Jimi Hendrix Experience "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" LIVE - First Time Reaction

[@L33Reacts]

What track by Jimi should I check out next?

[@VereinPlatzhirschamHirschenpla]

Anything, but maybe a ballad would be nice, like Drifting or Angel from Cry Of Love.

[@joyous-b8j]

"Room full of Mirrors"

[@jonncockrell3606]

Dolly Dagger

[@BennyCasino-iv1vz]

Have you done Pali Gap?

[@brianwacker9111]

South Saturn Delta. Cherokee Mist. One of the studio jams with Larry Young or something, it’s all got a spark of his unique fire. Happy New Year!

[@Hairyfoot_Studio]

Amazing stuff, Jimi righly gets the plaudits but Noel and Mitch absolutely kill it and deserve lots of love for what they did with The Experience

[@wjl2601]

Realising this must have been impacted like a big bomb in those late sixties, more than 55 years ago..............! What a drummer by the way.

[@realbser1956]

These albums from Jimi are pure gold. Thanks, Lee.

[@brucefelger4015]

I'm 70, still can't forget how Jimi changed music forever!

[@williammcdonald5325]

Not only arguably the best Rock/Blues guitarist, but the most influential. He freaked out people with what he introduced to the world of Rock, on his guitar. He did things that nobody even dreamed were possible. When he played for the first time in a small London pub in England, guys like Pete Townsand, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page were in the audience to see this young Black guy from America, who thought he was as good as them. Not only was he as good, he blew those guys out of the water. They were shocked at not just his playing prowess, but what he was playing, and what the hell was he doing to get all of those crazy sounds out of his Stratocaster? Eric Clapton was literally shaking so bad in disbelief at what he just heard Hendrix play, that Pete Townsand had to take his shaking hand and light his smoke for him. Townsand famously said to a still visibly shaken Clapton, "This guy is going to put us all out of business." When you can make guys like Townsand and Clapton feel inferior, you're not just good, you are special. Jimi was special.

[@bengazeley9730]

Paul Kossoff saw him in The Refectory, Golders Green London and he turned out pretty good too!

[@davescurry69]

​@bengazeley9730 I think the point was he was even freaking out already established players.

[@tomedmonson501]

Make sure to see Chris Squire’s comments about being in the opening act for that appearance by Hendrix at Marquee club. Fascinating and funny.

[@poptart4260]

There’s nothing to say , drop jaw and look stunned!!

[@glenndespres5317]

It’s a gem!

[@ROUGHSEES]

Thank you for all that you do, Lee. Keep spreading the music.

[@glenndespres5317]

He’s an amazing young man, isn’t he? He’s come a long way and he’s nowhere near done.

[@ROUGHSEES]

It's easily one of my favorite Hendrix tracks. I've never heard this exact one, but it's incredible!

[@ralphthomas7868]

Hendrix was an interdimensional being that graced us for a short time, cleansing us of our musical sins.

[@shirleybhs9zd6li5i]

Finally the ultimate explanation.

[@sailingguy6812]

Lee, your observations on past and present are humbling. We are all time travellers ...we move forward in time...and we have the greatest gift in this ether in that we can bring the past with us.The greatest musical, literature ...whatever ....we can see and learn from and make things better going forward, No one wants to go back and change our past.....but we can take our past and change our future.

[@corawheeler9355]

Chat-stopping music from Jimi ... love it

[@keithmccaslyn2527]

Theres a reason Souls,like Myself & Others,have been listening to Jimi for 50 Plus years, 54 here. he was right down to Earth and Cosmic as heck too, Man. One of a kind and once in a lifetime. I was 12 years old when Jimi left this Planet, I found out a few years later that I could have seen him at 12 yrs old for 5 dollars. I literlaly sat on my bed and cried at this. Special is the word. Play on Jimi,Play on,Man!

[@shirleybhs9zd6li5i]

You know I was sick if I missed my boy Jimi. Too good for words, him and his guys. Thanks L33 for embracing this unassuming Northwest boy for the genius he was. Blessings all.

[@allenlocke1935]

That very sharp picking attack at the very end...that was Jimi picking with his teeth! I've seen him do it enough to instantly know that sound, freaking incredible! The whole performance...chilling!

[@dawnschneider187]

I love watching your reactions to all of the awesome music we grew up with. I can remember my dad playing Jimi really loud when it first came out. Other young people would gather to ask who it was... Hendrix kicks ass!

[@tonetone7572]

this was a wild show where Hendrix had driven the crowd into a near frenzy , unfortunately like a lot of live Hendrix were' unable to see the insane theatrics and guitar tricks Jimi usually pulled out on Voodoo Child - playing under his legs rubbing up against the amp ect.. the last few lead riffs are with his teeth.

[@johnthursfield3056]

It's hard to imagine Jimi without Mitch but he only got the job on the toss of a coin. They couldn't decide whether to go with Mitch or Ainsley Dunbar and so tossed a coin to decide, the rest is history

[@heartoftherose]

When I saw Hendrix in 1968 in Tampa, Florida, he opened with Cream's version of "Crossroads" - who opens with a cover?

[@patrickscutella836]

Jaco Pastorius did a similar thing when i saw Weather Report. He was by himself on stage for his solo. At the end he laid his bass on the ground and walked off the stage as the feedback and rumbling of his bass continued.

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

Just incredible

[@joyous-b8j]

Middle section is "Sunshine of My Love" by Cream!!🐐🎸🔥RIP JIMI !!!

