Jimi Hendrix career spanned only four years but he is considered one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music. He headlined the famous Woodstock Festival in 1969. He had a lot of great songs such as "Hey Joe", "Purple Haze", "The Wind Cries Mary", "All Along The Watchtower" etc.

[@SCORPION89199]

I know he wasn't credited but prior to his first album he was a background guitarist he was a session musician before he became his own act and that goes back to the earlier mid-sixties that he played on many different jazz and Rock recording he just did not get exposed to the public until 1967.(but he did some great work for different musicians in 64 65 and 66)

[@mikeanderson7962]

Jimi is misunderstood, under rated, and still 10,000 light years ahead of everyone. The depth of his soul was immeasurable!

[@TheDivayenta]

Yes, high. Also, Jimi was so groundbreaking and fresh that we were concentrating on what this guitar master was doing!

[@robertnathan2843]

Those audience shots seem edited just to show the crowd, not when he was performing.

[@joshs4594]

Jimi Hendrix got the same reaction from fans all through his debut tour and one word describes it: Stunned.

[@TheHaplorhine]

Jimi's version of The Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock is well worth a listen. As a Viet Nam vet, he takes you right into the battlefield!

[@mrgreatbigmoose]

YES! Definitely need to hear the National Anthem at Woodstock!

[@kilroygirl7347]

Agreed!

[@robertnathan2843]

He was discharged before Nam, if I may. 1962, 101st Airborne. Then toured the 'Chitlin circuit, Isley brothers, Little Richard and more.

[@TheHaplorhine]

@@robertnathan2843 You are quite right, perhaps I should have said 'as a vet' rather than as a Viet Nam vet. I stand corrected :)

[@rebeccabailey527]

@@TheHaplorhine not really a "vet" either. He didn't even finish training. Got kicked out for all sorts of things, like missing bed check, sleeping at his post, unable to follow directions, requiring supervision at all times, his eyesight was so poor, he ranked dead last in marksmanship in his outfit, and finally, he was caught jacking it in the latrine while he was supposed to be on duty. The smoking gun has scans of his army papers, and you can read them. He couldn't tell the press he got kicked out for that, so he made up the story about breaking his ankle.

[@stephaniewashburn7700]

Not only the GOAT, but a freakin KING 👑 🖤💯

[@kristinabushnell3652]

He was actually only big for about 3 years before he died and had a lasting impact on music. Can you imagine what he would have done if he had been around longer? Great reaction!! 🙂

[@JerryCarr909]

I saw Jimi in NYC January 1970 . The Goat

[@cheyanndoyle1688]

You are lucky!😮

[@sherrellelkins1976]

Oh my dear sir. Hendrix was and is the GOAT. Left handed, upsidedown right side up.

[@stonedgodzilla]

A lot of people dont know he played an upside down right handed guitar! That means all your notes are backwards!!🤯🤯😱😱

[@russelmurphy4868]

Definitely the GOAT. But I maintain that he Is THE Guitar God. Rock guitar can be described as : Before Hendrix and After Hendrix.

[@Mike-kv5pl]

JIMI HENDRIX - HEY JOE LIVE AT MONTEREY POP FESTIVAL. Great performance!

[@stonedgodzilla]

Its unbelievable what he did in 4 years😱 And how he played an upside down right handed guitar🤯 didn't change the strings just flip it and sent it🔥🔥🔥

[@kilroygirl7347]

The left handed, upside down guitar playing genius. Yes, go back and look! Great reaction as always AB! ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👍

[@sharonpate5481]

At the Monterey Pop Festival Jimi sprayed his guitar with lighter fluid while it was laying on the floor and set the thang on fire 🔥!!! Look for that video ☮️❤️🌻👵🏼

[@mariannwatt2678]

When the first jimi hendrix lp came out i was a budding young guitar player just learning my brother lived in hollywood and gave me this lp and said little brother forget the monkeys listen to this ha ha WOW 3 years later i had a strat and a marshall amp and wave gone ever sence jimi was more than a guitarist he was a freak of nature pure gypsy from another planet

[@macadelic2492]

With how rare live shows were back then i would be taking in every second too 😂

[@traceyraffle6675]

Jimi was too much coolness :)

[@beverlysmith8025]

I saw him when I was 18 in Raleigh, NC 1967 or 68...far out!

