[@craigratajczak6721]

The footage of this show is from a London concert at the time London concert goers wore their best suits and behaved much differently than a typical American crowd The Beatles commented on that in 1964 when they came to America. In fact Asian crowds are still to this day very reserved much like the London concert goers from these days. Plus they were in awe LOL

I heard a story a long time ago about Jimi. Goes something like this. Jimi was on tour in England. Paul McCartney got a hold of Eric Clapton and wanted to go see Jimi play. Before the first song was over, McCartney leaned over to Clapton and said "This changes everything." Pretty high praise from a rock & roll legend.

[@benjamin-papa]

bruh I heard Clapton cried when he heard Jimi play lol dunno how true that is tho

Very true. His sound is a direct result of his adaptation. Which has inspired legions to his sound. Another Champion southpaw.

[@danareynolds1786]

And, although not shown in this video, Jimi would play both rhythm AND lead on the same guitar. It's a technique that was originally from the Celts. Mother Maybelle Carter popularized it in the US in the 1930s with The Carter Family playing Old-Fashioned Hill Country music, aka Country music.

[@QuestionSleep1995]

There will never be another Jimi he was definitely one of a kind what makes him even more fascinating is not only did he help to popularize/revolutionize the use of the electric guitar but he was also a self taught guitar player and didn't know how to read music well which only further adds to his legendary status knowing that a lot of his music was coming from his soul and the feeling he was trying to communicate he showed people the potential of an instrument and that it was much more than that it was an extension of oneself RIP to The Voodoo Child

[@wddub9075]

Oroborus Just an old blues song from that genre that Jimi out his brand on

[@peteryoungpeteryoung965]

Oroborus. Saw Jimi in 1967 at Spalding Lincolnshire in what was probably the first ever open air festival in England, when I was an 18 year old student. The headliners were The Move and The Moody Blues. There were a lot of unknowns on the same bill apart from Jimi, like Pink Floyd and Cream, we knew who Clapton was because of John Mayall and the Beano album. Dont know who the promoter was but he must have had an eye for greatness. I don't think any of us realised what we were witnessing, we were lost in a cloud of dope smoke, saw Jimi again at Isle of Wight in 1970, by then I was a committed Jimi nut and have been ever since.😁

[@kevinscott59]

The summer of "love" took place during the time of urban riots.

Yeah I was going to make a request for SRV since you love the guitar so much. If you are looking for an eargasm, listen to some Stevie Ray. He is another one of those guitarists that you can tell right away its them simply by hearing them on the guitar. One of the most popularly known songs that you probably already heard is Love and Joy. But if you really want to hear him go off on the guitar then another song I would suggest is Texas Flood.

[@alexanderkutschera149]

I have been watching your videos for a while now...... As an old timer, I was born in 1960, I find that I prefer to watch reactions to music that I grew up hearing and loving, if the Reactor appears to be genuine I will check them out further. I find your videos to be genuine and insightful. One of your observations in this video impressed me in particular, you commented on how the crowd reacted to the performance, Hendrix's playing will always hold up and it will never change..... The audience is a different story. The kids you see at that concert, who seemed so square and polite, were in as much awe at seeing Jimi's performance as you were. In the eyes of their society them just being at that concert meant that they were REBELS and it was a cause of the greatest concern to the older generations. If you want to see some music with an interesting twist I suggest you check out "The Cleverlys" you'll be familiar with most of the titles but I'm sure that what they bring to them will surprise you!!!! Thank you for your reactions!

Totally agree with you about Stevie Ray. Another legend that will never die. N'yeah, SRV's Voodoo Chile and Little Wing are epic. Hope those two finally met. ☮️

Jimi's first tour in the 60's was opening up for the Monkeys which was a teeny bopper band so most of those kids were under 14 and mom or dad brought them. Needless to say he didn't last on that tour. But yeah people were still getting over the 50's politeness.

[@rondascorpio5172]

Jimmy was definitely one of my all-time favorites and probably the best guitarist

[@grahamkey8496]

Shaq: Look how calm he is! Jimi: Hold my guitar pick...

