I stumbled onto your channel about a month or so ago. In my 40 years of listening, reading and trying to find every photo I can on Jimi this channel has to be the most researched informative place that I've ever seen on Jimi. I just love this kind of thing where you track his month to month activities. The amount of research that went into this series is amazing. It sounds kinda weird but everything I see a new pic of Jimi and I've seen alot over the years it gives me that thrill almost like it get just a little close to him than before. It's hard to describe. Im amazed at all the pics that I haven't seen. For someone with such a short career it kinda show you that people really knew just how important this guy was! Love this channel and keep ups the great work!!!
Wow, thankyou so much for those words! I totally agree with you, I thought I'd seen it all, and so it's exciting putting each episode together. Plenty more to come! Cheers.
Yes ,that black pick scratch guard part on one if the fenders he's playing is black and white on the outside (flying v and white and the other black fender is the only ones I saw him on stage with )
@@waynesilverman3048 Yes you are correct, as the story approaches the inevitable ending, which we all know, Jimi didn't, it is tinged with feelings of loss and sadness. However, his story is anything but that!
Jimi's music has had such an impact on my life. I discovered Hendrix's music when I was in 7th grade and he had already been gone for over a decade. I didn't listen to anything else for the next 6+ years. Nothing but Jimi's music for the next 6 years. I bought every album I could, bootlegs and all, and read everything on him I could. I was obsessed! I would listen to tracks and try decipher exactly what he was doing. Once I found bootleg VHS concerts I was in awe at what Jimi could do. I went to guitar shows just to buy bootleg videos of Jimi. My prize videos were Atlanta Pop, Royal Albert Hall, Monterey Pop, and NYE Fillmore shows. I watched each one a minimum of 100 times. Now that I could see what Jimi's hands were doing it seemed even more of a beautiful mystery what he was capable of creating. Now kids can just watch a RU-vid video, but in 1980s it was a treasure hunt. I was a Jimi Hendrix VHS treasure hunter! Lol I still have all my albums, VHS, magazines, and books of Jimi. They bring so many great memories when I see them in the closet looking for something in there. I am 15 again for a split second.
"1983" is probably my single favourite Jimi song - if I had to be forced to choose one, that is. I had always assumed that the line you quote was about Kathy Etchingham. Judging by some interviews with her, I think Kathy presumes so, too. It'll be interesting to see what additional information Belly_Button_Window digs up on the Swedish Catharina in later episodes.
I'm Crazy about this Channel. It's extremely Nostalgic and informative. I have read over five books on Jimi, including a letter and post card book "In his Own Words". Several documentaries including the Band of Gypsies. This is so complete and detailed It's fascinating.
I saw Jimi twice at The Boston Garden, Nov 1968 and June 1970. I was 12 years old at the June 27 show. The Boston police had saw horses blocking the front of stage. The only people inside the blocked area were police and official press. I was sitting in the first balcony with my older cousin who took me to the show. Before Hendrix came on my cousin suggested that because I was young, if I asked one of the police officers to let me inside the front of stage area to take photos, they probably would. Well, I asked, and they did indeed let me in. However soon thereafter, the audience rushed the stage and I was pinned against the stage right under Hendrix. So I watched the entire show with Hendrix sweating on me when he played at the edge of the stage, and I took my photos. Today I am 66 years old. I still have the photos (very faded) and my ticket stub from June 27, 1970. I also have a lifetime of playing guitar in New England based bands as a result of experiencing Hendrix in person as a young boy. As old as I am now, my memories of Hendrix in person remain vivid. In my mind, he was genuinely an unworldly spirit. Thank you for creating this series.
Man, its great to hear the origin story of Tax Free. I had always thought he was kidding about those Hanson and Carlson cats when he would introduce that jam on other well known live recordings. Thanks for your work in putting this out.
Now I know who Hanson & Carlson were; introduced on the 1968 Winterland album.. . Tax Free song - very heavy, real excellent song (turn up the sound!!!!!!!)
Fantastic and meticulous detail, amazing photos and infoirmative reviews from the period. This series is truly unique, and a genuine tour de force. Thank you, as always!
I've told my friends about your wonderful channel about Jimi Hendrix. Jimi is the artist that got me into rock music & it was the song Purple Haze that did it. Got the 45 of Purple Haze & Foxy Lady 1st then the Smash Hits album followed by Are You Experienced, Electric Ladyland, Axis:Bold As Love & down the rabbit hole of albums released after his death. I look forward to each episode & they go by so fast. Thank you for the great job you do.
Very nice Jimi video, once again. I seem to be getting the message of a new release a few hours late. I usually stay up until nearly dawn, here in Los Angeles, and I used to get the message what seemed like a few minutes after you posted... the last couple have said something like posted '10-12 hours ago'.... and I don't see them until after sleeping, which means after 12 noon here... and they now say posted 10-12 hours ago. That's okay,... I'll still find them. I never get tired of Jimi. Nicely put together and fun to watch!!!
