@manicmechanic21 yep, played the bass on this song, the piano on midnight lamp and kazoo (fwiw) in crosstown. This song was also done in one take. A rarity for hendrix who would usually do many, many takes for songs before being satisfied.
@manicmechanic21 I keep coming back to this song I first heard it in early 1988 when i bought a reissue of the double vinyl LP. The album is called Electric Ladyland but it's made up of sessions that include those that produced Axis: Bold As Love his previous LP running through to about September of 1968. He THEN began building the Electric Ladyland studio in New York with Eddie Kramer consulting.. it would not be completed until the fall of 1970 just before Jimi died.
@manicmechanic21 he did live to see it completed and did some work there... from wiki.." Hendrix spent only four weeks recording in Electric Lady, most of which took place while the final phases of construction were still ongoing. An opening party was held on August 26, 1970 The next day Hendrix created his last ever studio recording:"Slow Blues". He then boarded an Air India flight for London to perform at the Isle of Wight Festival, and died less than three weeks later."
@VauntedVizios Like Hendrix himself... his presence at Electric Lady was fleeting and ended too soon, but he did give the place his blessing and many great records were recorded there for decades. I can't remember which issue but I think Mix Magazine did a great article on it in the 1990s or was it Musician magazine! Check it out lots of great info in there by Eddie Kramer.
to stingrays- My all time favorite too!!! Best of everything in time , space and spirit. A friend gave me a 2nd edition Electric Ladyland album as a birthday present in the early 90's. She said it would worth a lot in a few more years. I had just bought a soon to be antiquated Dual turntable with a brand spankin' new diamond stylus. I opened the album up and I jam with the entire two discs every year around the 4th of July. I just doesn't get any better than this.
Jimi saw something that the rest of us could never grasp or understand but he was able to project his world through music and I think that is a rarity to find in this day and age. I hope to meet you in the next world Jimi, but until then, I'll enjoy the gifts that you left us and play your records till the sun rises in the East and after it has set in the West. I'll meet you in the next world Jimi.
Oh, man, I love this song. The opening riff has stayed with me 42 years. While stationed at an army missile base in 1970, and we dropped acid one weekend, and soared to the stars. This song lasted centuries, or a second, I can't remember which. But when I would come back from extra-galacticnesses, there it was again, beckoning me back to this strange planet. As Joe Cocker sang, "Once while traveling among the stars, this lovely planet caught my eye." - "...so down and down and down we go..."
@TravelerDiogenes I used to fly a helicopter with load speakers blasting Hendrix towards the commies I think it really drove them batty, man was that a lot of fun!
never ceases to relax me...sounds perfect on a summer night in January..a beautiful, masterpiece of a tune from that man named Hendrix. Nothing much happened in 1983.
I think everyone should just inhale and then koolaid smiles Chinese eyes and feasts forever! Reality is, war and hatred in all of its form is profitable and is the reason for ignorance, pain and suffering.
yeah...! Love the "watery" bass. Never recalls I have heard it ever again anywhere. One of this worlds first psy-ambient recording...lol still good and trippy...down and down and down and we go...:-)
Listen to this song while smoking salvia....i swear you will escape with with Jimi and Catherina away from lands so battered and torn .....Forever, forever ...hehehhee
It's just amazing how far ahead of his time he was !!! To come up with a song like this back then is out of this word ! Jimi wasn't human !!! He was so blessed n touched by GOD !!
Sadly, Jimi didn't realize that by 1983, the king of the buzzkills, Ronald 6 Wilson 6 Reagan 6, would be president, kids would be punk rock preppies in penny loafers and the top band would be Huey Lewis and the News. Dorkdom made a serious comeback.
@grissomc1218 Sorry I offended your people. I was just saying that anyone who was even half way cool or into classic rock thought that the 80s was kind of the beginning of the MTV era of horrible music that continues to this day. If you loved Whitney Houston and Midnight Oil and all the 80s garbage then you have awful taste and are probably a dork that resembles Michael Bolton. No offense.
@LedZeppelin420x It'd be a shame if you overlooked the 90s, lotta great music in that decade up til bout 97-98. I agree too, 78 is about the breaking point for that great era of music, but music was revived in the early-mid 90s. Totally dead since about 98 though unfortunately and it's only getting worse it seems.
You know what..that's just your opinion..think about classical music experts..or early jazz fans..they might say the same with this kind of music..be respectful and open-minded and the world will smile at you ;)
A tremendous song. Like with many of Jimi's tunes a lot of the ideas and techniques contained in this one were picked up by other musicians, so that the song may sound familiar even if you have never heard it before. The crescendo and chords at the end of the long interlude would do justice to Wagner.
It always reminds me of "Speaker for the Dead" written by Orson Scott Card. Greatest. Piece. Of. Art. Ever. Maybe it's not the longest song, but definitely the best. I've listened it so many times...
@Dns2080 Tripping out, I was just listening to this in itunes and I was going to come on here to point out that groove!! It's mind blowing shit. So dope..
Yeah Bro !!...WAR is the "Out of Style" and we are all about to understand we live in the forever of NOW...Hendrix knew this over 40 years ago when he recorded the tune at Criteria Studios in North Miami...where "Merman's" come to be !!!...THX
The English version of Electric Ladyland had naked women on the front. When I brought a copy back my mom threw it away. I retrieved it and still have it to this day. One of my favorite Hendrix songs. I'm glad I got to see him live a few times.
