  • Hendrix, Iommi, Page, Hammett, Slash

  • @XEXDXWXY Oh dear God don't even mention Hammett and Slash in the same sentence with Hendrix. Page is definitely up there, but Jimi really was in a league of his own.

  • Here cums dolly dagger...her head so strong gon make u stagger ....drnk the blood frm a jagged edge....stp drinking mick jagger blood .

  • o yeah rap n blues

  • waui!

  • life has good--just wow

  • @MrRebbecablacksucks It’s an exaggerated wind screen…

  • guitar notes 3:5- 3:11 is REAL JIMI

  • wat a riff...bass riff on jimi

  • the mic has hendrix`s hairstyle

  • @WoaU3 Jimi was kinda shy about his vocals, maybe he felt more comfortable singin' to himself?

  • A genius. Nuff said.

  • no one even comes close...fckin hell

  • he plays the shit outta this flying V

  • Anyone who has ever disliked a hendrix video heart should stop.

  • Hardly anyone does things with the passion that he played guitar with anymore..

    Its sad.

  • So sad ,had he been alive,his musical catalog would have been filled with incredible songs,only Jimmy could write,we miss you buddy.

  • I was on that hill, on that day, under that sky...stage right...just a young guitbox player digging those slinky riffs. Maui, back in time, and now all three of them have gone to the other side...Thanks for stirring up some beautiful old memories and much love to whoever posted this.

  • @XKSS What about those UFO fly-by rumors. Do you remember anything?

  • @6402680 Jimi would go crazy, being SF fan! One can only imagine how would he play in that situation...it would be a gig of his life. :))

  • the nerf ball mic was due to the harsh wind blowing

  • What's wrong with these people who feel compelled to criticize greatness? My hope is that you would use people like Jimi to inspire yourself to do something great enough to be criticized for it . . .

  • I knew god played guitar and sang but i didnt know jesus played drums.

    guess st. peter is over there thumping out them bass lines too.

  • hendrix was as many fans as he had. if he had 1 millions fans he was 1 million people put together.

  • This man influenced millions of people around the world to make music. I find that pretty godly.

  • LIke only Jimi could do it.

  • 10 people don't like Jimi's nerf ball microphone.

  • Nothing more to say that hasn't been said except Jimi Hendrix is Rock nRoll

  • Mitch Mitchell @2:20 on...awesome!

  • Holy Shit! Never before nor after will there be another like Jimi Hendrix!

  • @imdoubtful Noel Redding live on the bass was dud. He just was not suitable for such groovy music.

  • I  like Dire straits but can you believe some people rate Mark Knopfler more highly than Hendrix?Hendrix was the guitar hero.

  • All three are now back together. Heaven must have a great band.

  • Comment removed

  • He's a bad mofoe--mm =mean mother

  • dolly dagger.. that's cool

  • Mitch is ON!

  • Even if any guitarist could ever come close to him, there's also the fact that they can't beat his songwriting qualities. Another great song.

  • Jesus himself plays the drum

  • @imdoubtful Yes, Buddy did come across as a good guy in all of the interviews I've seen with him. That's cool that you met him. Buddy did feel honored to play with Hendrix. I saw him talking about recording Rainy Day Dream Away, etc and he was saying how cool it was to record with him.

  • @imdoubtful Yes, I do think that Cox was better on the bass however; in my opinion Jimi's first three albums were his best in terms of material and production quality. I thought The Band of Gypsies with Cox was a tighter sounding unit and they recorded a several great songs on the live Fillmore album but I never liked the singing of Buddy Miles. So for me that was detrimental to the band. I would have loved to hear Cox play on the first three albums.

  • the last part sounds like a black keys riff lol

  • @mrmushbrain I think you mean the last part sounds like it influenced a black keys riff

  • Hendrix el no va más!!!!

  • HOLY CRAP!!! I didnt know Jesus played drums!!!!!

  • @MrBendorandoran a beard and long hair makes someone Jesus? you must be a person who labels everyone and everything in absolutes like the talking heads of the TV indoctrinators?

    I guess the dumbing down campaigns are working according to plan.

  • @ColdSlyther wow it was just a joke

  • Queria ter uma máquina do tempo também....

  • phenomenal--cool playin--love it

  • how is there a dislike on this video ?

  • jimi hendrix had it all ,playin, writin-voice,,moves --and even the right drummer

  • dolly what are you doin with that chain gun-?/ ah dolly no nooo---cool as FUK

  • jimmy --james-- and the flames

  • @rollingstopp and the blue flames....

  • I was born on September 18, 1991... Jimi Died September 18 1970.... He shall forever be a part of my guitar playing!