Thankyou for your kind words, but also for pointing this out. I will try to ensure that future episodes are released with the US time in mind. Appreciate your comments!
@@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW Oh, I don't think it's your fault, I should've gotten the notice before I went to bed... I just thought it was odd, that when I got back on line it was only about 8 or 9 hours after quitting the night before... yet, according to what it said here, your video was posted a couple of hours before I shut down, and I didn't get the message until I got back on line the next day. I blame Ytube and their strange algorithms that sometimes don't make sense.
Can’t believe it’s been so long since Jimi’s passing. He is one of the greatest of all time. Every song is legendary and there is so much to discover in so little time.
Another great episode just when you think it couldn't get any better!!! Thank you for your hard work, can't hardly wait to hear the next one. "Keeping Jimi's Spirit Alive"
Thank you so much for all your hard work producing these videos. So much great history. Always loved the recordings that have come out from the shows in Sweden.
Don't worry my friend, we will most certainly continue with our deep dive into Jimi's life and times. As you suggest, there is much, much more to be told! Thank you for your interest, and stay tuned. Cheers!
That's probably a different song, same title. The one Jimi played was actually a hit in '64, although Jimi, himself, was unknown until he went to England in Sept 66.
Will you please do a segment on Jimi's last year, beginning with the leadup to the April, 1970 launch of "The Cry of Love Tour" at the Inglewood (L.A.) Forum? The only items from that show, which I attended, I have ever seen in 53 years since, are 3 monochrome photos and the RubberDubber audio off Jimi's full performance. I have wondered for decades if the closed-circuit video projected behind the band (for "the cheap seats) was ever printed to tape. He was in one of the best moods I have ever seen. He had just been preceeded by his long-time pal, Buddy Miles'...Express. Hey Baby, which he announced as, "sort of an intermission" was a melodic side of him we seldom experienced in live recordings, reminiscent of the May This Be Love solo
Love it thank you!!🎶🎶🎶 I saw Jimi on TV 7-7-69 on the dick cavet show I was 12 but I was drawn in by what he was wearing and when he played with the dick cavet house band hear my train a common and played with his teeth I was instantly a 12 yr old groupy of Jimi I've loved him ever since Still Do!!!! He's the reason I wanted to play guitar ive always loved music but never thought of the guitar by itself until I saw Jimi on TV at 12yrs old that and hearing smash hits album stone free plus sitting on that black and white horse I was a bonaza fan I thought that's little Joe's horse!!! I bought a acoustic guitar 20 dollars at the store Ive been in love with Jimi spiritually and musically too this day I'm 66 like they say you never forget your first love love you Jimi!🎶🎶🎶✨✨✨🎶🎸🎶🎷🎵🎶😀💟🎶✨✨✨✨
Wow! In order to produce these episodes, with as much imagery as possible requires searching the net. Please send me an email with the details and in due course I shall make the appropriate acknowledgements. Thank you so much!
I can also tell you that he opened the second show in Karlstad on may 9 with ”Sgt Pepper”! which surpriced us all in the audience! He also played ”Burning of the midnight lamp” and said it was the second time he played it live.
He was 24 going on 25 years old in 1967, seen so many examples where his age was said to be 3 years younger than what he was such as news stories when he died having his age as 24 and not 27. I wonder if the management 'reduced' his age when they brought him to London.
@@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW Thanks and much appreciation for the videos. Back in the 80s I used to have a collection of 1960s NMEs, Melody Makers and I think Record Mirrors including Hendrix articles from the time. Your videos capture the freshness, authenticity and immediacy of those articles. I wished I had kept them but my mum had a clear out without telling me and they were lost.
Hello my friend so happy to hear from you again, mad photo's most I haven't seen. and jimi's clothes way way ahead of its time, he's travelling through time in style, did jimi's dad have 7 fingers on both hands ? thank you much gratitude, big loud cheers to you my friend
Sure, but strangely, when under to deliver, Jimi never failed to rise to the occasion, and as we shall see, in the absence of some semblance of discipline things start to fall apart. That's life I guess? Thanks for your contribution!
I've been waiting for this episode I love how you go into depth and detail about Hendrix 👍🎛️😩🎸🔥🎛️ man I absolutely love your channel wow I've learned so much that I never really knew about Hendrix I've been a lifelong fan of Hendrix ever since the seventies when I was a kid thanks to my dad lol
I really appreciate your acknowledgement, as that is precisely what we hoped to bring. As the story progresses, one almost gets to vicariously experience his extraordinary life. Best wishes!
