JIMI HENDRIX Voodoo Child Live at Woodstock REACTION - The boy is from space!

[@malcolmhill7932]

I saw him in Virginia Beach in spring of 1968. I was 16. I am now 71. Of all the musical acts I've seen throughout the decades, no one holds a candle to the concert I saw that night. It truly was the Jimi Hendrix EXPERIENCE. Not only did he play the guitar, but the guitar played him. From that very night I became a lifelong fan, a guitarist, and a connoisseur of great guitarists. But in all the years since that night in '68, Jimi has remained at the top of the heap.

[@Doog1958]

You are so lucky, I envy you. 🇬🇧

[@dwhite849]

Years ago my college roommate bought tickets to see him. I had never heard of him. Saw him in a 4000 seat music hall. My jaw never left my knees the entire show.

It's like Jimi hendrix dropped in from space and then he was gone . Even by today's standards he was a phenomenon.

[@giuliogrifi7739]

Yeah, maybe he really was the "Starman" who was waiting in the sky wanting to come and meet us.....he come and blew our minds (in a good way), then he went away !

Legendary event. You sure picked a monster concert for your first one. 1969 was a wild and crazy time in every way it seemed. It just happened to fit with my life like hand in glove. Kind of a magical year is the way I will always remember it. My last year in high school. Big changes around the corner.

[@clarencewalker3925]

[@Mike-rk8px]

My father was at Woodstock for all 3 days, he never got over the experience. He was so happy when the movie came out, because he had unknowingly been given LSD in a cup of Pepsi about an hour before Hendrix took the stage. He was tripping big time watching Jimi play, and it was so amazing that he wasn’t sure what he was seeing and hearing was accurate, so when he saw the movie he was happy that it was exactly as he remembered it. About 10 years ago Jimi’s entire show finally got released on DVD and Blu-ray simply titled “Jimi Hendrix At Woodstock”.

[@mr.goodenough3796]

My father was there too, as a 17 year old about to be a senior. I was born 9 months later lol. He was most blown away by Jimi, Sly and the Family Stone, and Santana.

[@markrenton5791]

unknowingly been given LSD in a cup of Pepsi 😂 Thats what he told you😉

[@Mike-rk8px]

@@markrenton5791 I know it sounds suspicious, but he has always been open about the things he did. He had taken acid and smoked lots of pot and hash before Woodstock. He and the friends he went with went to one of the many stands at the festival where they were selling food and drinks, and even though it was early in the morning, he decided to have a cup of soda. He was given a styrofoam cup of it, and most likely the cashier that sold it to him spiked it or the cups themselves, because one of his friends bought a cup of 7-Up and ended up tripping too. There were warming’s at the festival that the brown acid that was going around was bad, and there were warnings about orange juice being laced with acid. Luckily my father and his friend had happy trips, because there were a lot of people there that had bad trips. I wouldn’t want to be in a crowd that size and flip out on a bad trip.

[@markrenton5791]

@@Mike-rk8px I was just joking because people tells things like that, when really want to tell the story but want to sound innocent 😂 But your father did it before and told, so it most be true. Cool story he so lucky to have been there 😀 Have you looked for him in the concert movie?

I saw Jimi in 1968 and 1970. One of a kind for sure.

[@craigreid7178]

I got to see him live about 2 weeks before he died. He absolutely blew me away! He played a 45 minute set which was surreal and then just pulled out his plug from the guitar and walked off stage. I was so impressed by how he played - his hands hardly moved as he could play amazing stuff on just one area of the fret board with very little wasted motion. I could hardly believe that what I was hearing was coming out of that guitar. I was flabburgasted.

I saw the great Jimi three times, two successive shows on the same day in Atlanta, Georgia in 1968 (I still have close up photos I took from the edge of the stage) and again at the Berkeley Community theater in California in 1970 a few months before he died.As a young guitarist, I was completely spellbound by Jimi and have been ever since. I first heard him in about 1967 when no one in America knew about him. I was coming back from trip to France with my mom and the Air France flight kept playing Hey Joe on its sound system every few minutes.

[@jimallison6125]

I got to see him twice in Miami in 1968 and a couple months before he died in 1970. Never disappointed.

I saw Hendrix during his first tour of the US on Dec. 1, 1968 at the Coliseum ( since torn down ) on the south side of Chicago. We took LSD. The Soft Machine opened for him and they were great - very impressive - I remember saying that Hendrix was going to have to blow the roof off to top their performance - and of course, he did. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience - he and the band were beyond anything anyone of us had ever heard - definitively psychedelic and unforgettable.

[@Hapmorii]

This was the greatest performance, the greatest guitar work, the greatest body swaying gyrations, the greatest of the greatest! Powerful, sublime, The guy was a virtuoso. He soared above everybody, maybe got too close to the sun and came crashing down. I've been listening to him for 50 years now. And sometimes I still can't believe what I'm seeing and hearing.

