucking amazing.

@@jayburriswayne5403 A lot of blues n rock guitarist can't read music. They invented we need sheets to follow their lead.

Jimi was a self taught guitarist.

People will never understand why he played with a Stratocaster upside down.

i think he’s saying “i’m going to far” if you speak those words over the melody he’s playing it lines up perfectly

"Me When I'm Bored"

​@TuWE. - Working as a slave

He is responding to his guitar feeding back during that stop. That is what I see. Mouth movements do not correspond to the notes being played at all. Looks like he says "WTF is with the feedback" or WTF am I in the monitor for" Etc.

hes saying im F' ed up..Im F' ed Up

I agree, Mitch Mitchell is one of my favourites

+Gary A Me too!

were u at a concert?

+amistry605 -- No, I was watching some summer concert show on TV. At 10 years old, there's no way my parents would let me go. ha! I remember exactly where, when, and what I was doing at the time.

Legend

+jim wilson .... damn right I was there ... I remember that SSB despite the chemical impairment at the time!

Taste of Indie Collective I am trying my best to figure out what SSB stands for but I'm coming up blank..do you remember the act that came on after Hendrix and did surprisingly well considering they had to follow Jimi? I remember wishing I wasn't quite so stoned as I was wanting to remember every note. I have always told people I thought he played really good that night and was "on". Now that I've heard that night again I know I was right and wasn't just being impressed because it was him. I also went to the Atlanta Pop Festival the previous year where I saw Led Zepplin for the first time and I didn't even know who they were till they came on stage. I sure knew after that.

jim wilson SSB = Star Spangled Banner

+jim wilson If i don't die before it, i'll be 65 some day and also be 65 will suck then, (i don't know it yet) but i won't ever get to see something like that, you should be glad to be 65 now and not in 2048 like me, i didn't get to see any of those legendary bands but Black Sabbath 2 years ago, no musician that i like is under 55 years old, much of them will die before i see them, so man, i envy you for the chance you had. Congratulations

Federico Llerena Thanks but don't think so negatively..Its easy to look at today's pop scene and thinks nothing is happening in music but I think that would be a mistake. Every generation has musicians that are groundbreaking one of a kind. I never got to see Mozart or Bach. The difference is you have to sort thru all the noise to find the types that are innovative and brilliant. It doesn't have to just be in the rock world either..music is constantly morphing and there will always be some new genius come along that is special..You may have to search a little harder and they may not have millions of fans but they are out there. Stay healthy, keep learning and 65 can be the best time of life..I'm having quite a great time of it myself. Having said all that it was cool seeing Jimi and Janis Joplin 2 times and the Doors to mention just a few..

Great comment

That's true

Eddie Who?
