I wasn't alive when you were Jimi, but I miss you, everybody does. What a musical genius.

[@hydrolaural]

I second that :)

[@nellymoriarty_5783]

For real, what a shame such genius wasted early in life Sure would've loved to seen him, better yet, met him

[@oghash4912]

He will be w everyone forever 👼🏽🕊️ yes he was a musical genius, purely inspired

Best thing America ever gave the rest of the world 👍

The only person who could START a show with Voodoo Child and go up from there.

no shit

[@sammuniz5360]

"Are You Experienced" sounds like he opened the doors to eternity. Amazing!

[@edgarsifuentes3248]

Are you experienced was Metal af

[@jimmyj5035]

This was Jimi Hendrix at the absolute Peak of his Powers... the Greatest Power Trio of All-Time!

[@nellymoriarty_5783]

I agree Very powerful, a fav trio of mine

[@On_Dust]

I think most powerful power trio you could hear live in '68 was Blue Cheer. I wasn't alive then as many here on the comment section. But if they were so heavy on their albums, imagine from up close. 😅.

[@sloburnjo]

@@On_Dust not in Jimi's universe - i like BC but are just blunt musickal objects - Jimi was high art 😉. The Who / Pete Townsend, the Jeff Beck Group & Cream were close. Imho.

[@nellymoriarty_5783]

@@On_Dust thanks, I'm going to look into them

[@warrengauthier4699]

Rush rates pretty high although a different genre of music.

[@martshankleman]

One of his best shows. Singing on top form, guitar perfect, Mitch and Noel on top form. Wild but disciplined. Oh for a soundboard recording!

[@trippy_tearzzz]

This is beautiful love to see this channel still being active

[@samlewis7878]

This is it, man. Jimi and the group playing exactly 53 years ago.!... the year the Coliseum was built. Sept. 7 , 1968 ! If only we could turn the clock back....even for 59.27 .

[@coffeesnob7600]

Red House, always my go to track on any recording, never ever fails to amaze me.

[@flycorvus]

High five, pal! :-)

[@jackstonehenge]

This show is my new favorite. Awesome set list voodoo child. Come on. Little wing. Are you experienced.

[@iremo1977]

Life ended too soon. The music he gave us is way ahead of his times as if he has time travelled. Thanks for all the great songs you have left for future generations

[@jimygrahammusic]

AND THE GODS MADE JIMI HENDRIX..

[@TubeMeHard]

i love the fact the uploading date in (almost) the same as the show date. cant believe it is over 50 years. miss you Jimmy!

[@diannesims3890]

Love Jimi, BEST GUITAR PLAYER EVER, YOU ARE SO MISSED 💞🎶💞🎶💞✨️

[@jimmylee2678]

Thank you Jimi Hendrix! You're my #1 since '69 listening to Electric Ladyland through headphones at Dave's crashpad. Jimmy Lee in Chicago.

[@cwicwer5749]

What people witnessed at Vancouver ‘68 was amazing.

[@stephendoherty2010]

I love the solo on Voodoo Child Slight Return it’s excellent..

[@edgarsifuentes3248]

Voodoo was heavy blues but when he improvised it and did it fast it was metal af!🔥🎸

[@marvymarier8988]

It's wonderful to see so many Jimi Hendrix fans , young and old . My favorite albums are "Bold as Love"and "Electric Ladyland" See you on the other side , and "dont be late "

[@SpeegBJ]

Omg who found this? Beautiful. Same set he played in Cincinnati in '68. I was 20. A defining experience to this day.

[@dr0benway]

he started the cincy set with Fire. and let mitch cut loose.

[@ci3008]

53 years ago today. Damn....

[@rainbowbridge4766]

❤️ Jimi

[@hanginnik1377]

Jimi: "Hello, Canada. How are you doing?" Vancouver *Screams with excitement* Some random dude: "Move over, you holder. And let Jimi take over!" Legends.

