US Hendrix News Conference 

Jimi Hendrix had so much more to say to the world. I wish we could have heard it.

“when the power of love is greater than the love of power, the world will know peace”. -Jimi Hendrix.

What a beautiful human being, Peace

Such a cool and intelligent person he was.. Even without his guitar he say`s more than alot of other musicians

Humble , polite , intelligent and with humor, plus the musical talent ... Jimi had it all together !! 50 years after he still warms our souls ...!!

A lot of people say he had the look of both a lost child and someone who knew something that he was aware others didn’t know. Very true.

Died at 27 but his influence and impact on culture and art will be infinite.

Grew up amidst poverty, physical abuse, domestic violence, abandonment, and racism, and despite all of this, a beautiful, intelligent, sensitive and gifted young man grew into adulthood and proceeded to follow his dream - to play music and share his gift with others. Period. He was Black. He also was native American and very proud of his heritage. Music was his gift to the world. That, and his beautiful spirit.

“I mean, seven dollars is a lot of money.” That’s someone who never forgot where he came from.

Theres a deep sadness in Jimi, probably what made him so open.

A man this talented, full of wisdom and kindness, didn’t deserve his fate. But he will forever... be the greatest electric guitarist.

Jimi was a beautiful soul.

I have been in love with Jimi for over 50 years, and still get goosebumps when listening to his music. MISS YOU JIMI!

What a special gift Jimi was. Polite, humble, caring, intelligent. just a rare and peaceful soul. He accomplished more with a guitar in twelve short years than anyone else will in an entire lifetime.. RIP Jimi.

He was beautiful inside out,very spiritual & so talented.Miss his creativity & gentle soul.

What a lovely humble man he was. Musical genius.

He died at only 27 but his name will live on forever. Thank you, Jimmy!

I was 15 years old when we lost Jimi, I'm never going to recover from the shock and sadness, the man was beautiful, his music was wonderful, his talent was sublime . . . Rest in peace James Marshall . . . Rest in peace . .

Jimi Is Alive in all of the Comments made by aéveryone I now realize we didn't lose him. He is inside of the People who Loved Him. Thats a Beautiful thing, you know.

What a handsome man he was 😍😗😢 Rest In Peace Angel 💕💕 #LoveYouJimiHendrix

Mr. Hendrix was beautiful, genius and cool. A lovely person.

The most interesting person. He literally seems so lost in his thoughts that he could never truly express who he is, we're left with this mysterious legacy. He seems distracted and unclear sometimes but he was a visionary, we just didn't have the chance to see through the fog

Jimi was such an elegant & inspired human being

Saw Jimi at the Seattle Center Coliseum. I got drafted in 1969. Read about him dying while I was overseas. Been missing him ever since.

Out of All the interviews I've ever seen with Jimi Hendrix I never once saw him get upset or angry, jimis soul was a peaceful one that's for sure.

I love how musicians like Hendrix, without even intending to primarily, became symbols of black empowerment. Look at those beautiful black women sitting there, most likely being part of his management/PR team, I think people like him, Rosetta Tharpe, Chuck Berry and so on, are overlooked in terms of their impact not only in music, but in history.

Jimi the man my dad freaking loved this man to he had every jimi memorabilia it's a damn shame he never got to live a full happy life he was way to young he would be a great mentor for artists today

He was rhythnic even when he said "you know".amazing

It's hard to believe that Jimi has been gone for more than 50 years. God bless your soul Jimi Hendrix. You are deeply missed.

Jimi Hendrix was NOT a drug addict.

his music is amazing to hear today as it was back in his time. He is timeless.

"Everybody thinks that something is gonna go haywire or something but that's always brought on by the police. Always." - 1970...or 2020?

🎼🎸Jimi Hendrix a rock n roll legend I remember my first Jimi Hendrix album my dad and mom brought for me it was Jimi Hendrix live at the Monterey Pop festival one side A was Otis Redding live and the other side B was Jimi Hendrix it turned out to be my favorite album and my collection and that will be the day my parents never got any rest from me playing it over and over again if any record label have this album it needs to be remastered for CD AP I enjoyed this interview thanks for posting👏👏👏👏

Nobody could truly stop Jimi besides himself...his mindset was truly on another level. So inspiring. Forever with love brother Hendrix!

Every interview i saw he is as humble as he is deep and very intelligent and all this full of kindness and open mind...amazing men..!!!

This is a rare clip of Jimi - thanks for sharing.

