Jimi Hendrix Stephen Stills And Johnny Winter RARE The Things That I Used To Do

[igessthsisgrwnup]

how dare you mention van halen here!

does this sound liek glam rock?

johnny winter would fuck van halen any day for speed

and hendrix would fuck him for soul

[Modes9]

Everybody is so busy arguing about EVH and Hendrix that they're ignoring that Johnny Winter is also here playing his butt off! Johnny kicks as much ass at back-up as he does at soloing. Have you ever noticed that whatever Johnny does makes the whole band sound better? Think about it...

[daydreams4rock]

wow -- how can this exist n me not know until today -- roc k is love - lov is here

[fiofunk]

nice groove

[SnippoX360]

It's not how fast you can play(van halen), it's the amount of soul you put into your playing(Hendrix)

[eddieleiser]

jimi...hands down...........all the way down..dont be a dummy

[Akorps666]

nice

[1969amb]

this is amazing. and there is no comparing eddie van halen to this. i love me some eddie, but come on now people! ps eddie is now a toothless meth head. SAD

[wcvalvestem]

EVH sucks compared to David Gilmore

[EPI6fingers]

Jimi was a blues guitarist period he threw in controled feed back and had a good stage act. I like hendrix just as much as the next guy. But theres a huge differnce of what is your own opinion and what are facts. The facts are eddie vh would smoke hendrix

[abaneyone]

@EPI6fingers That's a big statement you're making, like saying that Kobe Bryant is better them Michael Jordan or Michael Jordan is better then Julius Erving! I doub't that Eddy Would say that he's better then Jimi was, just out of respect. The new always draws from the old. If it were not for Jimi, we'd never have listened to Eddy.

[retiredaxmurderer]

@EPI6fingers

Jimi Hendrix could out-solo Eddie Van Halen any day of the week. Listen to Jimi's live jams. His tone was better, he was more melodic, he was more fluid, more creative, and he could sing and match his voice and his soul with the guitar at the same time. As far as EVH, he is good at what he does, which is achieving speed with finger tapping and dives with the whammy bar, etc. and yes, he does do it with feeling, but he pales in comparison with Hendrix, IMHO.

[EPI6fingers]

Ruelsmith i suggest you do research on eddie van halen befor you open your mouth it will stop you from looking like a total douche. Im a professional guitarist and trust me hendrix isnt even a pimple on eddie Vh's ass!

[weaselpopper]

Jimi had way more in his bag than the EVH dude.Jimi spoke way more volumes of expression with out the tapping, Eddie`s main thing.EVH was great but not the same as Jimi not even close.

[ruelsmith]

@weaselpopper Like I said, Jimi INVENTED many of the techniques later used and taken for granted by other guitarists, like EVH, Jeff Beck, Robin Trower, SRV, Ted Nugent...the list goes on and on. On June 18th, 1967, guitar changed forever when Jimi Hendrix took the stage at the Monterey Pop Festival. It was that life changing, and not just for one group, but the entire guitar playing public. THAT is greatness...

[EPI6fingers]

Eddie van halens style of playing go's unmatched by any guitarist past or present. Hes a master luthier and inventor. Jimi hendrix was great for his time. Eddie van halen is for all and beyond time.

[ruelsmith]

@EPI6fingers Dude, EVH never had other guitarists crapping their drawers like Hendrix did the first time they heard him. Many guitar players including Townsend, Clapton, Beck, Frampton, West and others all thought they needed to find something else to do because their careers were over, or so they thought. EVH never had that much of an effect on major guitar players. Blab on all you want, but every guitar list ever has Jimi as numero uno.

[EPI6fingers]

Ruetsmith eddie vh most certainly is more important. And by the way it looks you dont know jack fucking shit about lord edward so maybe you should just keep your mouth shut. Hendrix is not was not and never will be better than edward van halen period!

