This clip starts with some comments from lawyer and music journalist Jack Batten, and then quickly changes to then-local news reporter Jack Webster, who traveled from Vancouver to Seattle during the Fall of 1968 to interview Jimi Hendrix' Grandmother Nora, who speaks of her recollections seeing Jimi play the Vancouver Pacific Coliseum on September 7th, 1968.

"And the way he was pickin' that guitar... ...I don't see how he could stand all that noise" and "I knew he was musical, but I didn't know he had THAT much music in him!" are my favorite quotes.

What a lovely woman, who's grandson turned out to be one of the most remarkable musical forces of the 20th century. Jimi's grandmother passed away at the age of 100 in 1984...

  • nice video, but the reporter fucked this interview up.

    could have been a pleasant thing, but he turned it sour by asking about drugs.

    such narrowmindedness \m/ (o.0) \m/

  • Lovely to see Jimi's Grandmother. Please have a look at the time I brought Jimi's Dad out onto the stage at my convention. Jimi Hendrix Convention.

  • great video! his grandmother is a sweet lady & I don't know why the "drug's had to be mentioned Thanx for uploading :))

  • lovely lady.

  • smart woman.

  • Just watching this you can see a little bit of her in Jimi. It's crazy. At least she got to see him play before he passed, and what he accomplished. Even though it was a short stay for her. Ha, it probably was a bit noisy. Mitch on the drums and all those Marshall Stacks in her face.

  • oh my goodness I love the wisdom and stories told by elderly people. She's so cute.

  • As a drug user, to an extent drugs can help you, but at a point any drug can become a crutch and be more of a nuisance than a help. As a person that has had friends in both categories i thing that this should have further consideration!

  • a beautiful soul...god bless her

  • What a badass grandma. Seemed like a nice lady.

  • you are calling Her narrow-minded? Drugs killed him she was right.

  • She was older than babe Ruth.christ