Reporter: "what's it like being the greatest guitar player that ever lived?" Jimi: "yeah it's pretty cool man I suppose"

I don't know how to explain Hendrix. He was a proud black man, he could talk about MLK and the injustices of racism faced by black people, and yet he was so above black or white. He was an individual of such substance that I cry when I watch these videos and realize how short his creative moment was. Damn.

"I mean, seven dollars is a lot of money" - amazing ;)

Never seen this before! Jimi comes over as a serene statesman. Wish he stuck with us for a while longer.

Spoken like a true gentleman that’s what jimi was kind gentle and humble. He was just warming up imagine what he would have done if he had more time on earth

JIMI WAS A KIND SOUL. HE'S STILL MISSED AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

Amazing clips of Jimi Hendrix! ICONIC, UNIQUE and INNOVATIVE musician/artist. Jimi will always be the greatest guitarist the world has ever seen!

Such good energy, that's what makes him the greatest

4:45 deep deep deep... people like this man are out of this world. His lyrics reflected that. He was here to experience, also teach then leave. 🙏🏽

This man wasn't the constant 24/7 stoner that the media made him out to be, he most certainly doesn't appear that way here at all.

Jimi had a lot of weight on his shoulders dealing with the politics of the day including MLK's assassination which affected him deeply. All he wanted to do was play the blues.

Rest in peace jimi ur an amzing soul who was to good for this cruel place

Thank you Jimi Hendrix for all that you have done for our World, thank you🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Painfully shy polite and incomplete without his guitar.. but a super hero some kind of God or musical demon with his guitar..

Interesting to note that 48 years ago Hendrix made an artistic statement political with his Woodstock national anthem. It sparked controversy for the first time then, as we're seeing now in the NFL. Jimi was such a trailblazer and one of America's greatest citizens.

He was and is the best guitarist that has ever walked the face of the earth!What a beautiful genius of a man. Beautiful soul!

Seems to know him was to love him. A gentle soul with genius talent. Gone much too soon. RIP.

Beyond words...🌹🌹🌹 Still my greatest guy ever, and my dad..

He sounds pretty damn intelligent here.

He sometimes has a child’s smile. So moving.

"They" knew jimi hendrix had the enlightened energy the brought everyone in with unity no matter race or ethnicity, so "they" wanted to prevent jimi's ray of conciousness colors paint the minds of the listeners.

Jimi slapped me five at providence civic arena I was 14. Seen him 4 times, Framingham music circus, Boston gardens twice and providence RI. My man.

He will always live on and love on

I actually like the way this video is presented, how there's a short break (hearing those "rice krispies" pops)in between Hendrix talking. I Love old videos.

brilliant virtuoso musician, golden hearted star man, yes, may we repeat and consider, deeply, and, surely, per Jimi's many many many many words... a golden hearted STAR MAN of the Living LIGHT. we miss you, Jimi, we LOVE you

What a Super Genius !

This was September 5th,1969......not 1970

Don't agree with the comments treating his death as a tragedy too early and don't think this dude would want pity. He nailed it and lives on as a legend - just enjoy the music he's blessed us with

Jimi Hendrix. A beauty. An inspiration. A true legend.

He looks like such a baby, so impossibly young. ☺💖

JAMES MARSHALL HENDRIX (November 27th, 1942 - September 18th, 1970). I was seventeen years old when Jimi left us. Fortunately, I was able to catch him on "The Dick Cavett Show" on ABC-TV, long before its availability commercially on VHS and DVD. Jimi will be gone for forty-seven years this year on September 18th. Six albums were released during his lifetime: ARE YOU EXPERIENCED?, AXIS: BOLD AS LOVE, ELECTRIC LADYLAND, THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE SMASH HITS, BAND OF GYPSYS and HISTORIC PERFORMANCES RECORDED AT THE MONTEREY INTERNATIONAL POP FESTIVAL: THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE/OTIS REDDING. I bought all six LPs during Jimi's lifetime...I still have them, today! In near mint condition!!!

He was so beautiful, gone too soon . Have fun when you kiss the sky jimi 💛

I've been a fan since childhood and Surpassed his years by 10. and now I can appreciate haw intelligent he was wisdom beyond his years

Respectful and graceful Jimi...unlike today's wandering stars..

Good interview.Jimi was a real ladies man

Saw him that year May 1970 Cactus Steve Miller Grateful Dead Jimi Hendrix Temple Stadium, Phila, Pa.

Jimi Hendrix, is what the world needs today♥️🙏🇺🇸

Mr. James Marshall Hendrix !!!!

