This could be one of the most awesome videos I've ever seen on YouTube. Thanks.

@AMGallegos thanks man I'm glad you enjoyed it. Happy New Year!

sorry to interrupt this vid but the edit fail is too epic to let go unnoticed

this version (fillmore show) needs to have ZERO interruptions as it may be the greatest electric guitar solo in history-- this version made miles davis want to jam with him and got him moving into the bitches brew area

must add a dislike to this

[IntuitiveMediums]

@2dum2getsocialism First off. dislike fair. but your skewed ego is a little out of line and just to clarify the original video still exists. go watch that. second, bitches brew Recording sessions took place at Columbia's 30th Street Studio over the course of three days in August 1969. This concert happened in December of 1969 and wasn't released until march of 1970. so get your order of operations correct before you spread your know-it-all purist opinion. Hendrix's spirit disapproves.

[2dum2getsocialism]

@IntuitiveMediums you approve of the edit at 1:24/:1:25?--- this was the first vid that came under my cursory search for machine gun and the 6 1/2 length should have clued me in so point taken; as far as the jimi/miles thing i said bitches brew "area" but meant "era" to fit the framework of the limited space of a youtube thingamabob; nevertheless, does jimi's spirit approve a cut in order to fit a video on one of his greatest recordings?-- dont answer; it's a good vid and is appropriate in 2011

[IntuitiveMediums]

@2dum2getsocialism thanks man. i appreciate the response. no harm no foul just freedom of speech. Your cool in my book and you obviously have good taste in music. as for the editing: This video was for an art school project and I wanted to see if people could feel the anti war song through the emotion of the guitar and not by the obviousness of the lyrics. the video editing is not so hot. It was my first run with final cut. Yet I like this version and i think the audio edits are in time Paz

@IntuitiveMediums also Agharta and Pangaea are the Miles Davisalbums with huge hendrix influence. Pete Cosey on Wah Guitar. Beautiful insanity.

@nonukia3000 When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.

Jimi Hendrix

NICE TO SEE YOU YOUNG FOLKS GETTING INTO THE GREATEST ARTIST THERE WILL EVER BE. Jimi was fantastic in all his concerts and did more in 4 years than BOB, JOHN AND MICK DID IN A 100 YEARS,Hey but that's what happens when you UPROOT A MAN FROM HIS HOME AND DUMP HIM IN SEATTLE AND GIVE HIM A GUITAR, ''URANUS ROCK'' WHERE HE DUETS WITH JIM MORRISON IS AS HAUNTING AND SPELLBOUNDING PIECE OF MUSIC EVER PRODUCED, Nine to the Universe is his best album, along with ELECTRIC LADYLAND, VOODOO CHILE BLUES V

[redcreem]

This song is about the machine guns the US troops were using on the streets of Watts,Detriot and all over the US, AGAINST HIS BLACK BROTHERS, as well as wars all over the world.It is about Jimi being halfcaste, like me, and growing up in a SOCIETY full of RACIST HATRED, LIKE THE USA. On the PLUS SIDE, IF THE USA was'nt so racist Jimi WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SO GOOD. It takes 300 years of SLAVERY TO PRODUCE THE GREATEST ARTIST TO WALK ON THIS PLANET, I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE I WOULD RATHER HA

SLAVERY

[d1sailer]

This song is about the Viet Nam war not The current conflicts, though coud be applied.

[swampfoxer]

Best live guitar solo ever!!!!!