  • i saw Jimi in '69, at Madison Square Garden, Jimi was pissed off at the security and flash bulbs blinding him or maybe just having a bad day. but i am forever grateful for having seen him however brieflyl

  • thats as good as it gets!!!!!!!!!

  • i wish i could of seen him open for the monkees, that had to be a bizarre tour.....

  • DAMN SEXY GUITAR TONE ORGASM SEX FUCKING CUM

  • I saw the Experience in New Orleans Spring 1967. Noel's band Fat Matress did the warmup. Jimi still wasn't known so much in the US, though he was by then a superstar in Europe. There were only a couple of hundred of us there at his afternoon outdoors concert, but Jimi was incredibly nice! The Experience played for close to two hours. I will never forget it.

  • @vinegaroon1 sry but im born 1990 and i have to say that ... YOU LUCKY BASTARD!!!

  • Hendrix .

    U.S.A rulez. !!!! Seit 20 Jahren höre ich jeden Tag die Gitarre von Hendrix, so ein wundervoller Musiker, so ein wundervoller Gitarrist, seine Solo's sind Honig fürs mein Ohr!!

  • That's how you make a flying V fly.

  • Wow, Jimi playing an actual left handed Gibson Flying V guitar. To me Cox was such a better bass player than Redding. He played real bass parts as opposed to guitar parts like Noel Redding did and he was much tighter sounding with the drums. Don't get me wrong though, the stuff Noel did on the albums sounded fine for the songs. Although it makes me wonder what all of Jimi's albums would have sounded like with Cox instead.

  • @spyguys man thats ridiculous the original experience was not lacking because of cox' absence... no one even if they can make a overkilling of something can out do the creator of a thing period!

  • @ColdSlyther If you read my post you'll see that I said Noel played just fine on the albums. I was just wondering what the original band would have sounded like with Cox instead. I never said the albums were lacking.

  • @spyguys By most accounts Jimi played bass on the studio albums.

  • @FXPedaldotCom Hendrix played bass parts on some of the songs but Noel played a lot. When they were recording Elecrtic Ladyland Redding walked out of the session and Jimi played a bunch of the bass parts. When I watch and lsten to Noel play live, I can tell that he was adequate but not a great bass player. He tended to overplay and his tone was poor on a lot of live recordings. He was really a guitarist. As a whole though, the JH Experience was a fantastic band and Noel Redding did just fine.

  • @spyguys yeah noel redding basically was a fill in for bass, he was mainly a guitarist that wanted to play rhythm for jimi but was pushed down to bass.

  • @spyguys Redding overplayed a lot and had a poor sense of rhythm.He thought he was the star which was a delusion that  could not be tolerated by Jimi.

  • sick solo

  • my teacher from college snuck into a jimi hendrix concert. I'm so jealous!!!!

  • THIS IS AWESOME.

  • the good old days when they used rags on mics instead of stupid digital effects

  • That microphone is messing things up.. I cant hear his voice well.

  • @ClassicRockfan79 Probably for the best.

  • @JimmyPage97: I don´t believe in god. xD

  • @BestGoalkeeper4ever  feel sorry for your blind eyes and dear ears.

  • @tacticus2244, The footage is from the movie "Rainbow Bridge.". You can purchase it. I actually have owned this dvd for like 7 years....cheers...

  • Hendrix > God

  • @BestGoalkeeper4ever if you believe in god...wouldn't god have created hendrix?

  • so interested of seeing hendrix playing with flying V

  • @TheKSStratomaster he has played it permorming red house at isle of wight too, if im not wrong.

    check it out!

    peace love and music =)

  • @TheKSStratomaster howe now

  • @TheKSStratomaster Rite? I love seeing him with the SG... wait did he play one?

  • @NoLieIm51 You being ironic?

  • @Maluquitozito Nope I was jus not sure of myself

  • @NoLieIm51 Ok, he played with SG.

  • @NoLieIm51 hendrix had SG it was one his first guitars. its in some museum but i dont remeber what museum =) i would love to see live vid him playing SG too.

  • This is why i love the internet. How did you get this footage?That's really cool.

  • One of the few times that he's actually playing a TRUE left-handed guitar. Very cool

  • I HEARD Jimmy from City Park New Orleans (As a Baby) the freaking guitar was soooo loud I heard him playing from my residence across the city and asked "WhaTS thAT noise Mom?" and Moms told me "That's Jimi Hendrix"" I had no idea who it was then bUT i DO nowwwwww!!!!!

  • @shevampyre You remember when you were a baby?

  • @shevampyre why im noyt there?