[ruelsmith]

@EPI6fingers You just show how shallow your mind is and how you have no clue. Eddie Van Halen was a great guitarist in his own right. He's one of the greatest, without a doubt. However, better than Hendrix? Come on... When Eddie began, and mostly though his years with Roth, his style was somewhat simplistic with his lightning fast lead and tapping thrown in. Later, after he mostly abandoned that style under Hagar, his guitar playing improved, overall, immensely.

[tb0432]

The point is - it is cool song - with historical interest. I accept and enjoy what is - not what isn't

[ruelsmith]

@tb0432 Exactly. When Hendrix was still alive, Johnny was considered by most to be the equal of Hendrix. That's saying something! Two of my favorite legends playing together. Can it get any better?

[Marcus70815]

Great live song, but not live video, so what's the point?

[billyjoedopesmoker]

@Marcus70815 music.

[birdmanphil4]

@Marcus70815 This was recorded in a studio(The Record Plant). So the question's premise is flawed to start with.So just because their was no video it shouldn't be on YouTube? Ever heard of Robert Johnson? Better get his stuff off of YT as well I guess? The point is this is reaching a bunch of people that have never heard it before. JW thought it was a nice thing and who am I to argue? Have you ever played with Hendrix? There are many thousands of postings on YouTube with no video.

[IronsidesX]

Everybody has their opinion. I think Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Clapton do the best.

[EPI6fingers]

Dude bull fucking shit Edward van halen smokes Hendrix if you want reality. Hendrix wasn't even close to the guitarist like Edward van halen. You should have kept your mouth shut.

[ruelsmith]

@EPI6fingers Actually, in the early days, EVH was very simplistic with his bag of tricks thrown in there. If it weren't for Hendrix, there would be no EVH, so as they say. The dive bomb? Hendrix's baby. Playing by tapping (though different) was something Hendrix did a lof of, and even chording. Players like EVH take for granted the things that Hendrix invented on the guitar. The minute Hendrix walked of the stage at Monterey, guitar would never be the same again.

[ruelsmith]

Every major guitar player during Hendrix's days alive payed him homage. They all wanted to check him out. It's been said by those very guitarists that they thought they'd have to start to do something else to make a living, after seeing Hendrix play just one time. Hendrix isn't an orthodox guitar player. His technique is lacking in some areas. But what poured out of his guitar was nothing but magic. Even when he hit a note out of key, it seemed like it was just perfectly placed.

[anonymouslolxD]

@ruelsmith When did Hendrix tap? I'm not doubting you, just never seen it b4

[ruelsmith]

@anonymouslolxD Not saying he "tapped" like Eddie. Tapping is nothing more than the use of hammer-ons and pull-offs, which Hendrix used a lot of , even chording with hammer-ons. Eddie's tapping style is undoubtedly his own. It just blends other techniques together that have been used before.

[EPI6fingers]

I would of loved to here Edward van halen and jimi Hendrix playing together and believe me if Hendrix was alive that most certainly would have happened

Guitar player international some years ago placed Edward van halen And jimi Hendrix the two most important and influential guitarist of all-time. That's not even arguable that's for shure!

[Head318Hunter]

@EPI6fingers EVH is NOT in the same category as Hendrix. Thats like saying the best two drinks of all time are Jack Daniels whiskey and Zima wine coolers

[ruelsmith]

@EPI6fingers Well, it is arguable. I mean, EVH more important than Charley Christian? Wes Montgomery? T-Bone Walker? You can't be serious. Yes, EVH deserves his rightful place high among most other guitarists, but there are still a few that have had a greater overall impact on the world of guitar than he has, for sure. Jeff Beck, Clapton, Paige... I mean, come on...

[MrBlueswood854]

I've never heard Buddy Miles hit the skins this timidly...

[ruelsmith]

@MrBlueswood854 I really wish he'd done more recordings with Hendrix. I just love how in the pocket he is.

[mariaortensia1]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For my best friend <3

[valentin80]

When I listen to this recording I see how humble were Jimi and Johnny... how they respect each other in solos... nowadays guitarists will end up making sport in a guitar duel... not music.

