Interestingly it’s usually highly intelligent people with a high IQ that are the best at music. Studies show that a high IQ usually comes with a lower EIQ. Being able to understand and express emotion is different than understanding the emotions of others. So actually it was unlikely that he had a very high emotional intelligence because his logical intelligence was very high making him one of the greatest musicians ever. This correlation seems counter intuitive but it makes sense that a brain that is better at analysing logical patterns is better at music than one that has a better intuitive emotional understanding. Just saying. I am just referencing studies
@@musiccer7446 This seems to hold true more for those who are formally taught rather than self-taught musicians, as you rely more on your right brain and creative thinking in order to learn in otherwise unorthodox ways, rather than learning “by the book” theory as you would in a more formal setting. You are more reliant on feeling and the intuition in order to figure things out, rather than simply memorizing patterns.

Few people overdosed on heroin back in the 1960's because it was so weak. NARCAN was not invented. The idea so many famous icons like Morrison, Hendrix, Joplin as overdosed is a bit hard to accept at face value. They were part of the counter culture that were too smart or knew way too much for the Social Engineers who created the social revolution. Morrison could not play any musical instrument and was living on Venice beach collecting coke bottles to raise $1.50 per day to buy a potato, some soup and green beans to eat each day. He was sleeping on the roof of a friends apt in Venice beach. The next thing we see, he is being flown around the world on a 75 city tour and a private plane.

I take weeks off from even seeing my text message app. Incredible results. Don’t kid yourself...it’s that fucking simple. We weren’t meant to talk to our dozens of friends every single day in a little screen. Don’t kid yourself.
We had to drive around town half the night to hook up with friends, but we took things as they came and were generally happy no matter what. Narcissism and emotional outbursts were not tolerated. We knew how to take care of ourselves and damn sure looked out for each other. That was my experience as a teenager in the late ‘60s.
Really wish this was longer! I wanted to hear more on how Bob Dylan influenced him. One legend speaking on another legend. It's like the ultimate cross over.
@oogemsquagger91 Hendrix 1st heard the Dylan album in `65, BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME while living in HARLEM with FAYE PRIDGEON. JH heard Dylan sing & that did it for him, claiming if Dylan could get away with that, he(HENDRIX) knew he could make it. Hendrix was never sure of his singing voice.

Hendrix just had that higher "spirit"---it's an intangible that you can't really acquire--it's born in you.Only the rare individuals (like Jimi) have it.
Jimi was so full of love and peace, and I'm sure he had to deal with a lot of shit growing up black in the 40's-60's. He had every right to be bitter but he wasn't.
He IS a very evolved soul. He forgives fast and don't pollute surrounding energy with hatred or any other negative thoughts. Jimi lives in a very subtle and bright level inside the spiritual world

Awesome seeing this. Just awesome. So he would have been a good politician too. Look at the way he sliced through that square corporate students' interview like it was nothing... and he probably made a friend out of him, too. He didn't even stop and address the interviewers' question (blanket accusation) with regards to being 'articulate enough'. He just blew past him... like he was driving a Ferrari. I'm still amazed at watching Jimi speak... like it was yesterday. How could you not love this man?
I lived in Dallas then and had just turned 15. I saw him live in Fort Worth soon afterward and filmed part of the concert on a borrowed Super 8, my elbows steadying the camera on the edge of the stage. In those magical days, you could buy a cheap concert ticket for $4 and wander to the front with no hassle. Imagine how fucked up the world is now compared to those innocent times. .
@rob vandicik Hendrix was an awesome rock guitarist. There were many including Kath, Derringer, etc. But Mozart had more talent in his pinky at 5 years old then Hendrix or any other rock and roll star. Bach about the same. Dali is about par.

