  • Oh shit how GREAT!!!!!This scene, this music,this........ -JIMI HENDRIX - my hero!!!!!!!

  • The Great Spirit Was the master musician, Jimi was his instrument, and the guitar was the amplifier of Jimi's soul connection to Love's message...

  • @1Ma9iN8tive That is awesome, man.

  • the movie was great!!! I want to get back to Hawaii!!!!

  • I remember going to a flea-pit cinema in London to see this movie back in the 70's.

    I have somewhere an old bootleg record of the sound check of the Experience for this Maui concert(s) where he does another version of Hey Baby (Land of the Rising Sun), very poor recording, but Jimi Hendrix never-the-less.

  • @ 00:31 this guy is macking three wtf?

  • 1:35 The essence of Jimi hendrix... he didn't use to play his guitar to express music... he used to play to express his soul and his life... pure magic...

  • ah, beautiful chords...thats Jimi. Sounds like embryo of the Jimi's song - "Drifting"

    What a songwritter... it's not only about burning guitar, playing behind the neck, etc. He is like the Beatles or Pink Floyd or Led Zepp. Every song he made is good , original

  • If your not wearing a headband GTFO

  • JIMI HENDRIX CONNECTTION TO CHEMTRAILS-PURPLE SKIES-PURPLE HAZE

    The United States Military is exposed for spraying Chemtrails. This is a Mainstream Media Exposure. Here is the proof thatbrings this subject to the realm of ‘ Fact’ They are spraying Barium & Aluminum into our skies to controlthe weather & our health! ‘Weather Modification Bills passed toCongress in order try and make this Orwellian population control

  • @exposingthemachine

    yeah i have read and heard of that shit and it really really depressed me one night and i almost stopped thinking positive. but somehow i stopped worrying about it (not that i dont care about it!!!) if its true, its made of some very poor and primitive souls on this earth. it would be a lack for everyones health.. i believe in rebirth, and that all souls are immortal, we are all here to learn, but we dont have to worry, even after death. jimi believes that too..

  • @exposingthemachine

    one day were all gonna die here. and it doesnt really matter for the rest of the universe if our planet and species is gonna make it or not. AND: the innocent has nothing to worry. i think if you are a good and pure soul, full of love, you will be able to move on. Everyone will move on after this level.. Jimis Music is so timeless, it brought me thoughts about the love of life, independent of the lyrics in it. I think hes still around ;) sorry for talking so much.. LOVE!!!

  • trapped in an alien body are you nuts cooky wake up people its about inner strengh learn and grow evething is good thats the magic

  • trapped in an alien body are you nuts cooky  wake up people

  • Its so sad at the end cos he was really depressed at the time and he's just playing this incredible lick........

  • JImi brought the guitar into a new realm which inspired the effect boards we use today. The use of the Univibe on this tune is just one of those magical inspiring tones that has always brought me back to the spontaneous genius of Jimi the improvisor. His feel and touch and ability to just play music spontaneously is what younger players should be trying to pick up not just copy, copy, copy. A unique magical musician that only comes around once in time. Drugs, are means to an end, a quick end.

  • @CarvinTone Well said. Although he was always under control with his drug-use, strictly only used hallucinogenics to open his mind. The music business killed him

  • What a great piece of music how can anybody dislike this?

  • No bouncers?

  • This dude is unreal

  • i wanna be there.

  • Those four acid dipped hippies almost fell out when he hit that chord at @ 0:21

  • Proven fact - UFO sightings spiked in Hawaii that week in 1970.

  • This song is called Maui Sunset on a bootleg Vinyl album I bought 30 years ago. The album was called "Wellknown Unknown". This track is killer!

  • F'n Awesome Stuff!!god i wish i could of been there for this show!!!!

  • 0:42 that is probably the most perfect moment in time so far

  • Rainbow bridge is a great film God America had such promise but the rich Americans turned it to shit with greed and un -checked ego's.

  • @slipstream18

    seriously.

  • @slipstream18 Have you ever actually seen the movie? It's the biggest piece of crap ever produced. It's only redeeming quality is the Hendrix concert footage.

  • @slipstream18 that's what happened to the Romans. Their great and civilized world conquering empire eventually fell in large part to decadence and a false sense of security.

  • @slipstream18 this thing called America is composed by millions, to blame a few is naive.

  • whenever im in doubt i say what would jimmy do?

  • @Ruiso1 I somehow doubt that works.

  • @JimmyPage97 lmao, i kno

  • very cool & soft version with the Flying V... the only really interest in the film Rainbow Bridge is when jimi plays ...

  • If there is a such thing as heaven this is what it would look and sound like.

  • Hendrix creates (yes still to this day) movements. Musical, cultural, philosophical

    other guitarists create a few memorable concerts and some great songs. But Jimi was a game changer. A true force of nature. I love the man.

