Inside the Mind of Jimi Hendrix | The Dick Cavett Show

Jimi Hendrix revealed that he doesn’t practice in a traditional sense but instead engages in constant improvisation and creation, which sometimes leads to mistakes. He does not read music and finds it hard to remember notes as he’s always creating new things.

I'm 50 and this is the first time I've ever seen or heard Jimi Hendrix speak. KZbin really does have some great gems of historic television to cherish now.

[@junehanzawa5165]

Never?

[@summergivens242]

Where have you been ?

[@CELESTETUASON]

I am 53 yrs.old first time in my whole life have I seen J.Hendrix in an interview.A first time!

[@antoinepetrov]

Both were such great people.

[@3rdmm]

Still great.

[@goodwilj]

I loved Jimi Hendrix. He was something really special and unique. A legend.

[@pholly]

I never knew there was any controversy about the way he played the National Anthem, I thought it was great, it was better than the original version.

[@junehanzawa5165]

Oh, yeah. Conservatives hated it.

[@ComradeMarx1017]

I wish this channel would include full episodes with the musical performances! I believe he played Machine Gun right before coming to sit next to Dick.

[@OnBleeckerStreet]

When he said he had 3 nervous breakdowns since he started in that business…

[@supersonicT]

Indeed, heartbreaking... Nowadays we'd call them 'burn-outs', which is also a very unhealthy practice.

[@mikeserra9462]

Constant touring. Constant partying. Constant pressure from management and the fans. Drug use. This all adds up to nervous and physical breakdowns.

[@krissypeters1517]

Jimi ♥️…. Genius

[@archerdoubleO]

This show is a godsend from history.

[@kt9166]

I'm sure that his mates in the 101st Airborne were very, very proud of their Jimi. 🥰🥰🥰

[@JMacque]

Super cool.

[@eduard5524]

This guy lived fast

[@alexandrakoch59]

Doesn’t read music just feels it generating through him

[@GhastlyCretin]

✌️

[@r3b3lvegan89]

2:57 the original thriller

[@vec875]

Marcus Welby didn’t know what to make of JH

[@GodKingjafirah]

To think the kids these days will never know anything about this man is a tragedy

[@philskovby2917]

That's what I keep thinking

[@JoeVington]

That’s an odd thing to say as I’m 16 and love his music, my granddad actually went to see him perform on the Isle of Wight in 1970 I think it was

[@GodKingjafirah]

@@JoeVington you are an anomaly my friend. You are the exception, not the rule.

[@JoeVington]

@@GodKingjafirah I’m glad you think so 🙂 but tbf a lot of my friends my age like music from the 60s to 80s

[@grokeffer6226]

👍👍👍

[@stevenholton438]

I got the impression he'd taken a couple of Dex.

[@Comedyhacks]

You looked tired he was going hard

[@startervisions]

Look at God

[@gregflip5938]

hey where’s Izabella / Machine Gun? : (

[@corda93bg]

unpopular opinion: I like Jimi's voice better than his guitar playing