[@jeannec.2730]

You gotta watch other live coverage of him. He's such a delight to watch. RIP

[@bzbzob]

People used to actually sit and really listen to every detail of music. Thanks for the reaction to HENDRIX! One 20th century's most complete and fully realized artistic geniuses, a true natural and life changer for those who listen deeply.

[@scapito]

Will never forget my first time hearing Jimi nearly 30 years ago, and I'm still exploring his music. He was a pioneer in they way he played guitar. Such a great journey. 💜 Prince plays guitar similar to Jimi, he also makes love to it. 😜 One of Jimi's performances that people are in awe of is *Hey Joe.*

[@sueprator9314]

Carlos Santana- different style, but his accomplishments were a real wide range and oh yes he made love to his guitar. His best works were his all-instrumental works that came after he started his spiritual journey. His first 3 albums were the hard-driving latin rock stuff.

[@scapito]

@@sueprator9314 💯🙌 definitely! Love Santana live!

[@tonyabomia7217]

I think he actually set a few of his guitars on fire. Literally set them on fire.

[@reneeg9406]

And played them while they were burning 🤯🔥🎸🤩

[@TheDivayenta]

Monterey!

[@stephenkittle6586]

Some of those still photos are from the Monterey Festival where Jimi lights his guitar on fire!!! 🔥🎸🐐😁😢😍

[@cerescop]

You ain't ready for this. Jimi didn't only play his guitar left handed. He learned to play it upside down as well. He didn't reverse order the strings to play left handed. He just picked up a right handed guitar flipped it over and learned to play it. Listen to the Star Spangled Banner from Woodstock, unbelievable.

[@robertnathan2843]

His strings are reversed

[@robertnathan2843]

@Doug Spooner Jimi restrung the guitar as opposed to just playing a right hand guitar upside down. Low E on top to high on down. Hope that helps. Paul McCartney too

[@olly8]

@@robertnathan2843 Jimi did play w/guitar restrung ..but he also could play it not altered. He could play both ways-uoside down, with his teeth, behind his head, while Trippin'. Just give him a guitar and he was SUPERNATURAL!!! Check it out in print. That's why Jimi is LEDGEND 🤯 🎸🎶🎵 ♐✌

[@robertnathan2843]

@@olly8 Respectfully, Susi Eddens, your preaching to the choir regarding Jimi. I was referring specifically to the video and his preferred tuning. I've never heard about or seen film of him perform in any other tuning or right handed. If you have info on that I would appreciate it. Thank you. ✌️🎸and ♐

[@olly8]

@@robertnathan2843 I can't find specific articles, but it was about Albert King /another lefty who played right handed guitar upside down. Albert handed Jimi his own guitar+Jimi played it upside down. Jimi was taught by his dad to play 'correct'- right handed. Jimi was ambidextrous. Some lefties are able to use both sides of the brain- thinking and creative sides together. ✌👍🏻♐ Hope that helps you. U can look up pics of Jimi playing right handed...

[@debrabenoist1596]

Jimmi could make that guitar talk, in different languages

[@steveneardley7541]

On the crowd reaction. When Jimi's first record appeared we were listening to it in a group, totally stoned and totally into it. The concert crowd reflects this. This was not considered dance music, but acid music. The idea was to let it take you away.

[@cara3388]

You got to understand back then he wasn't spread all over tv. As a matter of fact television signed off at midnight so there was only snow on TV until I or 6 in the morning. There was no such thing as MTV or a music video. How you heard new artist was on the radio or later when you bought their record. The audience is STUNNED. He invented this style of music 🎵🎶. It had never been done before. The cords and licks he did were his own and were revolutionary. His sex appeal on stage is incredible! This was uncommon back then. The audience had to know they were seeing a legend and were just blown away. Oh yeah, we stayed pretty much stoned most of the time too. He was utterly incredible!

[@reneeland5071]

Definitely one of the GOATS

[@aldito7586]

There is something about this man that places him on a higher level. Not only did he play better than most anyone. But he played better than anyone.

[@72KingDavid]

Try Voodoo Child (Slight Return) and All Along the Watchtower from Jimi.

[@victorcowboywest]

Sometimes we just sat and listen to Jimi and enjoy what he was playing and watch what he was doing on stage.

