[guitar19904]

jimi was a guitar legend

[Luisito6119]

Jimi Hendrix is God

[sexypoetry]

i want to join the pole shift survival group or start the new one.

[chunksteak]

man the version off "Jimi Hendrix Concerts" is out of this world or not from this world i should say! Jimi draw from the astral and presented it to the earthly so we may remember where we really come from.. he was/is a messenger send from beyond... i wonder where he is now!!! Play on Jimi...

[tokaicarl]

@chunksteak YEAH THAT WINTERLAND VERSION IS FUUCKIN UNREAL...solo gives me goosebumps stil now...

[chunksteak]

@tokaicarl yeah man especially when he kicks in with teh wah pedal and wammy bar dives and gets that cool feedback and somehow incorporates it in the melody... only Jimi!

[tokaicarl]

@chunksteak yeah spot on mate...i though machine gun wa sthe bollox(solo) until i heard that are solo were talkin about..its the melodic feedback that gets me in it....thank fuck they recorded that version properly..actually cant find it on here now thinkin about it \! peace

[viveLaCifte]

8 people didn't experienced t



[rodentcafeteria]

The things this man did with a guitar will never be equaled - NEVER!!

[mauriciovilas]

debajo del ruido y las noticias canta el alma torturada del siglo. Qué intenso soy x D!

[DameDisco78]

@mauriciovilas So true!

[snhereford]

Jimi was a spiritual -type player. The music came from within. Something that rarely happens too much now, because people don't consider it commercial. But what comes from the heart, touches the heart. always. Never forget that.

[F1MMAnCITY]

@snhereford Absolutely agree!! Love this tune.

[mielazul]

I really love 1970 era Hendrix for all the new directions and overall brilliance of the shows. But the shows in the late summer/fall of 1968 were so magical...especially this song. The version on "The Jimi Hendrix Concerts" from Winterland is so GIANT AND COSMIC it's staggering. That CD is out of print, but the Estate is coming out with a Winterland collection soon. I hope they don't diminish the sound. It was phenomenal on the original release. Check my channel for some good raw blues btw

[KAMON1973]

@mielazul

Your right!! I have that Cocert cd. I have just brought the winterland box set. The feedback at the start of Are you experienced is HUGE!!! and when he starts the chug chug of the first bar is monumental!!!!! Its one of the most powefull moments on mussic I have ever heard. AWESOME!!!!!!111

[mielazul]

@KAMON1973 Thanks for responding.  Since I wrote that last comment, I went and got the Winterland box set too - they have the version we're talking about, and also another one that I came to love very much as well. And the sound is really good (thanks Eddie Kramer), so they didn't screw anything up like I was worried about. Have a great day bro - it's good to know there's people out there who have the same ecstatic reaction to I have to these things...

[JeanTubby77]

Jimi transmitted his x-traterrestrial encounters via his music, God bless him <3

[tecumseh22]

Master of the Stratocaster. I never knew him to use a Telecaster, 90% of the time he was a Stratocaster guy

[vonkiser]

@tecumseh22 he had the Gibson "V" he liked to play and I have seen photos of him with a Les Paul.

[lambgtr7]

forget porn.. i cum way faster to this

[rollingstopp]

Alex harvey said you can reach more people with a telecaster guitar than you can with a Ak-47

[sabaurae]

7 people are not experienced.....

[enurrequiem]

i have noticed that Justin Bieber is , the; sort of "Lamb Sacrifice" of you tube. 7 dislikes is. Seven unexplainable perspectives (w/closed minds)!!!!!!!

[jazmaan]

Phoenix was one of the best live shows Jimi ever did. Amazing setlist. We're lucky any audio survives at all. SOMEDAY computers will be able to process this crappy audio and make it sound better than we can even imagine. And they'll match it up with holographic movie images of the Man.

[oiceth]

why not take the time machine and go to the future dumbass hendrix would be alive

[enurrequiem]

"i'm not sure what happened at 2:13.!!!!!!!!!!!"