[5jerry1]

When Winter starts on slide, there's NO mistaking it. I really enjoyed listening to this.

:-)

[funkinpunk]

very cool, never heard this before

[1961gjr]

better than what all differt styles there all great and jimi lives on

[poffy8888]

bon scott and hendrix died the same way. Not elevated when in a state of puke. SO both suffocated when laying horizontal. If only it was not the case, and both were given at leas another 10 years of life ! Sorry........I'm glad Steven still can see the light !

[mothergrace1]

hendrix was quoted as saying steve stills was the best guitarist he ever jammed with

[manjonning]

@mothergrace1 Where did you read that? .. I know I've read him saying this about Billy Gibbons and Terry Kath from Chicago .. Never heard the quote about Stills.. ever.. and I'm a gigantic Hendrix fan. Not to be a music snob but Still's guitar work ins't really in the same league as Hendrix or Winter is he?

[APancho1968]

@manjonning Wanna bet? He is much better than Johnny Winter and just about as good as James Marshall Hendrix!

[danielthebear1]

this is the best time where 3 great came togather ,during that time many great one jam togather this is one of the reason that i like the good old day

[IvIaShiIvIoI2o]

i wanted to leave it at 420 likes but,, gotta show respect ^^

[archie8059]

not too rare, it's on youtube.

[MrOnamission]

Guitar heaven, the two very best IMHO.

No offense to the great Steven Stills

[APancho1968]

@MrOnamission Stephe can play on the same level period!

[MrOnamission]

@APancho1968 Now, now, don't get excited. Everybody has their favorites, and I love Steven Stills music.

[APancho1968]

@MrOnamission I know brother. I am just a Stephen Stills fan. No offense intended. Peace and Love.

[APancho1968]

Stephen can play with the best and keep up!

[DreDaGuru]

Fantastic! These guys are the blues!

[89easygoer]

Johnny and Jimi no more needs to be said best two Johnny B Goode cuts ever put down on vinyl!!!!!  Americana!

[howlinwolf73]

Jimi is definitely on guitar here. He is noodling at 2;07 then he finally opens up a bit about 2;48 and by 3:08 you know this is Jimi.Johnny Winter starts playing slide at 3:45. Then Hendrix is playing again at 5:50 again to the end. Maybe it is Stills on Bass?

[lechrist777]

Wow, Wow, Wow

[jeannedelafeuillee]

Da blues is Da Blues is Da blues! Nice one thanks very much! :) <3

[TELMOLOCURA]

HDP....



[Ontrackmac]

much appreicated...Made my night. tx

[LorraineRainbow]

amazing thank you! love that stills was playing bass - totally brilliant jam

[cmac9able]

Man, you made my day! Just surfing you tube and found this. Shows how versatile (and ridiculously talented) Hendrix was. I'd sell a kidney to see this lineup is concert today! Thanks from an old (51) white guy who still loves good music.

[willwelsh816]

for some reason I was expecting some shitty hiss and pop with some bareley hearable guitars(most of hendrix live bootlegs lol), and this was actually quite pleasing :)

[Ibeenfarteen]

Great freaken tune ! Many thanks.

[apbtlvr4evr]

love hearing the greats!

[nordzville]

WuTang SRV and jimi FOREVERNESS. Buddy guy etc

[nordzville]

Yes

[johnnybeabad]

indescribable must b heard. I have seen all three perform but never together. sadly, never will. You can tell

by how relaxed they are playing they are where they want doing what they love.

[justuspots]

top notch, top Fin' notch!

[HeySocialWorker]

How Cool!

[kickniko]

For all those who think that blues is something for fashion shows in expensive hollywood villas. If you don't get those dirty wires you will never get the blues.

[granfarm55]

nice one! made my day coming across this!

[longboarder1960]

nice!

[kniphofiarufa]

simply amazing... blues with style...

[sharptownlady]

Loosing virginity music. If this vans a rockin, don't come knockin! Grody loves this, and thanks you.