[@johnwattdotca]

When I saw Jimi at Maple Leaf Gardens he talked about playing in Vancouver.

[@erewrw1906]

before or after the concert? cause maple leaf was good too. did he like the vancouver?

[@johnwattdotca]

@@erewrw1906: Jimi kept a mike to his face between songs, talking while he changed effects on the floor, settings on his amps and talking to the two roadies up front. Jimi said Canadian audiences were better than Americans because they were into the music. I'm very happy I saw Jimi live or else I wouldn't know who he was. It changed my life.

[@erewrw1906]

@@johnwattdotca great, i understand i think. I love his live playing the most, and search trough all these audiences recs, even sound is suppar for shure. so , i undersztand, actually having professional recordings, that would be absolutely awesome. no doubt i would enjoy them for decades on high volume and good soundsystems. shure it was double special beeing there. Im happy for you! very happy. He just played on-point some times more, sometimes a bit less, absolutely astonishing. Good vibes, and if you were lucky even got some good smoke, wich was more common then this days IMHO.. Just enjoying my first times smoking the vietnamese and Thai Cannabis from the 70s. Many cool things happend then, but they also do today. PEacee hahah

[@johnwattdotca]

@@erewrw1906: Nice reply. When I said loud I meant if you were playing guitar through a Marshall amp. Jimi wasn't super loud. He had no PA speakers onstage. All the wires from the stage went to two table with two roadies who had a copper disc they turned, while they watched Jimi move. The wires from the tables went across the floor and up all the aisles between the seats, up to the top, where you didn't see any speakers. When Jimi moved left the two roadies turned the copper discs and the sound moved left, up and down, all around, and when Little Wing was flying away everyone was looking up in the rafters. Jimi described it as his axis of sound, saying he was in the middle, also describing the way the seats were organized and priced as far as getting all the stereo effects. He was very scientific

[@johnwattdotca]

@@erewrw1906: When I was out for over twenty-four hours on a long distance bike-hike around the Niagara Peninsula, walking along Lake Erie beaches, I was thinking about what you said, and tried to think of my favorite Hendrix releases. Except for albums Hendrix put out when he was alive, only "Hendrix in the West" and "A Cry of Love" are worth buying. Jimi was extremely conscious of his rock star status, and had complete control over all his product, his first album being his to record how he wanted, what he waited for. Only after he died did video emerge of Jimi playing an acoustic guitar, and it was a 12-string, something I don't think he recorded with, for sure, not onstage. Why listen to Jimi when he didn't want you to hear it, all those wasted blues jams with musicians where that's all they could play? A double live album, a "bootleg", called "Hendrix in L.A." was good, sounding good. Jimi does an Am, G and F instrumental jam, something easy to try and play along with those chords. Same with "Belly Button Window" on Cry of Love, an easy, Chuck Berry style rock and roll rhythm, three chords, only slow, with one track of Jimi singing and one track of Jimi playing a wah-wah, easy for you to get into the mix. This could be Jimi's version of Johnny B. Goode, a song Jimi did live. Instead of a crowd shouting at a guitar player who is onstage, it's about being a baby in the womb who is looking out a belly button window and he's not sure he wants to come out. I'm happy to be here... today. I hope you're okay.

[@김용득-s8f]

Wow! Jimmy Hendrix, who's always cool! It's the best.

[@tomisalonen8029]

What a fantastic version of little wing. The Solo on this one is absolutely fantastic kind a makes you wish it never ends

[@toddmartin6572]

Amazing quality!! I wish his show from ima auditorium in flint Michigan would surface!!! Please!!! I have a pic and ‘original’ concert bill from that show..

All u gotta say or think is Jimi, and the Experience begins!

[@lmaoyoumadbro.5098]

yes more live!!!

[@warrengauthier4699]

Some of my earliest days of listening to my parents music involved an 8-track of Jimi:)

"Are you Experienced" I am ! Perfect music for a little trip .

