Jimi Hendrix Jam With Roy Buchanan

[oregonHolly1]

IT IS NOT ROY BUCHANAN. THEY NEVER MET, they never, EVER met or played together. Well documented that Roy Buchanan NEVER played with Jimi or even met him. .

[courageFFS]

I can see clearly now that this is Hendrix!

[meatforyourmom]

firstly, i would like to comment on the sound of the vid.secondly(pretty good considering it was recorded on some type of tape), when does roy buchanan ever come in???

dont get wrong; i like a long winded solo from hendrix every other day, but to mention buchanan or his influence in this solo is a travesty for jimi's solo and buchanan's prowess...just sayin'.....

[snakerog]

@meatforyourmom I think the lead is being played by Buchanan. You can clearly see at about 1:21 that Buchanan is playing the lead. Why the camera man is focusing on Hendrix is unknown. Hendrix takes the lead at about 3:19.

[JonBenait06]

Only one missing is Jeff Beck and fuck Eric Clapton in his fuzzy ass.

[geodati]

well this is recorded from the first camera, or potato ? who knows :D

[1PJfan]

Very rare footage as Roy was partial to touring the east coast (although he loved Japan) and Jimi was partial to europe. Jimi owned a studio/apartment in NYC and Roy was no stranger to his place. No footage beyond this dream is know, however, stretch your mind and picture the fury during those sessions... Roy just owned his caster and had unreal soul... made it sound like nothing ever heard. Jimi was great too! Roy pays many tributes to Mr. Jimi during his late gigs, lookin/laughing at sky!

[MichaelSirois]

I forget the name of the guitarist Jimi's playing with here but if I remember or find it I will post it, but it is not Roy Buchanan. He's a well known session musician, though.

[shermnduke]

!!!!!!!

[nedbless]

what the...'!?%$#@&^

[Matheuscdca]

Sera que existe algum deus la em cima?

[Bluezking]

I've heard it & seen it again & again.I'm sure 1st part played by Roy n 2nd part ?its Jimi.

[Bluezking]

I'm very confused ???????????????

[b4ned]

dear frankiev---wow R U full of shit about Hendrix.

[frankiev1231]

Hendrix couldn't Jam with Kieth Richard !! or Ron Wood because those mother fucker can't play SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rock and Roll Best Loser !!!!!

[DazedConfused1969]

@frankiev1231 lmao

[MrRealtime420]

Quality may be lacking a bit..but it's music history....

[JimboLAngeloMysterio]

Roy got his sound out without the fuzz box, the best rock/blues guitarists of that time. Jorma at the time was doing his blues in hotel rooms with Jack. Eventually became Hot Tuna doing first acts for the Airplane then breaking away.

[guitar19904]

@JimboLAngeloMysterio

jormas fucking awsome, embroynic journey as a work of art

[makalavena]

who's playing bass and where was the video taken?

[superninicoco]

what's the name of the theme please? i know i've heard it before

[PorkFrog]

Is he even playing a tele?

I can't tell-I thought it was a Les Paul

and he looks too tall to be Roy, judging against the size of the guitar

plus no signature tone

I'd say 'no'

[juniorbsd]

mixed videos, fake jam

about the music, dont know who is, but rocks

[EdVidz]

yall this vid is a groove, don't argue creds - the bass player is funky and Jimi's being Jimi - encore I say

[bluesfuse]

it could be me on there lol

[5jerry1]

I looked this up on wikipedia (take the reliability how you will), and there it says Hendrix didn't jam with Buchanan, he passed on it. There's no mention I can find of it happening. This doesn't sound like him, but the uploader says it is. Myself, I don't know.

[Kr0nic777]

lol Roy makes Jimi rock back and forth

[willwelsh816]

If I had a dollar for every pixel this video has I'd have one dollar

[PBANDSNOW]

@willwelsh816 More like 50 cents...

[jrc604]

@willwelsh816

Hah-hah! That's too funny!

[john63us]

bad video or not this is a fng classic thank you!!!! two of the greatest!!! RIP!!!

[1954tele]

 That is definately NOT Roy Buchanan

[Mick80200]

LOOK AT THOSE SWEET ASS GRAPHICS MMMM

[MrJimihnrx]

I think that's Mike Bloomfield..

Either way, great to see Jimi jamin.  That's what he loved to do..

