First Time Hearing Manic Depression - Jimi Hendrix (Reaction Video)

[@mr.goodenough3796]

Check out Jimi doing Machine Gun live at the Fillmore East, off the album Band of Gypsys. 12 minutes of straight 🔥

[@Niko3387Y]

The best live performance of all time

[@tonetone7572]

I can't explain what Manic Depression sounded like with headphones back in 1967,,,...57 yrs later people are still loving it..

[@troyshilanski380]

My thing was somehow i recorded crickets while camping over a couple of seconds . Now decades later i expect those crickets.

[@mr.goodenough3796]

Jimi didn't play with James Brown, but he did play with Little Richard , the Isley Brothers, and backed up many other well known musicians before becoming famous in his own right. During the National Anthem Jimi is making the sounds of bombs dropping, gun fire and screams. He had been in the Army 101st airborne and loved his country, but he was also painting a picture of the horrors of war, Vietnam specifically. Jimi would expand on the anti war/ killing of innocents theme in the Epic song Machine Gun on the Band of Gypsys album I mentioned in another comment. ✌️

"House Burning Down" is an absolute must-hear. MUST, that is. It's full throttle Jimi Hendrix. Trust me. 🎸

[@MundaneDave]

Jimi's main drummer (Mitch Mitchell) is considered one of the best ever Jimi started with drums & bass before guitar. He knew who to get.

[@claytonpaul4259]

The tracks where jimi plays bass on the albums are the best

[@MundaneDave]

@@claytonpaul4259 There are some very rare recording of Jimi playing drums, bass and guitar (overdubbed). No vocals, just jams. He spent an absurd amount of time at studios

[@markcantrell8642]

And I’m a bass player who’s been studying Noel Redding, the bassist here. Hendrix drew such great musicians!

[@claytonpaul4259]

Jimi is the truth. Throw a dart, no bad songs, just some more epic than others. He has all kinds of songs and something for every occasion in life. He was the nexus of everything before and since. Still unrivaled in studio or live. Loved that y'all got into it and immediately went to the anthem. That's how the internet *experience* ought to be.

[@danreed5171]

Mitch Mitchell on the SKINS

[@Friend_Of_The_Muse]

Drummer Mitch Mitchel was the Hendrix of drummers. He fit Jimi perfectly. (Jimi played Bass on most studio recordings as well.)

[@Mike-kv5pl]

It is unreal that this song was recorded in 1967. It is like some futuristic jazz/rock trio from another world traveled back in time to record this.

[@Bill_Jones.]

I was lucky enough to see Jimi live twice with The Experience (both times in Houston). The first show was at the Houston Music Hall (my first concert). I was stunned at what I was seeing and hearing. Human beings just aren’t supposed to be doing that (except for David Gilmour). At the 2nd show at The Sam Houston Coliseum, we had much better seats (around row 20 on the floor instead of row 15 in the upper balcony like we had at the first show). Why I remember it so clearly is because Jimi ran onstage wearing a black silk headscarf and dressed in a black silk bodysuit that had silver sequins running up and down his arm sleeves and the sides of his pant legs. We punks could only stare at this apparition of coolness before our eyes. Of course, Jimi just tore the stage down and we walked out afterwards in a dazed stupor. I think we’d just been Experienced. It’s too bad there are no surviving members of The Experience left.

3 timer here.. Madison Square Garden Randalls Island festival ...and blessed to be at the Fillmore East for the Machine Gun performance!

[@Bill_Jones.]

⁠@@user-vv9it9ye4gOh man, to be able to see Jimi playing Machine Gun at The Fillmore !!! That must have been an incredible experience and rank as one of your favorite concert performances.

[@Boris-Heathen]

One of my favorites - it never gets old. I give it a 10. I always turn up the volume on this one!

[@brewstergallery]

Ned from Spain stopping by to hear your opinions about this. I should have known that no matter if it was someone hearing it 1st time in 1967 or 57 years later it hits like a lightning bolt and hits hard every time you hear it again. I heard it when I was 8 in 1970 and begged my parents to get me the LP which they very kindly did. Manic Mitch Mitchell , like a lot of 1960s Rock drummers loved Jazz greats like Art Blakey, Max Roach and in this case Elvin Jones. This is one of Mr Hendrix's greatest performances and the solo is hotter than a blast furnace. Noel is doing a great job filling in the gaps with like a bass " drone ".

[@markcantrell8642]

Have ya’ll done “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)”? Either the album track or the Woodstock live version. And, yes, this is one of the only versions of the national anthem than makes me feel patriotic. THAT’s the America I want to be part of!!!

[@Ad-oy5wr]

Jimi started out playing blues and soul music with other musicians,he was never into heavy metal.The Jimi Hendrix Experience was mainly rock,The Band of Gypsies was a mixture rock,blues,soul,jazz etc. If you listen to the Isley Brothers album 3+3, you will here younger brother Ernie learned a lot from Hendrix,when Hendrix lived and played guitar with them.

[@Yóuzhi-f2i]

my favourite jimi hencrix song

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Mitch Mitchell on drums. Noel Redding on bass. You guys would also love this song of Jimi's: "Voodoo Chile", (not Voodoo Child, Slight Return), track 4 on his Electric Ladyland album. It's 14 minutes long, and pure fire!