[@jwaldhelm]

[@TrueBagPipeRock]

from space, for sure. Somtimes, i watch him and wonder if he's really that good or not, but then, I realize I'm mesmerized in a trance. Jimi really brought the imagination imagery thru his music and it was like fantasia with pixie dust with all the symbols of rainbows and dragonflies and stuff coming from the music, it was like literature. No one else was quite like him.

[@webbtrekker534]

I never saw Jimi he was just a few years older than me but we were fellow Seattleites and went to rival High Schools. I have been to his grave many times taking visitors there and when I visit the grave of one of my school buddies who died in Viet Nam who is buried in the same cemetery. Quite an impressive site and always people there. You are rarely alone. If you were paying attention you could barely see him playing the guitar with his teeth.

I didn’t see Jimmy but I heard him along with Led Zeppelin not to far from where I lived in the Seattle area in 1970. 1969 it was such a transitional year for music from Hendrix to Zeppelin Deep Purple and all the psychedelic rock that was everywhere. It was and still is the best music that has ever been. 🍻 cheers my man.

[@Mike-rk8px]

Jimi is buried at Greenwood Memorial Park in Renton, if you’ve never been it’s worth visiting. In 1970 he was buried at that cemetery with a marble grave marker. In 2002 his coffin was exhumed and moved to another area of the cemetery where a family plot was set up, and there is a large 30 foot tall dome with 3 pillars and a memorial under it (there are no walls) that’s really beautiful.

[@davidcarter1434]

Love your reaction to Hendrix, Harri! Cause I absolutely LOVE Jimi! And like you, I wonder who Hendrix is, who he really is, where he came from, and where he is now. No one plays like Jimi, no one. Yes, there are other greats, and I've seen my share of them, but no one has ever touched the sheer originality, the dexterity, the imagination, the exquisite melodies he channeled, the astounding time and rhythmic changes he surprised our ears and souls with, or the musical intricacies he layered, one upon another, like the infinite regress of mirror images that stretch out and disappear beyond the beyond. I saw Jimi twice; once at Forest Hills Stadium, once at the Fillmore East. I went to the midnight show on New Year's Day, 1969. Now, I don't know how this will go over, but the truth is, this is the one time I must admit that the old cliché about the 60s describes my experience perfectly, ie, "If you lived through the sixties, you can't remember it! Usually it doesn't apply. In fact, I remember the first time seeing many of my fovorite artists - Sun Ra, Bob Marley, Mike Bloomfield & Elvin Bishop with Paul Butterfield; Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, The Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton (probably his first US show, on Bleeker Street, like in 1965). And of course, I remember the first time and the many, many times I saw The Incredible String Band. But the two time I saw Jimi I only remember that I was there. Honestly, I cannot for the life of me reconstruct the night, the experience, the songs, etc. And I cannot, for the life of me, re-live that moment in time, intellectually or emotionally. I think it's 'cause i respond first and foremost to lyrics, and Hendrix, while he wrote GREAT lyrics, he was mostly into astonishing music. I think he was beyond my ken, really, though I have grown. In fact, as the years pile up, I appreciate Jimi's unique genius more and more. I know it may be disappointing for you, but the truth is I was blown away seeing Hendrix and only remember that I loved being there. On the other hand, for some reason, perhaps what i said above, I remember vividly my emotional responses to each of the following songs of Jimi's, the first time I heard them (and all of them personal favorites): Little Wing, Pali Gap, Up From The Skies, Burning of the Midnight Oil, 1983, A Merman I Should Turn To Be, May This Be Love, Angel, Gypsy Boy, Belly Button Window, Castles Made of Sand, One Rainy Wish, and Are You Experienced.

[@markallan5484]

Jimi was the complete package -- brilliant musicianship, ground-breaking songwriting, planet-shattering live performances complete with mind-blowing stage presence ... well, you get the idea. I am so grateful that I heard him live in 1968.

[@boosingh]

Jimi had disbanded the Experience and was living in Ashokan a town near the town of Woodstock, jamming with some musicians. That is the group that played at Woodstock, hence the conga player and the second guitarist.