[@fineasfogg1461]

I am so looking forward to this❤

[@StevenOslica]

The greatest rock guitar anthem

[@richgaluppo4417]

The L.A. Forum is also the scene of many of Zeps greatest shows starting with "Bonzo's Birthday Party" 9/70, through the historic run of shows in 1977. Thanks for the Jimi.

[@andymccracken4046]

I'm going to buy this CD!!

[@ricardodinapoli21]

I got it as a present years ago, it's great !!! :)

[@ricardodinapoli21]

Jimi was a force of nature, even before touching a guitar, when he was a child, he had the music, the incredible sounds inside him. I'm reading a great book by his Brother Leon. I suggest any live version of " RED HOUSE". Thank you !!

[@spinynormanbest6410]

My favourite Jimi track

[@StevenOslica]

I was 8 years old in 69 wouldn't change it if i could unless youwere there you have no idea

[@StevenOslica]

Cry of love lp

[@jimideaton]

MMMM, Jimi...

[@will-x9c]

Your ruminations are most interesting and insightful, you always say way more than you realize. The world IS run by capitalist oligarchs, hidden in plain sight. You don't benefit from capitalism, only capitalists do. You benefit from free enterprise. There's a world of difference. Jimi got out of the army and said, "Now what? I might as well become the greatest musical innovator the world has ever known. Other than Mozart that is who wrote symphonies at age six. I'm getting a late start, I'd better get my butt in gear." Words to that effect. His effortless shredding was almost an afterthought. A lot of guitarists can shred. Jimi created and explored new worlds. Here then gone. I think it up and my reaction is the same as it was those many years ago - "What the..."

[@freda1182]

Really great!!!💥

[@davidwolf4677]

This song is like a runaway freight train.

[@ianlaker9161]

Mitch had to be one bad ass drummer to keep up with the force of nature that was Jimi Hendrix. That man got more sounds out of a guitar than anyone else in history.

[@TURTLES_FOR_LIFEEE]

Very Last part playing with Teeth.

[@dadmateryn8092]

You so are correct about not being connected. Girls were actually interested in you back then.

[@davescurry69]

Lee, did you get around to reacting to the studio version of this?

[@johnthursfield3056]

Never heard this version, I thought it might be the one from In The West but obviously not.

[@mattreynolds612]

Live always sounds better live lmao 🤣

[@madintuitsports5513]

Purple Haze in Atlanta 1970 would be a fun one, for you to react to. Just sayin!

[@madintuitsports5513]

Easy Ryder studio version is pretty awesome and “influential” as you would see after listening.

[@toma411]

Dont think Hendrix ever heard "less is more" lol

[@glenndespres5317]

If he did, he just laughed.

[@jimholt1888]

A religious experience.

[@rickc661]

Look for the DVD ( I think the Hendrix estate owns the rights ) from a private guy who snuck on stage @ W'stock.... I Much prefer it to the official W'Stock film crew version. look for thee girls on stage with pets, not 10 ft away

[@slipstreammonkey]

People gotta check out this Hendrix set prior to The Experience jamming some real Psychedelic Funk, a decent musician reactor on the whole with some nice deep cut artists. Love Airplay beats and anyone who comes from a place of humble talent. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJPdeYmlqKt8l9Esi=_FxNBHtMjm9crwrP

[@steveowens2505]

Jimi is not of this Earth

[@IZZY_EDIBLE]

How could Hendrix love Cream that much, yet throw shade at Led Zeppelin?

[@tonetone7572]

i recommend you do this one next- some of the greatest Jimi you will ever hear- Stone Free Live from The Fillmore Band Of Gypsies 1-1-70 2nd set kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKvdoq2Apc6Nm6M

[@Umbriel-c8r]

This song only makes me think of hulk hogan

[@RalphSpoiledsport]

"Voodoo Chile" not "Child"

[@VereinPlatzhirschamHirschenpla]

Chile is slang for child

[@ROUGHSEES]

This song is called voodoo child (slight return)

[@davescurry69]

"Voodoo Chile" is the long, slow blues on Side One of Electric Ladyland. The shorter, heavier, proto-metal classic featured here (and on Side Four of Electric Ladyland) is "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)".

[@hesch-tag]

I have a book with a photo of the original lyrics and it says Voodoo Child slight return. However somewhere on that same piece of paper he also wrote Voodoo Chile slight return. So I guess to Jimi they were just the same. I prefer Child because it makes it less confusing as the longer version definitely is called Voodoo Chile.

[@marxman00]

Its child ..it was a typo on the album

[@luisreyguerrero6511]

Prefiero “banda dé gitanos “

[@dannyc8041]

Just for fun, a Hendrix, Vaughan Voodoo Chile double would be a fun, fun listen.

[@thescrewfly]

Don't worry, I can live without a video and I'm sure many other viewers can too. Did you actually do the studio version? I don't recall seeing it. So... if not, why not?

[@julienmarquet8612]

Great....Thanks again, you're the only channel who does some Jimi Hendrix music, Mitch, Noel, Billy, Buddy, and so much musicians hé played with, and made tribute to,etc...BUT, "VOODOO CHILD , SLIGHT RETURN", you,really, have to watch the whole video 12’39 minutes long, LIVE WOODSTOCK😢IT'S THE MOST MONSTRUOUS THING YOU WILL EVER SEE....I hope one of your followers will be able to send it to you (I tried from France, IT didn't worked),I hope one of your followers will be able to send it to you, and see you react to it....
