@FrankieBag0donuts he was high as a kit on LSD. Remember, back then we did not have electronic tuners. We used a piano or tuning with a tuning fork. We used memory or what I just told you. He was high. Listen to early ole blues players out of tune.
That little lick pretty much personifies Hendrix. As soon as he'd think of something it would instantaneously be translated to the guitar very fluidly. He was one with the instrument. You don't see that level of connection very often.
I love the "whoa, am I ever out of tune" smile he gives Mitch as he gets his low 'e' back where it belongs, then throws in "I Feel Fine" just because. So cool!

It's between this and AC/DC's 1977 BBC session that takes that top spot. Both are totally different styles from each other and are recorded in separate decades of the 20th century, but both of their sets are equally as important as the others because of the pinical role they played towards the success they achieved globally
Yes, the intro by the television presenter alluded to- let's hear another pleasant pop tune- and then Hendrix takes everyone's ears out to the rings of Saturn.
Hendrix plays with his teeth. Hendrix plays one-handed. Hendrix just casually incorporates a quick Beatles riff like it's always meant to be there. Hendrix detunes and retunes a string as part of a song. Hendrix goes off-script with the Cream thing, which was unprecedented at the time. And Lulu? "That was really nice"...
Lulu was very popular (with the BBC management) at the time. The BBC was old-fashioned and conservative. Years later, this video was accidentally found while cleaning tapes. Jimi's name wasn't even on it. Thank god for this.
When they suggested he went to England. He said “ Do they have marshal amps over there?” ( he thought he had to bring them with him) Meanwhile Jim Marshal pacing up & down waiting to meet him in London! Just a little trivia :)
Lulu's show - well-known (middle-of-the-road) pop-person doing a half-hour on a Saturday tea-time - was a successful tv formula at the time and Jimi had appeared on a similar programme back in 1968 ; the Experience played an early version of Voodoo Chile on Rediffusion's 'It Must be Dusty' . On that show, Jimi accompanied Dusty Springfield (champion of the Ready Steady Go Motown Special, so quietly a bit of a rebel - on top of the, ahem, other things) on a knock-about version of 'Mockingbird' (you can TH-cam the little scrap of footage that survives of that) - so Lulu's people probably thought this would be more of the same. Now, Lulu was married to Bee Gee Maurice Gibb at the time, so she wasn't entirely naive.. But there is the tv image to look after and at the time, light entertainment people were under contract, basically an agreement to appear in whatever's put in front of you - with a definite aspect of being expected to do as you're told. The BBC owned the right to screen the Eurovision Song Contest and after this show, oh look, Lulu is announced as the UK's representative in the Contest for 1969, with all future editions of the 'Happening' show becoming little more a contemporary version of A Song For Europe'.
Listen to this only on high quality headphones or speakers. Surely the most significant and seminal musical moment broadcast on the BBC? How can 3 musicians make such an amazing sound?
This is the same type of thing they played at the Bag O' Nails to Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, John Lennon, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page et al.
Agreed. Listening to rock n roll on a pair of ear buds just does not cut it. the best way is with a serious hi fi system. big speakers that can move some air.
@@coldacre You. obviously, don't know much about drumming, or drummers, for that matter. John "Mitch" Mittchell was taught by jazz drummer Jim Marshall (yes, that Jim Marshall) and was recognized as one of the best. I hope you're not a musician, cause, if you are, you're a damn dumb one.
@@coldacre , meeeeeeeh Mitch Mitchel is not just o.k. he did some fantastic playing , you can even hear Jeff Beck raving about Mitchel how well he complimented Hendrix
4:35 The control he had over feedback was simply unbelievable, specially for a live tv performance. He was also tuning his guitar while doing all that haha
The funny thing is a lot of that feedback was created by simply having the fuzz face and wah on at the same time. When both are on at the same time, and you go heel down on the wah, itll start to squeal, even with the guitar volume all the way down, and as you go further heel down on the wah, that squeal turns into a howl. If you watch closely, you can see he's rocking the wah up and down while doing that bonkers intro. It's caused by the massive impedance mismatch between those 2 pedals.