[srvfan2112]

@MrJimihnrx I do agree that he looks a bit llike Bloomfield in this video, but from what i've heard from bloomfield i think the phrazing of his solo doesn't like like any of blues solo i've heard from bloomfield

[1PJfan]

Roy flew under the radar but was no stranger to Jimi. They rocked out together in Jimi's loft (NYC) and jammed for days on end... Roy was a beast

[Rexprox101]

fuckyeah!!!!!

[DogCatchersBand]

Definately NOT Roy Buchanan: no signature tone

[rottenroger]

Now that's a cool clip, I don't care who ya are!

[oregonHolly1]

That's not Roy. Roy Buchanan NEVER met Hendrix and NEVER played with him. It's a fact.

[SaypheZonE]

I think the camera is on LSD or something

[Tartarox]

The video quality is bad, but the sound....oh it's good...

[daniellarsonblues]

this is legit, I had it on very bad VHS way back when. Now it's a very bad youtube clip.

[turdshaper]

I would like to see a better conversion of this footage. Headless bass player! I hear two guitars. That did kinda look like Roy, the way he was wearing his guitar high up

[turdshaper]

I would like to see a better conversion of this footage.

[keithalan10]

LOL :D

[keithalan10]

Look dillweeds. It,s Jimi fuckin Hedrix and Roy God damn Buchanan

[nronconi68]

THis looks like it was recorded from the Moon landing footage tapes and then sent analog through a fax machine

[musichopper]

@nronconi68 LOL

[rondaine1]

@nronconi68 daaemmmm, u so clever 1. betcha u from a different century from an ivy league

physics...khee khee khee sending dat footage analog over fax.... wat an f-brain u got....try to let

it live up enjoy....yeehaw

[Tonicwine999]

@nronconi68 ...and then recorded on a calculator

[pasalichm01]

@nronconi68 lol

[ediblehorse]

is that Roy? don't sound like him...

[PhilipJRiley]

I can't believe that you saved this! Thank you - I saw them jam - but after all this time don't remember if this was one of the times. Do you have anything from "The Crossroads in Whitfield Chapel Maryland?

[dezziwood555]

I love it! "Was this recorded with a cellphone?" was hilarious! Jimi was long gone before cellphones. RIP, bro

[daniel7899999]

@dezziwood555 Yeah but maybe aliens travelled into the future and gave Jimi a cellphone and then Jimi got someone to use the cellphone to record this video.

[CantDenyDime]

@daniel7899999 by aliens you mean jeff beck and joe satriani. prove to me they're humans

[krikeymate]

Historic meeting of two legendary guitar masters. I guess Jimi really did gig with everyone Very cool that this recording exists..

[robscott1951]

Cell phone in 1968?????????????

[worldmusicvison]

very cool



[Tombugs49]

This is some bad ass groove!Two superstars gone too soon.

[Tombugs49]

This some bad ass groove!Two superstars gone too soon.

[lefolus1]

is this recorded in a caculator? :@

[theAyak808]

@lefolus1 LOL i do agree with you dude..

[bamboosa]

Jimi on guitar, Roy on bass. Simple.

[TanthalasMajere]

@slufas01

Correct it's not Roy, the two never met - to the cellphone statement, it's called a joke.

[slufas01]

First of all that is not Roy. If you know Roy then you know this is not him. There is no resemblance to Roy;s playing, None. Second of all, are you serious asking if this was shot on a cellphone? Um, this is from what, 1968 or 1969? Phones had dials and wires.

[qwecars]

@slufas01 No, I'm not serious. I'm usually not "serious" when I'm JOKING!

[MrJohnthegreat22]

This was many years ago when video was not the greatest yet.

[Cxaxakluth]

If I had a dollar for every pixel in this video, I'd have one dollar.

[fjgindy]

@Cxaxakluth

And a counterfeit dollar at that

[MrDogrose]

look at the face. it's roy. sound's bad.

[richdys]

God this is so not Roy Buchanon. My annual contribution to debunking this nonsense. . . . Not sure who it is but there is no precision to his playing the fingering is sloppy and unpicked. . . the pulls are all wrong. . .it's laughable. . . . Have a wonderful day.

[fn55]

Con...

Listening to You Are Not Alone by Roy, (Roy playing a Les Paul) he does play and have a similar sound to the guy playing and holding his guitar close to his body the same way Roy used to play! It’s really old footage, but a rear gem none the less who ever it is.

[fn55]

Very interesting footage. The other guitarist other than Hendrix is said to be Dave Woods. The footage is said to be taken from the Generation Club 7th of April 1968 (later to become Electric Ladyland Studios). I have to say it does sound like Roy Buchanan to me. Buchanan is said to have had an old Les Paul that he may have traded for his more reconisble Telecaster (Nancy) that he acquired in 1969.