  • I love that guy at 1:08. He's just groovin with his umbrella. The footage from 1:00 to 1:06 looks out of synch because it's from a different part of the concert but the rest of the footage is in synch. The whole movie is poorly edited.

  • The master at his craft. Man those people were lucky. I got to visit the house near that concert, you know the meditation center a few years back. The caretaker said the field were the stage was is overgrown with pines now. Jimi really ripped this concert out. The Hawaiian vibe definitely assisted his mood and playing. There really is a glorious power and trascendence to his playing as if peeking into a higher dimension. There will never be another Jimi Hendrix. His music still mesmerizes...

  • My all -time favourite Hendrix outfit! Love the blue suit he wore at Devonshire Downs as well...

  • I introduce to you Heaven, my friends

  • i love Hey Baby (NRS) . this rendition contains some of the most beautiful freeform-improvisational music i've ever heard-

  • lol @ grab ass at :35 

  • the video's out of sinc

  • @guitar19904 its not out of synch. notice at 1:33 its on cue

  • @doox420 the music is not live from the festival, it's from the studio bc it wasnt properly recorded

  • Comment removed

  • @t147413 No, the guitar and the bass are legitimate, just not Mitch's drums.

  • @thenoobassassin whats wrong with mitch?

  • @JimmyPage97 Nothing, his drums weren't properly recorded.

  • What has happened to America!? Where has all the talent gone?

  • 1.05 coolest Man ever

  • @gloapanot haha :D he's not the only one naked :D idk most of his fans naked always !

  • first time ive watched jimi use a guitar other than a fender!

  • wish i was there

  • lol "not that popular " back then . no , not in 1966 when he had to go to England

    to get noticed

  • i bet the government has already built a time machine but keeps it a secret so we cant go back to woodstock or anything and have a good time

  • lol the stage is hilarious

  • if this is heaven, il be good for the rest of my life!!!!

  • haha watch in the beginning wow those hippies really know how to relax

  • i also don't like bands that try to sound like the old days :P thats a failure, just do what comes natural and do not dress or act like the 60s thats so fuckin stupid

  • This is a trip. I only live about a mile from the spot where this concert took place. Had no idea.

  • This is a private hippy fest waiting for alien contact that day

    LOL

    Jimi played along

  • @davey4557

    ..oh , i think they got their 'alien contact' alright!

    he was center stage!!!(0_0)

  • this was when music was made to give pleasure, spread happiness,,just have a good time... no bullshit like todays mess.. and this is why Jimi Hendrix will go on forever.  music with a simple message.

  • that place is beautiful, that must of sounded insane

  • OMG...see how cool everyone is ,,,,AND RIGHT UP CLOSE TO THE STAGE...

    and just goovin and listen to the music..totally STONED.

    thats how we use to see all the great fantastic groups back then.

    i saw all groups you could name then ..like this.

    yeah..no coporate bullshit this and that back then...

    just pay your 4 dollars to get in..and go find a spot to sit...

    and be cool.

  • @CHUCKLOVES1969 these were the days .... but be sure that these days are coming again

  • @KafroThrasher i wish that was true..but now days..

    there are too many beer an car companies with the huge dollars..that would rather they be the 'stars'

    of the show...than let true talent be the main focus.

  • @CHUCKLOVES1969 the 50's are same as this decade that passed so I expect that the 60's will be like the decade coming.... hopefully :D

  • @KafroThrasher i dont know where ur getting your

    comparisons,,,but if the next Beatles are about to emerge

    andTthe Kinks an The Who...and Berry Gordy's Motown,,

    are about to come on stage..i'll buy you some love beads

    and a '65 mustang.(which cost 2,200) and we're off to the funny farm.

  • @CHUCKLOVES1969 Everything is happening in circles man: I mean in the 50's the world needed expression and freedom so in the 60's r'n'r emerged , that's why I reckon the coming decade will be same as the 60's ....A revolution is definitelly needed

  • @KafroThrasher let me end with this...i love 1969

    cause i was 18 the whole year starting jan 10th.

    i was at most every concert there was in LA...and loved

    every second of those days. the simplicity and quality

    we had then will never and should never be attempted again.

    im afraid, when kids now, would rather text than talk, or play video

    games rather than live a real life, i'm afraid that ur dream of a circle

    is more like a line..straight to oblivion...and confusion. long live the 60's.

  • @CHUCKLOVES1969 worthless world ....

  • @KafroThrasher+++ let just agree..to watch this calm and

    cool video of jimi jamming,,,and that incredible symbol of the times

    the girl on the stage just groovin to the whole scene. it was a

    golden time in our history...and i thank god i was there...and still

    alive today..to see the future. which if u look hard enough..isn't really

    all that bad. it isn't...................peace-­out.