[@Van1973Auken]

AB! These people were HGH AF! In all fairness, it was customary to wait for all the colors to do their dances, the pink elephants to walk by, the purple gerbils in their little cars and the asparagus to spell their names before they could stand and applaud.

[@stonedgodzilla]

My first hendrix song was at a bar. I was 10 and went around to the back patio to get him. They were having a outdoor concert. Up to that point I only knew white and rob zombie🤘my dad immediately grabs me and says son listen! Watch! Put me on his shoulders and they were playing hendrix, johny winter, Stevie ray vaughn. Skynard! This guitar player was the best i seen.and. since! He played all the classic blues/rock Blew my young mind🤯🤯 and since then I've always wanted to be a blues man but.... I sold my soul for rock'n'roll 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️😂

[@davidturner4407]

Lol great reaction to the immortal Jimi!

[@sf9_mamma]

Oh man u are the goat of reactors I love your channel ❤️ so much

[@williamhillard1358]

They were all in awe and high

[@candilumpkin1196]

This is done in mirror image so you can’t tell. But he was left handed so he taught himself how to play the guitar upside down.

[@peggy332]

The crowd was in a trance never ever had they seen anything like it

[@anitapaulus937]

Probably high, but this music was usually listened to intently. At least it was when I was that age. You couldn’t really dance to it. It was unpredictable, and it was fascinating to watch it being performed. We listened to albums front to back over and over.

[@claireeyles7560]

Exactly. I grew up in the 70s and 80s, went to some gigs where everyone was up on their feet going crazy, dancing, singing along etc, been to other gigs where everyone just sat quietly and had their minds blown by the music and performance of the musicians. Both responses are totally valid and both responses show an appreciation for what you're hearing.

[@yearginclarke]

I'm grew up at the end of the cassette era in the 90's, but I always used to listen to the whole album. Of course alot of albums from the old days were solid enough where there wasn't much filler to weed out and the whole album was enjoyable.

[@thecodetalker5742]

High...and shook at his performance 😳

[@nataliabahrke7113]

He was rocking out!!! I love it omgosh!!!

[@everettnapihaa6111]

Those were the days...these people were way too high and Jimi knew he was the controller! They were tripping in space and seeing sound coming out of those amplifiers and the Band was moving in all directions and the ground was quacking in slow motion and the hills and valleys were moving up and down while they were on Acid! They couldn't move. And the music and Jimi's playing was a shock to the system!But that was the kind of crowd normally would say that's the best concert they went to ever!!! Sometimes people went to these concerts to critique. "Oh let's see if this band can really play like that..."they ended up getting too stoned, frozen and shocked to the core!" I'm 66yrs old 67 next month April, a Rock and Metal musician and this kind of stoned...people these days don't go near it! I was 13 yrs old on this kind of high back then enjoying the trip and still did dance!!! This was a new sound, crazy and Groovy!

[@gpxo11]

watch him at the Monterey Pop festival and the National anthem at woodstock and have your mind blown.

[@TheDivayenta]

I’m so glad I got to see him in San Jose!

[@knew3355]

Watch him do Hey Joe to see him play with his teeth (find the video with him in a bright yellow-orangish ruffled shirt). He was definitely a GOAT on guitar.

[@crystalbraxton8439]

Hey Joe, he plays with his mouth. It's awesome! Also he was left-handed so the guitar was like turned the opposite way. Check out his other stuff. All Along the Watcher, Hear My Train Coming.

[@johnreed8789]

Have you ever listened to Prince? I would enjoy your reactions to the purple one. Vocals, dancing, virtuoso on most musical instruments, a true musical genius and once in a lifetime talent.

[@jeffreybudrovic7785]

Hendrix is king, been listening since 68.

[@aliciakeever6370]

You would think secretary would start warning you before these shocking videos 😂😂

[@jeannec.2730]

The Americans didn't understand him at first, so he went to Europe and became a star! Then he came back to the USA with a whole different following.

[@kelvendyson1508]

Your comment, 'I'm not ready'...don't worry Bro...we weren't ready either! We still trying to catch up to him and he's been gone since 1970

[@mdavis1798]

They are listening to the music , they have never heard someone or seen a Someone ay like that they are in awe

[@GodsUnrulyFriends]

Now you know how we felt 50 years ago. This way of playing guitar is part of the vocabulary of the guitar. Before Hendrix, nobody did this. Believe it or not, the gyrating was just him having fun. It was for show, and it was NOTHING compared to his full abilities on the instrument. It may interest you to know that at this particular performance, he was loaded to the gills on a powerful psychedelic drug that would have laid low a lesser man. And he STILL delivered this greatness! FYI, the stock footage of people looking bored is just that; stock footage. The video of Hendrix playing was incomplete, and they had to fill it in somehow.

