Joni Mitchell Speaks About Jimi Hendrix

I've seen a shorter version of this interview in the past, but I just ran across this one and it's about twice as long. Joni is speaking about how Jimi recorded one of her shows in Ottawa, Canada. (Maybe the same night Jimi's Ottawa show was recorded. I've heard rumors that Jimi may have recorded his own Ottawa show) She also mentions how Jimi was concerned about moving on, from his Stage image as a wild performer to a more serious musician. I don't know exactly when this was recorded, but I'm assuming it's the early '70's,

hendrix here hendrix there... i have all his albums... but i'm quite sad and it irritates me that most people especially in continental europe and other places just know all the some old (and excellent) artists... beatles-doors-l.zepellin-hendr­ix-p.floyd-the who and the stones...always the same name are circulating... those records represent at best only the 20 % of the good music of that time...

A lot of people does not even know what they are losin'

Excellent Interview by the way :)

This is a beautiful interview. Such great insight. Imagine jimi with the big bang ambiance, man he could have created wonders. Just imagine jimi creating jazz standards of the future, or whatever his astro-mind could conjure up. There's no doubt in my mind if he would have lived out his full potential and lived on to achieve his lives old age legacy. He was the prophet of guitar, if you ask me. I would have loved to hear jimi branch out into other styles. That would have been something.

Jimi did move on. There was a session or 2 he did with jazz musicians and he hooked up with Les Paul who really loved Jimi (called him the wild man who bent the strings up an octave).

In his early career Jimi lit his guitar on fire, humped the amplifier (which were all his manager's idea) but he quit doing that and started evolving. He was so young, quite a few years under 30 if I'm not mistaken. His music was maturing, his stage persona maturing, and then....
