1968 is going to be a roller coaster of a year! Jimi has some of his best playing in 1968.

Working in a record store in 67 with ties .... (their orginization ran all the jukeboxes in the L.A. area, it was also a jewlery store selling fake/stolen diamonds with hookers upstairs) when the first two albums came out. Holy fuck did they change the game. From the day Experienced came out I was hooked. I started listening back when you started off and on but listening to this one and the one before, I guess I gotta go back and listen to what i may have missed. Anyways looking forward to September one of the first Jimi concerts I attended
This series just keeps getting better and better !!

Cool to see Jimi on the Fender Jazzmaster, and Gibson Les Paul 🎸 guitars. Unusual, just one song each apparently, then back to his Stratocaster. Beautiful to hear how he improvised a moving piece for Dr. King that had many in tears; and then left the stage. That was a special show. I never heard about this so I appreciate it being presented here. Jimi and the Experience 🕉 forever

You my friend have opened the flood gates with this material. It needs to be picked up by more folks. Jimi was always so private that to have the inside lane daily in his short historic musical career is something I havent seen with any other band yet. You are a trailblazer. Keep it up. Its really great and all of us appreciate it. Im only 48, never saw Jimi, but the Grateful Dead was my thing. Saw them about 150 times(50 with Jerry, 100 family bands). So Even though they had the same concept of elevating the crowds consciousness, Jimi was his own thing. Hes a star shaped peg that cant be put in any genre, except maybe the Electric Church Choir. Anyway good job.

.....I think the instrumental Jimi played in tribute to MLK was ..Hey Baby.....the intro to that song always had a hauntingly beautiful sad feel the way Jimi would play it
@curbozerboomer17739 ай бұрын
Problem is...Hey Baby was not developed until 1969. But I am sure that Hendrix was capable of conjuring up a very deep Blues tribute to MLK.

Thank you very much indeed! It's great to hear Jimi's own words (from "Starting at Zero", I believe), as well as the recollections of others. I knew that Andy Summers jammed with Jimi twice. However, I wasn't aware that he filled in as a stop-gap bassist in Soft Machine. Interestingly, on the basis of the information presented here, Mark Boyle's anecdote regarding the performance following Martin Luther King's assassination doesn't seem to reflect reality. He claimed, as you mention, that the Experience completely abandoned their regular set in Newark and improvised that "harrowing" music of "appalling" (not "appealing") beauty. The first time I heard this was when he was interviewed for "The South Bank Show" special on Jimi, which was aired by Channel 4 in the UK circa 1989. Clearly, judging by the memories of others presented here, he was talking drivel at worst, or exaggerating at best. [Edit: Typo corrected, "he" instead of "his".]
@curbozerboomer17739 ай бұрын
We can agree...Mr. Boyle was embroidering his story, so he could be filmed for that South bank show....Too bad, but not uncommon with people trying to overly impress!
@Albrecht7779 ай бұрын
@@curbozerboomer1773 I concur. I must also admit to never being overly impressed by the Soft Machine, in any case. This especially holds true of Robert Wyatt. Andy Summers was well beyond them, both musically and in terms of personality, in my humble opinion. No offence meant to those who like them.

When you compare King and Hendrix, just on a purely superficial level, it's really hard to believe the FBI prioritized King
@curbozerboomer17739 ай бұрын
That is because, the head of the FBI was a known racist/right winger, who knew next to nothing about Rock artists, or their impact on society. J. Edgar Hoover was a misanthrope!