I think this is a brilliant metaphor for LSD. LSD is the "machine" taking them to an "underwater" realm of perception. I think this song is most definitely about taking LSD with the girl he loves and escaping this violent realm of existence where we face perpetual war, and seemingly endless crime.
My fave from Jimi! Can't believe all that he accomplished at the age of 27. R.I.P., Jimi, and thanks for some awesome tunes that have withstood the test of time!
I bought this LP when I was a teenager...a while ago, and I always loved this track ,Its was just wonderfully done ..the whole album also,everyonce in a while I take another listen to this .Its always ...wow this is really good ,and thats saying something after 40+ years....
Jimi should have stick to the studio recording from 1969 and he would probably live longer and give us more of this, because this is beautiful. He was trapped with his bussines deals and he had to play concerts all the time, and he hated it last 2 years.
I don't want to be one of those idiots who say that the people who dislike this video are gay or something but basicly if you don't like this song you dislike good music.
hendrix was here for a short time. something in the zone of march of 67 til nov 70 he did 900 live shows & 4 albums. he broadened everyones horizons musically & spiritually.
I love reading the different comments about this Genius.To say anything other than the fact that he's a genius would be a understatement. Songs such as this one are what blew the critics away when they called Hendrix anything less.
man i just wanna share this song with the world, to show how much sould jimi had, liek in my english class we were discussing facts and opinions and i said jimi hendrix id the best guitar player of all time and everybody was like what? he sucks, and i was like thats the difference between jimi hendrix and all this new shit jimi didnt give a shit about money man, he played music the way music was intended, from the soul
@LedZeppelin420x People who say Jimi suck's have 0 knowledge of music and how 2 seconds of any solo Jimi, or page played in a guitar rapes what people like know shredding which is just fast speed repetitions.
@LedZeppelin420x Before you say Jimi was the best guitarist I think you should listen to a little John McLaughlin. They even played together. Might be why Jimi isn't with us any longer. Maybe Jimi wasn't comfortable with the fact that he wasn't the best, and had no hopes of ever attaining the title either!
@1pcfred thats not judging thats stating the obvious, and i wasnt trying to offend you, but if you ask me jimi thought he was the best and got cocky, and how does his death have anything to do with what he thought
@LedZeppelin420x Where are you getting your facts from? Cite your sources or I call unsubstantiated opinion for what it is. Why would I ask you? Did you know Mr. Hendrix personally? For your information mental state has a lot to do with what happens to individuals. Or will your next wild claim be that Hendrix was completely emotionally stable at the time leading up to his early demise?
There is no such the " Best Guitarist ", it is all about style and feeling. The guitar is an instrument used to express feelings and ideas, I have heard thousands of guitar players and have played with hundreds, it is not about who plays more notes per second or who knows more chord variations, it's about feelings and creative expression. I agree that John McLaughlin has good fingers and chops, but if you ask me whose style I like better and who I prefer to listen to, it would be Jimi Hendrix.
@ajuki7 most people wouldnt get em, most people would just think aw hes just a drug head, but only somebody who smokes pot, and or takes acid can realy grasp the meaning
@1pcfred no, because he was truly a one of a kind, you will never hear anyone else with as a creative thinking mind as jimi, nor the passion and ear for music
@LedZeppelin420x oh there are plenty as creative etc, just not the same ways. He took interest in Miles Davis, Frank Zappa and others. Before he went to UK when he was basically attempting to copy Buddy Guy with "Jimmy James & the Blue Flames" he was not much more than ambitious, once he was introduced to all those different ideas in that era and his confidence grew, he exploded! He turned into a mad genus and made it all his own. THAT I think is what makes him so special. He grew so fast!
@LedZeppelin420x If Hendrix was as creative as you say he was how come he covered so many songs others wrote? Hey Joe, Red House, All Along the Watchtower, Let the Good Times Roll along with other covers he regularly did live like Johnny B Goode?
@1pcfred Red House was NOT a cover. And the songs he covered were WAY better than the original. Even Bob Dylan said All Along the Watchtower was meant to be played by Jimi. His version was better in its own way
@wootlegion OK so I was mistaken about Red House being an old blues standard cover. It might as well have been. Better hardly equals original as others have claimed. Jimi himself knew his time had come and gone. He was a few hit wonder with no real depth to back up his earlier successes.
@wootlegion You better get your spider sense checked out there Peter Parker because I own every Jimi Hendrix album he ever made, plus the ones released after his death (unfortunately) and a lot of bootlegs as well. So its not like I hate the guy, I'm just not going to kid myself he was something he wasn't. Oh yeah I have all of the videos he is in too. Man Rainbow Bridge sucks!
@1pcfred you just dont know shit about music, i understand people have their own opinions, but if you dont know shit about jimi hendrix, then dont come on his videos startin shit because you cant see his creativity, thats your loss not mine, you have no arguement
@LedZeppelin420x How old are you? There is a good chance I've heard and seen everything recorded of Hendrix before you were even born. A fair chance I read his biography before that momentous day when you graced the world with your presence as well. About all I haven't done was party with the guy personally, I missed that by a couple of years. So if I don't know shit about Hendrix it is likely you don't know piss about him either.
Eddie Kramer is the biggest freeloader since Ringo Starr!!!!!!

