Buddy & Stacey (with Jimi Hendrix)- Shotgun

[legranderaoul]

All I gotta say is.... A fella's just gotta eat.

[roscolbar]

Calling a man-child Stacey? Mercy- somebody had an agenda

[robinrms0404]

Is it really him? Jimi played lefty ...

[hotrodius]

@robinrms0404 Look on the left. There are two guitar players

[WALLAH00F]

@robinrms0404 When Jimi first learned guitar (righty), his father made him play with his right hand, as his dad was religious and left was meant you were possesed by the devil. When his father came into the room he'd quickly switch to right handed guitar, then when he left, he switched it over to the left. Thats where he learnt to play upside down.

[WALLAH00F]

@robinrms0404 But at 00:32 you see him in the middle of the two singers. Hes just right of the drummer.

[sbidful]

Well, Jimi Hendrix certainly changed the world.

[Akorps666]

interesting

[papakilatube]

Listen to Jimi throwing leads in there where he's not supposed to! He's smoking that guitar, hoping somebody will notice and set him free!!!

[cruisebumify]

They sure pulled their pants up....way up...lol.

[chmusiclessons]

Anyone know what amp Hendrix used

[bloombloombloom61]

He was seriously enjoying the groove and playing his ass off as usual :)))))))))))

[greenie70]

The Macarena at 1:14

[GOTITWET]

as you can see jimi hendrix love music, and when you have a serious face when playing a guitar that means business. If your not serious than your not able to make music......FOOLS~!~~!!!!!!!!!!­@!!

[TheDilligan]

Listen to the guitar... Totally jimi... on parts hes playing the bass line AND the chords AND throwing in lead riffs here and there and doing it seemlessly... he doesn't look like he's even trying... as usual... but even then, he was an incredible guitar player

[jfk102562]

He was with Little Richard at this time. Just sitting in with these guys. Read the bass drum.

[jmhendrix101]

haha jimi looks so bored

[jpalberthoward9]

Playing in bands like this,in a subordinate role, gave Hendrix the timing and professionalism necessary for his own later work. Being a side man also gave him the musical understanding he would need to realize his vision once he had the creative control to do so. We should never forget that underneath all the shtick and voodoo child showmanship, which was VERY VERY COOL, there lurked a solid, disciplined, extremely talented professional musician. we can all learn something from this man.

[foodstamp7007]

This was an important time for Hendrix, very under-documented. If you think he didn't dig R&B you haven't listened to his records. iisten to Mercy Mercy by Don Covay and dig some of his most laid back and cool riffing.

[metalliczombie]

This could be the gayest choreography I've ever seen.

[Kimberliss42]

Back in the day when you could sing and dance and nobody thought you were a homosexual... The world has truly sunk... And it's going deeper...

[newaccountdebzbd]

@Kimberliss42 Are you really under the impression that people are joking about Buddy and Stacy just because they're singing and dancing, or do you think that it's enlightened and humane to appear dense? There's a lot less harm, and a lot more honesty, in joking than in being sanctimonious.

[mikenobeardthepirate]

There is a scene, on the extended DVD version of JIMI HENDRIX at WOODSTOCK, and he and Buddy Miles start doing that Shoobe Doo Wop Dance, just like they are doing in this video, and Jimi is cracking up , having fun while they are doing it !

[joeylodes]

jimi got the funk down

[johnny2x4x2]

i get jimi's like get me the fuck outta here

[theez14]

Wow those guys are about as queer as a three dollar bill....

[RATKING10]

@theez14 UH,I THINK U NEED TOO RESEARCH MORE MUSIC FROM THAT ERA,,WAS THE WAY IT WAS,,NOT GAY!

[prueisgay]

I came for early Hendrix footage but stayed for the dancing

[k24p16s]

Get away you dancing pussys, let The Man play!

[broodyart]

Jimi's on the backbeat, flowin' between the beats. He had somethin' better, way back then in his thoughs,& feelings about music.

[madderthanalex]

Watch Jimi from 1:06min on, for a few seconds, he's getting into it a whole lot more

than the other guys backing up. He's probably thinkin, " fuck these guys, are they into it or what???. Damn, I gotta cut loose from these turkey's " :):):)

[evolutionmb]

looks like two cake boys up there singing and dancing, but Hendrix rules. 

[nimrodlev333]

Amazes me that even at this young age he still had all his tricks, the slide, the famous thrill between two notes, his chord system. I wonder in which exact age did he learned all that? in which age did he created all his playing system?

[TheHigh94]

love his juicy little riffs inbetween singing

[sqwuade]

It's amazing to think that only 4-5 years later Jimi would be headling the Woodstock festival!

