    This channel has done the MOST AMAZING job at creating what has to be THE most definitive Hendrix biography ever laid down. I cannot thank these guys enough for how they have humanized my favorite musical artist to such great detail. I have listened to every single episode and I am just grateful. I know its not over, and I do not want it to be over, but what a fantastic achievement.

    Hello people, I have just discovered your channel today when this video came up in my feed. I am a huge Jimi fan and have been for the last er...43 years or so when my Dad turned me onto him as a beginning 11 year old guitarist and never in all that time have a come across such an amazingly detailed work of love dedicated to Jimi (and Mitch, Noel, Billy, and Buddy). Of course I've gone back and started watching all of your videos in order from the beginning, I've been doing it on and off throughout the day, so I'm about 12 or so episodes in, right at the point when the recording of the first album is being discussed and I'm happy to see that there's like another 30 or so episodes to go before I'm caught up!!! The level of detail is incredible, I've seen some really good documentaries done by fans for other groups over the years, particularly related to the Beatles and the Stones but never anything quite like this, it's beyond professional and you all (if it's even an "all") should be awarded and rewarded. Thank you for your incredible work and for making it so available for the world.

    Always look forward to your vlog man. You have done the homework, the legwork, and tied it up with a bow. Hendrix died a few years before I was born so I never had a chance to partake. I was fortunate enough to catch the Grateful Dead, and their family shows about 300+ times. Unfortunately they never jammed together although they were supposed to it at the Fillmore East or Fillmore West and something occurred during the show that prevented it from going down. Of all the guitarists to ever pick up the Axe, Jimi is by far the best. He had the most impact, he was the most innovative with limited technology, he was ahead of his time, and his songs were great as well. Not too many people can put it all together. He was being pulled in 10 different directions, and he was trying to please everyone. When you do that you neglect yourself. Which is what happened. He fell into drug abuse and depression. It's an awful combination. People can't understand unless they experience it themselves. In the end his spirit was attacked one too many times and he wasn't able to fend off the vultures that were eating him apart. It's a bittersweet story. Came to an end too quickly which is why we are still dealing with it today. His legacy is one of beauty.

      Thank you for the insight about Hendrix...The deal with Jimi and the Dead...is that Jerry Garcia got pissed off, when Jimi had failed to show up for a gig, earlier on. Jimi had told Jerry that he was sorry--but he had met an incredibly sexy woman, and had decided to spend time with her, instead of making the gig. So, when Jimi showed up for the Dead's next gig at Fillmore West...Garcia simply chose to ignore Jimi's presence, and did not make room for Hendrix to sit in. In a way, I cannot blame him.

      @@curbozerboomer1773 Absolutely, I knew it had something to do with that, but couldn't think of it off the top of my head. I don't blame him either. It sounds like Hendrix was on like a 4 year recording/concert/drug bender that didn't have any sort of cohesion to it. It sounds like his days were scattered, which is why he was always complaining about just wanting to be alone and unplugging for a minute. Going from show.to.show.to.show when we were out with the Dead, I felt the same way and I was just a paying customer. I couldn't even imagine the wear and tear that type of lifestyle having to perform every night. It is exhausting.

      Hendrix was a rather superstitious-type, and on vacation in Morocco, a Tarot Card reader showed him the "Death-Card"...during a couple of concerts, and in interviews, he would blurt out that "My God, I'm gonna die". I have him saying that in one of my old bootleg audience recordings, from 1970.That does not imply that he committed suicide...but he did seemed haunted by his demise!

    - Jimi Hendrix
    - Maui
    - Hippie chicks

    I can't wait for a episode about Jimi's involvement in the making of the movie Rainbow Bridge in Maui in the summer of 1970. Did you know of the involvement of the Laguna Beach hippie Mafia known as the Brotherhood of eternal love and their involvement with LSD guru Timothy Leary.? They arranged and financed Timothy Leary's escape from prison and then his escape to Algeria Jimi was close friends with leaders of the group video of which appeared in the film. Ironic that by the time of Rainbow Bridge release in 1971 Jimi was dead and the principles of the BEL were under indictment on the run or dead themselves.. This all led to much speculation in the hippie Mafia underground that Jimi had been murdered. Timothy Leary had been demonized by President Nixon as the most dangerous man in America Jimi close connection to Leary made him a government Target.
    I'm glad to see that the complete recording of the private Rainbow Bridge concert has now been made available ask live in Maui. The movie only contains 17 minutes of the concert.