  • @CHUCKLOVES1969 Well there where good and bad things back than, now we can't complain :P people complain to much , back than hendrix wasnt even that populair .

  • @xSnoweyexp u r right to say things back then were

    good and bad, but please do not think for one second

    that Mr. Hendrix wasn't even that popular back thEn.

    trust me, i saw him three times, and i will gladly inform

    you...he was Extremely Popular,,,back thEn. :D

  • @xSnoweyexp Well i always heard he wasnt as famous as he is right now maybe in the US but definately not outside the US. I know a writer from the Netherlands , i know him personally actually and he also told me that Hendrix once slept at his place because he had no place to stay :P

  • i love that guitar!

  • As a collector, I've always heard the rumor of a third set that was played, yet all we have" are tapes of two sets. Was there a third?

    Melinda Merryweather(directly associated with the making of Rainbow Bridge and shared some time with Jimi while he stayed on the island of Maui in 1970) - Yes, he played three 45-minute sets. In between sets we all played in this sacred Hopi tent we had next to the stage. I wish I knew where a lot of that footage was today. Somebody else asked me that.

  • Comment removed

  • @jhendrixfanatic2

    It could have been so much better, (for his fans today I mean). The footage and sound were rubbish, and thats why Rainbow Bridge album was mostly studio. Zodiac signs were far out but like Jeffreys footage of Berkley in May, Chuck Weins footage was disappointing. Jimi loved Maui but as usual when he had no input others took control. Mitch had to do all the drums in the studio after this.

  • There was only one concert, but as I remember it there were three sets. I don't know if you can see on the current video tape, but everyone Om'd before Jimi went on stage. Jimi then played a note for each zodiac sign and then he merged them altogether. People were literarily crying when the concert started. It sounded like cellos, then it sounded like violins, and then it sounded like a harp. It rose and then it fell like a full orchestra.

  • Then out of nowhere comes Billy with this slow funky bass. Jimi then walked up to the mike and started signing "Hey gypsy baby ... " The power of the music was incredible! He was in unbelievable form that day. He loved the whole thing. The concert was a full-blown, three-dimensional, no-one-gets-out-without -being-touched performance. Jimi was and still is the master without a doubt.

  • i could start an epic rant about how awesome jimmi is but ill safe me the time typing it and possible readers the time reading it so im going to say 'awesome song L'

  • Haha all those tree hugging hippies are wasted on acid lol.. I'll bet my entire bank account that Everybody got laid there

  • look at this, no security guards no unnecessary barriers separating Jimi from the audience, no ones getting harassed and nothings being damaged. Just a group of well behaved individuals who are solely their for the music.

  • jimi enjoyed his time at maui he felt more at peace and no pressure

  • I still cry when I see this video

    G

  • this is my definition of a perfect day, clear sunny sky's and trippin' to jimi hendrix rockin out. I dont think it gets any better than this

  • oh shit, broke out the flyin V. trust me, he just playin around this is nothing compared to what he can and wanted to really do. Praise Jimi. This was a beautiful masterpiece. Punk bitch Michael Jeffrey you lucky you ate it in a plane crash before i got to you.

  • @Lordhendrix70 Amen brutha :)

  • Hendrix was a alien trapped in a human body

  • @wisesatyr72 humans can't be aliens?

  • @wisesatyr72 Hendrix was blessed by god when he was born.

  • CLOSE YOUR EYES AND START TO TRAVEL IN TO THE SPACE

  • @guerrero89holy I swear I think Hendrix was into some pretty Cosmic stuff.. like he's been to other galaxies in his dreams or something

  • @atl2maryland I think Jimi would be the first to tell you he was not from this galaxy! He was well aware of it all, and that he had only a short time with us.

  • what a music..

  • How can this kind of drug induced happiness be illegal? I mean it's one thing to not be harming ones self but to be in love with everyone and everything around you like these people seem to be should be a basic human right, drug induced or not.

  • used 2 have this cd, fuckin broke....clean ragen.

  • This man was sent from heaven above as a gift to us all. How anyone can try to deny his greatness his beyond any comprehension.

  • every time i watch this video i wonder how many people attended. because it doesn't seem like much people there.

  • Chuck Wein recently died.

  • really? what of?

  • heart attack

  • Comment removed

  • Like 2 years ago...

  • is that a kappa trackie top?

  • @m4rkyboy ive always thought that,,,,,,,but i dont think it is on a closer look,cool though!!!!!!!!!

  • @oasishaun Ahm sure ah saw a bottle of cider as well

  • Am I the only one that noticed the first 10 seconds of bliss. Out of this f**king world.

    Reminds me of the bonus level on Sonic for Mega Drive, when you were running on a half-pipe.

  • Who says good things dont come from getting out of your mind on acid...

  • 30 - 39

    Unity.

  • He was out of his mind on acid.