[knighterrantfilms]

This has got to be fake... The JImi doesn't have his nose, or stand like him, or play even...

[mamasboy815]

It was always Jimi On Lead Roy on Bass. Jimi Hendrix said Roy was wlcome to join anytime!

[WMorganic]

That may have been Roy, but he was playing a BASS. Count the strings...

[mamasboy815]

@WMorganic It was always Roy on bass.

[53160]

My man Glenway McTeer laying that groove down rock solid

[Naturyl]

Doesn't sound like Roy's tone to me.

[ironpirites]

I believe this is a really a tape of Hendrix and Buchanan jamming. It sounds like the kind of funk that was played in the 1960's. To me it sounds totally authentic. I don't know how you could fake it without going to a lot, and I mean a whole lot of trouble. You'd have to use someone like Tony Springer to play the Hendrix role. Roy appears to be playing a Les Paul which would fit if he just showed up to sit in. It would take a Roy to mesh so well with Jimi. This is NOT two other contemporaries.

[Torazah]

this is BULLSHIT

[PaikCitron]

Here are all the details about this jam:

home.online.no/~hpjohnse/hendr­ix.html

quote:

"Roy Buchanan was formerly believed to have participated in the 07.04.68 jam, but this is wrong. The featured guitarist is most likely Dave Woods, with Ed "Bugs" Gregory on bass, and possibly Glenway McTeer on drums."

[emsafeman]

lmao.....I think this was recorded a little before cell phones came out

[gamoonbat]

Dear Mr. Fantasy?

[pinealino]

[codehendrix]

@pinealino its actually not fake... it just looks like it because of the video quality....Ive seen a better version of this same video..... and its not fake.... it used to be on youtube ... but they took it down.....

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!­!

WHAT A JAM MAN!!!!!!!!!! TWO GODS ....................incredible

[PaikCitron]

We can hear the begining of this jam at the end of another video, but this time Buddy Guy is mentionned oO

youtube.com/watch?v=zsCGLoFs1E­o

There must be a full video footage of this event hiding somewhere..

[VRGrass]

HmmmMMmMM Looks like Roy IS it a Tele? He is Holding it High even Sounds Like his Very clean Playing Style And He just about Out does Jimi who else Can it be

[keithalan10]

It's easy to tell who it is if you listen. but I'm old and know my guitar players

[jimi2k7]

@keithalan10 yea man, each guitarist have a own sound and style, and then when play a note, automatically you know who is

[rrrdog51]

@keithalan10 me too jimi is unmistakeable it could be rb but some say this never happend

[keithalan10]

Easy to tell who it is.If you listen. But I'm old and know my guitar players

[jongreek]

The image is so muddy and indistinguishable it could be a jam between Floyd the barber and Krusty the Clown.

[fredsassy5]

this is awsome

[cinna71]

lol ther wer no cell phones back then LOL

[endurocatfish]

whoa wouldnt it be sweet to be a fly on the wall for this one

[birkettman]

Jimi  playing back up.. Roy Leading.. Bass player and then the drummer ..... its audio like the old dsays

[GuitarsPeople]

Jimmy and Roy that's Crazy!

[edw700]

This is a recording of a recording of a recording of a recording.

[f3l18ipsk8erm]

@edw700 and the original recording was filmed with a calculator

[elkerblues]

fefdfdsfa

[mindingosafado]

This is by far the best jam I've heard in a long long long time

[1PJfan]

People, watch Roy's version of Hey Joe, live from Austin TX. You will sh!t...

[mikkiebtjonk]

@1PJfan THANK YOU, because of your comment i actually shit myself it was one of the best things i have seen in years man

[rolex427sc]

@1PJfan

agreed the Austin show IS THE SHIT !!! baddest guitar ever!

[1PJfan]

Jimi - Yes; Roy - must have been playing in tight quarters to be that upright..... They held their private sessions together....god only knows what that lions den sounded like.... Roy - Unreal!!!

[MrPrimergray]

Pardon me, I meant to write those dates as April 7 and 15, 1968 (not '66), sorry.

Interestingly, the later date featured none other than B.B. King, Elvin Bishop, Paul Butterfield, and Al Kooper among others.

[MrPrimergray]

To the quality of the video, it's obviously a low-quality video dub shot from a monitor. The source image shows timecode running at the bottom of the frame, so it must have been shot with broadcast-quality gear originally.

