[theHenrines]

[philharmonica61]

Yeah you pointed out the bass player. Hendrix is next to hte drummer, playing upside down and backwards. He's the one with the jimi Hendrix face.

[postpile]

PEACE & LOVE----NEXT SCHEDULED AMERICAN MURDER...ANTHONY BARTEE

[49erfanohyeah]

The drummer is tight!!!

[HeartCrushedDakota]

makes you wonder what happened, society wise

[lowendbob57]

Yes, Jimi is a lefty, and is standing far left in the video next to the drummer.

[hectorbull]

el guitarrista que muestran en el comienzo del video con la leyenda "este es jimmy hendrix" no es, jimmy es el de la izquierda del video, el primero es derecho, jimmy era zurdo y el primero ni siquiera se parece fisicamente,

[Wolfdog2u]

gaejangguk Thanks man ! Great video of Rock 'n Roll history. I didn't see the arrow pointing at Jimi ,cause I reached over to turn on my subwoofer, and I still knew which one was him instantly. I've been LMAO at some comments made here ! Most prcbably never saw him except on YouTube,videos, Mags etc. Yes, he's the one playing a upside-down right-hand guitar left-handed. Saw him at The Mosque Richmond Va. August 20,1968 $4 Have photos! B4 that On July 23,1968 The Who w/ The Troggs same venue !

[rubbersoul44055]

the arrow points at a right handed guitar player? I think hendrix is the LEFT handed player in the band if that is him at all.

[Gatolespaul]

jimi is not indicated in the begining of this video jimi is left handed

[PBGSURFER65]

'Move over rovers,Jimi was soon to take over'...

[flyingfryingpan7]

@1:58 he slips in a little trick with his right hand

[RAYRAYSTRICKLAND]

Jimi is left handed.

[MichaelLydon]

Super!!

[eephourdan]

...that guy you pointed out is not Jimi (must be the bass player)...though you can see him during the performance....he's the one playing LEFT handed

[rickyblount2007]

Jimi paying dues! Ha, Ha....

[DinerChat]

you pointed out the wrong guy.Jimi Is the man wright in frount of the drums.

[zzyyxxo]

this is hot. The whole band just rocks it.

[KingDeramo]

Jimi playing bass - & tearing it UP! Check the overhand fret strokes @0:57.

[AAA1969]

super gay dancing !!!!

[chalenish]

Yes!! You are RIGHT...that is Jimi on the left of the screen!!!!

[crazybxdon1]

that "jimi indicator" at the start is incorrect! Look at the left-handed guitarist at the far left-That's Jimi!

[2patero]

NAH DS IS DA SHIZ! LOL

[Exile0nMainStreet]

0_0 Well, all musicians had to do gigs they didn't like and pretend they did. I guess Jimi did too.

I hope this was one of them .

[mahoghany43]

gayness

[LiveFoe]

Yeah, everyone knows Jimi was left handed.

[mickeymousebiker1]

Great sound and these cats are stylin'!

[Eddieguitarloebs]

That's not Jimi,Jimi is the guy to the far right!

[Eddieguitarloebs]

That's not Jimi,Jimi is the guy to the far right!

[MrDanzo711]

Well, they sure did not sag their pants back then did they!

[dewave60]

please correct. wrong guitarist ...and you know this!

[MightyCraw]

Thanks, this is a great vid for a lot of reasons.

[snowbird1962]

天才ジミヘンにも、こういう下積み時代があったんですね・・・



[Bebb2455]

I like the little forearm riff Jimi puts in around the 2:20 mark

[kwesi01]

It's absolutely obvious that the right-handed player is not Jimi - different hairstyle, nose, face, and hairline on side of head. The other black guy (!) is visible playing 2nd/3rdeft of Jimi...

[paullubliner]

@kwesi01 Absolutely, just was about to say that myself!

[skok58]

Milli Vanilli template?

[TheLordHighXcutioner]

Nice moonwalk by Stacey.

[thecrew221]

TheDesire,you Googled eye Dillbag.Its Jimi quit whacking off and pay attention.

[LiquorWreckedEmGood]

Um, Jimi would be THE LEFT-HANDED GUITAR PLAYER dumb ass.

[TheSnyth]

Great clip - Jimi is on the left though... Playing lefty :)

[nickthefox72]

Typo meant jimi lol

[nickthefox72]

@TheDesire78 Spot on! Them idiots below going in about Joni playing right handed made me laugh

[johnnyguitar335]

Cool as cool can be. Rhythm guitar groove city. Gahroooovie! If you dig these epoch sounds check out our site on youtube---johnnyguitar335

[TheAriake]

he looks little bit like stunned in the beginning he

[mortyok3]

Geezus, you guys! That is not Jimi in the first frames, Jimi is on stage right, playing a Jazzmaster in his typical left handed fashion. You can see him do his wipe-the-fingerboard thing at 2:25. Too bad they didn't let him stretch out in this....

