Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced - Live 1968

Hendrix' performance of "Are You Experienced" live at the Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix on September 4th, 1968. One of my favorite versions of the song.

[@cydonianman]

after hearing jimi's music i dont need LSD. and this dude played LOUD...i mean LOUUUUD. those who were around to see him live say that it went through ur bones. u become a changed man after leavin jimi's concert. thats why jimi called it an "electric church".

[@DowntownDogMan]

Nobody can play like this. Try as they may, he is just untouchable.

[@dbige23]

there will NEVER be anybody as good and original as this man

[@luzdaviola]

man the version off "Jimi Hendrix Concerts" is out of this world or not from this world i should say! Jimi draw from the astral and presented it to the earthly so we may remember where we really come from.. he was/is a messenger send from beyond... i wonder where he is now!!! Play on Jimi...

[@Soundwasteland]

This is the greatest sound I've ever heard from A GUITAR. I love it Fuck the dislikes to the people that liked we know good music and were we stand so don't sweat it.

[@wagstag89]

I never understood this song until I was stoned and listening to it through headphones..then it all made sense and was trippy as hell. You don't need hard drugs for this song to blow your mind, but to each his own I guess. Either way Jimi was the best and I don't think we will see anything like him in our lifetime. The glory days of music are long gone and I will have to hang my head when I tell my kids what type of music was popular when I was younger.

[@jazmaan]

Phoenix was one of the best live shows Jimi ever did. Amazing setlist. We're lucky any audio survives at all. SOMEDAY computers will be able to process this crappy audio and make it sound better than we can even imagine. And they'll match it up with holographic movie images of the Man.

[@KeepPlayingTheRecord]

Haha! That's a common fantasy of mine. Get sent back to the 60's with the tech of today to document every concert and impromptu jam session he had. :)

[@jamessalyers6382]

The best version of this live is on the out of print The Jimi Hendrix concerts. Iv had mine since the early 90s. If you can find it get it ! Whole album is amazing.

[@mistrynp]

oh the sounds that came out of that man... spine tingles and hairs stand on end

[@Daves_not_here]

The way that he conveys emotion still knocks me out

[@timscott6081]

There is a great version of this song from Winterland 1968..Amazing sound quality, but it sure didn't stay up here very long..

[@sonictyme1]

+Tim Scott Yes I posted it and got alot of views. I posted it before the newer Winterland version was released. I posted the 1992 version that had a bonus disc and t-shirt. Wish they didn't take it down. Definetely the best version I heard.

[@dharrell2000]

That was October 1968, 2nd show ABSOLUTE BEST hands down, it was so good, Jimi just sat back and let the guitar play itself

[@Soundwasteland]

I got cold chills. Greatiest live performance ever. Imagine being there stoned.

[@codehendrix]

that was quite beautiful of you to say that...

[@melodious54]

I was at this concert :-) Love hearing this recording!

[@dereksoundcloud]

holy fuck the drone of his guitar gives me chills.

[@enurrequiem]

@CoheedAtThe930 .. simply stunning.

[@AdamTurkNumberOne]

Great live version!

[@02DZ]

AWESOME!

[@voivodvlad1]

Wow! Just......Wow!!

[@valleysofneptune]

Never surpassed, sadly missed. James Marshall Hendrix 27/11/42 ~ 18/09/70. Forever in our hearts and ears

[@AdrianoGazza]

Wise words!

[@joseassuncao5598]

MAGNIFICO

[@mielazul]

@KAMON1973 Thanks for responding. Since I wrote that last comment, I went and got the Winterland box set too - they have the version we're talking about, and also another one that I came to love very much as well. And the sound is really good (thanks Eddie Kramer), so they didn't screw anything up like I was worried about. Have a great day bro - it's good to know there's people out there who have the same ecstatic reaction to I have to these things...

[@steveinmidtown]

Took me a few run-throughs to figure out what was what but this is cool.

[@Luisito6119]

Jimi Hendrix is God

[@mielazul]

I really love 1970 era Hendrix for all the new directions and overall brilliance of the shows. But the shows in the late summer/fall of 1968 were so magical...especially this song. The version on "The Jimi Hendrix Concerts" from Winterland is so GIANT AND COSMIC it's staggering. That CD is out of print, but the Estate is coming out with a Winterland collection soon. I hope they don't diminish the sound. It was phenomenal on the original release. Check my channel for some good raw blues btw

[@napomania]

shivers..

