    Eddie Kramer playing the board like an instrument, what a wizard. His work stands the test of time.

    Jimi and Eddie were so lucky to have found each other. Imagine what "First Rays" would have sounded like if all the tracks were as fully formed as this and the handful of others that were "finished". Imagine, then, how Eddie would have worked with Jimi on integrating orchestral elements and choirs, as the latter wanted for his next (?) project. Still, at least we have the legacy of what Jimi did record. Thanks, Jimi. And, thank you, too, Eddie.

    I can't believe it, I used to have a knackered old audio cassette with this breakdown of Dolly Dagger on, and would play it to anyone and everyone, listen to all that backing track work, foot stomping and vocals by his mates the Ghetto Fighters. I never thought I would hear it again, thanks a million to the uploader

    I heard the album First rays of the new rising sun for the first time in 1998 traveling from Monaco to Barcelona by car and it was a perfect experience.
    That landscape and music made me think i was in 60s.

    Eddie was like George Martin was to The Beatles with Jimi. He turned the music into artwork.

    • @reubensolly2237
      @reubensolly2237 7 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      What happened? The word "classic rock" was invented. And now every body just wants to sound like "the good o'l days" and are so busy remembering the past they forgot about both today and the future. One forgets that music like this was NOT "classic" back then. That stuff was the CUTTING EDGE at the time. People need to stop pointing their wrinkly old fingers at pop, hip hop or EDM because they have nothing to do with it. Pop has been around for just as long as rock and metal has. It's all just poorly made excuses and scapegoats for the fact that rock stopped pushing itself forward, started chasing its tail, and got left behind.

    One part rarely mentioned is Billy Cox’s role in the creation of this song. His morning practice routine which included playing sort of the Big Ben bell chimes caught Hendrix’s attention and they worked on what became the Dolly Dagger intro together

      @peterchoe 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      So you are saying they played the song sharp in the studio? In this clip the key is in around B. The song is in Bflat, as evidenced by footage and audio recordings of him playing it in Maui (his hands are in the B position, tuned down a half step as usual). This was shot and recorded for the 1973 Hendrix documentary. The original tapes are fine, and Eddie Kramer is not at fault. The recorded audio from when Eddie was filmed is playing too fast. Also, just because you have the original recordings doesn't mean that you will be playing in the right pitch if you are playing analogue tape. The speed of the tape playback affects pitch. All that the recording consists of is patterns on magnetic film. What I am saying is that when they filmed the scene they didn't do the audio exactly right. Please. Think before you reply.

    • @peterchoe
      @peterchoe 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      We do know. Watch the film of Hendrix in Maui. He plays it in Bflat, and it sounds exactly like the recording as mastered on the Cry of Love. Are you saying that they screwed up the tape speed on The Cry of Love and every compilation album which has this song? Come on, man.