[@jackp8583]

Yeah, this is the stuff, right around when they recorded the 1st 2 albums. Played very straight to the recordings with Jimi providing impromptu genius. Thank you for all you've given me, my brother from another mother. ✌

[@Bkayplays4270]

Nah they had both been out a year, Electric Ladyland was on the horizon, hence him playing "Come On..." And "Voodoo Child"

[@Gianni.S]

The dream continues the Myth always relives in our hearts The Best Jimmy🎤🎸🎶🎵

[@clemenza24]

Jimi sounded great but really wish cameras would have been rolling

[@gailsatterlee3963]

I saw him perform with Little Richard and again, just before his death. The World stopped the day he died. Such a terrible loss. Mesmerizing, in a class by himself. He wanted to go Classical, can you imagine. That would have been incredible.

[@BasVossen]

Where was that? Memories? Was Jimi allowed to sing?

[@MarArraes]

Little wing sempre linda demais ✌🏻🦋

[@TomTom-xp2jb]

The other Hendrix concert was in the cow barn(Agridome) I know bcz that was the show I had tx for but missed my ride!!! Really sucked but I'm over it now. lol Cheers!!! 🎸❤️🖖

[@oghash4912]

Haha ✌🏼 I wish I was around back then

[@1966human]

So incredibly lucky these days, we can go to a Hendrix concert in 68

[@BrandonRob206]

How can you dislike this??????

[@johnwattdotca]

Listen to Jimis' records the way he made them and wanted you to listen to them, with stereo headphones, just lay back and groove on a rainy day.

[@musselchee9560]

Perhaps not disliking the music, no one could dislike Jimi's sounds, rather sending a message to the owner(s) of this channel.

[@johnwattdotca]

@@musselchee9560: I'm back to say that Jimi was controversial in his time. At the time, people would say he's famous like Bob Dylan, if you liked him you really liked him. Jimi paid an English electrical inventor to convert U.S. air force radar technology for electric guitar. Jimi had the first phase shifter and other effects. The Fender Stratocaster was the first instrument in human history to have individual, two-way adjustable bridges for each string. Jimi would plug a Strat into an oscilloscope to tune it, what TV repairmen used to tune TVs. Jimi invented scientific tuning, why his overdubs and effects worked better. Back then, a lot of people thought Jimi made too much noise, if you weren't into it. Don't forget, Jimi was a huge corporate business, part of the British Invasion, getting paid the most of any rock band before he was murdered.

[@oghash4912]

Thank you James Marshall Hendrix

[@jenniferhaynes8625]

He was a cool kid,when I research him and listen to his music I think about my dad because they were about the same age. I wish that Jimi could've made it to his 80's like my dad. He was mixed up with things that hurt him.❤to Jimi.I want to give him a spiritual hug.

[@damonarvid3548]

I remember this was unlistenable. Now it's listenable. He's doing all the parts of Voodoo Chile, no mean feat. Experienced... 1983 was still much in mind, a segue into 3rd Stone would have been next level. Come On was like 10 years of R&B history melded into one jam. Little Wing for his grandma? Feedback coda into Fooxey... and then the requested family blues for the Hallelujah section. Thanks!

[@erewrw1906]

@@Phobosuchus1 but i thought at this concert some relatives were at concert. But they didnt seem to like it too much. they left mid concert i recall. well lets assume they deeply inside loved it, but didnt wanna show it to the surroundings. its not enjoyable if people diss you for what your doing, so probably that may be reason. this was a great concert for my taste, and sounds quiet acceptable soundwise

[@MorpheusOne]

@Damon: While this isn't completely `unlistenable`, this is still shit sound quality. I don't know if this was remastered or not; but, if it was remastered...and this trash is the good version...somebody did one helluva half-assed/terrible job.

[@damonarvid3548]

Sounds ok on my laptop. I am sure on a higher end speaker, deficiencies more glaring.