[@tokaicarl]

@chunksteak YEAH THAT WINTERLAND VERSION IS FUUCKIN UNREAL...solo gives me goosebumps stil now...

[@mielazul]

@mistrynp Yeah - that version on The Jimi Hendrix Concerts release is HUGE. One my all time favorite pieces of music. Out of print, of course...and there are so many of Jimi's masterpieces - recordings and video - STILL hidden by legal wrangling or whatever other petty reasons. Anyway this is another beautiful version - he was always majestic, but somehow he sounded especially cosmic and enormous when he played this live.

[@2patero]

@guitar19904 AMEN! His playing is Mystical & Supernatural!

[@kingkane18]

what is... happening... mind.. melding.... feels.... amazing.....

[@branislavtanasic821]

Jimi is the best, as always

[@feelingsogood6073]

:12 the power !

[@vagelism333]

HE IS THE GOD!

[@Novum07]

Agree!!!

[@LONEEAGLE_space_rock]

Jimi Hendrix Experience

[@staercky]

Cheers for posting this! I've been looking for it for a while - used to have it on cassette and can't find a record of it on the discographies I've looked at so far. The song I'm really after is Voodoo Chile SR - I seem to remember it being the funkiest version I'd ever heard!

[@LNClubsTheaters]

Great tune!!!

[@KrioK9]

the one.

[@HollyIreneCardoza]

Yes. Yes, I am. ♥

[@mauriciovilas]

debajo del ruido y las noticias canta el alma torturada del siglo. Qué intenso soy x D!

[@cydonianman]

jimi brought order from chaos with melody.

[@mistrynp]

oh my god.....

[@JamieShogun1973]

@mielazul Your right!! I have that Cocert cd. I have just brought the winterland box set. The feedback at the start of Are you experienced is HUGE!!! and when he starts the chug chug of the first bar is monumental!!!!! Its one of the most powefull moments on mussic I have ever heard. AWESOME!!!!!!111

[@luzdaviola]

@tokaicarl yeah man especially when he kicks in with teh wah pedal and wammy bar dives and gets that cool feedback and somehow incorporates it in the melody... only Jimi!

[@codehendrix]

its a call .... its actually just nature (randomness) taking place and us recieving this as a story..

[@JeanTubby77]

Jimi transmitted his x-traterrestrial encounters via his music, God bless him

[@mountainlionify]

I concur!

[@todolosdemasfalla]

what on earth is he playing in the intro like what mode or scale i really wana know it seems like he is shining light on the world with the intro...only hendrix

[@Geopetooo]

Electric Church

[@cydonianman]

yeah i noodle with my guitar with my amp turned all the way up and just barely touch the strings. sometimes just tap the back of the head stock or neck. if ur not finesse with it then all u end up doin is makin uncontrolable noise. its easy to get out of control. jimi had that finesse that nobody else has.

[@F1MMAnCITY]

@snhereford Absolutely agree!! Love this tune.

[@danlove4270]

Janie.....it is still here

[@vonkiser]

@tecumseh22 he had the Gibson "V" he liked to play and I have seen photos of him with a Les Paul.

[@lambgtr7]

imagine what this man would have done with a delay pedal.....

[@mistrynp]

where is the winterland version of this? It is awesome too

[@stratocat9999]

Back in the day, I used to cover this song, with no clue how Jimi would have done it live, (I never knew he had done it live).We just took a guess and went for it. Hearing this, I can see we were not very close. :) But then, who would be?

[@infammotoben]

@4JayeP something only a demon could tame, with hendrix at the reins man, he really took the audience on a wild ride, hold on tight because the hendrix express stops for nobody!

[@cydonianman]

@cydonianman "the neck is maple but the fret board is rosewood... i think my guitar is a Telecaster btw." duh..mine IS a telecaster. it was my grandfather's till he died. i didn't know much about guitars till after my gramp's death a year ago. just found out recently from my great uncle that he built it himself. its got a humbucker bridge pickup. i still like noodling with it while my shoebox size amp at level 11

[@tokaicarl]

@chunksteak yeah spot on mate...i though machine gun wa sthe bollox(solo) until i heard that are solo were talkin about..its the melodic feedback that gets me in it....thank fuck they recorded that version properly..actually cant find it on here now thinkin about it \! peace

[@tecumseh22]

Master of the Stratocaster. I never knew him to use a Telecaster, 90% of the time he was a Stratocaster guy

[@Kelly14UK]

@4JayeP That's just the thing. I've seen him here on YT literally playing the feedback as it were an instrument itself. Spanish Castle Magic Stockholm 1969.