    Hendrix at the LA Forum kicks ass but it is in many versions is not of great audio quality. I remember adjusting my bass and treble and even moving speakers. Parts of SSB were down right haunting. He played the audience back at them. But no matter what others say, the Cry of Love tour yielded some of his best playing. Fortunately you've got Berkely and Atlanta Pop to prove that. I had a bootleg I bought at a headshop in 72. the label said Shalom. And there was another very expensive bootleg of much better quality, both from Hawaii and both better than any of the Rainbow Bridge stuff.

    Thank you for another fantastic episode, Belly Button Window. It was great to hear excerpts from Kathy's book "Through Gypsy Eyes" here, which I would highly recommend. They do make me sad, however. I think that Jimi actually really loved Kathy, but her feelings were - unfortunately - not as intense for him as his were for her. I also concur (yet again) with Jimi and Eddie's take regarding Buddy - no offence meant to Buddy in general, though! I am not quite sure why Mitch was dissatisfied with the LA Forum show. I think that it's brilliant. It was re-released yet again last year by some Japanese fans on double CD, with a new merge and remastering which have helped to clean up the sound further and bring Mitch's drums to the fore at least a bit more. That version is not on TH-cam (only two tracks from it are). Nevertheless, the following merge of the LA Forum concert can be found here on TH-cam. Enjoy! th-cam.com/video/vNYyqOlBbbs/w-d-xo.html

      IMO...Poor Hendrix was constantly plagued with being asked to play his earlier hits, over and over...He would shout out-"You are all living in the past" during these later concerts, and sometimes would give the audience the finger! Well, he was correct about his audiences not really digging his newer stuff...then again, the great Jazz performer, Miles Davis, when asked why he enjoyed Hendrix, simply said "That God-Damn Machine Gun!!" Davis had briefly jammed with Jimi, at Jimi's apartment in NYC.

      I caught Jethro Tull live, in Seattle, in 1969...I can remember Cornick constantly jumping up and down, and wondering what drug he must have been on!...Hendrix really appreciated Tull's somewhat alternative approach to progressive Rock. So did I, after seeing them really "cooking" at the old Eagle's Auditorium, in Seattle. Steve Miller Band was also on that show...they were just so-so. Steve Miller went very "pop" in the 1970s, and his music really sold to the masses. I never really understood why he was so popular, but whatever.

    Steve Miller once told me sometime around 1996 that Jimi was starting to use heroin way too much about this time and that they actually shot him up with speed to get him out on the stage to perform. He had a tear in his eye when telling me this and said it ruined his last impressions of Hendrix. For people who have been around hard drug usage, I have, it appears to me like all the signs were there. Inconsistent performances and state of mind, head down on the console, same clothes days in a row, fracturing relationships and darker songs. No worries except that the lifestyle literally took him away way too soon. Before we could see where his genius would have taken him. Most musicians so focused on technique usually veer towards jazz but I think he would have been the first to come up with an amalgamated style of many American genres that was all his own. Certainly at one point mastering the slide guitar and doing things on acoustic guitar and other instruments that we still haven’t seen yet. Above all, Jimi was such an amazing lyricist that i mourn the loss of the stories he would have told. I seriously doubt he would have ever settled into a single style or genre like so many of his contemporaries at the time have…Clapton, Winwood, Buddy Guy, Rolling Stones, etc.
    I think if he would have replaced Mick Taylor in the Stones and pushed Keith to new heights that the Stones would have become untouchable instead of the money machine nostalgic bore they have turned into. Who knows?

      Trower caught Hendrix at the Berlin show, 1970, and was impressed by his imaginative, ethereal use of the Univibe, Wah-wah, etc. You can hear similar sounds coming from Trower's guitar. I caught his act in Seattle, around 1975 or so. He was damn good! But Rolling Stone Magazine did not even list him among their "Top 100" Guitarists of all time, likely because they thought he was just a Jimi copycat...but so what?...Trower made some great music, and up until very recently, was still touring.