[@Apoetess6969]

You should listen to some Heart... Barracuda or Crazy on You... get some girl power going on!!

[@ThemrRewind]

Ooooooooooh...... BARRACUDA *air guitar intensify's* What a tune

[@kimskaggs8289]

I've also requested some lady rockers...Heart, Pat Benetar, Blondie to name a few. Shaq we wanna hear some ladies!

[@beerjug339]

Jimi "GOAT guitar" Hendrix.

[@laurieh985]

If you're wondering about the strange audience reaction, it's because this video was from a concert in Europe in 1967 (France, I think). They never heard this kind of American rock/blues music before.

[@jinawatts3559]

Hi Precious wonderful reaction to the greatest man that loved people who respected his hard work and didcation ot music is a wa

[@jvnbrk]

He's calm cause he's high AF lol,I wished I lived then man. Well for the good parts of the 60s anyway. Awesome reaction Shaq👋👋👋👋👋👌

[@jeffbuckley4453]

thats not why hes calm wtf??

[@jvnbrk]

@@jeffbuckley4453 its a joke brother pump the brakes,but i guarantee you,hes high AF lol...he was most the time as everyone in the 60s. Its unfortunate but the truth is heroin killed him. Choked on his own puke while asleep. So yeah more than likely being high kept him calm.Anyway thats why lol is in there,so you dont take it that seriously,but yeah probably true since you went there

[@jeffbuckley4453]

@@jvnbrk he didnt die on heroine.dude. it was barbiturates (sleeping pills) and hes not high in the performance, either. u want to see him high. go look at the monterrey pop video.

[@jvnbrk]

@@jeffbuckley4453 whateva

[@banyarling]

@@jvnbrk just admit you're wrong and go read "Electric Gypsy"

[@AntiFed1791]

You know Jimi Hendrix lived with the Isley Brothers. Back in the day when Jimi was broke and homeless, they took him in. Jimi played with them on a few tracks. Ernie Isley talked about listening to Jimi practicing this song in his house.

[@Tennisman81]

Ernie tried to imitate his style a lil you can hear it in a couple of their songs like "Whose that lady"

[@williegilbert9852]

Ernie Isley could rock! Not as good as Hendrix but Ernie put down some tasty solos!

[@sammybeck7794]

You are right. Jimi Hendrix died at the age of 27. This is the list of the 27 Club: Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse just to mention a few

[@kmburton]

Thanks for the reaction. You have to understand that in 1968 no one had heard anyone play like that. The audience was stunned most of the time. The only person I have ever heard that could touch his playing was Stevie Ray Vaughn. If your interested in what I am talking about watch both of their playing of Jimi's song Voodoo Child (slight return)

[@ladyyankeerebel3067]

He played that right handed guitar, left-handed upside down! Bad Ass!

[@jamesbrest8524]

If you think that was awesome you should react to Jimi Hendrix playing the Star-Spangled Banner best version I’ve ever heard!!!

[@brandonrose4388]

Absolutley agree

[@TheDivayenta]

Also watch Jimi playing Wild Thing at the Monterey Pop Festival- when he humps then sets the guitar on fire.

[@kylo7201]

Should do voodoo child or little wing

[@rukus9585]

He's already playing a right handed guitar, left handed to start off with. He was a genius.

[@phillipprior71]

He was a green beret in Vietnam. Listen to the "Star Spangled banner". By Jimi hendrix. He adds the sounds of war between the words of the star spangled banner.If you listen really close you'll hear rockets flying over and exploding, along with some machine gun fire.

[@markjohnson4217]

Hendrix was always in the zone...his ears, my God his ears heard things we will never know

[@markpumm1178]

That’s Bob Dylan’s grandmother on bass guitar.

[@zylem13]

Classic! Even Noel Redding (that dude), would crack a smile.

[@TheSOUNDMAN513]

Monterey Pop!!

[@lexbc3910]

You should try out Bold as Love, my personal favorite Hendrix song.

[@paulsummers5658]

Music is colorless. It comes from the depths of our souls.

[@nettieforce1]

We know Hendrix started it all. All guitarists owe him. Big.