Comets and shooting stars are from space and our universe while the tall skinny big handed black guitar God was from some beyond plain of the God's working, comets, shooting stars and such are far more common phenomenon, this is a one of a kind universal singularity demonstrated by the God's Hendrix a truly once in a universe's lifetime experience to behold witness to.
like a comet ...comes around again, but not quite the same. Leaving streams of flaming dust for others to enjoy. But make no mistake... Oh, here he is again
5:18-5:47 That little moment actually enlightens how good Noel and Mitch really were, Jimi was a roller coaster and you could almost never follow him and yet both the bass and drums complement the guitar in just right way, at the right moments, and with the right amount The Experience truly was a unique band
Someone invented the electric guitar, then Jimi was sent from the higher dimensions to show us how to play it, blow our minds & teach us what humanity can achieve when it works together. A pure creative genius….. “Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music” Hendrix 🎵
At 7:56 you can see him kinda wave off the stage hand who was ripping his hair out at this point because obviously they weren't supposed to do this! So Cream at just announced their breakup the same day (January 1, 1969), and he said later on that he felt silly singing with Lulu, which is why he just abruptly went into Sunshine of Your Love. But if you listen from 1968 onwards he frequently threw that song into his setlist. And yeah it got him banned from the BBC, but it was worth it!
Explosive opening to Hey Joe. Then he abandons it mid solo to say he's going to pay tribute to Cream and lauches into Sunshine of your love which grinds to a halt after the opening riffs. Think he was too much of a free spirit by this time for the Bee-Bee-Sea.
@@wilbertkendal2524 Or only a fraction of it. He played the full song elsewhere. Another comment here says Jimi was being hassled by BBC staff on set during this performance. Probably accounts for his sour attitude during this appearance.
@@yourewrongabouteverything when one plays an old Strat the way he did, especially with the whammy bar, it will always be out of tune no matter who is playing it, your ignorance is on display.
Without a doubt, the greatest and most influential! Just think, some kid somewhere in the world is picking up a guitar for the first time because of Jimi, not a bad legacy for someone who was only in the public eye for 4 years.
Jimi in full command on this evening. Noel smiling and playing near the end of his experience with The experience, Mitch being his usual consistent self. Really a perfect performance and a time capsule for future generations.
There is and never will be anyone like Hendrix. He has been voted the greatest guitar player of all time for a reason. An innovator for modern guitar. He is divebombing on the whammy, years before it was even a thing!
Jimi taught the world that the guitar is an instrument for self expression. There is no sense trying to master it. Playing the blues is the greatest gift he could give to humanity.
most amazing performance ever....its so perfect....can't believe his fame only lasted three years.....a golden comet that passed through earth too quickly
Jimi never performed in Pittsburgh, my hometown. I was in tenth grade when Hendrix died in September 1970 and would not have been permitted by my parents to travel to see The Experience.
at 5:37 he realizes that his low E string has slightly detuned from the huge bend he just did and at 5:55 fixes it and it even sounds cool when he does. So good
I don't really follow very many drummers. But I admit that Mitch Mitchell was the one guy who made me pay close attention to the drummer. His style is solid and very distinct.
Jimi and the Experience giving Lulu an experience. A great performance by the band, just having fun at the end. Oh to be one of lucky ones in the audience.
Man Hendrix was something else! I saw him going wild on the whammy, and I was thinking man that is DEFINITELY going out of tune, and I don't think he's going to jam a tuning pedal anytime soon. But instead you can see him focusing intensely, listening to himself and his band, and adjust his playing. He pulls back sonically and a controls his dynamics within the band, letting the rest of the band full in the space he's emptying. He avoids playing chords using the higher strings, does solos/licks where he can bend to the right note, and even does some on the fly tuning by ear while playing live(?) on the BBC! And then he calls his own song rubbish and instead gives props to some local musicians! Talk about loose! What a fucking legend.