On February 16th 1968, I had the thrill of chasing Jimi's limo down from behind the Dallas State Fair Music Hall to the Dallas Statler Hilton on Commerce Street. It was so funny that a doorman actually opened up the door of 1962 Ford Falcon I was driving as if it were a swanky limo. Jimi was very gracious and spent a few minuets visiting and signing ticket stubs. Unfortunately the little Kodak Browning camera I was using spent all of the film at the concert and I had no photographic proof to share with friends and family. Sadly , someone a couple of years later sneaked into my bedroom early one morning while I was passed out and stolen my wallet containing the precious ticket stub with Jimi's autograph, never to be seen again.....
He was so smart. I've watched a lot of interviewers try to trick him or trap him. But he always answers with intelligence and class. We really miss you, Jimi.
Linda Keith was a visionary whose Brilliant insightful colorful views of perception, concieved the Brightest of all Stars in the creative constellations.
Hendrix was something else man. I would call him ahead of his time, but he’s so unique that there will never be anything past present or future that you could ever compare him to. A blinding flash of light that was here, there, and gone so fast before we could ever truly understand or appreciate him.
Rich B Hendrix came to Earth playing the Delta blues the way they do on his planet.On September 18,1970 He went back to his planet.Footnote NASA still can't find the planet Hendrix is from.
@@mickchilly1112 It's true he didn't have a huge amount of amazing shows. People only know about the "official" stuff, which really is all estate owned and released for a lot of cash. Hendrix's catalog after his death was never cheap. They still want the most money for it, the greedy vulturous pigs. With all this stuff that people only know, it seems like all Hendrix's gigs were amazing when it's far from the truth. He had many nights and days where he and Noel just hated how they were on the stage. They may be gentle people compared to the brash, arrogant people we are nowadays, but they also had some things they hated about themselves and their skill and even the world. I think he sort of dropped his guitar on the stage floor at the end of the Isle of Wight gig. Artists, man - it's impossible to learn of the true emotions and feelings they have when it gets critical, especially in a critique way. I know this because I'm an artist doing my own thing and it just gets rough, and that never ceases, though we never stop doing the art.
He was 27 when he passed. I'm 29 now and wished he'd have lived to see today. Just think about the music that would've been produced. RIP 🙏 Jimi. You would've been quite the friend to have.
Dallas convention center, such wonderful memories , Sabbath, Zeppelin, Zappa 5 times ,Queen, ZZ Top, Lynard Skynard, Thin lizzy , Crosby Stills Nash, Wings, I could continue for an hour at least......Tickets ranged from 3 to 5 dollars..Those were the days!
Linda Keith, unsung angel of the Hendrix story. She discovered Hendrix in a dive in Greenwich. She turned him on to LSD, gave him a guitar that belonged to Keith Richard's and turned Chas Chandler on to Jimi Hendrix... without her, the whole Hendrix phenomenon never happens.
Jimi was the embodiment of “cool”. He feels so close, so familiar, like a buddy that often comes to your home to take you out of your comfort zone. He died 53 years ago and he still sounds like the most contemporary thing, a son of modernity, the next generation. Always spreading a voice of reason, peace and tolerance among the mortals with a kind smile and a killer guitar.
I think about how much incredible music than we will never hear. He was hitting his creative stride when he died. Such a terrible waste of a rare talent.
In the midst of said reference,Whilst Mitch is waiting in the wings of their private Airplane patiently;Noel is hallucinating hardcore on the best LSD.Most likely after droppin' Purple Haze or Owlsly Acid as a collective power trio.Totally trippin' on a long strand of what seems to be his own hair,that just happens to be tangled up in the Indian Fringe's of Jimi's Brave Hippied-out Shaman stylized Suede Jacket!Lmao!!This glimpse in history is Classic footage.Rare as publicised ancient art of the Pharaoh's.Jimi's Bursts of laughter about Bob Dylan & Linda Keith blowing his mind is priceless!It surpasses a private joke,that he couldn't help it not to be.Wow!They are so high,you can feel their grooving positive vibes from that far back in time without even getting high."Are You Experienced?It's Not Necessarily Stoned,But Beautiful!" Those dope profound lyrics alone,if not by 'The Experience' explains it all to the news caster, & the viewer.Brilliance like that these days, is a lost Needle in a Haystack!!Awesome Download.
Wow cool man thank to who ever saved this film, its like TMZ of the day stopping Jimi Hendrick`s for a few question, This just some random news station breaded footage, A hidden gem revealing a lot more about the Jimi then any tv show appearance
Lind Keith gave Jimi the confidence to sing. She played him Bob Dylan songs, and Jimi realized "If he can do it, so can I." He says Bob Dylan and Linda affected his mind. Dylan's lyrics, Linda's encouragement to SING changed him.
I find it interesting that great guitarists are often excellent verbal communicators as well. Jimi, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai come to mind.
SRV was an alcoholic his whole life. You can read his first speech at an AA meeting, transcript online. He also was channeling Jimi, though Jimi spent a lot of time in the south long before 1966 so I'd suppose most people in the "scene" in the 50s and 60s spoke like that, particularly in the south. Jimi and Stevie took that from the fellow peers and grown ups in my opinion and it never left them. Of course, they also were their natural 10 year old boy-selves. Very innocent, humble respectful creatures of the human race. We get to see videos of Hendrix and SRV in our time, I think that's crazy enough.
"Him and this girl Linda Keith turned my mind on Heh heh heh😊"!? Seminal moment meeting Keith, far more than I've read, seen or heard. Having ventured far from home within the US, it sounds as if Linda painted in Jimi's mind a picture of global possibilities. Much respect for her.
Dallasite here.....that building at the beginning is the old Dallas Memorial Auditorium. Every notable performer in the 60's and most of the 70's played at the old auditorium. The Beatles, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Elvis, and etc. In fact, I think the 2nd to last Doors concert with Morrison happened here. During this time,in the late 60's, it was by itself. It's now part of a large convention center complex. The old auditorium barely gets used any more. What i think is interesting in this video is that you get a sense that Jimi was only important to a certain age range. To anyone over 30, let's say, he was just a hack, not a real musician, and only made noise.......on top of being a societal was and dopehead. Funny how artists are only understood and accepted by society at-large, after they are gone. Say what you want about heavy metal and hard rock guitarists, but Jiminy was the beginning and laid the ground work for unimaginable possibilities on electric guitar. And then Eddie Van Halen took it over and continued it. It's very rare to have an artist fundementally changed the way an instrument is approached by other artists. But it all started with Jimi.
jimi the paradox, free and yet burdened by the pressure of playing the same songs, record execs, media attention you know man manic depression is a frustrating mess!
High school drop out/101st Airborne...guy acts like he did nothing in between high school and becoming Jimi. Never mind toured with Isley’s Little Richard, played with King Curtis, John Hammond Jr. and his own iterations etc. The press has always had a skewed view.
Back in that time frame ' younger people were more mentally independent. More respectful ' humble & happy. They also weren't so wrapped up into vanity . That's merely my observations & personal opinion .
@Melanie Jarrett Yes, after his 2 shows @ The Civic Opera House , in Chicago, on February 25th, 1968, back stage, he was a friend of my x husband's, then boy friend, Jimi and i were tight, i miss him so much!
At the top of their game but Hendrix only had just over a year left to live. Seems incredible from this interview but true and the experience had even less time left than that. Makes you realise that no one, not even Hendrix, should or could take anything for granted.