[jazzynet1]

IT took Youtube to bring out everyuthing i always wondered about :)> I never imagined i would EVER EVER see Band of Gypsys in NYC man we loved that album man. And imagine I now have the MP3 of MACHINE GUN :D

FUCK YOU SONY

[BongHooitz]

Definitely Hendrix on guitar.. I know that for sure!  I fuckin' love Johnny Winter too.

[rpdbluevideo]

naw.. this is prolly that live in STUDIO from Lifelines box set from about 1990

may have been recorded in a little studio in the club.. it was taped like at 3 am or something like that.. after they jammed all night in clubs

[ropewalkingelephant]

love the bassline in this

[anokamn5]

good taste in music girl,seen johnny in club in minneapolis years ago brings back the days.thanks

[tb0432]

Just search Google Images for "Johnny Winter Jimi Hendrix" for pictures (I take no responsibility if there are ads or nasties on the found sites. I think jams were rather frequent at the Pauls scene. Johnny's manager brought him New York to get him started in the big time scene. Some pics show Jimi on bass, Johnny on a Strat, some other guy with a fancy Gibson or something. Cool stuff

[waydeepinside]

sounds like Jimi's strat on lead , just my .2 cents ...

[itchiray]

@waydeepinside

I agree it's Hendrix and Winter on guitars. Winters is easy to spot but that ain't Stills playing the other one and there are classic Jimi riffs close to the end. Prolly Stills on bass - STILLS is an awesome bass player - he did all the bass on the early CSN stuff - check out Wooden Ships, Suite Judy Blue Eyes and much more.

[davidprust]

Everyway to Paradise!

[GuyWitFace661]

wow 0 dislikes thats hard to find nice job.. oh and btw holy shit!

[redd5674]

Its on a album called EveryWay To Paradise. Disk 4

[Xpokerpro91X]

guitar/music history could listen to this over and over and over

[mrkalashnikov]

Holy Shyte, I never heard about these three guitar titans doing any kind of jam session together. Jimi H's roots were always in the BLUES, as this recording so well illustrates. Stephen Stills and Johnny Winter are two great artists and personal favorites of mine, as well.

Thanks for posting this!

[troutonahook]

everybody played and hung out at the scene

[darbygrey]

It is Stills on Lead, Jimi on bass, and Winter on slide.

[kapila013]

The intro sounds like Jimi all the way. I reckon stills is on bass and johnny is on slide

[MrPlooky]

That's Jimi on guitar for sure! The intro gives it away..........

[msaintpc]

Man, this is the shit! This the real stuff! Thanx a million!!!

[MrPlooky]

Stills on bass, Jimi guitar,maybe--johnny on slide, for damn sure!!

[BlueBlueFeelin]

@MrPlooky jimi on guitar, maybe?

[tpodgwaite]

Wish I was there to see this!

[RobertPaulGoode]

Everybody jammed down at "The Scene"

[bskeywest]

I agree on the Stills assumption on lead. Johnny on slide makes sense too. I guess that leaves Jimi on bass. God knows whose on drums, could be Dallas Taylor as suggested. Maybe Jimi on drums :-{0)

[RobertPaulGoode]

@bskeywest Jimi was playing bass

[lighteningboy]

These are the sessions that pissed Noel Redding off?

[1966jzacchia]

this is unfreaking beliveable my 2 favorite musicians hear rumors about them jamin together  thanks!!!!!!!!!!

[danzy432]

How have I not heard this before? Thanks so much for the upload I can't get enough. Goddamn brilliant!

[bigal1263]

I agree it's Johnny Winter on slide but I'd say it's Stills on the other guitar. I reckon Jimi might be on bass and it sounds like Dallas Taylor on drums. For my money no way is that Jimi playing lead - just doesn't sound like him, it lacks his fluency and his amazing chordal work.

[igessthsisgrwnup]

@bigal1263

yeah i agree sounds more like jw playing jimis style

and whoevers on the bass is a fuckin beast

[jgcaesar4]

@igessthsisgrwnup It is definitely Jimi on bass. He was an excellent bass player.