[@julienmarquet8612]

The greatest guitarist, musicians, composer, of the 20th century with his musicians....Magic...Peace from France ✌️

[@mikecaetano]

"Manic Depression" is from his 1967 debut album, Are You Experienced. Also check out "I Don't Live Today", "Love or Confusion", and "The Wind Cries Mary" from that album. And also check out "Crosstown Traffic", "House Burning Down", and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" from Electric Ladyland.

[@Fredster-sk9rc]

Thank you for doing national anthem too!

[@markcantrell8642]

I think you might be thinking of Bootsie Collins as playing w James Brown, but I love him and Jimi both, in terms of talent, soul, and fashion.

[@Wyatt-f5b]

Good review👍 he was peaking at this time these guys working with him (band if gypsy's) helped him open up his creative ideas.

[@VinzClorthokeymasterofGozer]

The drums always hooked me more than Jimi's guitar in this song.

[@spinynormanbest6410]

👍

[@EvanWeber1234]

Welcome to Jimi!!! So much great music to hear!

[@James-k8l8d]

The only Rock song put the beat of a 'Waltz' 😅 1,2,3, 🎶boom boom boom🎼

[@troyshilanski380]

Whole band Jimi, Mitch and Knoel

[@hopeklemann1]

🌸 one of my favorite Jimi tracks

[@PeterOConnell-pq6io]

Hendriks was phenomenonal. Unfortunately, the filament in the light bulb glows brightest just before it burns out.

[@johnfrank3177]

Hey Fellas. Just subscribed to your channel. Jimi was the goat, no doubt. When his first album dropped in "67 , there was nobody who sounded like him, or looked like him. Check out the studio version of "Fire" from his first album, Are You Experienced. I know you will enjoy it. Peace.

[@rb7007]

As a kid, I remember hearing this in the background of the movie “Shampoo” with Warren Beatty. I had no business watching that film at aged 10. 🤣 But I remember thinking,….who is this song by?! Btw, I need to watch that Andre 3000 film!

[@troyshilanski380]

Great song.

[@NM-bp6dy]

Amazing drumming from Mitch Mitchell. This song is in waltz time..3/4 time.

[@StevenOslica]

The goat

[@RealDukeOfEdinburgh]

Voodoo Chile

[@ch11ew12y]

I went AWOL from Fort Dix to see Hendrix in Philly, now you know why lol

[@RealDukeOfEdinburgh]

Purple Haze

[@Fredster-sk9rc]

Check out the song "Freedom"

[@ГургенДжангирян]

When he played with James Brown 😅😅 Lol

[@troyshilanski380]

Yeah he opened for the Monkeys, imagine how that worked out.

[@Fredster-sk9rc]

Those are the bombs bursting in air

[@johndegouveia9616]

check out hey Joe. he was 27yrs old r.i.p jimi.

[@robertdawson8522]

Jimi turned it into a protest song

[@nigelralphmurphy2852]

Jimi never played with James Brown.

[@damonhines8187]

Andre 3000 did a decent job in that movie, looked alright, caught some of his spirit, but none of Jimi's music is in this or any other supposed "biopic" of Hendrix. If Jimi had issues concerning violence against women, there's better ways to address it. See 'A Film About Jimi Hendrix'; interviews and music. That's much more revealing. 'Manic Depression' is just another of the mind-blowing tracks on his debut album. It truly changed the world for guitarists. Nothing has been the same since. ✌🏼😁🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊

[@Fredster-sk9rc]

He died at 27

[@troyshilanski380]

3 man band

[@troyshilanski380]

Work on your audio a bit. Sokay its old ill turn it up.

[@keithmccaslyn2527]

I've been into Jimi since 1970, I was 12, I AM now 66. ALL the so called Movies about Jimi are toast, inaccrurate,droll and off base! Look Up a "A Film about Jimi Hendrix" 1973 for starters. Throwing any old Black dude in a flick with a headband does NOT Make him Jimi Hendrix, his energy, his drive nor his being-ness!! Those so called :Movies" sucked!! Good Luck on that one, theres ONLY 1 and thats Jimi Himself!! Play on Electric Gypsy Play on !! PS: JIMI Hendrix NEVER played with James Brown and he was NOT playing with James Brown when He 'Left for Europe!" , Jimi Had been playing with Curtis Knight,before he left for Europa, however even with that, Jimi Had left Curtis Knight's band and gotten his own act together in the Village, in NYC, his band was called Jimi James and the Blue Flames!! Linda Keith went to this club in the village, saw Jimi Playing, told Chas Chandler ,Bassist of the Band the Animals, that was in June of '66, He told Jim I'll be back in the Fall, and we;ll take it from there, they then decided in September of 1966 to go to England !!

[@radar0412]

I disagree with your partner. I think Manic Depression is better guitar than All along the Watchtower. Not that anyone will agree with me through. And Jimi had Buddy Miles join his Short lived "Band of Gypsies." Cheers from the Rock and Roll past!

[@PoetOvGOD9547]

Band Of Gypsy's better than the Experience... They called Clapton god till GOD said to his son Jimi go and destroy their god and he did completely and utterly...

[@RonaldWilliams-lp3bg]

All along the watchtower was originally written by Bob Dylan that's who Jimi Hendrix love a lot back in the days he did a few of his songs oh and another thing LOL Jimi Hendrix never played with James Brown bro he played with the Isley Brothers at one point but never James Brown LOL

[@kennethbaldonado4348]

That movie was trash