  • gibson v has a slight strat kind of sound but it still has humbucker puckups Im not sure if there single coil or normal humbuckers jimis gibson sg is fucking cool too and if you notices all of the guitars that jimi plays have easy reach to those high frets like the sg and the flying V but jimi will always be the king of the stratocaster and the flying V angus yong is the king of the gibson sg

  • The wind is blastin guess thats why that huge foam peice is around the mic

  • flying V had the best sound, as far I can hear Hendrix's song. in particular blues sound is warm and rich. maybe overdrive and hard sound is best Strato because hi treble notes

  • @napomania it doesnt matter if hes playing a First Act through a Crate hes still gonna sound good .. point is it dont matter what he played its still Hendrix

  • Thank the lord for youtube, i can see this legend perform live in a year before i was even close to being conceived!! I know hes known for the strat, but damn he looks sexy with that flying V

    8)

  • i dont really like v guitars they sound good but i like the looks of the classic guitars like les paul and gretsch

  • Hahe that microphone is bigger than his hair hehe.

  • @nath909 even the mics had afros back then

  • As well as Hendrix's guitar talents, i wish i had his wardrobe. That motherfucker had style.

  • it was so windy,they cut-up..the foam out of there guitar cases...and put on the mics

  • Such a trip to see (and hear) Jimi playing a Flying V instead of a Strat. Awesome post.

  • somebody stuck a grapefruit on the mic

  • @FatTonyCologino

    The microphone is wrapped in foam, so that the wind wouldnt blow into it and make noise.

  • windy wasn't it ..!?

  • These guys. I still think Noel is totally under-rated. Anyone who can play their role that well is the man. I mean has anyone ever heard Noel play a bad note? And if you think you could get up on stage with Jimi = dreamin' bigtime. I know this is Billy Cox here for the smart guys out there. One thing we can agree on is this is the shiznit.

  • @RikJamezBich on the live " Hendrix in the west" LP noel Redding overplays horrendously on " red House".

    It is what  you don't play and how it fits with the drums which is what makes playing bass ' Hot'.

  • @taariqtaariq Ah, it's easy to trash Noel, but in the long run he did help Jimi introduce a fantasic sound to the planet on the original stuff and was part of a booming sonic invasion from the start. I always thought Noel screwed himself out of the band by not being tolerant about who exactly he was playing bass for, but the more I read the more I realize Jimi was looking for more solid rhythmic support no matter what Noel did. Ease up on Noel man he really got fucked by some pro vultures.

  • Jimi is a badass

  • GREAT THXXXXX

  • lol....he's singing into an icecream cone.

  • @posthumanhero yes but ne needed to avoid unpleasant electrical shocks....

  • One of the things I love about Jimi is the communication he had with his bandmates. Obviously, he did a lot of improv live and he'd be "in the zone", but he'd always give a nod to Mitch and Billy/Noel on certain changes so that they could contribute to whatever notes or dynamics he had in mind at the time.

  • If you really want to hear some really smooth and tight drumming by Mitch Mitchell listen to the early portion of the studio song "Third stone From The Sun".

  • 51st anniversary is also a pretty under rated song.

  • Love this song.

  • I created a folder called 'Bboy'; basically songs to break dance to. I think this would be a sick-ass song to breakdance to! nice solid beat!

    I also think that this song is TOTALLY UNDER-RATED! as is 'Wait Until Tomorrow'!!

  • Dude where did youy find all this fandamntastic video's? I was hooked on Jimi the first 2 notes of purple haze. first song i heard of his. I am honored to have my birthday on his. Nov 27th. Not the same year though by far. KEEP THIS GOOD STUFF COMING CAUSE I THOUGHT I HAD FOUND EVERYTHING AND THEN THIS..ANYONE WHO APPRECIATES THE BEGINNING OF TRUE HARD ROCK NEEDS THIS!!!!!

  • and THIS is why he is the greatest guitarist ever. no one played the blues like that.

  • my second favourite hendrix song

  • RIP Mitch Mitchell. I think he is one of the most under appreciated drummers ever. He had some pretty amazing licks.  2:26-2:30 is a perfect example of that but it's too bad his ride cymbal is kinda washed out in this recording.

  • @Citadel20 i noted the exact same part as incredible drumming. one of the best for sure.

  • altro che sanremo del mio cazzo!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Cool vid! How'd you get this? You rock!! Thanks for the post!

  • His microphone looks like a grapefruit.

  • His microphone looks like a grapefruit.

  • Thank you for posting this!

