[eddyb6666]

"JIMI , BUDDY AND BILLY COX , NEED I SAY MORE

[jonmerifield]

I don't know who was the better drummer or not, but I do know that I LOVE the music that the Band of Gypsies made, even compared to the Experience.

[KYJimmy35]

Not enough drummers do scat solos! Buddy was a legend, and one funky man. This is my favourite song ever and one of the funkiest riffs I've ever heard!

[Johnakalazyj]

THEY DON'T KNOW!!!!!!!

[tbeyma]

Doo do do do doo do do doodle ,Doo do do do doo do do doodle

Who knew?

[tbeyma]

This beat is hard to beat.

[tolenaars53]

We will listen to your comments

[daljin1991]

I hate the guy who always has to jinx great videos by mentioning the 0 dislikes.

[ronald8ish]

this music still sends chills up my spine!

[microfttt]

the exelence of the guitar 

[MrDockett67]

Digital underground must really know their stuff to sample this song! Remember the DU song "THE WAY WE SWING"?

[theSavageHippie]

I typed "Who Knows" the first video to popup was Avril Lavigne - fail. How come Jimi doesn't pop up as the first video!!

[Kelly14UK]

@theSavageHippie Same here. I typed in Who Knows KNOWING I'd get horseshit lol.

[emersonkid8850]

well glad some of u headbangers recognise some of the musical elements in this tune.. like scat singing ..;jazzie bluesie funk....but i kinda think its a bit of streeeaaaaaach to say that hip hop bunnie rabbits have any thing common with this....as a hometown boy once said....keep on rockin in the free world....

[xxfrankx1]

is it me or is something buddy miles a part of extremely great and highly soulful

[theturk9655]

1 idiot dosen't know...

[madtiger111]

I love Funkadelic, but Jimi invented funk rock. Right here.

[kawi1167]

This is just un-funk-ing believable....!! :) Love it

[krylon2009]

Gotta love the fucking scat solo. ;D



[smittydit]

[natacha1957]

Thanks very much.

Culte.

Natacha.

[thegerrie19561]

Happy Newyear first of all. December 30, 2011! This is one of the best.

[voodoochild53]

Once pete from the who said "Jimi Hendrix was bigger than LSD, and I think he was right!"

[owlcu]

This is beautiful, especially after listening to the radio today.

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

I well want to know what they were laughing about.

[BurgerGrabber]

yea seems like a good one hehe

[joemac92]

@ElvisLivesUpstairs

Jimi - we are soooooo hiiighh

Buddy - hhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaah XD

[douglasdesena]

Do caralho!

[NIN0MAD]

Awesome

[ElvisLA]

My first rock concert was Jimi Hendrix with Buddy Miles on drums. I'll never forget it as long as I live!

[RwehappyRudy]

@ElvisLA I can't even describe how jealous I am of this :P

[45caliper]

must here the second set of this concert, it will change your life. ya feel me.....

[lorenzopaganotti]

god, thank you for this. 

[46simonsen]

smassing god

[ItsMeMarioJr]

Lets not forget about Billy Cox on the bass now.........also a beast

[chardog406]

play this disc daily. need I say more

[whereamigoingnow]

props to Jimi on the improv and buddy on the improv orchestra

[jdman331]

I don't like Buddy's drumming have as much as Mitch's.

[donka1169]

From 7:10 until the close of the song is the best sound and flow between jimi and buddy. The closing jam is just phenomenal and is personally the best sounds I have heard a guitar and/or guitarist produce yet...hands down no arguments!!!

[lightxgrenade]

Oh man reading some of these comments made me feel so great. Like a lot of you, I still remember the exact moment I heard this and how blown away I was. My college experience wasn't like some of these teen movies but that moment at a party, my friend played this song for me...best party ever.

[SamaAndrea]

Oh, Jesus .

[mappieclead]

When I was 16 years old my friend made a copy of this and gave it to me. I think I carried that cassette tape for about 10 years...just in case I was in a place that that required some proper music. Just browsing thru my CD's and had to share. Long live Buddy Miles...one of the best drummers in the world. Thankfully, I shook his hand before he passed away...even got him to sign my cassette

[ontariobuds]

@mappieclead have you still got that tape?

[shortwatchtower]

@mappieclead there is also a cd of this whole performance

[mac163]

@mappieclead I hear ya dude! for over 30 years, since i was around 16 years old i had this recording in some form or another, in vinyl, cassete, cd, and now in download form. i also met Buddy back in summer of 2007 got to shake his hand too!. .Billy is the ¨soul¨ survivour! are you my twin brother? ; )

[multishades1]

@mappieclead When I was 16 I road America and Fucked it hard --John Bonham --be real ..............

[robertbicho]

Este musico era un marciano che ... genial la banda

[heraclestimao]

sem palavras ae este som... who knows do caralho fila da puta toca pra dedel a banda arrebenta tb.

[AClassOldie]

No one comes close to him. Period

[hihats]

buddy miles was a bad ass

[webbtain]

@hihats

On a scale of 1 to Mitch-Mitchell he was pretty low.

[zonwuka]

@webbtain and on a scale of 1 to buddy miles, mitch mitchell scored pretty low too...

they're two complete different drummers so different in style you can't compare them. you could say two sides of the medallion. like comparing brick walls to wooden floors, both are part of the building but not one is better than the other.

[WilfordBrimley22]

@webbtain There's something to be said for the fact that Hendrix played way better live with Buddy than with Mitch Mitchell. Mitchell was at times too crazy and lost time way too much. Buddy was incredibly solid and just a great drummer for hendrix to solo over.

[lewars1912]

I don't live in a hole. Only Burger grabbers live in holes; Everyone knows this.

[latinGrecordz]

I MET JIMI AT 14 IN A FREE CONCERT WITH JEFFERSON AIRPLANE WHO I MET LATER BACKSTAGE AS STARSHIP,ERICBURDEN ,GREG ALLMAN ,BRIAN AUGER,OLD PALZ THA TUBES,ECT I TOOK PIX FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE ...PEACE N LOVE PRESIDENT ALLSTARZ ENTERTAINMENT & FILMWERKZ !!

[kingnabil73]

[smittydit]

[lewars1912]

This would have been much better if Jimi had sellotaped Buddy Miles's mouth.

[heavylistener]

@lewars1912 nope

[ontariobuds]

@lewars1912 you posted the exact same quote on another video

/watch?v=vCuMhNHZtWc

[lewars1912]

@ontariobuds Yes, my comment, not a quote. It's for people like yourself who are interested in The Band of Gypsies and who otherwise might miss it.

[ontariobuds]

@lewars1912 what does that mean? 

[lewars1912]

@ontariobuds  What does what mean?

[lewars1912]

@BurgerGrabber This you just crawled out of your hole, lol.

[PartyBearCares]

Who Knows...if hendrix was alive Band of Gypsies could've been the greatest prog-funk-r&b band around...Who knows what other countless masterpieces they would've produced...who knows

[muthajeff]

an awesome tume that helped me get up an not go to school in the mornin'

[Quinotar7]

True indeed...

[robertmreynolds]

The Band of Gypsies was the best group Hendrix ever played in. Buddy Miles was stellar. Sorry Jimi. See you up there in the Purple Haze.
