[@keithroberts4952]

It was a bold move of Jimi to not stick to the script and change songs live on TV which angered the BBC officials at the time! Great artiste!

[@_eclipz_]

Tends to happen a lot on the BBC lol

[@strangebotwin-]

“We’d like to stop playing this rubbish..” 😂 he was sick of playing the same songs all the time.

[@daverutherford6401]

Jimi Hendrix will never be forgotten! one thing you find when listening to any live performance is that every song is never played the same twice, he always added stuff, changed stuff and generally just adlibed a lot of the time within the framework of the song :)

[@rebeccabailey527]

That's not entirely correct, the songs changed overtime, they weren't vastly different between each peWoodstock. If you listen to the clark University cd, and live in Ottawa, the songs are very similar, those 2 shows were only a few days apart. Like hey Joe, they began doing intros of that nature as early as feburary 68, the star spangled banner from Woodstock, he began playing it like that 1 year and 1 day before woodstock.

[@robertg7396]

Interesting fact. Jimi used to play with some legendary names as a backup guitarist before eventually going solo. Acts like, Ike and Tina Turner, The Isley brothers, Sam Cooke, Wilson Picket, and Little Richard, to name a few.

[@realbser1956]

Always love seeing live performances by Jimi. Cream is regarded as THE first supergroup of that era. Eric Clapton-guitar and vocals, Jack Bruce-bass and lead vocals, Ginger Baker-drums. Supergroup means that all members are legendary and had an enormous impact on the future of rock & roll, not just because of their influential sound but but also because of the talent of the band members and what they went on to do in later years. The riff you recognize is from the song Sunshine Of Your Love by Cream. 🔥

[@guyray1504]

I always go to the Waffle House and ask for some Baker,Bruce, and Clapton to go with my coffee. I do get strange looks most of the time.

[@roboi2241]

Supergroup originally meant individual members of other bands forming their own band, Clapton was in The Yardbirds and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Bruce and Baker were in other bands and played together in Graham Bond Organization. They were top musicians when they formed Cream but not legendary nor had they made an enormous impact yet though Clapton was recognized as 'God' in some circles but with little wider public recognition until Cream.

[@WMalven]

Great reaction, Phil and Sam! There are two songs with almost the same name, Voodoo Chile (long "I," silent "E"), which runs 15 minutes in the original and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return") which runs 5 minutes and is totally different. The ultimate Jimi guitar performance happened on January 1, 1970 livie at the Fillmore East, "Machine Gun." It's a 12:30 long guitar masterpiece. Absolutely must hear.

[@mightyV444]

Ohhhh! I'd always believed people were just choosing two different ways of saying/writing the title for one and the same song! 😅 Thank you for clearing this up! 😉👍

[@neilmalyon8784]

Machine Gun is the gold standard for guitar virtuosity! Totally unmatched.

[@Sonny_Eclipse]

An interesting fact that many people may not know is that on September 17th, 1970, Eric Clapton was shopping in London and ran across a left-handed Fender Stratocaster, which he purchased as a gift for Jimi. He intended on presenting it during a Sly Stone concert at the Lyceum that night. Hendrix never showed up to that show. The next morning Eric Clapton, along with the rest of the world, learned that Jimi Hendrix was dead.

Jesus, Jimi handles that guitar so effortlessly. Like its an extension of himself.

[@markhodge7]

Cream. Sunshine Of Your Love. Jimi, especially live, often covered songs by other artists, offering his unique style to songs he liked, and artists he respected. Dylan, The Beatles, Cream, The Troggs and Chuck Berry. Hard to imagine but he was very shy off stage and was taken advantage of by the record companies and management. On the night before he died, Eric Clapton had showed up to meet him and brought along a left-handed Stratocaster that he had found in a shop. He'd never seen one before and wanted to gift it to Jimi. The crowd prevented them from actually getting together but they saw each other from a distance. The next day Jimi was dead, and Clapton was left holding the lefty guitar. True story. Eric was one of Jimi's closest friends.

[@jamesgoodwin9829]

Funny thing us that Eric Clapton said that Cream wrote Sunshine of your Love as kind of an homage to Jimi and then Jimi plays it to honor them. There is a bootleg direct from the mixer called Pipe Dream recorded on in late '67 that contains a 10 minute version of SoYL. It rips.

