JIMI HENDRIX - SEPT & OCT 1970 (EPISODE 47)

[@BIZARBIES]

When I lived in Seattle in the early 90s, I went to Renton to see Jimi. He meant a lot to me growing up, I didn't listen to modern music and for 5 years I became a Hendrix devotee and tried to intake as much as I could. It was a quest in the 80s and 90s, trying to find bootlegs of bootlegs, and any live material was treasure. It's much easier these days, just type in what you want and boom! it's there for you. I became somewhat emotional when I stood by his grave site, and I was alone and able to say thank you to him for opening my ears and mind.

[@paullevine1813]

Well at least you now access to some great Live releases from the period & finding real soundboard bootlegs is not easy plus it's still a crime. I have several from the 70s that are very good & all of them are Live from 67 -68-time frame. One you can get as a double record or at least it was available legally is an Australian release called Never Fade, it is only on vinyl but one great record with one side Live one different studio tracks all very good with pretty good sound quality. My copy has a picture of him on the cover & the back has him playing a Les Paul. Google it you may get lucky. 🎸☮

Thank you of this. I was 1st ever to bring to public Jimi Hendrix Experience 22/5/1967 Helsinki, Finland gig. It was hard work to do so i searched it 30 years and it has to be restored video was in bad shape no sound has been found of that gig. I added Hasse Walli ' s guitar solo on it got many complains because adding Hasses solo in it but it was silent so you can turn volume off so its then original. But mr. Kurt Max did marvelous job if it by adding sound in it !! You can find it from KZbin. Many people are trying to buy that video its not for sale its a gift to fans all over the clobe to watch. Thanks for these epdisodes i hope they will continue in future.

Thank you so much! Cheers

I didn't discover Jimi until after 1975-76. Every guitar solo is like a mad wonderful journey. Ablaze with color and throbbing textures. Imaginative and ALIVE. That is how he'll live in my heart. Blazing away on the fretboard-burning down the nighttime and making love to sunshine. Got my first guitar in 1980. Gonna go play now. What a GIFT he left us. INSPIRATION! 🕊🕊 rip to Mitch and Noel too.

I love Jimi Hendrix and all the music he gave us. His death is so incredibly sad and a tragic waste. Even though I never knew him, I still find it painful. Great video, the whole series is a work of art. Thank you.

A Very Touching Memory Mate, Thanks!!!!!!!

[@crucifiddle]

Great episode. It's still so sad , even 54 years later. I was 10 when he died and I remember the kids at school talking about " the guy who could play guitar with his teeth". What a terrible waste and then, just a few weeks later, Janis died too.

Thank you BBW. Right after I turned 13 I became a full-fledged Hendrix fan. Some insulted me as I went thru the Ups + downs of my teen years. I listened to Bleeding Heart and Stepping Stone, moving the needle to the groove and dashed off to school freshman year. I think that because I was at that age Jimi and his music have always been a part of me for better and for worse. Now I am 38 + years older than when he died and in many ways am in line w/his messages that came out posthumously. He did seek God and Jesus Christ but only God and Jimi knew. But Straight Ahead and Angel tell us all about his stress and his premonition or fears that he would not be around long. On the one hand if he lived we would've missed out on a great deal of great music. Of course we wish he did. But he didn't. Thanks for putting it together in this modern age of computer information. May his music MOVE you BBW. Thanks for it all. Windrose. Ancient Hendrix fan.

Jimi Hendrix was the guy that got me into rock music way back in the day. NotThe Beatles, the Stones or any other band. Then I heard Purple Haze and that was my WTF is that moment. I still enjoy Purple Haze to this day. His diverse music catalogue makes him even more interesting to listen to as the years go by. I think about what a wild ride Noel, Mitch & Jimi had starting off The Jimi Hendrix Experience & even for Billy Cox & Buddy Miles it had to be crazy & fun. All of you gave much joy and happiness to so many people & will continue to as long as the music is played.

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

The most tragic events imaginable, but only a few surrounding him actually knew the devastating impact it had upon the music world. I remember the story of the funeral as being more of a circus of notoriety more than anything else. Immediately after his death there was a HUGE negative wave that poured over the 1960s counter culture in the U.S, and the right wing grabbed hold of it and never let it go. Liking Hendrix as a artist became synonymous with heavy drug use instead of liking heavier deeper music. Then the wave of lets turn up the volume and distortion bands came slightly later, but it wasn't even close to the bootleg Hendrix concert cassettes. That is when people started to realize what his death actually meant, and still does mean.