[mjgkmjgk1]

Jimi is a lefty therefore not that hard to figure out ...

[Realitytourist]

Note Jimi's signature double-swipe of the fretboard at 1:00!

As for Buddy and Stacy, I think the Village People stole some of their moves!

[rollingstopp]

dynamite to see stars in there early and semi early days

[frankgalantejr]

Jimi plays left handed guitar :)



[theelevan1]

Jimi Hendrix was ambidextrous. He could play guitar right-handed as well as left-handed. He wrote with his right hand. You can't necessarily tell whether a guitar player is left or right handed by the way they hold the guitar. Although it feels awkward, it is much easier to learn how to strum with your non dominant hand and work the fretboard with your stronger hand than the other way around. Think about it. And fix the video to say this is "not" Jimi, which is what caused this whole argument.

[dowsemeister]

Jimi's eyebrows were bushy back then...I really like the left handed guy on stage right.

[TheMonkeybeat]

Can't be bothered reading the whole thread but I can't believe all the ridiculous comments arguing about whether Jimi's playing a Jaguar or a Jazzmaster. He's not playing guitar folks, that is a BASS! I'll leave it to others to argue about what model it is...have fun insulting each other! By the way, this is historic because it is Jimi and that it documents a thankfully long gone style of club band.

[SmelOdies]

@TheMonkeybeat I beg to differ, Mike.

NOT a bass, it's a Jazzmaster guitar. At exactly 47 seconds, you can clearly see the headstock of a bass behind the singer. The guy with the big hollowbody is playing bass. Think it's an EB 2.

[carolmarieritcher300]

OH I miss the 60s

[shortwatchtower]

this is a treasure ! so awesome

[edstac5]

What the fuck ever. Thanks for sharing this glorious piece of history. Despite having the black Siegfried & Roy in front blocking what's important to me. Thanks again. paz/peace

[falconiana123]

HOW CAN YOU NOT NOTICE THAT JIMI IS THE LEFT HANDED GUITAR PLAYER!!!

[Ccheek]

The guitarist in the first 18 seconds is not Jimi. unless he was playing right handed until the first splice, panning out to he whole group.

[Ccheek]

@Ccheek  Nevermind I see there's another guit player now.

[Tilleyass]

from background to forefront in guitar genius. many greats start out like that

[Manolian]

Great , thanks for posting.

[MePJtheDJ]

Are those dancers GAY or WHAT?!! !

[ALDEMP]

@MePJtheDJ back to your trailer you inbreed hick!

[ALDEMP]

@MePJtheDJ nothings more GAY than a DJ!

[FlexBillionaire90]

Well you got to get your start somewhere... right?

[firemachima]

before LSD ?

[August875]

@aristole358 Everyone makes mistakes... even musicians. For 1, jimi Hendrix was one of the best left-handed guitar players in that era, and for 2, you should not judge people for making even the simplest mistakes. We All make them. IF you knew anything about music at all, you should know that noone is perfect! I think he did a fine job with the band - just sayin'.

[hofnerman1]

It's no wonder that after having to endure these cheesy moves and music that Jimi, turned to drugs. LOL

[ichaffee1]

these guys were good.. and live too..I did not realize that there was someone before Junior Walker did this song.. its wild you can hear Hendrix's style even then coming through

[rgv2006tx]

fucking amazing...this song is also the shittt..thanks gaejangguk. Great performance

[Fortapistone]

Jimi right handed and left handed later, this point not jimi he is on the most left

[slimboy1927]

@Fortapistone your utterly wrong jimmi was left handed always, his dad got him a lttle red guitar cant remember the make for his 13th or 14th birthday, if you got his early 1990's best of cd there is a photo of young jimmi playing it left handed on his front lawn of his house

[slimboy1927]

@Fortapistone your utterly wrong, jimmi's always been left handed, his dad bought jimmi a red guitar cant remember what make for his 13th or 14th birthday, if you have his late 80's early 90's best of cd, there is a photo of a young jimmi playing it on his front lawn of his house left haded as always.

[9xarthurx9]

@slimboy1927 Bullshit, he is left handed but he could play right handed. And do you why ? Because his father wanted him tod play like that, because for him playing left handed wasn't normal. So when he saw Jimi playing left handed he corrected him. And with the time, Jimi learned to play both of style. Left handed when his father wasn't there, and right handed when he was there.