    Some guitarists in recent years have criticized Jimi for making "too much noise and not enough music" but of course he switched gears, as seen in this video, and just played straight out without making all the sound effects like he did at Monterrey. You can see clearly he had his own melodic sense. He was not just a "noise maker."

  • @egyptianpriest he was not just a noise maker he was a fucking genius !!! i never heard a song like this again jimi is uniqe

  • @kimmedavid That is exactly what I said!

  • The Flying V! Wow. RIP Jimi, today is 40 years to the day that we lost you

  • Damn. i really wish i had the oppurtunity to see hendrix live. too bad i was born in '91. Wow.

  • why... OH WHY was i born in '90

    T_T

  • @jantsik112 same here :( but hey we can still go to a concert from madonna ,rihanna ,timberlake ,eminem or justin bieber !

  • @kimmedavid hahaha!

  • @jantsik112 ....Iknow how ya feel...I was born in 58 and I started liostening to J,H, when I was 13, and was ready to go see him as soon as he came to my city, or state, and then he died....I still haven't gottin over it....I just mised him, and if I was granted one wish in life to see my hero, it would've been Jimmy over family members....

    Thanks for posting the song......cheers all......

  • this microphone is COTTON CANDY

  • @KRS1LEGEND no its the mikes afro lol

  • @KRS1LEGEND lol its a scoop of vanilla ice cream

  • On September 18, 1970: God took his 1st guitar lesson

    R.I.P. Hendrix 1942-1970

  • @SuperMetallica83 Cant believe Jimi has been gone for 40 years now!

  • I wish I had a time machine so I could travel back and see a Jimi Hendrix concert

  • @HITMAN6661000 you can,i built one ,its in my basement,ill send it to you in the post.

  • @HITMAN6661000 Just save up for a DeLorean lol

  • @HITMAN6661000 I'd see them all.

  • @HITMAN6661000, Agreed! I don't know if it's possible to meet up with these people again.

  • Why's he singing into a boxing glove ?

  • epic gig

  • p.s in closing maybe someday there will be a better ,comprehensive maui film open the vaults EH instead of the same rehashes!!!!!! also thanks for sharing this footage no matter your age you will be enlightend by this particular show

  • once again excellent performance of jimi ,why hasn't this already been commercialy released? I have seen this footage years ago through fellow collectors,also enough out takes and different angles exist of both shows . there could be enough for documentary janie hendrix will never wake up and give the fans what I consider essential jimi

  • The song history is quite interesting! A song about Hennys girl who after Jaggers finger was cut grabbed his hand and sucked the blood to stop the flow.

  • The Villnova Junction he begins to play at the end is baaaaaaaaad.

  • killer riff!!!

  • whats with the mic?

  • @hummer14455 Noise. Crappy mics in those days

    had to be muffled heavy for feedback. With that wind

    blowing there'd have been nothing but screech without

    it.

  • 3 questions...and listen..i saw hendrix twice

    once at the hollywood bowl..(which sucked cause we were so far)

    and the other time..about 30 feet away at Devonshire Downs in LA.

    a three day huge concert...

    who was in this line-up....

    what year an month

    and what the fuck is doing with that weird guitar..instead of his strat?

  • @CHUCKLOVES1969 Saw him at the Bowl too. Opened for the Mamas and the Papas! just after Monterey, in 1967. It was a lot like his set at Monterey. Wow.

    Most people talk about H's guitar playing, natch, the best ever...

    BUT...

    even if he was "just" a song writer and not a guitar player....he would be for the ages for his song writing alone. Right....????

    AND

    He was an awesome singer, unbeatable....Really!!

    AND performer!!!!

    That he had all 4 going on at that level is beyond comprehension

  • the 1 and only !!!!!!

    forever in our hearts ..

    Hendrix 4 ever and allways ...

  • the studio song..in the solo...when it shifts from left to right on stereo...MAN! hope to see you in the afterlife jimi, and then we smoke a joint or two

  • look how huge his hands are...how his right thumb covers practically a whole fret at a time...amazing.

  • Hendricks knew something thing none of the rest of us knew, in the late sixties, the guitar is a force to be recond with, capich...?

  • Jimi Hendriz knew how to combine rock and funk to a solid beat! Fusion.

  • happyman3188 said it perfectly!

  • EVERYONE knows who Jimi Hendrix is, people know the name more than they know The Beatles, I wonder what he would have thought about this?? People still loving him in 2010??... makes you think :)

  • your comparison is like apples to oranges ..both are great bands......

  • Oh no, I didn't mean that as a comparison :) The Beatles are my favourite band, I was just using that to show how famous he is, not to say that he was better than The Beatles :) You're right, both amazing!