[stratocat9999]

Back in the day, I used to cover this song, with no clue how Jimi would have done it live, (I never knew he had done it live).We just took a guess and went for it. Hearing this, I can see we were not very close. :) But then, who would be?

[valleysofneptune]

Never surpassed, sadly missed. James Marshall Hendrix 27/11/42 ~ 18/09/70.

Forever in our hearts and ears

[Kellogs43able]

if eric clapton is god...

it's only because jimi made him in his own image !

[thefeepy]

The way that he conveys emotion still knocks me out

[mrjagman3]

bad audio man..

[kookykallie]

I did a report on him for school

[dereksoundcloud]

holy fuck the drone of his guitar gives me chills.

[mistrynp]

where is the winterland version of this? It is awesome too

[mielazul]

@mistrynp Yeah - that version on The Jimi Hendrix Concerts release is HUGE. One my all time favorite pieces of music. Out of print, of course...and there are so many of Jimi's masterpieces - recordings and video - STILL hidden by legal wrangling or whatever other petty reasons. Anyway this is another beautiful version - he was always majestic, but somehow he sounded especially cosmic and enormous when he played this live.

[omarks]

feedback heaven

[guitar19904]

most spiritual guitarist. just goes to show you dont need to shred to be a great guitarist

[2patero]

@guitar19904 AMEN! His playing is Mystical & Supernatural!

[posiden125]

igotthewhip

if your going back in tyme to take a hd video why not just grab jimi and bring him back with you instead

[stratist2]

starfleet to skull ship, please give me your position

[mistrynp]

oh my god.....

[CoheedAtThe930]

sick ass picture....love the vintage stacks and strat. in the bkground

[enurrequiem]

@CoheedAtThe930 .. simply stunning.

[napomania]

shivers..

[steviemacful]

video was very cool ,great montage of jimi clips

[TheTikobum]

"And the Lord said, let there be Jimi Hendrix; and then there was light. Jim was not that light but came into the world to share the knowledge of the light light. The world rejected that light and so it's backward today."

Why God? Why pick on all of us and not just the backward folk. How much can a Koala bear?

Nothing new under the sun since Jimi went to heaven.

[TheTikobum]

Whether it is played live dead or in the studio, this is the best of the best. Long reign King Jimi!

[walt7500]

The man who realy started electric guitar = Yes! Les Paul! But Jimi used it all!

[romienomie]

The man who invented electric guitar as we know it today.The Thomas Edison of the electric.

[1worldcurrency]

Wow. I never even knew he played AYE live. Youtube was created for old jimi tape sharing.

[RastafariPoet]

Same didnt know either lol

[codehendrix]

seriously....

[wushucyn]

oh man oh boy sit down.....

[henny66306]

Trees were happy to die in the knowledge that they could serve as wood for Jimi's guitars.

Unreal stuff from His Guitarness Jimi...once again.

Peace & Love from Netherlands,

Henny

[codehendrix]

that was quite beautiful of you to say that...

[EyezaGotSKILLZ]

im glad you typed out your name on the bottom there henny, didn't see it on the top there... woo wee that was a close one.. kill yourself

[staercky]

Cheers for posting this! I've been looking for it for a while - used to have it on cassette and can't find a record of it on the discographies I've looked at so far. The song I'm really after is Voodoo Chile SR - I seem to remember it being the funkiest version I'd ever heard!

[4JayeP]

Jimi's set-up was basically two stacks of Marshalls (cranked all the way up) with a Strat that had single coil pick-ups. It's amazing that he could actually control his guitar! With that much volume through single coil PU's, the hiss and feedback is like trying to control a raging beast !!!!

[PoposNewGuitarChan]

@4JayeP

you forget he had a fooooooz!

[VooDuMuze]

He was Very Gentle when gettin Feedback fr his guitar,although it doesn't sound like like it.Those amps being Cranked Up,all you had 2 do was lightly " tap " it at times,and adjust the whammy,to keep it in Key.

