Great comment, but I think he wanted to do so much more than play the blues. Listen to his Woodstock set( I am sure you have😁) and he is doing early jazz/rock. Genius. He wanted to push the boundaries.

NONSENSE.. That is surely not all he wanted to do. That is so grossly over-simplistic.

@@FramrodLiggins hey are you on that baaaad brown acid again lol? listen- Jimi during his concerts would of course play his songs and even go off into experimental type shit because: 1. it broaden his horizons and kept in at the front of the pack, 2. it paid his bills...HOWEVER even after performing 2 complete live concerts in a row he would often go to small, hole in the wall night clubs and jam for hours and hours, and hours....and when he jammed he wasn't playing 'voodoo chile' or 'fire' or foxxy lady', NO- it was the blues...well into the next day...hell just ask Johnny Winter or Billy Cox...and he did that because at the core of his heart- it was the blues that beckoned him...

JAMES MARSHALL HENDRIX (November 27th, 1942 - September 18th, 1970). I was seventeen years old when Jimi left us. Fortunately, I was able to catch him on "The Dick Cavett Show" on ABC-TV, long before its availability commercially on VHS and DVD. Jimi will be gone for forty-seven years this year on September 18th. Six albums were released during his lifetime: ARE YOU EXPERIENCED?, AXIS: BOLD AS LOVE, ELECTRIC LADYLAND, THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE SMASH HITS, BAND OF GYPSYS and HISTORIC PERFORMANCES RECORDED AT THE MONTEREY INTERNATIONAL POP FESTIVAL: THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE/OTIS REDDING. I bought all six LPs during Jimi's lifetime...I still have them, today! In near mint condition!!!

[@robin2012ism]

Agreed! But my LPs are not mint!!

[@gregglaridis6037]

Voodoo Chile live on Electric Lady Land gets me every time, so powerful. Also loved Crash Landing even though it was a Frankenstein Album assembled after his death, there are some amazing tracks like "Somewhere" or Peace in the Mississippi video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=yset_ie_hp_mktgsem&p=jimi+hendrix+missisippi#id=51&vid=039a8152ba49d9345bee7ac9b4632b24&action=click

[@kathleensmith950]

That was really nice. First time seeing and hearing him speak. I thought he was a kind, loving, sensitive, soul now I'm convinced. He didnt have a rats ass of surviving long term in this world. So sad. Same with Janis she once stated she made love to thousands singing and she went home alone. Alot of musicians have bit the dust. Oh and Prince, i think they cared more about giving to their fans than they did about themselves.RIP all the musians who have ended in such an emotional place they couldn't survive. And woe to those who joined in the madness and didn't care enough to help them the cold callused hearts. Probably money grubbers.

What is the damn deal with so many people's inability to spell such a famous and iconic name? It's NOT: Jimmy, Jimmi, Jimie, Jimy or Jimmie and it's not Hendricks!!! It's: JIMI HENDRIX Damn, it's not rocket science. I have never seen such a simple name so constantly misspelled as Jimi's, and all over youtube. And often times from people praising his skills. What kind of musical knowledge can someone have about a man whose name they can't spell? Sorry, as a fan it's my pet peeve. Cheers! Long live the music of Jemme Hondrucks...oops.

@@callmemurphz lol......Nope, it began mixed as it was for many years. Then became Italian then Latin then white. The lack of community black folks had is why they lost it. Just as most community's, black folk did not capitalize it like whitey does. In the early 1960s black folk should have been conducting tours from the remanence showing the elegance. Where famous blacks lived etc etc. They did not including my great grandmother. Taking that pride was hard for us because our pride was busy not being respected and such. Conditioning is a motherfucker but I know had they done it all over they would have tried to save it. There was never an all white borough in NYC in its history.