[otaku1514]

nevermind the arrow....everybody knows were jimi is in this video.

[haulofrecords]

Left handed Jimi is on the left because his guitar sticks out the other way from the right handed players. also, that's a Fender Jazzmaster, not a Jaguar he's playing.

[gingafuzz1]

It's Jimi on the far left alright!....anyone notice the classic Jimi move over the fretboard when he obviously got bored at 2:27 ?

[petricpl]

never saw this before, very cool

[66LifesMistress77]

I saw the video and thought nothing of it. When they started to perform, my eyes just automatically went to the real Jimi because it's so obvious how he was playing and I knew he was lefthanded. Easiest thing in the world to think nothing of at all because I'm left-handed. And if I played, that's how I'd do it. The other way just doesn't feel right to me.

Give the poor guy who uploaded this a break. This is really awesome! What a find!

[Armydicked]

FIRST!!! Thank you for the upload---ignore the fools trying to 'bust yer balls'!!! Second, this video is amazing!!! It is one year before Jimi Re-invented himself as the JIMI HENDREX EXPERIENCE (1966), before Macca recommended him to people and before the Monterrey Gig. Look at him in 1965---its hysterical!!! He's Chitlin Circuit stuff. He's Small time. He's oldies touring stuff. If he didn't play his 'swamp music' (Lil Richard) and re-invent himself, he would have died a nobody...WOW!!!

[chitownlefty1]

Correction!!! The guy in this video that you point out as being Jimi IS NOT Jimi!!! Jimi is off to the far right of the other guitar and bass guitar players next to the drummer!!!

[crowman1979]

I think the dude on the far left next to the drummer is Jimi. Mainly because he's playing like maniac as always.

[zorzum]

Celui qui ne reconnait James Marshall Hendrix sur cette Vidéo est surement Complètement Inculte en ce qui Concerne L'Histoire de Jimi.

Evidemment c'est le Gaucher, on le reconnait .... lisez tout simplement sa biographie, Il a été Un moment musicien de studio et accompagnateur, il n'est pas arrivé directement avec sa guitare en feu !!! il parait même qu'à sa naissance il n'avait pas encore sa guitare !!!

Merci Jimi.

[tastofmusic086]

thanks for the upload. good proformance

[yeddi42]

00:23 yeah he just Play with the guitar....

[yeddi42]

That s só great....yeah all we know which is hendrix....see what he does......lol.....AND the guitar arm

[lareguitar]

youtube.com/watch?v=vn16gzU1_-­4&feature=youtube_gdata_player­

[easydata]

My mom is left handed. No, really, she is.

[Lengo67]

Buddy and Stacy did a good job on the song and they were strong performers. I don't give a damn about your opinion of their performance. After all, they made it to TV. You whiners haven't even made it out of diapers yet!

[faurosan]

wtf jajaja awesome jajaj

[davidgoodlettmusic]

Correction: Jimi is the guitarist all the way to the left playing left handed.

[josh71111]

wow that is not Jimi you idiot he is left handed

[poosie52]

"No FAT Entertainers Then - Unlike What's Out There Now"! "I Wonder What Happened"?

[gordazacatitos]

 JImi is the guitar player closest to the drummer. He's the one with the guitar upside down.

[jmdosh]

Smoooookin'!!!!!!  THX

[STREETSURVIVOR65]

WIPES HIS GUITAR AN MOVES LIKE A PRO ...

[kmsmith49]

I wish those pinheads in front would get out the way.

[guttorocha]

[TheDesire78]

Even though the wrong gitar player is pointed out as Jimi....I still enjoyed seeing this!! Allready Jimi doing some wicked sjit with his gitar....stroking it like it's his lover! thanx for the upload

[tlsale1]

Buddy & Stacey were lovers ya know

[dpkingbluesguitar]

Actullay the Drummer is Jimi's Aunt Bristol, and the Bass players later joined the Plasmatics.

[RCAvhstape]

Wow, who are these two butt jokers? Is Wayne and Stacey gonna have to choke a bitch?

[jody808]

i see Jimi started to develop his tricks on the guitar

[MusicEducationOrg]

Watch what he does for an instant at 2:24 ! That's a classic Hendrix move.

[zorzum]

@MusicEducationOrg YES !!!!

[danimal51]

@MusicEducationOrg you are right! that's totally Hendrix!!