Sunshine of your Love

[@samuellord8576]

Jimi was saying he was sorry that Cream had broken up, he got along very well with those guys. At first Clapton (and EVERY other guitarist) was despondent over Jimi’s unmatched skill, but they became close friends. Jimi was not only a great musician, but widely known as a great friend and gentle soul. Now to be blown away completely, listen to “Machine Gun”, live in Fillmore East, New Year’s Eve 1969. So powerful, nothing will move your soul like this. A musical protest to the killing in Vietnam. Thanks!

Cream was one of the greatest trios. They were one of the first progressive rock groups consisting of 3 great individual artists, and Ginger Baker was just a crazy drummer, I last saw him dancing on the tables in the University bar following their set in the late 60s. I was devastated when they broke up, but they all went on to do great things.

[@grahamhowes6904]

Ginger was famously aggressive and used to argue with Jack Bruce constantly. A friend of mine had the honour when he was running a club of ascending some narrow stairs as Ginger came down. Ginger stopped and growled: ‘Get out of my f’ing way or I’ll knock you downstairs!’

Jimi plays Berkeley, Woodstock, Royal Albert Hall and Fillmore East are the things you'll need to watch.

[@Tijuanabill]

Jimi's first guitar was right handed, because his crazy dad did not technically permit him to be left handed. His dad was religious, and thought being left handed was a thing of the devil. So he restrung it like any lefty would, but he had to show progress on the instrument, to his dad, as it was an expensive item for his family, which meant playing right handed. So technically Jimi could play a bit right handed, but with the strings backwards. You could accurately say, he knew the instrument backwards and forwards. Later in life, Jimi didn't want a left handed guitar because back then, they were all handmade, and he didn't think they got enough practice on the left handed ones, for them to be the same quality as the right handed ones.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I think it's so cool that you guys go on a journey like this and I have seen this with other reaction channels as well, where your knowledge just starts to increase exponentially and you can make connections between things and compare things and recognize styles. Yeah the Jimi Hendrix Experience was a three-piece, and one thing I like about this video is you get some pretty good shots of the bass guitar playing and the drumming. For example, I would point out that the drummer is using Trad or traditional grip with his left hand and Match grip with his right hand, which is more modern. And the bass player is playing with a pick rather than his fingers, which gives it a bit more of a metallic edge to the attack.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Wow, I just made my previous comment talking about the approach to drumming and now the second song has started, and it's interesting because he starts off using the more modern Match grip in both hands but then pretty quickly after some crash cymbal work, flips the stick in his left hand to convert it to Trad grip.

[@jgsrhythm100]

The main ingredient is the connection to the black blues, soul that came before him He began. With the Isley Brothera Check Isley Brothers - Who's that Lady 🔥

[@mightyV444]

Rush's Geddy Lee shared an interesting story recently while promoting his auto-biography, about choosing to watch a gig of his old band (who'd just kicked him out) over seeing Jimi Hendrix in concert! His reasoning being that he'll see Jimi the _next_ time he's in town - which of course then never happened due to Jimi's early death.

[@thomaswoods1365]

""We're being put off the air."' Only Jimi. Genius! And I just heard your pop quiz. He was born I believe in Seattle, but his home at the time was in Renton, Washington, 8 miles from where I grew up.

[@mikefetterman6782]

Left handed guitars were few and far between and their quality was usually sub par at the time. Jimmy took a right handed stratocaster (several) turned it upside down, switched the strings and made his own left handed guitar out of a righty (I did the same when I was 10, I was a lefty trying hard in 1980 to find guitars).

[@MrBedZeppelin]

Only ten years 1966-1976 included Legendary guitarists such as Jimi, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Tony Iommi, Pete Townsend, Jerry Garcia, Ritchie Blackmore, Alex Lifeson and Eddie Van Halen, etc. who mostly were inspired by each other.

[@samuellord8576]

Thanks! I hope you will do Jimi’s greatest performance, “Machine Gun” live from Fillmore East in 1969, OR the back-to-back performances of “Voodoo Child” and the “Star Spangled Banner” at Woodstock. He played them together, in that order, and was on fire. Thanks folks!

Mitch Mitchell said that backstage before the show Lulu suggested to Jimi that they do a duet on Hey Joe. Jimi said yes but didn't want to rehearse the song with Lulu, telling her that 'improvised it will be stronger'. So he cut the song in half and said 'stop the rubbish' before moving on to the song Sunshine of Your Love. Someone from the BBC management told the band that they would never play there again but Jimi didn't seem to care. 😁

[@JeromeDukes]

Loving the videos of some of the great bands and musicians from the 60's, 70's and 80's. I love that you've also focused on some of the elite guitar players of those eras. Hendrix and what he did for the electric guitar changed everything. One of the guys that picked up the torch after Hendrix's death and imo is easily one of the greatest guitar players of all time is Frank Marino from Mahogany Rush. The band hails from Montreal and was a powerhouse especially when it came to Psychedelic Blues and Rock. Frank Marino Live at the Agora, just might be the best collection of guitar playing ever. Highly recommend watching Something 's coming our Way or It's Begun to Rain.