[cydonianman]

yeah i noodle with my guitar with my amp turned all the way up and just barely touch the strings. sometimes just tap the back of the head stock or neck. if ur not finesse with it then all u end up doin is makin uncontrolable noise. its easy to get out of control.

jimi had that finesse that nobody else has.

[VooDuMuze]

Do ya have " a maple " neck ? The Rosewood & Ebony ones almost acts as a type of ground,although Maple gives a broader range.Noticed Jimi played wt Maple " live " fr 69' through the end.

[cydonianman]

the neck is maple but the fret board is rosewood... i think

my guitar is a Telecaster btw.

[cydonianman]

@cydonianman "the neck is maple but the fret board is rosewood... i think my guitar is a Telecaster btw."

duh..mine IS a telecaster. it was my grandfather's till he died. i didn't know much about guitars till after my gramp's death a year ago. just found out recently from my great uncle that he built it himself. its got a humbucker bridge pickup. i still like noodling with it while my shoebox size amp at level 11

[cydonianman]

after hearing jimi's music i dont need LSD. and this dude played LOUD...i mean LOUUUUD. those who were around to see him live say that it went through ur bones. u become a changed man after leavin jimi's concert.

thats why jimi called it an "electric church".

[VooDuMuze]

To me,its better this way,because,you would of lOst A Lot of hearing.But...walked away wt a piece of his heart.

[leslieghore]

Jimi Hail Jimi! The master of the guitar universe!!!!

[VooDuMuze]

I doubt he considered himself " a master ",cause his playing was so " personal " .He was often Frustrated live,because of tuning problems and audience Demands.He was more of A Seeker,who through Desire often found Delight

[cutis1000]

Listen KeepPlayTheRecord! Since you obviously have the complete audience tape of from this concert, why don't you post Come on Pt. 1 which follows this tune? It's a sizzling rendition and is worthy of posting. Please do it!!!!!!!!!

[jhendrixfanatic2]

Come on pt. 1, Phoenix, was just posted today! check my favorites. Enjoy

[CleoBeatrice]

ottimo antidepressivo sempre

[dgwg2007]

Jimi's the electric feedback sound king!!

The only musician who could use feedback and create a symphony out of it in a coliseum which seems to have poor sound quality.

[cydonianman]

jimi brought order from chaos with melody.

[Danklin24]

This is all fucking noise. No real song here

[codehendrix]

its a call .... its actually just nature (randomness) taking place and us recieving this as a story..

[xKinseh]

It's not noise. It's called Creative Suicide

[02DZ]

AWESOME!

[TheRollingStones094]

Novum07, WTF, Is your problem??, this song may not be his best but he is still a fucking icon i mean listen to: Purple Haze or fire and you will see why english is better than spanish (at least for Music)

[imafoolhahaha]

and everything else too

[capostatus64]

so what gets lumped into "english"?

[imafoolhahaha]

idk that was my sis on my account i dont even remember sayin that

[Novum07]

¿Que tiene eso de interesante? solo oigo a un tipo drogado tocando la guitarra.

[hndlback]

why i dont like spanish?! hahahahaa

[Novum07]

Ni a mi el vulgar inglés ja ja ja ja !!

[steveinmidtown]

Took me a few run-throughs to figure out what was what but this is cool.

[winesparkler]

Love Jimi... Done Acid and whatever... no wonder he sounds so good. Yea! Had to be there, I guess.

[marduk345]

have you ever done acid  probobly not so shut the fuck up

[originalname33]

exactly. people here throw around the notion of LSD like its cigarettes... they really don't know. LSD is just years of meditation in a blotter. temporary enlightenment, and even longer if you're wise

[JeanPaul1964]

interesting point of view!!!

[JeanPaul1964]

interesting point of view!!

@ original name!!

(to avoid misunderstandings)

anyhow , I think its better to grow and to developp if its possibel.than tu use the drugs .but if u take then u have to learn from it!! ( the experience)and not only become a user!!

[originalname33]

I agree....but LSD might point some people in the right spiritual direction.

it really doesn't matter...I just say meditate no matter what. I know I need to do so more.

