THE KING GOD!

[LoneWolfNaota]

That was just... amazing! :D

[thomashood252003]

Jimi was way out of tune and was quite bummed out about it......

[dvschsa]

Hendrix is tuned to d standard - a tone below standard tuning. something he started to do later in his career. check out band of gypsies.

[KenSkaii]

lol he extended the intro on purpose and confused both his bandmates.

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

tunings a bitch

[looksik]

in the begining hes sayn 'i didnt learn this from a school' fukers

[ThomasBCullen]

is this open tuning?

[ColdAsIce3211]

@ThomasBCullen no standard in c minor

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

@ThomasBCullen actually i think its standard tuning in b

[koolinturn]

lol was anyone else think he was about to break into Voodoo Chile at the end?

[318Sunshine]

Whatever their issues were with one another, if any... Bottom line ~ One of the best bands ever!

[shroomingnewman]

is that mitch mitchell on drums?? it doesn't look like him sans the afro!!

[southsaturndelta220]

@shroomingnewman Yes that Mitchell, w/o his perm.

[VoodooKush]

um? the fret count is a joke... not much more than that. people these days... haha

[danslatente]

What's with the BS about Benjamin franklin studios in 1733? Hahaha, was he taking advantage of them cuz they couldn't speak english? LMFAO

[fevershorty]

@danslatente this little thing called drugs

[danslatente]

@fevershorty LMAO



[danslatente]

Oh... haha wow

[Noodles37UK]

In spite of the band politics this is one of the best of live Hendrix on YT.

[Razamataz89]

@Noodles37UK Cheers man :)

[blackrock6770]

noel couldnt stand for jimi to nod his head at him when it came time to change chords thats why noel looked away at times , and you can also tell jimi was very fed up with that to , you could see it in his face

[added23]

lol 600 views for a hendrix vid. this world is fucked

[WWEhopeful]

When mitch messes up: "Maybe the audience is so high, they won't notice..."

[g0ldbuG]

@WWEhopeful Jimi said something in an interview to the effect of the audience wanting his visual gyrations and on-stage antics more than the his superior musicality and it bummed him out. the former was a good attention grabber but the latter is what Jimi was increasingly devoted to and knew would sustain him for the long haul career-wise.

[g0ldbuG]

@g0ldbuG The Experience was straddling a socio-cultural borderline between the improvisational jazz world and the more image-oriented rock world and Jimi knew it to be a tenuous balance. Undoubtedly Jimi was disappointed in a large part of the audience which was insensitive to the subtleties and artistic accomplishment of his music as hard as he worked on it and as much as he believed in its transcendental value.

Sound of God......

[Hendrix247]

Obviously still great because its Hendrix, but man were they off at this show. They hadn't been able to score any drugs and were in desperate need after the show ended. The tension between Hendrix and Noel in this show is obvious unfortunately.

[PAULOcbi]

@Hendrix247 I like Jimi making fun of Noel at the beginning,lol,counting frets,lol.JImi was grating onstage towards BuddyMiles after that trio wasnt werking out as well.

[MorningView4]

Video goes into stratosphere at 2:06 when he turns on the fuzz face for the solo. Incredible.

[jakkjakks]

JIMI IS DA MAN!!!!!!

[GeneralEisenhower]

1733 ?!?!

[isveryniceyes]

Haha counting the frets down, i remember having to do that. Good thing God has Jimi up there teaching him how to play guitar with his teeth.

[fluxmuldar]

@isveryniceyes what is this "god" that you speak of?

[isveryniceyes]

@fluxmuldar What do you mean?

[PAULOcbi]

@isveryniceyes Jimi was aping Noel when counting the frets,lol..Jimi was grating onstage towards BuddyMiles as well when Buddy`s playing was not suitable to Jimi as well.

[added23]

@PAULOcbi how was he making fun of noel??

[PAULOcbi]

@added23 when he`s counting the frets at the beginning of the video.

[added23]

@PAULOcbi i see him counting the frets but i dont get the relation to noel redding.. what am i missing?

[PAULOcbi]

@added23 ,Noel was an amateur on bass and often counted down the frets to get the right key,by this time Jimi was tired of Noels` redundant bass lines.Jimi made snide and unflattering remarks about BuddyMiles playing while on-stage numerous times as well when he was tired of Buddy`s 'power' drumming.Thats why he called up Mitch and Billy,then it was perfect.

[added23]

@PAULOcbi oh ic thanks for explaining. im suprised he didnt like buddy tho. hes such a great drummer and has a good voice aswell

[PAULOcbi]

@added23 .Jimi had some serious debt and had to come up with an LP to cover a lawsuit from EdChalpin and the construction of ElectricLadylandStudios so BandofGypsy`s was quickly hatched but I dont think Jimi had any intention of keeping this line-up going.Buddy`s 'power' drumming doesnt come close to MitchMitchells` virtuoso 'jazz' influenced drumming that goes perfect with Jimi`s style.MichaelJeffery is the greedy piece of shit that was ripping Jimi off from day one,

[hendrix7755]

@PAULOcbi he counted frets at isle of white with billy on bass to

[PAULOcbi]

@hendrix7755 yea your right,I do remember seeing him do that ,I have the Isle Of Wight BlueAngel DVD.

[hendrix7755]

@PAULOcbi yeh lost mine :( have the first disc still :)

[PAULOcbi]

@hendrix7755 I just watched BlueAngel Jimi at The Isle Of Wight and could not find him counting the frets during the show,I think maybe we are both mistaken .

[hendrix7755]

@PAULOcbi watch the long version on youtube of all along the watchtower

[PAULOcbi]

@hendrix7755 yea,I ended up watching my DVD again ,(stoned this time,lol) and caught it just b4 Watchtower ,and he wags his finger at Billy as if confirming or making him aware of the Key of the song ,or some other motive? who knows.Kinda weird though,I mean Jimi was a guy that fried his eggs in the mornin` with his Strat already on practicing,it seems odd that he would need to count the frets down so I always assumed he was jostling Noel.

[hendrix7755]

@PAULOcbi good :)

[tacitus2244]

@PAULOcbi He does count the frets before the song

[boiledrootbeer]

I have this show on video and his guitar is out of tune the whole time. Every once in a while he'll really get into something.

[MaXCKY]

Damn Jimi was pissed the fuck off

[ReydaRiota]

Mitch fucked up the beginning there xD and then Jimi's guitar is completly out of tune look his face at 1:39, this was such a mess boyz.

[LotusHacker]

@ReydaRiota

the soloing is awesomeee though. he does look pissed through all the songs but it looks like he gets into it during the middle

[garybryant7]

Jimi just rocks out, what else is there to say!! Awesome player.
