Thanks Indibelle, one of the best not only of Jimi's but IMHO all songs. It's epic, lyrical and extremely dynamic. It is unfortunate that "1983" apparently can't be posted in entirety because the climactic ending is the finishing touch. All should seek the entire song. It wasn't performed live largely because Jimi not only wrote and arranged it, but performed vocals, rhythm and lead as well as bass (not Noel)and only Mitch is in accompaniiment
Thank you so much,indibelle, for your nicely done vid and one of my favorite songs of all time. It's a shame that it apparently had to be abbreviated since it is akin to a novel with the last climactic chapter missing. I urge all, even those who may have been underwhelmed by the abbreviated version offered here, to listen to the full version asap. Note that Jimi wrote it and performed bass, rhythm and lead guitar and vocals. Mozart? meh! Thanks again
I am a jimi lover !!! this song is new to me but it is him - Thank you for something I have never heard on album! and i would like to say-------- not in love man!!!!!!!!!
this imo is such an under rated song. one of his best imo. probably my favorite. of course he has many other songs with amazing solos like machine gun but this is more about his song writing abilities and the way he plays with sound.
i also wait for the next great musician equivalent to hendrix (or dylan for that matter), but you got to have in mind that this blind kid and almost every talanted "youtube-phenomenon" just plays covers.. sure he plays covers great, no doubt, but hendrix created a whole new genre for crying out loud..
Exactly, I mean sure I'll like someone if they create songs as great as this but...for now...I'm sticking with Hendrix. Perhaps one day someone will truly usurp his throne as (in my mind) the greatest musician that ever lived.
Also...Really whats with the picture of John Lennon and Yoko Ono...I mean I can't watch this video in public anymore because of that :(
I hate how people this Jimi is just a guitar god...no, he was a lyrical genious. He was the second Dylan, and I don't think we'll ever see someone who could possibly match the otherworldly spell he can create with his music.
this is fucking amazing, both musically and lyrically. still to this day no one can touch this guy. it makes me laugh the way these new bands and pop stars act like they are geniuses, someone should show them this song then they'll realise they aint good enough to even polish jimis guitar.
siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiickkkkkk song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dude this song is fucking amazing... in every aspect!.. i fucking love it/// hendrix was an amazing songwriter.... and isnt not just that its one of the trippiest songs EVER CREATED (im stoned)... its just BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@SweetFire96 Yeah your right, they definately jacked the intro nd you can also hear a slight variation of that riff too, hey Jimi influenced all those guys man, he is definately the blueprint
i keep hoping this song will get the classical treatment by an orchestra. Or a jazz quintet. Either would be superb and a step toward giving Jimi credit for his songwriting genius, not just guitar work
And he wanted to play it right there, but as he said, "he forgot the words", and he gave 'Hey Joe' as an encore ("Don't you know, that you get kinda tired..?" yes, he was QUITE tired, what a shame)
One of the most inspiring songs ever. True genius; maybe too much so to live on this metaphysical plane. "Its (death is) staight ahead...so my darling & I make love in the sand...""
I like the confused faces of the audience at 4:37..LOL!! It looks like they are saying "WTF is this??" I can imagine though as Hendrix must have seemed like a space alien back then.
This is the most awesome song ever! I used to listen to this song over and over as a young girl and I still do now... It by far is the best song of Hendrix.. Thanks for adding it on here!
man, what a song. i got this feeling running through the body. these goosebumps. wow. look at the lyrics, people. i dont have the words, i can just describe the song as 'wow'. jimi is a great composer. thank you for posting.
yeah the last piece I cut out some of the stuff he said, it's from the introduction at Woodstock before he perform the song Izabella. And the video is at woodstock for the Stars Spangled Banner.
he neva got to perform wu he wanted cuz everyone wanted the hit singles.... he had so many better songs on his album like, voodoo chile from electric ladyland, not voodoo child(slight return)which was also a excellent song...
I jus saw a bunch of Jimi Hendrix memoribilia at the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. It seriously gave me fucking goosebumps. If any of you can make it out there, it's def. somethin to see if ur a rock and roll fan. any fan of music at that
what a song...this one stands out on electric ladyland, i love the ending with his woodstock explaination i think it is...anyhow great song choice but i just think u shouldnt got more Jimi footage in there...no worries good job
I know I wish that I had more pics, but at the time I had just gotten my labtop and hardly had pics or anything for that matter. I used what little I did had. That's what makes this video very personal. It was my first...ever!!! Thankyou for your comment; it was greatly appreciated.
"1983" is one of my FAVORITE songs off Electric LadyLand - close to: Come On; House Burning Down & Gypsy Eyes - but this IS THE ONE TO PLAY when you're all stressed-out & have just 'medicated yourself' & want to relax: Play the whole side of the lp, side 3 I believe...
This Jimi track is about 1,200 years ahead of it's time! Thanx for the post "indibelle!"
Who needs drugs? Just listen to this song and it will get you high

Wierd, same abdulfez, different attitude. Either you have someone hacking your account or you're schizophrenic.
One minute you are all nice and respecting a black man for singing of love, but on other threads you are spewing out race hatred and promoting war.
So, hacked or schizo? As we have had a few run ins before, me and you abdulfez, I suspect the latter.