[@markhodge7]

Mahogany Rush is possibly the most unknown amazing bands from this era. I grew up in Montreal in the 70's. Hendrix was dead, but CHOM FM played the best FM radio, and Mahogany Rush made the grade. My teenage friends and I had their albums, and Frankie we considered on par with all the greats of the time. "Strange Universe" is a must have album. No weak songs.

His playing may not seem such a big deal today BUT watch older videos from the sixties and see what other bands and guitar players were doing at the time.

Jimi had lots of guitars. Often guitarists have a favorite for stage. On a few occasions, Jimi played a Gibson Flying V or an SG, but a Fender Stratocaster was always his main guitar of choice. Jimi played an early 1960s white Stratocaster “Linda”, which was allegedly the only guitar Jimi had with him when he first came to England. There’s also a 1964 Fiesta Red Stratocaster that he painted and then burned on stage at Monterey Pop Festival. Another one is a black 1968 Stratocaster, the Black Beauty (it looks like he's playing it here) Most notable of them all was the 1968 white Fender Stratocaster that Jimi used at the Woodstock festival in 1969.

[@skiziskin]

There are some left handed guitar players who just flip the guitar over and play it upside down. While Jimi probably could do that, it is not what he did. He re-strung a right-handed guitar to play it left handed with the string orientation the same as it would be for a right handed player. In order to do this he also had to reset the bridge because not only the horizontal position of the bridge for each string on a Strat different, but also the height of the bridge for each string matters. It's something any guitar tech would know how to do. It's just a myth that he simply flipped the guitar over and played it. Check out Eric Gales for someone very influenced by Jimi who does play the guitar upside down. The blues legend Albert King also played a right handed guitar upside down but he used several different alternate tunings.

Voodoo Chile is not "chili". It's short for Voodoo Child, except the "d" on child is silent. Come on guys.......how can somebody claim to be a Voodoo chili??? Lyrics - "I'm a voodoo chile". He died of asphyxia. In other words...He overdosed & choked on his own vomit. Unfortunately, not so rare a thing back in those days. He use to perform with many hits of acid against his forehead under those head ties. Notice he almost always wore them.

He was so productive and addicted to music, toured all the time and spent the rest of his time either recording or jamming in clubs. He certainly used drugs but let's not go overboard here. His death, as you should know, is surrounded with contradicting accounts (even the medical experts) mystery, conspiracy theories, you name it. Neither of us knows for certain.

Purple haze was written in December '66, and there was still quite an innocent drug culture in London. Jimi said it was about an underwater dream and he had read a lot of science fiction books that inspired him. The original lyrics consisted of way more verses. Do you think a still young Jimi would write page after page about some vague type of weed? You are just obsessed by drugs. Jimi had his fair share but he was a professional and dedicated musiciam first and foremost.

​@hesch-tag Obsessed by drugs????? Really? That's what you got from that? Hell, I did tons of drugs back then, everybody did. No judgement there. I did my research back in that era & lived thru it. Did you miss the part where I said I loved him & his music??? You have mistakenly taken my facts & information as a "slight" toward Jimi. Not true! I think you are the type of person that would argue with a wall, for no reason. You are not an expert & have no right to confront me or anybody! Stay in your own lane!

@@kimstayt8967 Okay mister or Mrs/miss/ms paranoid. I never doubted you love his music and that you lived during that time. I am just saying that you say things are true that are very doubtful. There are too many loose ends and contradicting stories and varying first hand accounts. You were not in Jimi's entourage, you were not near Jimi on the 18th of September 1970. You only talked about drugs in your previous posts and now you take offence I mention it. You lived in the 60s, big deal. Research? Were you a journalist in close contact with rock royalty? Those who lived during the 60s don't remember it they always say. I am not saying you are wrong I am just saying that some things are not proven and you are way too sure about things that might not even be true. Maybe they are but maybe they are not. You don't have all the answers, neither do I.

Jimi taught himself on a right handed guitar he just flipped over and restrung. He didn't switch the pickups which is partly how Jimi got his distinctive sound. His studio stuff was always a lot cleaner because Jimi really liked heroin and his live performance sometimes suffered because of it.