I love reading the different comments about this Genius.To say anything other than the fact that he's a genius would be a understatement. Songs such as this one are what blew the critics away when they called Hendrix anything less.

@LedZeppelin420x People who say Jimi suck's have 0 knowledge of music and how 2 seconds of any solo Jimi, or page played in a guitar rapes what people like know shredding which is just fast speed repetitions.

@LedZeppelin420x Before you say Jimi was the best guitarist I think you should listen to a little John McLaughlin. They even played together. Might be why Jimi isn't with us any longer. Maybe Jimi wasn't comfortable with the fact that he wasn't the best, and had no hopes of ever attaining the title either!

@1pcfred thats not judging thats stating the obvious, and i wasnt trying to offend you, but if you ask me jimi thought he was the best and got cocky, and how does his death have anything to do with what he thought
LedZeppelin420x 4 months ago
@LedZeppelin420x Where are you getting your facts from? Cite your sources or I call unsubstantiated opinion for what it is. Why would I ask you? Did you know Mr. Hendrix personally? For your information mental state has a lot to do with what happens to individuals. Or will your next wild claim be that Hendrix was completely emotionally stable at the time leading up to his early demise?

There is no such the " Best Guitarist ", it is all about style and feeling. The guitar is an instrument used to express feelings and ideas, I have heard thousands of guitar players and have played with hundreds, it is not about who plays more notes per second or who knows more chord variations, it's about feelings and creative expression. I agree that John McLaughlin has good fingers and chops, but if you ask me whose style I like better and who I prefer to listen to, it would be Jimi Hendrix.

@1pcfred no, because he was truly a one of a kind, you will never hear anyone else with as a creative thinking mind as jimi, nor the passion and ear for music
LedZeppelin420x 3 months ago
@LedZeppelin420x oh there are plenty as creative etc, just not the same ways. He took interest in Miles Davis, Frank Zappa and others. Before he went to UK when he was basically attempting to copy Buddy Guy with "Jimmy James & the Blue Flames" he was not much more than ambitious, once he was introduced to all those different ideas in that era and his confidence grew, he exploded! He turned into a mad genus and made it all his own. THAT I think is what makes him so special. He grew so fast!

@LedZeppelin420x If Hendrix was as creative as you say he was how come he covered so many songs others wrote? Hey Joe, Red House, All Along the Watchtower, Let the Good Times Roll along with other covers he regularly did live like Johnny B Goode?
1pcfred 3 months ago
@1pcfred 1. Red House wasnt a cover 2. yea he did cover some songs but he put his own feel to it
LedZeppelin420x 3 months ago
@1pcfred Red House was NOT a cover. And the songs he covered were WAY better than the original. Even Bob Dylan said All Along the Watchtower was meant to be played by Jimi. His version was better in its own way

@wootlegion OK so I was mistaken about Red House being an old blues standard cover. It might as well have been. Better hardly equals original as others have claimed. Jimi himself knew his time had come and gone. He was a few hit wonder with no real depth to back up his earlier successes.
1pcfred 3 months ago
@1pcfred But of course, he had a world known career of what?... 4, 5 years?

@wootlegion You better get your spider sense checked out there Peter Parker because I own every Jimi Hendrix album he ever made, plus the ones released after his death (unfortunately) and a lot of bootlegs as well. So its not like I hate the guy, I'm just not going to kid myself he was something he wasn't. Oh yeah I have all of the videos he is in too. Man Rainbow Bridge sucks!

LedZeppelin420x 3 months ago
@LedZeppelin420x How old are you? There is a good chance I've heard and seen everything recorded of Hendrix before you were even born. A fair chance I read his biography before that momentous day when you graced the world with your presence as well. About all I haven't done was party with the guy personally, I missed that by a couple of years. So if I don't know shit about Hendrix it is likely you don't know piss about him either.