[@polymath7]

@Soundwasteland Goddammit though...the sound quality is nothing short of tragic, especially considering this may be the only live recording of this song.

[@jhendrixfanatic2]

Come on pt. 1, Phoenix, was just posted today! check my favorites. Enjoy

[@RastafariPoet]

Same didnt know either lol

[@Leyenda1]

@igotthewhip N shit! I would have been happy if the cameramen at Woodstock would have held the camera steady.

[@losronnos]

Well, he kinda invented the use of effects (for guitar).... Wah Wah pedal, Fuzz face, etc, he experimented alot with these.Just check Electric Lady land. He is the Man period.

[@cydonianman]

the neck is maple but the fret board is rosewood... i think my guitar is a Telecaster btw.

[@wushucyn]

oh man oh boy sit down.....

[@enurrequiem]

i have noticed that Justin Bieber is , the; sort of "Lamb Sacrifice" of you tube. 7 dislikes is. Seven unexplainable perspectives (w/closed minds)!!!!!!!

[@billbear99]

Technically it's the mixolydian mode. It's very simple: the song is in A and he's using the ordinary notes of the key of A except for the G sharp which becomes a G natural. But I prefer 'seems like he is shining light on the world' - that seems to get more to the core of the matter :-))

[@PedroPeyolo]

lmfaooo

[@WebAnt]

So,is that a good thing or a bad thing in terms of the quality of his music?

[@miatatommy2000]

man where did you get this recording I want it !

[@elecktrick9s99]

what energy

[@enurrequiem]

"i'm not sure what happened at 2:13.!!!!!!!!!!!"

[@Soundwasteland]

The mic is hard to hear man. Whats with the audio

[@posiden125]

igotthewhip if your going back in tyme to take a hd video why not just grab jimi and bring him back with you instead

[@Ghosted760]

Q. Why is it so hard to play like Jimi? A. You have to play the guitar AND the Marshall amps.... like you were sent down to earth from Olympus.

[@jimihendrix3885]

GOOD MORNING, BLACK PANTHER.

[@jimihendrix3885]

PAT HARTLEY, TOO LAZY TO PRACTICE ANYTHING EXCEPT CRAPPING ON, WHICH SHE IS VERY GOOD AT THIS.

[@mikealbert5509]

This sounds like shit! Hard to play Hendrix? You need to get your head out of you ass. Go watch Eric Johnson play this at 'Austin City'. The studio versions is full of back tracking and tricks to get that great sound...that Hendrix cant duplicate live...but Johnson does!11

[@Ghosted760]

mike albert Not hating... Eric Johnson does a great rendition, props.

[@haloskater24]

mike albert see that's the thing about hendrix, he does the song different from the studio version to spice it up.

[@joshuah47]

wow you must be really cool

[@TheTikobum]

"And the Lord said, let there be Jimi Hendrix; and then there was light. Jim was not that light but came into the world to share the knowledge of the light light. The world rejected that light and so it's backward today." Why God? Why pick on all of us and not just the backward folk. How much can a Koala bear? Nothing new under the sun since Jimi went to heaven.

[@elecktrick9s99]

what planet was he from anyways?

[@rollingstopp]

Alex harvey said you can reach more people with a telecaster guitar than you can with a Ak-47

[@toledoMonster]

i think he is playing the lion sleeps tonight?

[@brandonterzic]

he is playing a mixolyadian and a dorian mode---basically he is alternating between the major 3rd and the minor 3rd---- classic Jimi move----but then he just starts teasing the alga ether waves....

[@guitarzanproductions]

Jimi is tuned down a half step Intro Improv = A Mixolydian (D Maj)... The verse is A - G - D/F#. Chorus F - A

[@ospreybird]

not yet etc . thing

[@wiggler2001]

Reminds me of me ?/

[@sexypoetry]

i want to join the pole shift survival group or start the new one.

[@codehendrix]