I believe this video does indeed show Hendrix, as his guitar, technique, and tone all correspond to the period.

[MrPrimergray]

According to documented performance/set-list data: Jimi played two dates at the Generation Club, located at 52 West 8th St. in New York City, on April 7 and again on (possibly) 15, 1966. The date of the 7th was documented as a jam with Dave Woods on guitar, Ed "Bugs" Gregory on bass, and Glenway McTeer (spelling?) on drums. Dave Woods is a longtime player from NYC, who today teaches jazz guitar workshops.

[QuistTV]

wow. shocking. That shredding it's kinda..Hendrix like. Except Roy was around way before... hmmmm!!

[order57]

You're watching history.

[sdenny]

thats not roy buchanan , i reckon dave mason

[guitarbob63]

@sdenny You need to look at the way he is holding his guitar. I believe it's Roy because he held his guitar unusually high like the man in the video.... that was his style plus I think he's wearing that ugly Ivy hat he wore back then. Remember the Stones tried to recruit him at one time so there is no reason that could not be him he was certainly the right age. Just my opinion.

[jamminjoe44]

Wait just a minute everyone ... I was just watching Jimi Hendrix watching Buddy Guy play on stage ... Jimi Joined him at the end of the video to jam with him ... This picks up where the one I was just watching left off ... Goood for me lol .. I found part 2 of that video I was just watching :p

[qwecars]

What the hell... is this recorded on a cellphone?!

[JeffW77]

@qwecars uh...when did cellular phones with video cameras become commonplace?

[qwecars]

@JeffW77 I knew there was going to be at least one person that would take my comment seriously! It's a freaking JOKE! lol

[JeffW77]

@qwecars Haha...I will spit out the hook.

[biggerturtle]

@qwecars no cells back then idiot

[qwecars]

@biggerturtle Damn ,some of you guys are stupid as hell!.... I WAS JUST JOKING!!! Learn to take a joke "idiot"!

[codehendrix]

@qwecars yeah i went back in time to film them.... your welcome!

[2pacinseattle]

@qwecars

I'm fairly certain that cellphones weren't around in 1968, so, no this wasn't recorded on a cellphone.

[omesur71]

@2pacinseattle

You´re an idiot

[TimboBumaye]

@qwecars haha cell phones in 1968

[peterm3964]

@qwecars .Yeah everyone had cellphones in 1966

[qwecars]

@peterm3964 Reaheheheheally?!!!!!!!!!!

[gymnosophy]

@qwecars Do you need pictures!

[earthtoneless]

Ha ha ha ... don't look like Roy and don't sound like Roy !!! Sorry, just cause the guy has a goatee and plays guitar do not make it Buch . In the words of Simon , "Sorry"

[Karmlik]

definitely jimi.

[sothewind]

Thanks to everyone who backs me on this, IT's NOT ROY. Roy never met or jammed with Jimi. Woulda been incredible but it NEVER happened.

[lancelot250]

Roy and Hendrix NEVER jamed together. I was in the music business back then and was frineds with Roy I even did session work with him. He never jamed. He liked Hendrix just never played with him

[SteveInRye]

No doubt that is Hendrix though. Sure sounds like him and come on, looks just like him. How many left handed black dudes played a right handed upside down strung backwards Strat back in 68 or so. I suppose it could be a coincidence that someone kept the camera on the black guy while he was playing rhythm but I kinda doubt it. Somebody was filming Hendrix just cause it was Hendrix.

[bthoma1]

@SteveInRye what do you mean sounds like him? the "other" guy is playing lead most of the time

[SteveInRye]

Well I don't know who the 2nd guitarist is. But whoever it is that is not a Tele he's playing. You never get a clear shot of that guitar but I'm gonna make an educated guess here and say it's a Les Paul. Go to the frame at 1:26 you can see the shadow of the headstock on his shirt. That is a Gibson headstock. Now go back to frame 1:23, look down near his fingers and you can make out the L bracket attached to the body of the guitar. On an older LP that is where the pickguard was attached.

[EdVidz]

This is downright funky rock, damn. Might be RB on the closeups, looks like a Tele. Groove is nailed.

[folksmusicband]

Look at the upside down Strat and strung backwards,Hendrix, Duhhh

[mjazzguitar]

It almost sounds like blues , I and IV, but when it's supposed to go to V it does something different which sounds good.

[mjazzguitar]

Gotta admit if it isn't Hendrix the guy kinda had his style down.