[nathanalexander28]

bhahahaha jimi hendrix went from tootie fruitie to being one of the most famous gifted musicians ever.... should make anyone feel good with where theyre at whether theyre on the top or tootin it on the bottom :)

[bheadh]

That song might be corny, but the musicians are smokin"!

[MrVeesworld]

You can see where Jimi got that famous guitar to the sky move at 1:26.

[Kausie123]

@ 1:47 Jimi's Slide!!!

[eddie486us]

Not counting Jimmy something is off in this video!



[Charlito93]

It will be funny seeing Jimi goes into a big solo out of no where in this song !

[HandShock]

jimi totally out of step with the others..ha

[ninjabreadman57]

haha i dont think anyone looked at buddy and stacy who watched this video

[algernon821]

haha such a guitar player, hes playing over top of the horns, tats the key to the R&B sound, share the space jimi! lolz..

[RIPHendrix]

ha, we was doing his slide tricks! The guitarist next to him is trippin

[guitar16]

someone should pair up with a friend and dress up as buddy and stacey for halloween from this '65 footage ahahaha make people scratch their heads

[slimturnpike]

great dancing

[esraretin]

hendrix takes that shotgun:P

[superagnitio]

This stuff is plain great

[rhythmrancher]

This is Little Richard's band "the Upsetters" If you look closely at the kick drum you can see his name on it.

[mannixisle]

Stacy (on the left) has got some moves. Look at 1:45, he's doing an abbreviated moonwalk - and years before M.J. was credited with it.

[luvureally]

@mannixisle The backslide has been around since 19th century. It was done in Black vaudeville & in 20s & thirties by the likes of Cab Calloway and Earl "Snakehips" Hines. In 50s it was incorporated into a popular dance called the slop. Been around for a long time. Check out Snakehips videos.

[mannixisle]

@luvureally you know your dance history, thanks for info!

[77montana77]

and just two years later he would rule the world...

[Eddieguitarloebs]

For those that happen yo think that that's Jimi at the beginning  0:4,it's not...Jimi was to our far left......is this the only video of this band?

[Codude180219]

Do you reckon you could re-upload this video with the audio in sync?

[stlrockn]

This was recorded at WLAC TV studios in Nashville in February of 1965

(NOT Hollywood as the one who posted this wrote). Night Train was a

legendary TV show around here. The Country Music Hall of Fame dedicated an exhibit that ran for over a year to the Black Music scene in Nashville in the late 50s and early 60s and showed several clips from this show.

[ratchetxrc]

I dont care about them , im just looking at hendrix 

[MrNewperry]

lol unlike hendrix, this is not timeless.

[SteveGaines]

I can understand them opening for Little Richard..Something about this reminds me of "MEN ON FILM" on the Old 'IN LIVING COLOR"..LOL

[aspiringguitarist91]

who is the saxophonist?..

[ppetracco]

0:16 - awesome drum fill!

Check me using it @ 1:50 in "Os Cebolas Verdes - Cebolando Um Raul"

[stan2211stan]

A lotta ingnorance from You Young Folks.

That's Little Richard's Revue Band ya buncha punks.

Buddy & Stacy would perform before Little Richard.

Look at the kick drum if Ya don't believe me.

The other Guitarist may be Bobby Womack's brother but I'm not sure.

[escaperoute2]

haha look at Jimi in the background at 0:49 doing his thing!

[theecto1]

haha jimi, you can tell its Jimi because the ways he moves man, he's like a lion wanting to break out, also he's the only one looking really intensely at his instrument.

[GrindStreetMusic]

LMAO @ Buddy & Stacey. Boy, they suck.

[esraretin]

@GrindStreetMusic im not american but still they re good...i think u just cant understand

[slubert]

What is that Jimi? but that dude is playing the fender he correct way.. Jimi plays left-hand

[SuperBluesGuitarMan]

@slubert Of coarse its Jimi, He is playing left handed! the guitarist next to him is playing right handed.

[AtLeastIGotChicken1]

@slubert Jimi is playing left, he's on the far left

[prodigyofpeace1983]

You can tell Jimi was trying to get noticed when they go to the music break because of him slapping his string with his right hand and then breaking away from the others during the singers' dancing parts with no vocals. Poor Jimi, I do feel bad for the man during that period.

[luvureally]

@prodigyofpeace1983 Why would you feel sorry for him? The man played and toured with the likes of Little Richard, Sam Cooke, Isley Brothers, Jackie Wilson, Slim Harpo, Chuck Jackson, King Curtis, Don Covay, etc. How do you think he honed his skills and developed such great showmanship? He did not develop these skills overnight in England, he had them already. Listen to Johnny "Guitar" Watson's 1954 "Space Guitar", another influence on Hendrix.

[yogaann2000]

Great to see Jimi but the video doesn't match the audio!?!

[TheSnyth]

Sorry but those are the weirdest pants ever.