  • and so was everyone else there haha

  • @satj23 He was IN his mind

  • the master of  time and space really put out vibes that went right over their heads

  • never heard anything like that

  • This guy is the best... bring Jimi back we need him!!

  • Nice V there Jimi!!

  • He's right Rainbow Bridge was a crap movie. Even worse than Magical Mystery Tour. Jimi was the movies only redeaming feature.

  • @buskerbuoy in a historical the movie is good. the bus trip the chick took was interesting. the hippies and surfers doing there thing in a big mansion in hawaii. its cool. not the best but wtf

  • hendrix.. awesome concert in maui.. rainbow bridge movie, a freaking disaster of a film.

  • hey guys this effect is a Phaser by roger mayer 1969!!!!!! now dunlop have a licens of this effect....

  • don't you mean Univibe?

  • yes now call UNIVIBE!!!!

  • effect ? organ and guitar jajajajjajjjajajajaj

  • what pedals is he using?

    univibe and a wah wah?

    let me know this is just such a good riff at the end here...

  • I have a Univibe deja-vibe and i think it's the best.

    I have the same sound

  • this music makes me happy. but also makes me sad.. because almost everything that comes out is horseshit compared to this.

    i can only dream of being there in person..

  • +1

    The beginning is like being sent to another dimension.

  • @FREDDY81FUNES maaaan, tell me about it!! im 17, but its like im 50 or 60 cus i hate todays music, back then is where its at!!!!! orr, where it was :/

  • @joshuasoberanes1 Come on guys! So many of us feel this way, lets start makin GOOD MUSIC again!!!

  • @60spastlife HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

  • wonder of obama was at this concert w/ his grandpops... wouldve been 10

  • Listen to his performance of Hey Baby in Sweden on the 1st of September 1970. You can find it on Youtube. It is astounding.

  • The good ol' days before the "Pepsi stage" or the "Budweiser tent" or any other corporate bullshit. I bet nobody got hassled or had to look over their shoulder if they snuck some party favors into the show.

  • The best music takes you into another world, another space. That's what this song does for me. Search out the boolegs, he played it often in 1970 with some very amazing, jazz and flamenco inflected solos. Mitch Mitchell has said this is one of his favorite Hendrix songs and when you think about what he is comparing it to, that says a lot.

  • this song is deep.

  • Comment removed

  • Watch 'the Dick Cavette show' performance, I think he does Purple Haze with an SG with two humbuckers.......sounds like him to me :D I agree though jimi was stratocaster. Peace!!!

  • yeahh iv seen it i dont know if heplays purple haze , but he playsmachine gun with an SG.

  • Triple Humbuckers!LesPaulSGCustom

  • Yeah I remember now :D

  • SG Custom --> 3PU's

  • omg that guy at 1:08 LOL

  • 1:38 - 2:09....let that be Jimi's epitaph. Long live Jimi!

  • @railcar123 so true i dont want the ending to end...

  • god that stage is soo amazing

  • He was/is still a GOD! Peace N Love!!

  • This is just awesome!!! Jimi Hendrix forever!!! Check out my pro-hendrix VOODOO CHILD video!! peace!!

  • look at that girl dacin' right by billy 0:48

    she trippin' and this the first time a saw him play with the v and the vibe! sweet!!

  • beautiful tune...love the univibe effect on those jazzy chords

  • no comment... he is god !!!

  • Tough Dude

  • nice to see jimbo on a flying v

  • Omg they are all stoned :D

  • coolest gig ever,...... Hendrix, Maui, Love,

    sunshine during the night, moonshine during the night

  • actually it was his closest bodyguard or roadie person of some sort saw a flying saucer that came out of the volcano whilst Jimi was performing..maybe he was on acid.

  • The drums were recorded, but improperly. The entire thing WAS filmed but has been lost for years and sadly may never turn up. This footage is from the crappy Rainbow Bridge movie. It's a mess of a film, but worth getting for the Hendrix footage, even though it was terribley butchered in editing.

  • this sounds like a great version of the song too. that's too bad. hopefully it will be found!

  • IF we're lucky, Experience Hendrix has gotten a hold of it...And will release it within the next 200 years.

    Alas, at least we have the audio....We're used to audio-only by now.

  • I don't think Experience Hendrix will ever release the CD of the concert unless Janie is desperately for money.

  • The guy in the panties with the umbrella is having a good time!

  • Comment removed

  • yeah lol it looks like hes naked

  • Did you know that Mitch had to dub the parts for this movie?

    :D

  • This is true, because his drums werent amplified.

  • Why they never recorded this whole show i'll never know. We fans got robbed...

  • What a great talent!

  • The Audio and video in this are not synced up with each other. Also Jimi only used the flying v for his second set at maui and he only played hey baby during the first set

  • JIMI HENDRIX = GOD

  • where in THE world did u get this maui vid?????????