Love the glimpses and smiles between the three of them, they had their problems behind the scene at this point, but like any great band, they still delivered 100% when it was time to play
He has the strings set up correctly, for those who didnt know he could play regardless of how his guitar was strung. A true legend and the greatest guitarist of all time.
he was like an interstellar object, just flew by earth on his way to a galaxy far far away. he mastered the instrument completely to the point that the guitar in his hands looks like a clunky piece of wood which is just needed to bring down his visionary mind into this earthly reality
That jolly good smile when he was adjusting the E string during the song Hey Joe says it all. May his gentle soul continue to rest in eternal peace & glory.
For those watching this that are musicians, casual or professional, we know he’s not really playing the instrument, it’s more of an emotive transcendence that flows from another dimension. A singular talent.
@@chrisharrohe's not saying literally he means, well it's hard to describe if you haven't experienced it but when you're playing and you get in almost a trance, it will feel like you aren't "playing", your not thinking about what your playing it just kind of comes out and it's an incredible feeling, It's a "if you know, you know" type of thing.
Jimi was on the Lulu Show, supposedly, there was an agreement worked out that she would do a duet with him, this was what prompted his abrupt stop with Hey Joe and quickly jump into his Cream dedication, he was waving off Lulu, who was trying to make her way to the stage.
A very self deprecating man with zero arrogance, how much all those crappers…sorry I mean rappers could learn from him! Imagine being so unaware of how off putting excessive arrogance is, especially when they haven’t got even 2% of Jimi’s talent….what a world we live in hey!! Yeah we all want to know about your gold chains, Mercedes, Rolls Royce while you shake wads of cash around! Can’t think of anyone I’d like less to be in that position….and people with nothing in life cheering these idiots on, sad to see people have no clue what garbage so called music marketing is ramming down their throats, hopefully one day soon it’ll disintegrate but there are a couple of generations that really need a lesson in what talent is….and what it absolutely isn’t!! Rant over 😂
He even slows down at the end just to wind them up more! Some jobsworth totally unaware they had a musical alchemist in the studio going overtime for 60 seconds who would only be with us for another year or so and they could get back to all their efficiently synchronized cabaret acts for the next 60 years.
Jimi On another plannet no wonder eric clapton & cream were blown away by Jimmies unique and powerful sound Never been anything like it or ever will Rock Gods.
The days before floyd rose type tremelos and such but Hendrix always handled the tuning problems well. Thanks so much for posting this Hendrix was and still is one of my all time favorites and biggest influences. Way ahead of his time.
Yep! I always notice the way Noel keeps up with Jimi but never competes with him. With Mitch, he made the perfect rhythm section for the JHE. The energy was fabulous!
@Christiaan Burgel yes I saw jimi at the festival of flower children at Woburn Abbey England I think it was 68 before jimi became a superstar and I got really close to the stage he was really on form as was noel and mitch it was just before electric lady came out and the first time I heard voodoo chil slight return and for me started a 55 year love affair with the guitar after the gig he was casually walking around the festival site with a couple of girls and I managed to shake his hand I will never forget that magical summers evening the only other time I saw him was the Isle of Wight festival in 1970
@Christiaan Burgel the Isle of Wight festival was a different trip the first time I saw jimi there was maybe 500 people there this was 750000 people and some of the best bands in the world over a week of music and partying with jimi headlining he hit the stage about 3 in the morning the equipment played up but he still played a blazing set have you seen the hendrix gig at the Albert Hall london
I remember watching this live performance at the time. I think it was on a Saturday evening. The BBC probably had another programme due to start but fortunately some engineer must have decided to keep recording it even after the broadcast ended.

And here we are 50 years later celebrating the life of the producer... oh wait.
Couple of dive bombs on a strat before starting, guy had massive balls that's all I can say 👏👏👏❤️👏👏👏
For sure!! Most guitarists are horrified if they go out of tune - Jimi just found it funny.
Has a life long Strat player... haha yeah dive bombing on those vintage trem systems is a straight gamble 😄 Jimi just dealt with it like a boss.
I think he achieved more than that, really
He tunes on the go 😂

I don't really follow very many drummers. But I admit that Mitch Mitchell was the one guy who made me pay close attention to the drummer. His style is solid and very distinct.
And a bassest who can hold the whole thing together 😉...
Jimi and the Experience giving Lulu an experience. A great performance by the band, just having fun at the end. Oh to be one of lucky ones in the audience.
