[HWDFL12]

Dude Mitch gets down... Lol Only one word... Hendrix

[Bravosphere]

7:35  tongue JOB! hey Girls!

[romienomie]

I would almost rather listen to this guy play than have sex......almost! lol.

[WadahGadain]

I love the internet ! :) 

[jackulrich]

@slamiam.... are German kids.......strange audience

[VonTwist]

Those kids in the audience don't know what hit 'em!

[grenderer94]

I'll tell you who NEVER underestimated Mitch Mitchell..... any drummer who

put on headphones & tried to copy his percussive genius (and you all know who you are out there:). Yeah, WE know how great he was!

[MarkA15]

AOL brought me here

[Stoned1959]

3 classic songs from Jimi Hendrix & good Quality,-very nice !

[NicoMalcolm]

This is actually the guitar Jimi Hendrix burned and smashed at Monterey Pop Festival later the same year.

[lamaquinadeltiemp0]

nooooo por dios, miren a toda esa gente formal, dios! ver al negro en esos tiempos era ver al futuro, no se daban una idea jajaja

[anonymouslolxD]

The crowd have no idea how to dance, they've just never heard anything quite like it. In the end most of them just stand still in awe and utter disbelief.

[rodentcafeteria]

@anonymouslolxD No one in the world had ever heard anything like Jimi Hendrix before. Look at the crowd when he played Monterey in the late 60's. They were spellbound - and who wouldn't be?

[allekans]

bass not tuned?!

[VMATT500C]

Muppet1950, Fuckin Great, Thanks

[pbstratocaster]

Great honest live-performance. Jimi´s face expression halfway through "Purple Haze" and especially during "Hey Joe", shows that he is happy with total sound output.

[pepuli]

worst filmmaking ever

[bronncohowie]

WOW !!  Jimmy killin it !!

[sandobg]

Shit! People didn't even know how to react to Jimi's music. Check out the dance moves at 5:43. I bet they were realizing that these are not the appropriate moves, but just didn't even know what else to do...Jimi just blew their minds, man....It ain't Beatles, people (nothing against them though)...

[Dbalx]

hahahha look at the audience!!!!

[MB280E]

Already in 1967 Hendrix was an outstanding performer...no wonder Clapton got scared to death and refused to pick up a Strat for years :))

[guitar19904]

@MB280E

clapton is a briliant guitarist jimi would of even agreed. i felt bad for clapton, the guitar can be such a harsh mistress at times.

[Jartny]

the people filming this suck. why are all the shots zoomed in beyond fucking belief?

[Muppet1950]

@Jartny.............This was 1967 and everything was as new and fresh as the music!!!!! [A different age.......No MTV generation]

[Jartny]

@Muppet1950 True, but they should have known better lol. Awesome performance by Jimi though

[bassangler33880]

How true. Check out any video done in those days. The camera men were used to shooting sports. Music brought on a whole new ballgame.

[abaneyone]

@Muppet1950 It was much better then!

[TLU79]

@Jartny the average viewer didnt have a 40' screen in 1967...

[twoslices]

@Jartny Yeah,dont it piss you off!

[11Kralle]

@Jartny

Where can I sign? Non-musicians should not be allowed to film music-performances by law! There is no shot of the fretboard-hand, but always the strumming!!! Those camera-guys are the same idiots, who avoid to take a shot of the number-girls during a boxing fight...

[MrBAUM911]

@11Kralle That´s the point! Idiots whereever you look! Keep smiling...

[AustralianFuzztone]

Wow thanks- my first viewing. The semitone lower tuning in the low E in Purple Haze sounds so rubbery and fat. Frustrating that they choose not to show Hendrix in a wide shot much. May 18, exactly a month before Monterey. Set order 'Stone Free' 'hey Joe' Purple Haze' ending with amplifier attack by Jimi. Mitch plays a borrowed kit and other gear is also borrowed. Info from Tony Brown's excellent book JH Concert Files.

[buzonperiodista]

Sounds tons better when Jimi turns off the Overdrive!

[blkn3ko]

Jimi's not dead, God just asked for guitar lessons!

[tiborvivi]

all 3 dead now.

[TheWhitealbum22]

I agree that Mitch Mitchell is an incredibly underrated drummer, but you have to understand that Noel Redding is also an incredibly sensible bassist. Plus, his glasses are sick.

[MrMoggyman]

Mitch was a hell of a talented drummer. Called 'Jimi's man', both he and Hendrix were musically bonded. They could read each other so well that Mitch could even predict Jimi's requirement. Take a look at Jimi Hendrix Lulu Show Full Version. The slow down is just unbelievable. Just listen to Manic Depression. These two were made for each other musically.