[@richardherrera4614]

Yo Brutha I'm 52 r.n. I was 13 yrs old & heard the Star Spangled Banner. The show was called Night Flight I thank God for that show it turned me into an instant Hendrix fan. Check out his live performances , "Monterey Pop festival" , "Jimi plays Berkeley" , "Live at the Royal Albert Hall" , "Live performance in Stockholm" and u will be an instant fan homie , I guarantee it.

AB!!!! If you really want to Jimmy at his best! Please, Please do Hey Joe live at the Monterey festival. Clue? Strap in.

[@CrashCourseFarm]

They all are stoned lol

[@guitarman8462]

You have to watch - live at Maui , live at Woodstock , live at Monterey pop festival , Isle of wight , listen to live at the Filmore East. One of things that Hendrix had was long fingers. That gave him great advantage on vibrato , outstanding double stops & triple , hammer on & off , wrap his whole hand around the neck to reach many strings at once and so much more . In an interview , Hendrix said that he likes the crowd to dig the music and not go crazy. Hendrix was in his zone while playing.

[@dilandilanjoao4310]

This is live at the Woodstock festival. The counting stopped around the 400 thousand people after the organization opened the gates and let everybody in for free. It lasted 3 days. It finished in a giant pool of mud because of rain and the nearby river. The front cover of the record is one of the most ìconic photographs of rock history. Also the logo of the festival is ìconic. Just check it out ✌

[@lisaforet9911]

Play Hey Joe ,Purple Haze, Cross town traffic. They're all great songs . Thanks

[@raylangley797]

ever body is stoned out of their minds. L.S.D.

[@jenniferdudley8815]

Just a cute little bit,FYI, I heard about this interesting tidbit years ago. When Jimi went to a new place to perform a concert he would go to a local pawn shop and pawn his guitar before the show and see if his band mates still wanted him to perform with them enough to get his guitar out of hock so he could play it at the concert.

[@TheMjm55]

Yes. They were VERY high. On some of the highest quality LSD available at the time. Sandoz, Owlsley, and Orange Sunshine from the Brotherhood of Eternal Love. Also at the time it was RESPECTFUL to sit and listen to the artist and react at the end of the performance.

[@TheStone1966]

Jimi Hendrix the goat 🐐

[@johndegouveia9616]

greatest guitarist of all time.

[@jharekcarnelian]

All that stuff Jimi is doing behind his head and under his leg and behind his back has roots in earlier artists like T-Bone Walker and people like that. I first heard Jimi when I was 14 and that brought me around to listening loads of jazz and blues and hundreds of people. If you're going to do Jimi here's a suggestion do George Clinton and Funkadelic as well and if you want a (sadly) slightly lesser known guitarist Shuggie Otis.

[@reneeg9406]

Yes, they were all on something. Mostly acid 🤷‍♀️

[@jodyburger1979]

Jimi Hendrix could play the guitar any which way you could imagine. That's why he is still on the top of every reputable top guitarists list. Like someone else mentioned he was influential on sooooo many guitarists that came after him. Mainly Stevie Ray Vaughn. Hendrix had more talent in his pinky finger than most will ever have. Many times wonder what would music have been if he wouldn't have died.

[@samanthadoe4742]

Jimi Hendrix played a right handed guitar upside down because he was left handed and they didn't make left handed guitars at the time.

[@robertphelps1574]

They did make left handed Stratocaster’s but not that many Dick Dale was using playing one in the early 60s

[@claireburling8547]

Hey.man at 6:58 who's the guy with shirt n tie sitting up on the scaffolding? LOL. He's looking off into the distance, it's too funny. And Jimi, he wasn't blessed with those long legs for nuthin. Many people weren't ready for this kinda music and ain't never seen anyone like him b4. I Kno I was more than ready and waiting at the gate! You seemed impressed. You should check out Hey Joe, Red House, Voodoo chills, Angel Purple Haze n many more. ' Psychedelic little rabbit hole', the caterpillar said. ☮️. to all.