[rockwinkle51]

Hendrix always gets his much deserved due, but Stills and Winter are so under rated and under appreciated. Thanks for sharing this

[ropewalkingelephant]

i love how towards the end jimi takes it way outside of a simple blues jam

[lukeskynyrd]

@oknarbtal uhmm sir, how would you know, are you like his mother?

[johnnyguitar335]

Love hearing Johnny Winter's slide comingled with Jimi Hendrix's smooth voice and the guitars of all three master craftsman. 'Twas some era. Please check out our site on youtube for tributes to Jimi, Johnny, Brother Duane and Mike Bloomfield. Regards, love and peace--- johnnyguitar335

[kevindlinc]

Johnny's slide is instantly reconizeable Jimi sounds like he's playing an sg or Les Paul .Excellent jam!!!

[gatorcarter]

an edited version of this was issued on the Lifelines box set around 1990 which is no longer available. This longer version needs an official release. Can't understand why it hasnt happened yet. This is brilliant!

[SIMKINETICS]

Damn him for overdosing.

[timothycooper123]

god this is heaven keep it close wow man im right back in 1965

[athenacgy]

Thanks so much for posting this! I had no idea that all three ever played together. What a session it must have been!!

[sjtucker2002]

Shaggadelic baby

[JimBozeman1956]

This has to be one of my top 5! I didn't know they jammed together. I personally visited Jimi Hendrix's memorial site this past weekend in Renton,WA. (August -last weekend 2010). Very moving and emotional. You can't believe how many lipstick kisses there are on his face-image (granite -marble). Many flowers left too. Jimi lives on in my spirit. and his music!!

[osprey02]

saved that one .thank's lukeskynard

[bookkeeper57]

Stills and Hendrix were personal friends. Hendrix nearly hired Stills away from CSN.

Their agent intercepted the offer. Stills never saw it, or he left to play with Hendrix.

[AZmaxblues]

Johny sounded much better when he played the firebird - rythm pickup

[EZIOTHEMASTER]

Hendrix learned a lot from Guitar Slim. Here he pays his dues to him.

[Noseheros]

Theres a picture on the johnny winter website (under pictures and "with friends") of Johnny, Jimmy and someone that looks like Stills, Johnny has his Firebird, Stills is on a Les Paul Custom (P90s) and Hendrix was actually playing bass, this guitar playing does not really sound like Hendrix but he's definitely singing, I bet he played the bass

[ropewalkingelephant]

@Noseheros jimi is most definitely playing guitar

[Noseheros]

@ropewalkingelephant Soudns more like stills style to me

[stpgroov]

I was THERE!

[Noseheros]

@stpgroov Was Hendrix on Bass?

[RastafariPoet]

Wtf how the hell did I ever end up missing this jam? Wow!

[SRVMOE]

2 of my BIGGEST guitar Idols !!!!!!

[dgdgdg100172]

Thank YOu LukeSkin, FUckin Awesome TOp notch Noonan, top NOtch!!!!

[39chevpickup]

to paraphrase Gilmour and Waters Wish ( i ) were there. Awesome post thank you.

[Bopalena]

This was recorded at the Record Plant in May of '69. Jimi is playing lead guitar, Johnny is playing slide guitar. I don't know if Stills is on this or not, but it's definitely Hendrix and Winter on the guitars.

[Noseheros]

@Bopalena STills Might've been bass but you never know

[Bopalena]

@Noseheros Oh, to have been a fly on the wall for that session!

[Noseheros]

@Bopalena I wish I was there

[TheDynamicDriveler]

[lukeskynyrd]

I Think so!

[86lenny]

@mikejess3333 Yup, 301 west 46 street ! NYC !

[Lefthandbadass]

@mikejess3333 This was recorded May 7th 1969 at The Record Plant, NYC, after a night of jamming at he Scene Club. Stephen Stills on bass, Buddy Miles on drums.

[negorafa18]