[archaiclonelystar]

GOD!

[spyguys]

I like how it says ""Mick" on Mitch's bass drum. Not sure why people think the audience was so "strange" in this video. They look like a bunch of typical German kids on a dance show from 1967. They probably thought Jimi, Mitch and Noel looked strange back then.

[DonARen1950]

@spyguys Mitch was known to be real fussy about his drum set-up, but the gig was the main thing with Mitch. If he had to play somebody else's equipment, he'd make do. While Jimi had his preferences for Strats, Jimi could pick-up any brand guitar, right-handed, left-handed, 12-string, strings strung up-side down, etc.. He hated malfunctions, and there is one right near the beginning--watch him give a quick frown.

[KeiranPearce]

10:32 'AND THE CROWD WENT WILD' If only they knew what they were witnessing

[1952FMS]

IMOP THE MOST FLUID DRUMMER EVER!! Anyone who could rum with Jimi had to be Thx for posting

[OoyamatsukamioO]

he is still the living legend that will rock ur screen off! RIP jimi handrix the legend!

[kimario81]

THIS Is the Heavies version The JHE ever did

[Menikmatik]

strange audience indeed.

[andreano2]

scuse me while i kiss this guy

[bluesyjazzcat31]

You better believe it, baby!

[bluesyjazzcat31]

I love Mitch's drumming. He had a killer groove.

[thebigsuperbeatle]

I say he gave up the Marshall's for this show and plugged into the incredible ECHOLETTE amps.

[theonlyantony]

Great! Jimi says 'Scuse me while I kiss THIS GUY' as a joke! Love it ! Bet it was inspired by a Noel or Mitch pisstake.

[theonlyantony]

@theonlyantony at 3:34

[rpriest500]

Whomever mixed this almost cut Jimi's guitar out. I visualize some uncool dude on the board going, "Turn it down. He's too damn loud. Nobody will like that."

[4everfrankenstein]

Don'cha just love the camera men from these old rock TV shows- they have no clue what to cover when there's no vocals, which accounts for lots of footage of drummers holding down the beat during a fiery guitar solo....still I always love watching Jimi, Mitch and Noel from back in the day....

[klv400]

A GREAT VID!!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!!!

[rp61wasinnocentok]

These tracks have been edited in the wrong order,

you can see the faded segue edits inbetween songs.

01 Stone Free

02 Hey Joe

03 Purple Haze

[klv400]

@rp61wasinnocentok just injoy the VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hithatrollz]

I love seeing Mitch rockin the traditional grip, he's credited as being the main inovator of fusion drumming, but I still think he's vastly underrated when compared to the likes of Bonham and Baker. Seriously, he was playing the rudiments like nobudies business, and I hate it when people rub him off by saying Moon, Baker, or Bonham was the best rock drummer of all time. Though of course it's all personal preference, Mitch usually seems to get the short end of the stick.

[gingerb91]

@hithatrollz I could not have said that better myself, man! Stole the words right outta my mouth!

[chazmology]

@hithatrollz Been There....Mitch is...was..the best innovative drummer of the time. I was there for it all...still am!

[PBANDSNOW]

@hithatrollz Thats true. Without Hendrix, we wouldn't have had all the great stuff we've had throughout the years, and without Mitch, Hendrix wouldn't have been nearly as good as he was.

[TehGav]

@hithatrollz He's playing match grip here.

[GeneralEisenhower]

how did he make this guitar sound ?!

[Thejbirdy]

How can this kids be more bored? Their excitement is just about dead.

[RastafariPoet]

Not enough gain for Jimi lol

[RogerTurk]

surreal audience in a fuzzy sound... great vid

[MannyMUC]

Jimi and band look quite relaxed and happy in this - probably still the time before to much drugs took over

[RastafariPoet]

Drugs were hardly the problem. Being overbooked was.

[Thejbirdy]

@RastafariPoet  Amen brother, they practically buried him from the stress of the road.

But drugs don't help your health either.

[RastafariPoet]

@Thejbirdy

Yeah definitely, those two things don't usually mix well lol

[Thejbirdy]

@RastafariPoet Good to know today's rock stars try not to burn out and go over the limit. Sometimes moderation works too if you do go down that road.

Heroin should be outlawed completely, a suck ass drug.

[TheMullerFan]

@RastafariPoet and gear exploding

[XEpikurX]

@RastafariPoet I think you're right!

[henrysgigs1]

We showed this on C4 (UK) TV's THE WHITE ROOM twice to much adulation in 1996. I found the 2 inch masters now rep'd out of Hamburg.

[codehendrix]

noel is out of tune so badly...

[floofynut]

@codehendrix it's actually jimi.