[@thisweekinmusicreactions8470]

U gotta listen to a lot more. Much love bro. Good reaction

[@runawaytrain9794]

Yeah, audiences back then were more chill...AND many were also High AF on Weed, etc, too. But yeah, no matter because people LOVED Hendrix back then anyway, and he will always be a legend. Crazy antics and mosh pits would come a little later lol.

Here are some Jimi Hendrix suggestions for you to check out. Every one of these epic in scale, and superb in their craftsmanship and musicianship. Absolutely timeless. Be sure and listen to the studio album version, and not the live one. That's my personal preference. i'm an album guy. Red House Hey Joe Foxey Lady Purple Haze Fire The Wind Cries Mary Little Miss Lover Wait Until Tomorrow Castles Made Of Sand Spanish Castle Magic Highway Chile Little Wing Every one of these will spin your head. Enjoy.

Your face is a million dollars to watch, you need to see more of Jimi, he first made it in England as the U.S didn't much like Black artists but when he returned to do Monterey America changed their minds!

[@jharekcarnelian]

Some of the reviews he got when he returned were...interesting. People were calling him an Uncle Tom and all sorts of stuff. Someone else called his chord voicing basic and clumsy.

[@Earthtime3978]

People watched and enjoyed the musicians back then. They didn’t scream and clap as if the song was over in the middle of it.

[@Synapse-x7q]

He was completely out of his mind on drugs at Woodstock but put on 1 of his best sets ever. Sober or not man was taken to early but God made him special and came out of the womb with a sic guitar lick. Arguably the best of all time.

[@rebeccabailey527]

Actually at woodstock he had been up for 3 days straight, not high. But being that deprived of sleep is probably as bad as being super high.

[@Charityf100]

THE GOAT!!!

[@jeffreyhanson9930]

Everybody is laid back and possibly high on acid, mescaline, weed, etc. audiences were different back then. Rock concerts only barely became a thing. I was told about Woodstock before it started. None of us knew what a rock concert was.

[@TheTaconator69er]

Making movies was very expensive in those days and most Pop Festivals were done as cheaply as possible, the audience shots were probably not even from his performance, which is why the reaction shots don't do it justice. You noticed how much footage of this song was missing and they filled the blank spots with pictures from other shows, because they didn't even have the complete song on film. This is the very reason there isn't that many of his shows on film or video tape. Video and Film were very expensive to make them the right way at this time.

[@LinkRocks]

Yes they were stoned out of their minds.

[@scotthumphries5607]

Come on man… Love the channel! Looking for Guitar hero’s, you need to check out Van Halen! The number one party band, when troops were headed to Operation Desert Storm, the listens to Van Halen.

Yes often people were high during that whole era. Just sayin. Smokin that is. FIRE by Jimi Hendrix is much faster and my favorite for hard driving fast beat. I could tell stories of how kids changed in high school from one year (dancing & alcohol) to the next year (everyone smokin) it changed the whole energy of a "dance". That was the attraction of the ELECTRIC GUITAR...it was a TRIP....get it? An EXPERIENCE LIKE HIS NAME. THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE.

[@michellekaylan6926]

Yes the were tripping. Soaking it in - Jimi was a god, so it is reverence.

[@Maple837]

Goat status... 😂

[@827dusty]

If you don't know just how great Jimi is in the world of Rock, and Blues, then you've either been born in the last 20 years, or you don't know Rock music history. Jimi plays his guitar upside down, because you see, when he was a 9-year-old kid growing up in the poor part of Seattle, Jini's dad got him a cheap, Bargain Basement guitar at Sears. The only problem is Jimi is a Lefty, and almost all guitars are made for right-handed people. That didn't stop young Jimi. He simply flipped the guitar upside down, and then taught himself how to play all of the chords backwards. Nothing was going to stop this kid. He changed Rock music forever, as nobody had ever seen anyone play a guitar and make it do the things he did. -There have many movies and tv documentaries on his life. He is simply the greatest.

[@rebeccabailey527]

Lots of bs here. The guitar al bought jimi was from a neighbor, and he did flip the strings too, so he was not playing the chords "backwards". Also just about every lefty had to do that, it wasn't anything unique to jimi.

[@samlewis7878]

Yeah- Jimi sounds pretty good alright. LOL. Anybody anywhere ay any time that sounds this original and this good?
