Jimi Hendrix Experience at The Lulu Show LIVE - January 4, 1969

[ChaosRuler32]

Hendrix just kinda gave up in the end because of the short amount of time they had but he loved just the little jam lol

[flaxonx3]

I reckon he only played the songs so as not to freak people out. The distorted soundscape he did before convention made him go into 'Hey Joe' is what he would rather have expanded on into a sort of cosmic jazz not bound by the limited boundaries of the pop world.

[StratoBlaster420]

THIS IS MY GOD!!

[madmic1967]

I love watching this guy play, completely effortless, as if this was what he was born to do, not something he learned. A true master at work. A Paganini for the 20th century.Where is his equal now?

[ChaosRuler32]

@madmic1967 He's not a guitarist, he's a force of nature!

[1herbiekritzer]

Force of nature . .

[LedWhisky69]

Pause the video at 4:26. Lulu has one of the prettiest profiles of any woman I've ever seen. She's gorgeous.

[theguitarczar]

That IA SO AWESOME! Any time I need a laugh I watch this. I love the way Jimi has to tell Mitch to STOP! They were thumbing their noses at the P's.Tht.B! PRICELESS!

[theguitarczar]

He's playing through a 50 Watt half stack instead of the wall.....Still just as awesome! I like it better, man!

[fredg136]

I watched this live at the time back in the day, you can see how brilliant it was, and on live TV they couldn't edit or fade Jimi, the clapping was because the TV show was ending but Lulu didnt close it. Hendrix hated playing old stuff 'this rubbish' when his music had and was evolving. He had made his name in the UK in the Autumn of 1966 by jamming with Cream and playing, sublimely, something Clapton couldn't play; Killing Floor. They became and remained good friends. Jimi liked competition

[LarryBraswell]

listen closely from :40 - :45 seconds... yeah!!! That is what he was looking for!!!

[HeWhoBearsTheMark666]

"...and uh, yeah, yeah I forgot the words. But I got to get out of here as fast as I can."

- Only Jimi Hendrix can forgot the lyrics in the middle of one of his songs and casually just mumble out some other words in its place and not only make it sound good, but get everyone to love it better than the original.

[ARRISIPPY]

Four decades on and no one has even come close.....

[HIDEOUSLYOURS]

Love The 'I Feel Fine at 6:00

[lilc2021]

Im so High!

[eastsidekoolaid]

HENCE! That's why he calls the last song "rubbish." And they get cut off the air because they played for too long and Lulu wouldn't have time to do her goodbye stuff for the show.

[eastsidekoolaid]

Actually no, he stopped because 1. by this time in his career when people asked him to play "Hey Joe" (which Lulu did ask him to do) he didn't like it, he wanted to move on from his past songs, specially songs that weren't his. and 2. During the song things weren't going right, that crazy into he does with the whammy usually untunes strings, but us it may sound awesome either way but Jimi wasn't happy. So he abruptly stops "Hey Joe" to start on Cream's "SOYL" cause he wanted to.

[impellitarian]

Actually, Jimi did not forget the words, as it is said in the description of the video. Lulu was going to sing with them on Hey Joe, but Hendrix didn't want her to sing because he thought he'd look stupid (which he would). The whole stuff was planned from the beginning.

[cwstark7]

Wow, really? Where did you learn about this?

[impellitarian]

I read Jimi's biography. It's called "Room full of mirrors", just like one of his songs

[GoldenNakai17]

@cwstark7 Room full of Mirrors Jimi's biography.

[1stclaret]

@cwstark7 he learnt it from the jimi hendrix biography by Charlese R Cross im guessing

[kermicheo]

@cwstark7 it was a hendrix documentary made by mtv. it was pretty well known on youtube but it got taken off.

[marcab71]

@impellitarian Your absolutely right!!!! It's been planed from the start!!!!

[rafaelblock]

You gotta love the way Jimi goes to tune his low E string after the first line of Hey Joe at 5:55 and gives a little grin and a "Whoah!" over his shoulder to the guys! What a great sense of humor! The performance is all about having fun!

[cwstark7]

@rafaelblock, you have that right!

The "South Bank Show" (Great Britain TV) in the early 1990's has Noel Redding discuss this session. The band went to the bathroom to have their "smoke" before the show, but it fell down the sink drain pipe in the bathroom! Noel Redding then found the BBC maintenance man and insisted that he alone perform the maintenance and get the "ring", which the BBC man was willing to do. Noel went on to say that after they got their "smoke", all was well......

pure voodoo magic!

[haduroboros]

OMG 3:48 - I showed this trick at the end of a song in a TV show with Půlnoc on the Charles Bridge, unfortunately, the camera just took something else, as is our custom. It hurt terribly, but it sounded tremendously :-)

[iamRottenRon]

Wow - excellent footage!

[busfaucet]

I Feel Fine at 6:08 ?

[seacow1970]

"We're being put off the air", - man- whoever made that decision: Well Done - like worst ever call in all of television and music history.

Lulu is still pretty hot, amazingly.

[jimijoss]

I'm so happy that someone is keeping the show going!!

[Dtarza]