[Artshayarsha]

In The Jimi Hendrix Monterey DVD you can hear a portion of this same live recording while the introducer talks.

I don´t think it's bad, they are just jamming.

Thank you doca1986!

[37terraplane]

sounds like Roy's "overbends" to me...! Holding the Tele like he used to, also!

[owensp001]

This definitely is Hendrix and it sounds amazing 

[rolex427sc]

i don't give a damn who it is--this is very STRONG and I dig it...

[starmedia1]

The drummer sounds as if he may be retarded

[starmedia1]

If that's really Roy or jimi they must have both been really drunk because all of this music stinks. Hendrix at his worst never sounded this bad. It sounds like a blues jam at the club across town when they let the really shitty players get up at the end of the night!

[john4951]

I wanna know who the bass player is here .....

[bamboosa]

ok, kids, that is Jimi, not his best playing, not bad though. I have no idea who the other guitar player is.

[wc4dblues]

come on now this isn't Jimi/ RB, this is really bad!!!

[fearlissimo]

Never ceases to amaze me how much garage rubbish gets onto YT claimed to by Hendrix jamming with whoever. This isn't Jimi, or Roy, it's BS

[wc4dblues]

@fearlissimo you're right, this is not Jimi, I can't believe anyone would something this bad on YT, then say it's JIMI,and ROY. some cats calling it a masterpiece.

[tvrulesnation]

@fearlissimo

Whoever posted this though managed to find 2 VERY identical looking artists to hendrix & Buchanan, unless it was added in. You sure it defo aint hendrix? like even the style of movement & hand is the same....As for Buchanan i'll take peoples word who love this artist more than myself that it ain't him

[sothewind]

Anyone who says this is Roy, or anyone who says they have a cousin who played drums for Roy and he jammed with Hendrix........they're full of shit. Read the comments here if u dont believe me, or try reading Roy's biography......not only did they never jam together, they NEVER met.

[sothewind]

Roy NEVER played with Hendrix. They NEVER met. Hendrix jammed with a ton of people but Roy wasnt one of them. RIP Roy.

[funkster007]

The music recording doesn't even remotely match the video footage. Jimi's definitely jamming with some cats in the film though.

[kennopalus]

One of my high school friends cousin played drums for Roy Buchanan . He told me that they did meet and he as seen the video of them jamming together . I don't know if this is it but there is supposed to be one. I will send this link to him and see if it is the one he has . I will post again and tell you what he ses

[karmabites1]

Music and video don't match. Video can be a club jam or concert stage. As Hendrix jammed with literally hundreds, hard to say who else in video. It's before October '68,as Jimi is playing with a rosewoodn neck, always maple after Winterland. Roy? Hard to say,like richdys says, they probably never met.

Sound, some of it sounds like Hendrix, so I'd say it's a boot of a jam. It's not Mitch on drums or Redding on bass. Get "Nine to the Universe" to hear some great Jimi studio jams. This is bad.....

[0BlackArchangel0]

Well, that's HD! xD

[donedave]

the video is blurry, the sound is decent, but not great; so who knows.... I've never, ever, ever read any accounts of Jimi & Roy jamming. We know a drunk stupid Jim Morrison got on stage & screamed inane obscenities while Jimi laughed & noodled around because that crap bootleg has been around for ever. Ted Nugent claims he jammed w/ Hendrix, but I've never seen any verification of that story either. Even if this IS Jimi & Roy, neither are playing up to their abilities.

[unabonger777]

that's Jimi but it sounds like the music is just some dubbed in bullshit by a garage band

[johnnylance]

I think it really is both of them and it's not very good, like a lot of Hendrix stuff. Of course the rest of his stuff was genius...

Cool to see though.

[raptorpaw]

if it's not Jimi who is it then??? Sure it's Jimi, the One and Only, Jimi Hendrix!

[Freddyguitarslim]

Hey people this is bullshit....it's not Jimi or Roy....would've been nice though...

[tommybrere]

I`ve watched hours of Hendrix and it sure looks and moves like him, the guy on bass would be Bill Cox if this was genuine but that is definatly not Peter Green, I`ve asked a bloke I know who produced him at one time and he is 100% its not Green, as for it being Buchanan I dont know enough to comment. To be honest though doesnt sound good enough to be any of them

[armik2]

That aint even hendrix !

[fcbtim]

the 3rd guy that takes a solo is without doubt jimi hendrix, right?

[MrBluesjamman]

definately hendrix, but the other guy playing bass not guitar. it may be billy cox