[gaejangguk]

i hadn't noticed he was playing a jag, and frankly can't believe it. i'm going back in to watch. wait which one is he again? hahahhaahaha. next guy who points the arrow fuckup out gets it removed for everyone

[guitarbob63]

@gaejangguk He's the one doin' all the tricks even though he's behind the scenes....star in the making

[Leg0man122]

@gaejangguk hey man, Thats actually a jazzmaster. hard to see though.

[metallian11]

playing a Jaguar, like Kurt later...

[whytiger]

AWESOME ! Very Horny Experience across the board.....Jimmy ~

[pacocanas]

that Was not Jimmy, jimmy is two guys to the left, playing lefty

[SuperGuitarmaster2]

Know how to spell his name?

[Josefclemens1]

ive never thought "skinny jeans" existed way back!

[aristotle358]

Yes. Jimi is the left-hand player. Can't believe the fool got that wrong.

[gaejangguk]

@aristotle358 DEAR dickhead; i did you the service of uploading it i didn't bother to correct the filmmakers obvious mistake. i assure you that he and I and everyone else on this thread know who the fuck Jimi Hendrix is, but that those same people had not seen this clip. go back to criticizing your mom's cooking and fuck off of this and every other video with adults who don't want to read teenage bullshit

[aristotle358]

@gaejangguk DEAR FUCKWIT I don't believe my comment above deserved the kind of reply which you wrote. My comment was clearly not aimed at you but was aimed at whoever made the mistake; and my comment was not nasty. So why don't you fuck off and finger your arse you MUTTERFICKER!!!!

[brit1958dec]

@gaejangguk So you're saying you just want the credit for uploading but can't be bothered to even post something in your description that corrects the 'obvious mistake'? You could either ignore the comments or politely acknowledge that it was already on the clip you ripped off from someone else. Go ahead and delete it - its already available elsewhere anyway.

[cahboony]

@gaejangguk fuck u insecure fuk!!!!



[quaxk]

@gaejangguk teenage "bullshit"? aren't you the one calling people "dickhead", talking about their mom, and telling them to "fuck off", in the same, unpunctuated, running on, denigrating, childish, sentence?

[hartley81848184]

@gaejangguk

These young kids today.... they got no respect...

[wc4dblues]

@gaejangguk If you are the one who uploaded this treasure THANK YOU. Just goes to show you how many jerks there are out there. I hate it when I se where someone has put something up, and people rag on them. Where did this come from?

[systemspel]

Dear! Gay or not, they sing and dance so well as to leave all others behind!

[alkaw]

Wow that was gay.

[panchobehrmann]

Jimi is playing a Jazzmaster, actually. And these guys have some "jazz hands"

[causeisaidsomichael]

that is not jimi hendrix he is not next to the saxaphone player and that guy is playing the guitar right handed

[manz92]

after seeing this lucky jim saved music with voodoo child and what not!

[JimBrinkley1]

I think this is from a Nashville TV station--WSM. Jimi had just been discharged from the 101st Airborne and he was living in Nashville in those days.

[gaejangguk]

@JimBrinkley1 bingo



[DennyA71]

@JimBrinkley1 This was actually for a local late night R&B show in Nashville recorded at and shown on Nashville's CBS affiliate WLAC. They later produced The Beat!!! shown in Nashville but recorded in Houston or Dallas. They were the closest studio with color recording capacity in the late 60's.

[robin56]

Excellent, TY!

[hereigns56]

man, they are "light on their feet!"

[javierb415]

Did anyone notice the star looking design right behind hendrix?! And the three looking figures pointing at him kind of?! Cool. He soon was a star!

[beenohopps]

Hendrix in the background doing what he does best, playing the shit out of a guitar.

[brusselleke]

Yeah,

Jimi is obviously the far left one. Look at the way he's going with his hand above his neck and doing some totally different stuff than the others haha.

And h's left handed off couse!

[Hawolation]

how can you be so fucking gay?

[gaejangguk]

@Hawolation finally a guy who knows. i agree that stacy and whatshisface are the gayest performers I have ever seen!!!

Gaejangguk 개장국 Boshintang 보신탕 mrjyn dogmeat "dog meat" "traci lords" cicciolina cynophagie

[jroxx11211]

@gaejangguk the guy you pointed to in the beginning was not jimi, jimi played left hand and that guy was playing righty, the guy on the far left was jimi.

[esslar1]

@jroxx11211 Good call, I was wondering about that!

[jroxx11211]

@esslar1 thanks, if you look close you can see its definitely jimi playin left handed all the way on the left side, ROCK ON!!!

[ultrakool]

@Hawolation i give buddy and stacy two snaps up for being such well dressed mens

[sublime88sublime]

[sosidecop64]

[sublime88sublime]