The one and only Jimi 🎸 ❤ Mitch & Noel Reding are amazing too 🙌🏾
Voodoo Chile is my favorite Hendrix song, and I love live performances of it even more. This is amazing.
Eternal Jimi’s music will fill the airwaves for generations to come
Man Hendrix was something else! I saw him going wild on the whammy, and I was thinking man that is DEFINITELY going out of tune, and I don't think he's going to jam a tuning pedal anytime soon.
But instead you can see him focusing intensely, listening to himself and his band, and adjust his playing. He pulls back sonically and a controls his dynamics within the band, letting the rest of the band full in the space he's emptying. He avoids playing chords using the higher strings, does solos/licks where he can bend to the right note, and even does some on the fly tuning by ear while playing live(?) on the BBC!
And then he calls his own song rubbish and instead gives props to some local musicians!
Talk about loose! What a fucking legend.
This gets better the more I watch it, what a performance 👏🏻
Love the glimpses and smiles between the three of them, they had their problems behind the scene at this point, but like any great band, they still delivered 100% when it was time to play
Wow to think he was playing this 50+ years ago! Amazing RIP Jimi
Jimmy Broke BBC s schedule...he is a Hero....
The Jimi Hendrix Experience in full flight. I just love seeing this so much. This performance is timeless.
I Remember seeing it live, that dates me, But What a show still being talked about 2024....
He has the strings set up correctly, for those who didnt know he could play regardless of how his guitar was strung. A true legend and the greatest guitarist of all time.
he was like an interstellar object, just flew by earth on his way to a galaxy far far away. he mastered the instrument completely to the point that the guitar in his hands looks like a clunky piece of wood which is just needed to bring down his visionary mind into this earthly reality
That jolly good smile when he was adjusting the E string during the song Hey Joe says it all. May his gentle soul continue to rest in eternal peace & glory.
Thanks for uploading this fantastic footage
No worries 👊
I’m so glad to see these videos in a higher quality ,Jimi was a funny dude.
Amazing, I saw the black and white version about 45 years ago and was blown away, this was the first time hearing JH.
This is fucking amazing.
👊
I love power trios. This is a classic performance by one of those great power trios.
Holy smokes!! What a band. That’s incredible 👊🏼 Three cats make all that sound 😮
Brilliant. Well done Jimi...
For those watching this that are musicians, casual or professional, we know he’s not really playing the instrument, it’s more of an emotive transcendence that flows from another dimension. A singular talent.
Bullshit - you can't fake an improv like that.
@@chrisharrohe's not saying literally he means, well it's hard to describe if you haven't experienced it but when you're playing and you get in almost a trance, it will feel like you aren't "playing", your not thinking about what your playing it just kind of comes out and it's an incredible feeling, It's a "if you know, you know" type of thing.
They’ll never be anyone like jimi again totally unique and a period in time when music had soul
I’ve seen this footage all my life but never in color!! This is wild🤯
Jimi was on the Lulu Show, supposedly, there was an agreement worked out that she would do a duet with him, this was what prompted his abrupt stop with Hey Joe and quickly jump into his Cream dedication, he was waving off Lulu, who was trying to make her way to the stage.
This is groovy, so groovy! I feel the groove no matter how many times I listen to this. Long live Jimi Hendrix!
"We"re gonna stop playing this rubbish..." 😂😂😂
His "rubbish" is better than most all of today's artist's best material!!
We'd like to stop playing this rubbish... Get it right
Hey Joe wasn't Jimis
A very self deprecating man with zero arrogance, how much all those crappers…sorry I mean rappers could learn from him! Imagine being so unaware of how off putting excessive arrogance is, especially when they haven’t got even 2% of Jimi’s talent….what a world we live in hey!! Yeah we all want to know about your gold chains, Mercedes, Rolls Royce while you shake wads of cash around! Can’t think of anyone I’d like less to be in that position….and people with nothing in life cheering these idiots on, sad to see people have no clue what garbage so called music marketing is ramming down their throats, hopefully one day soon it’ll disintegrate but there are a couple of generations that really need a lesson in what talent is….and what it absolutely isn’t!! Rant over 😂
@jamieharper2554 Hendrix had an image;used gimmicks etc etc
@@jamieharper2554totally agree 👍🏼
The greatest guitarist in the history of rock.
Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970)
I love how Jimi is dismissive of whoever is off camera signaling him to stop 7:55
I noticed that too! He dismisses him playfully.
He even slows down at the end just to wind them up more! Some jobsworth totally unaware they had a musical alchemist in the studio going overtime for 60 seconds who would only be with us for another year or so and they could get back to all their efficiently synchronized cabaret acts for the next 60 years.
@@roboi2241BBC had alot of uptight twats working then.
Definitely the best rock drummer ever!
U really think so? Who 2nd Bonham, Watts, Moon?
He's a good drummer, but not the best in the world.
Ill second that.. Mitch is my goat
Who was the drummer for Robin Trower on the album "Bridge of Sighs"? That dude could play.
Keith moon
Jimi On another plannet no wonder eric clapton & cream were blown away by Jimmies unique and powerful sound
Never been anything like it or ever will
Rock Gods.
Without a shadow, quite the coolest geezer on the planet. Iconic footage.
Incredible!!! What an extraordinary person Jimi was!!! How tragic his life ended too soon.
Priceless footage!.
Notice how
he slips in a quick piece of George Harrison's guitar riff from the Beatles, "I Feel Fine". Clever!
Watch your step.
The bluesbreakers did that years earlier.
This very clear, colorized JHE video is absolute GOLD !
Thank You very Much !
👊
Jimi the king love you, know all your songs still can't stop listening ❤❤😂😊
Jimi got banned by the BBC what an honour!
Jimi Hendrix got banned ☹️.
Old creepy Jimmy savile didn’t. Sad
Love it,!!!!
The BBC banned a black man!?
We’re being put off the air…
What do you mean
this performance is just speechless for me…
I love Noel on bass, thats my MOTHERFUCKER😎
Absolute monster
This is excellent. The coloring is really great, and the sound of what you expect of a public broadcaster back in the day. Really really good.
👊
That crowd had no idea what they were witnessing at the time. Amazing.
The days before floyd rose type tremelos and such but Hendrix always handled the tuning problems well. Thanks so much for posting this Hendrix was and still is one of my all time favorites and biggest influences. Way ahead of his time.
👊
My God Noel’s bass sounds fantastic.
Yep! I always notice the way Noel keeps up with Jimi but never competes with him. With Mitch, he made the perfect rhythm section for the JHE. The energy was fabulous!
i can't believe i haven't seen this. this performance is incredible. I've never seen him this good
First saw jimi live when I was fifteen changed me as a person profound experience
Can you tell us more about seeing JH live?
@Christiaan Burgel yes I saw jimi at the festival of flower children at Woburn Abbey England I think it was 68 before jimi became a superstar and I got really close to the stage he was really on form as was noel and mitch it was just before electric lady came out and the first time I heard voodoo chil slight return and for me started a 55 year love affair with the guitar after the gig he was casually walking around the festival site with a couple of girls and I managed to shake his hand I will never forget that magical summers evening the only other time I saw him was the Isle of Wight festival in 1970
@@rod9050 Thanks for your experience! Could you tell me something about the IOWight?
@Christiaan Burgel the Isle of Wight festival was a different trip the first time I saw jimi there was maybe 500 people there this was 750000 people and some of the best bands in the world over a week of music and partying with jimi headlining he hit the stage about 3 in the morning the equipment played up but he still played a blazing set have you seen the hendrix gig at the Albert Hall london
@@rod9050 I think i might have seen some of it.
I believe this was on The Lulu Show. Unreal.
I remember watching this live performance at the time. I think it was on a Saturday evening. The BBC probably had another programme due to start but fortunately some engineer must have decided to keep recording it even after the broadcast ended.
These guys are perfectly in tune with each other awesome.
Great , Fantastic , the best ever , Jimi Hendrix !
I've been waiting for a color version for years. It is beautiful. Thank you
Wish the camera man would have focused more on Jimi's playing.