[@Albrecht777]

I respectfully disagree with (parts of) your assessment. In my opinion, the rot was immanent, as it is with almost anything that becomes a mass movement (for want of a better term). Altamont was a symbol of this, as was what happened at Fehmarn. I would also contend that Jimi's relationship with the so-called "counter-culture" was far more ambiguous and critically-minded than many give him credit for, as his own words and opinions, as well as the recollections of those around him, indicate. Just my take, of course.

[@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW]

Awesome!

[@tomh1593]

My uncle still remembers the kids at school being in shock and sad when everyone found out Jimi had passed away.

It is so bizarre that when every year this date comes around we always remember Jimi passing away so tragically but the biggest gift he left us was his music which I always play as a reminder of his genius Thank you Jimi RIP

[@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW]

Indeed! Cheers

[@davidbonner-k9b]

Sad shame I was only 5 at the time I said to my mother about him dead on the news round TV program for children and as I got older a guy from school gave me this guitarist named Jimi Hendrix and I had no clue about him but I did start to find his music on vinyl but however if I was born 10 years prior I'd been able to actually get a chance to see him doing a gig or concert but to me that's how fate plays on you and if Jimi was saved he'd ok for a while until he'd get fed up with playing the same old tracks over and over again when in concert or on stage because that'll drive him to pieces in the end God bless you JH ❤ you will the end of time you music is an inspiration to us all on earth.😊

I was in 8th grade. I came home from school and turned on the TV. First thing I saw was Jimi Hendrix had died. I began to cry out loud. No I thought. I've never cried over a single musicians death since.

@@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW Thanks so much my Brother for all your hard work and dedication to honor and keep alive the great legacy of the one most original and iconoclastic musicians and composers of his short time on this earth. I only wonder if Jimi knew the impact he and his work and his life would leave growing behind him. Once again many thanks Mate to you and your " Belly Button Window"!

Not one word on the news here in a town outside of Seattle about Jimi's passing on Sept 18, 1970. When I lived back east in the 60's and 70's . I went to a Led Zeppelin Concert at Madison Square Garden on Sept 19, 1970. No mention then either. Heard about it a few days later from a friend. Guess it was too early then, and too late now. His music, and influence lives on in our culture in all our lives .If you are an Earthling your life has been touched by his short 27 years in this realm. PEACE.

There is a recording on youtube of Robert Plant mentioning Jimi's passing on September 19 th at Madison Square Garden.

like the inside stories--so eric burdon never went to the funeral-?/

[@BIZARBIES]

In his mind he did 😂 He's also claimed that he's the Eggman from the Beatles song. The older Eric gets the more his stories get grandeur and almost comical.

[@crazypainter56]

@@BIZARBIES I have his books -maybe he was called the 'Eggman ' by John -who knows -they knew each other

i dont think Neal REDDING really dealt with the demise of JIMI HENDRIX. In an interview years later you could see how uncomfortable he was discussing the whole affair. HE referred to Jimi as " my friend" several " times reminiscing about the early days when he and jimi .took a well deserved break at a seaside resort just hangin out.

I’m surprised Billy cox didn’t go I Hurd that he stopped playing bass for a few years because of his death

[@kennyblackbird5674]

While on that very last tour Billy had gotten dosed with acid and had a bad trip. He was mentally incapacitated for a time.

How many people have avoided sleeping on their backs after jimis death .Why was Jimi staying in uk at the time (because he did isle of white fest and wanted to chill for a bit?)

[@HendrixJHE]

After IoW he had the short European tour which was aborted after the Isle of Fehmarn gig on Sept 6. There were other shows scheduled after Sept 6 but they were cancelled and he returned to London. It is interesting that for 12 days he remained in London. His EL Studio had just opened a few days before the IoW and you would think that he would have returned to NYC to continue recording there. Why he didn't I do not know. If he did, then Sept 18 as we know it would not be what we have come to know it to be. The passing of the most phenomenal musician and artist of that era. Its a sad date, one we have to deal with again in a few days.

[@kennyblackbird5674]

​@@HendrixJHEI think they were trying to pick up the pieces because they had to send Billy back to Tennessee because he had a bad acid trip. Jimi also had a court date in England over his contract situation if I'm not mistaken.