[TheSnyth]

Sorry but those are the weirdest pants ever :D

[Abrandt28]

Are those yoga pants??? Lol

[publicatdamagnificen]

I wish my pants were that high.

[weing]

Whats really mind blowing about this is that he is barely 500 days away from recording "Hey Joe"!

[chloewalker8089]

jimi was such a cutie back in the day

[willwelsh816]

Jimi was freaking tall.

[waydeepinside]

Even then Jimi had the longest hair !

[801Current]

jimi played so many bands before he got big....

[whatchwatcha]

ffffffunyyy1



[ensconse]

Love-it. Wow. Jimi!! (With members of The Upsetters?).

[popomczowzow]

hahaha which one of them is stacey?

[alexrules55]

look at his classic move at 0:50 lmao

[chuckbyf1]

@alexrules55 Didnt notice his move. Dead giveaway.

[elsworth3030]

Hendrix had to start somewhere, he wasnt always one of the greatest guitar players ever. No one knew Jimi Hendrix was to be a huge star just like no one knew that Buddy and Stacey werent going to be, doesnt mean they diddnt put as much into their music as anyone else on that stage . You shouldnt turn your nose up at things you don't understand, you'll just seem ignorant.

[PBGSURFER65]

@elsworth3030 You're wrong bro,Jimi put WAY more into his work than those 2 guys,or anybody else on that stage.Not to besmirch the other musicians but c'mon,isn't the proof in the pudding so to speak?

[LedWhisky69]

@elsworth3030 Truthfully, Hendrix's talent was being held back by doing these sort of gigs. In a way, it was great experience for him, but he didn't have much or any creative license and, of course, the music world wasn't quite ready yet for what he had boiling up inside him. Just a year later, he was doing Hey Joe and just two years later, Are You Experienced came out. All that material didn't just pop into his head all at once. He was crafting his sound for a long time beforehand, no doubt.

[pastafazool56]

I want pants like Buddy and Stacey.

[Soulpatchltd]

@pastafazool56 time travel to 1965. I doubt those styles are around or will ever come back The Beatles swag sites may have them.

[thesjkexperience]

@pastafazool56 Buddy and Stacey want to get in to your pants! ;-)

[scottsoul64]

@pastafazool56 im sure simon cowell could help you out, lol

[Mralexalejandro]

jaja la mejor forma de reconocer a jimi es verlo tocar alreves

[ChronicMetamorphosis]

Not really, seeing there is at least a foot apart from them. Now I could understand if there was 5/8ths of an inch between them.

[SirFrancisBurton]

0:22 Gayest dance move ever?

[ChronicMetamorphosis]

@SirFrancisBurton How so?

[SirFrancisBurton]

@ChronicMetamorphosis looks like Buddy is sticking his big black long shotgun in his friend's bottom ... pretty much self explanatory isn't it? :P

[gogitta25]

lol my great grandma knows this song

[MikeBlitzMag]

Buddy and Stacey would have done well to have attempted original material, instead of a Junior Walker And The All Stars cover. They couldn't possibly top the original version, and something of their own might have increased their chances for staying power. 

[ReluctantSpider]

I can't believe those guys are constantly stepping in front of Jimi like that. Jimi's playing a Jazzmaster too; what's up with that?

[rolfwilkinson]

Buddy and Stacey are clearly gay. Good tunes, but I'm just sayin'...

[RuttermusiC]

this is so funny if you have any doubts that its jimi at first, he then slides his hand up the neck which is a move of his, and then he starts riffin hahah love it

[RRaquello]

@RuttermusiC not a knock on Jimi Hendrix, but he didn't invent that. Les Paul used to do the same thing. He probably didn't invent it either.

[eddie486us]

can't quite put my finger on it but in the words of Keith Sweat something, something. something, something just ain't right but Jimmy is great though.

[FNR4DreamFights]

At 2:13, we see the birth of a legend.

[oldtilter]

Jimi looks so young..how old?

[164jord]

@oldtilter He was 22 here, in February 1965

[jofrad]

Never mind Jimi Hendrix who's the bass player ?? Great stuff.

[jontheplatypus]

1:27 you can hear Hendrix riffing a bit in the background with a couple quick licks and also with the outro.

[screwhead96]

i woulnt wear them pants for shit. hott song though, very soulful

[StratoBlaster420]

Hendrix and an upside down jazzmaster just makes me smile. He was probably a better promotion for fender guitars than any marketing team could ever come up with.

[zyruemusic]

@StratoBlaster420 THAT IS REAL!!!

[mwhite36]

The Biography Channel is showing a new documentary of Jimi Hendrix, telling his story "in his own words" (from interviews he did, letters he wrote, etc).

It's narrated by William Earl "Bootsy" Collins, the GREAT bass player who rose to prominence with James Brown in the late '60s, and with Parliament-Funkadelic in the '70s.