That was really nice. First time seeing and hearing him speak. I thought he was a kind, loving, sensitive, soul now I'm convinced. He didnt have a rats ass of surviving long term in this world. So sad. Same with Janis she once stated she made love to thousands singing and she went home alone. Alot of musicians have bit the dust. Oh and Prince, i think they cared more about giving to their fans than they did about themselves.RIP all the musians who have ended in such an emotional place they couldn't survive. And woe to those who joined in the madness and didn't care enough to help them the cold callused hearts. Probably money grubbers.

This man had incredible talent as a guitarist. To this is very day in the year 2020 there is no one that even comes close to Jimi Hendrix. It’s just a shame that he died so young.

He is a master because he was enlightened to the truth. Music is life, and always alive.

Do this day, 50 years later, there has never been another person like Jimi. Not even close.

Why, in my 52 years of being alive, have I only just seen this? Thanks for uploading.

Love this. So glad this exists

Rest in Black Power Jimi 🖤

Jimi was a musical genius like Mozart or Beethoven.

What a darling man he was. Jimi was actually quite shy and introverted. Jimi's gone because nobody had his back. Why didn't anybody EVER ask him if he was OKAY? How are you feeling? Jimi didn't have one single loyal friend, not ONE. We ALL need somebody we call can at 3-4 in the morn when we feelin blue. Beautiful man.....

Lots of editing here, seems to be deliberately cutting off what he's saying.

Jimi was BRILLIANT 😍, most things he said went over some ppls heads!! One of a kind, you can't duplicate that kind of GENIUS... Rip Jimi, i miss you, dude!!!

The reason Michael Jeffery was unusually out in the open and right over Jimi's shoulder in this rare news conference is because Michael was a British Intelligence agent and needed to be right on top of Jimi when he was getting involved in a Harlem black community show in September 1969...There was an undocumented cold war going on between Jimi and Jeffery at this time because Jimi was trying to work Jeffery out of the management...Jeffery was using Intelligence tactics to combat it and Jimi was kidnapped by some guys from the mafia's Salvation Club a few days after this show to send a message to him from Jeffery...That Judas over Jimi's shoulder would murder Jimi a year later after Jimi finally fired him after he realized Jeffery had poisoned Billy Cox with bad acid in order to force Noel Redding back in to the band..Jimi was no fool...He knew what was happening...He fired Jeffery 12 hours before his mysterious death with everyone lying...

So glad I was alive when Jimi was taking the universe by storm. Amazing guy.

He was a thinker, ahead of his time. Pardon? Good enough!

Feels like this happened in another dimension now

Bringing the people together during those times in a much better way than politics always raised suspicion.

Hes simply a beautiful soul and true legend. Jimi isnt a star. Hes a whole galaxy

jimi done more with distortion and a wah wah pedal ,than any one today can do with multi effects,,, imagine what he woukd have done with delays ,flanges ,chorus, etc ,still blows my mind jimi

I know someone who played in a band with Mitch Mitchell for a year and he asked him about Jimi and he confirmed he was a beautiful soul. Mitch said is he was talking to a guitar player who couldn't afford a good guitar Jimi would give him one of his.

Jimi has the most adorable smile , gorgeous, deep, devine eyes! and voice! 💕 I am finally in love!

Wow what a great man, such a vision. He is missed deeply.

The one and only. Simply beautiful. RIP Legend, and thanks for the music.

He was very handsome 😍😍 and an intelligent speaker

He was my personal biggest influence. I wanted to play music the fist time I heard him. His music just resonated with me so much. Still listening to it today. He left way to young.

He was sooo handsome ..and you could tell he was a genuinely sweet and introverted soul. He was conscious before the word was made a big thing ..he had so much to say but he looks spiritually alone ..he had lots of people around him but not one REAL person in his corner. I feel like he didn't feel appreciated, loved, valued or safe. If he had of been alive in this era of time at the age he is back then, people would be obsessed with him especially in the Law of Assumption / "The Secret" communities. He could of been a guru. I hope he's at peace ..Shine in love, Jimi

"Pardon?" Something that I always forget about Jimi when I watch or hear him play is how shy and reserved and even uncomfortable he could be without his guitar. He says "I'm not sure" or "I don't know" so many times, and he even seems bothered or annoyed by answering questions. Not that it's written in stone, but sometimes with big stage presences you get a lot of confidence or personality everywhere else in their life too. IMHO, it seems Jimi wasn't like that at all; he was a quiet, reserved, easy going kind of drifter type, happiest to stay out of the spotlight, go with the flow and just vibe with people. But put a guitar in his hands and he became a colossus who knew EXACTLY what he was he doing and how it should be done.