[@sharonsnail2954]

I saw The JHE several times in 1967. First time was in February at York University. IIRC (maybe) the band turned up on time but their equipment didn't. I went to try and find the organiser of the gig to find out what was happening. Eventually found him and the band in a classroom where Jimi was using the whiteboard. He invited me to draw something (I forget what) and he would draw on the same subject. My mind is very much serial and I can't draw, so I ended up with a stilted picture of a man whereas his was full of swirls. I remember thinking mine was more to the subject. Then the equipment arrived and they were on stage. He played a request for one of the students who had been with the band ensconced in the classroom. I can't remember what the song was but I doubt it was in the set list. The band gave the impression they could extemporise on whatever. Later that year I saw them at the Saville in London. The whole stage seemed to be covered with Marshall speakers. Then at Olympia, London at the end of the year. It was bloody cold in that huge barn of a venue. I think Jimi played "Sgt. Pepper" and/or "Wild Thing" (I got engaged over that Christmas so I was pre-occupied). Jimi was a superb showman and a ground breaking guitarist. His synergy with Mitch Mitchell was amazing. I think if he had lived and stayed with Mitch they could have ended up playing more jazz tinged music, hopefully with Steve Winwood. (Aside: Of all the great guitarists I saw over that period, at the end of 1967 Peter Green was may favourite)

[@roygoad2870]

So glad I saw Jimi at the Isle of Wight festival 1970, seeing him live was unbelievable, gives me chills just to remember that moment, seen many great live acts in my time but Jimi was something special ❤.

Jimi was from the Seattle area, as am I. I used to go dancing at a place called Parker’s in North Seattle back in 1964…..had fake ID to get in. One Saturday night, there was this guy named Hendrix playing. Turned out he wasn’t that great to dance to…….we all just stopped and listened. It was pretty wild and heavy stuff for that time. I don’t think he was hired back,…….I mean, it was a dance hall after all. 😉. Imagine my surprise when his first album dropped in 1967…….and how magnificent it was! ✌️✌️

Hendrix was otherworldly for sure! I'm thinking that the guy on congas may have been heavily tripping and was overwhelmed by looking out at the crowd when he didn't have the congas to focus on. It would have freaked me out even sober! I believe that artists are conduits for music and other arts that are floating around in the ether. I can't even count how many times artists have said something like "it came to me in a dream" or "I don't know where it came from, it just popped into my head out of nowhere". Happens over and over

Hendrix died in September of 1970. I saw Jimi for the launch of his last "Cry of Love" tour in April of 1970 at the Inglewood Forum. Dude was in the best mood I have EVER seen in any filmed performances. He was playing with Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell, following his good friend, Buddy Mile's Express band. By then, Hendrix had so evolved his headspace, he was hardly interested in playing old songs. He wanted people to really get the message he was now putting out, Power of Soul, Message of Love, Machine Gun (incredibly deep protest not just of Viet Nam, but ALL wars) , Easy Rider, Hey, Baby, Hear My Train a'Comin (he knew he was soon gone) Even in the studio, Jimi IMPROVISED his guitar solos. I never saw him play the solo of Voodoo Child (Slight Return) quite like the take they captured on Electric Ladyland. Eventually, his endless retakes for just the right improvised performance costs too much to keep paying out to studios... so they built Electric Lady. Too late

In case you didn't know, Jimi taught himself to play at 9 years old. I almost forgot to mention a small little detail. As a kid growing up in Seattle, his daddy got him a cheap little guitar, but it was a righty (most people are right-handed) but Jimi was left-handed. No worries, young Jimi just flipped the guitar upside-down and taught himself to play all of the chords and music upside -down and backwards. If you watch any of Jimi's video footage, you'll see he's got his Fender Stratocaster upside-down! It's absolutely amazing that not only does he play it upside-down, he is not just proficient, but considered to be the greatest ever by most people and fellow Rock guitarists over the decades. He to Rock guitar, what Bruce Lee was to Martial Arts. The greatest ever. Being from Seattle Washington myself, I kind of favor Jimi.

There is much more to this performance than what you just saw. Big cut in the middle there. If you google "Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child Facebook" they have the full song on there.

[@bogusmcbogus2637]

This is such a heavily cut version of the song. Find the Woodstock DVD and watch it. His performance is several minutes longer than this. He goes directly into the American national anthem after this. He basically plays nonstop from Voodoo Child to the Star Spangled Banner, Purple Haze, an incredible improvisation, another song I can't think of. It's several minutes of nonstop performance. Then he comes back and gives an encore of Hey Joe before the set finishes. You've got to get the Woodstock DVD. You're right, he was like a savant. There won't be another musician on his level for centuries.

[@rickbailey-ty8bq]

Even the DVD version is edited, the raw recording is about 15 minutes, Larry Lee got a couple solos. Experience hendrix mixed out and edited out Jerry Velez, juma sultan and Larry Lee as much as they possibly could. In red house jimi breaks a string, exp hendrix would have you believe he just kept playing. Nope. Larry took a LONG solo while Eric Barrett (one of jimi's roadies) changed the string.

I don't know who was reacting to it lately but I remember and I just Googled this young lady from the 1940s, sister Rosetta Tharpe gospel singer electric guitar player. I can't remember might have been you a but I can't remember it's been so long ago weeks months. Then you got another electric guitar player before his time Chuck Berry. Definitely before our time. And I think Jimi Hendrix is related to Chuck Berry.