Check it out if you get a chance.

[breukelenman]

Good music, but Jimi would not have become the guitar player we know had he remained confined in this type of music. It's good that he broke free from these restrictions and blazed a new musical path!

[loldecepticonlol]

Check out Jimi around 2:11

[rp61wasinnocentok]

@loldecepticonlol Well spotted.

Heh! He was sneaking that one in even back then.

[loldecepticonlol]

LOL Those pants!

[ddecto]

I always thought this was sam and dave

[220denyse]

jammin'

[badacsony]

ennek a két csókának, szerintem fogalmuk nem volt ki játszik mögöttük.

[Daniel260289]

auhuahuah oh man old times...aushuhsahuas

[IncarceratedBayou2]

That groove sounds a lot like stone free!?

[RastafariPoet]

Look at Jimi's energy. You can tell he was destine for stardom.

[thedoctor10able]

for all the dumb people hendrix on bass in this video not guitar

[rodentcafeteria]

@thedoctor10able And since when have you known Hendrix to be RIGHT-handed? Hendrix in on guitar, right next to the drummer.

[BlindTom61]

@thedoctor10able  Bass??? He's playing a friggin' Jazzmaster...

[spyguys]

@thedoctor10able He is playing a Fender Jazzmaster upside down knuckle head. Not a bass! Several times during the song you can also see Jimi doing that show trick where he moves his fret hand around over the top of the neck quickly then back.

[mjazzguitar]

@elusivescousegit

I know what you mean by rythm. When he was doing "Like A Rolling Stone" at Monterey he didn't just strum chords, he really knew how to play accompaniment.

[22jan51]

THIS SUPER RARE FOOTAGE. GREAT

[johngoo343]

what a beast, check out my 26 best blues and jazz guitarist"s video, click on my name, its the only video. !

[ScottEmmonsMusic]

Playing a Jazzmaster upside down, love it!

[Whitey420602]

If anyone just knows a lot about Jimi and likes to tell stories hit me up. I could listen and learn about him forever. I spent all day at the Jimi Hendrix exhibit in seattle at the experience music museum thing next door to the space needle and Im from phx!!

[ResurrectedJimi]

@Whitey420602 check my channel out for shits & giggles. not true stories, but interesting enough.... :)

[Bok97]

Jimi is jamming!!!!!!

[thegrayplace]

It's quite obvious where these two dudes stash their shotguns.

[handlez626]

these neegiesinvented a grip off dances

[LETITGO1977]

That is Jimi Hendrix. Just watched the biography on it and this clip was played. HE's the guy on our left (stage right)

[sproutle]

Buddy & Stacy were part of Little Richards touring revue at this time - his 'Royal Company' the musician are his tour band.

[MrJoepottoe]

lol yea if that isnt jimi I don't know, he even does his 'guitarswipe' or whatever u call it :)

[Kaaawa2000]

THe dance moves begining at 2:15 are pretty close to the Blues Brothers.

[TheBigClock]

UM This is jimi, check out how he does the arm/elbom fretboard wipe during the clip, classsic jimi move...

[Steinhausenn]

Night Train was an all-black rhythm & blues, vocal group harmony and soul music TV show produced at WLAC, Channel 5, Nashville, TN and hosted by Noble Blackwell.

[TheEthanSays]

MACARENA!!! 1:23 ... this video has a LOT going on.

[Maguirearch]

He also cultivated the Moustache from Little Richard...is that Billy Cox on Bass there ?

[ProAtHaloYo03]

I didnt even see him in the back lol

[chungazrevenge]

make me sad to think about Jimi

[LSDRecords]

cant even hear jimi. I think.

[thereal001]

work it out buddy and stacey!! Its good to see a clip of jimi working the chitlin circuit!! I swear I love watchin Jimi Play aka "backwards"! Souf Paws RULE!!

[jamespuyana]

i wish this guy get the fuck out of the way i cant see jimi. he sounds killer

[SaturdayVoodoo]

I don't know how you got this footage, but you are officially my hero because of it!

[Kinetic226]

they have no idea how big Jimi will be in about 2-3 years. lol

[riverjrdn]

@Kinetic226 ... THEY HAVE NO CLUE!!! Hendrix will become God, and here they are playing next to him, not knowing! But how could they know? Jimi, himself, couldn't have imagined it! LOL

[SteveGad]

@Kinetic226 ..and you can see Jimi's antics running overhand up the neck, the same showmanship that led to Little Richard throwing him off the tour. I love this footage, mainly because we all know what Buddy and Stacey didn't.

Classic post, thanks SaySpain.

[longdong9876]

@Kinetic226

We should be grateful to Buddy and Stacey for helping Jimi Hendrix along his destiny.

[60viking]

Respond to this video...