[jhendrixfanatic]

Then he follows this with Come on Pt. 1. How rare is that? I have seen a number of acts at this venue and I think of this show every time I am there. The sound of LSD? I guess. Then again, there is nothing can be ingested that could make someone think of this ,then play it with their eyes closed. :o)

[hesright7]

there isn't, huh? OH YES THERE IS, OH YES INDEED

[knowitall26]

this is what acid does to your head, right here, the sound of LSD brought to life.

[WebAnt]

So,is that a good thing or a bad thing in terms of the quality of his music?

[hesright7]

listen and ask yourself, "where has anyone ever heard anything like this before or since?"

[glaxev]

I dont see why people are flaming him, what he is saying is true, but its a positive thing, basically saying how jimi hendrix was able to create something others would only be able to feel.

[Novum07]

Agree!!!

[dbige23]

there will NEVER be anybody as good and original as this man

[romienomie]

Nobody did it like Hendrix..I'm sorry I missed the excitedment in the 60s. I was too young and didn't understand what it was about..Didn't become a fan til much later. He was a genius. Long-live his music!

[cutis1000]

This is really a fantastic concert by Jimi. It easily belongs in the top 10 live shows he performed in the U.S. in 1968. Release more!!

[BeenBad4U]

WOW! Thanx for this - please post more!

9/04/68: Phoenix Memorial Coliseum, Phoenix, Arizona. Are You Experienced? Come On (Pt 1) Little Wing, Voodoo Chile, Fire, Spanish Castle Magic, Foxy Lady, Like A Rolling Stone, Sunshine of Your Love, Hey Joe, Star Spangled Banner, Purple Haze.

[elecktrick9s]

what planet was he from anyways?

[macewindu67]

anyone have Manic Depression live?

[albertonicanor]

awsome!

una genialidad

[igotthewhip]

some one needs to build a time machine and take a high def camera back to 1967

[KeepPlayingTheRecord]

Haha! That's a common fantasy of mine. Get sent back to the 60's with the tech of today to document every concert and impromptu jam session he had. :)

[dado00]

lol and when you get back in time you realised that because you took taht technology back in time the technology has doubled in information and totally changed time i would just go back an see hendrix:D

[cutis1000]

@KeepPlayingTheRecord You said it, bro!

[Polybun]

@KeepPlayingTheRecord the tech they had then was just fine, just very few people owned it. Your typical hydef cam doesn't sound any better than this.

[rakunko]

@KeepPlayingTheRecord

I would fund you.

[Nguli34689]

@KeepPlayingTheRecord Just don't take back the laws we have on the books today, otherwise the Monterey Pop Festival would have been littered with confidential informants and the Bear would probably end up serving two life sentences. Send back the heads, not the feds. Then it would be all right!

[animalhugo]

That sound like a good and great idea.

[Leyenda1]

@igotthewhip

N shit! I would have been happy if the cameramen at Woodstock would have held the camera steady.

[josh71111]

@igotthewhip right on!

[Mountindude45]

the sound quality is prety good considring it was live and he was also proly fucked up on acid

[eddiegrey]

Amazing to hear a live take...and pretty decent sound quality, all things considered!

[eddiegrey]

Amazing to hear a live take...and decent quality sound, all things considered!

[cutis1000]

If you have this audience tape than maybe you can upload the absolutely sizzling version of Come On Pt. 1 which Hendrix performs. It's one of the BEST versions EVER!!!!!!

[eggmangoogoogoojoob]

Burn those Marshalls!

[taipobryan]

Very nice!

[jhendrixfanatic]

I had just asked someone on u2be if they had this and then you post this rare/beautiful track. Cheers to you, my man. Sometimes the gems are in the bootleg audio/audience tracks.The man was an improvisational genius.You have to get past the bad audio and just appreciate that some hippy had the foresight to carry in a small reel to reel to record this. (that's right, no cassettes yet!)Although I bet the estate has a soundboard copy.THANX AGAIN

[31003707]

have alot of shows but not this one...some one p.m. me would love a copy...maybe we could trade...