One word "internet" i love it but you know that is pretty much it
I take weeks off from even seeing my text message app. Incredible results. Don’t kid yourself...it’s that fucking simple. We weren’t meant to talk to our dozens of friends every single day in a little screen. Don’t kid yourself.
Not just technology, though that is a problem. There was also less machismo and less aggression and hostility among people back then.
We had to drive around town half the night to hook up with friends, but we took things as they came and were generally happy no matter what. Narcissism and emotional outbursts were not tolerated. We knew how to take care of ourselves and damn sure looked out for each other. That was my experience as a teenager in the late ‘60s.
Really wish this was longer! I wanted to hear more on how Bob Dylan influenced him. One legend speaking on another legend. It's like the ultimate cross over.
Not me. I blessed to have anything of Hendrix and don't complain about it.
@oogemsquagger91 Hendrix 1st heard the Dylan album in `65, BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME while living in HARLEM with FAYE PRIDGEON. JH heard Dylan sing & that did it for him, claiming if Dylan could get away with that, he(HENDRIX) knew he could make it. Hendrix was never sure of his singing voice.
The cat was massively beautiful.
Jimi had a pet?! Who knew?!

Hendrix just had that higher "spirit"---it's an intangible that you can't really acquire--it's born in you.Only the rare individuals (like Jimi) have it.
Jimi was so full of love and peace, and I'm sure he had to deal with a lot of shit growing up black in the 40's-60's. He had every right to be bitter but he wasn't.
He IS a very evolved soul. He forgives fast and don't pollute surrounding energy with hatred or any other negative thoughts. Jimi lives in a very subtle and bright level inside the spiritual world
@@rogermichou8654 Jimi was also a Sagittarius. They’re a very different breed of people. They usually don’t let their circumstances dictate their ability to succeed and don’t stay down for long when they’re hurt by people or situations. Tina Turner is another notable Sagittarius as her birthday is the day before Jimi’s!
@@MickeyDs14 I'm a Sagittarius as well, but I didn't have to overcome the racism hatred and ignorance that Jimi had to deal with. I try to model myself after Jimi's strength and spirit.
@@Lewis9709 If only we could all be so lucky as to have Jimi’s spirit and strength. Not many have the ability to be so in tune and aware of themselves and to put ego aside. He really did make it about the music and left his heart out there every time. We lost a true visionary!
Me, Jimi and Beethoven all share the same B-day!!!😁
I can see his mind working behind the words. Dude was an actual genius.
Yeah, shame he never wrote a book about this, would have been a best seller. ✌️
Yeah and his genius even made that news guy even look more like a moran without a harsh or arrogant word.
Jimi was transitioning from his "hat period" to his "headband era" in this goldmine of a clip. Wow!
Sporting his extremely short haircut, too! He never had it this short again.
@@StewSpaull That haircut 1st appeared on the back cover of SMASH HITS. Early`69. Things had already turned NASTY as `68 rolled into `69. Damn VIETNAM.
@@StewSpaull Last time Hendrix`s hair was cut was in 1961/62. The ARMY. In militant 1969 it was fitting that he would cut his hair.
Definitely.
Noel Redding was trying to be his tailor.
What an amazing voice. Amazing mind. Amazing talent. #DFW
Awesome seeing this. Just awesome. So he would have been a good politician too. Look at the way he sliced through that square corporate students' interview like it was nothing... and he probably made a friend out of him, too. He didn't even stop and address the interviewers' question (blanket accusation) with regards to being 'articulate enough'.
He just blew past him... like he was driving a Ferrari.
I'm still amazed at watching Jimi speak... like it was yesterday. How could you not love this man?
I lived in Dallas then and had just turned 15. I saw him live in Fort Worth soon afterward and filmed part of the concert on a borrowed Super 8, my elbows steadying the camera on the edge of the stage. In those magical days, you could buy a cheap concert ticket for $4 and wander to the front with no hassle. Imagine how fucked up the world is now compared to those innocent times.
.
Innocent days? You forgot about the assassinations and that little war called Vietnam.
Absolute Genius.
One of a kind. Boccaccio, Bach, Mozart, Picasso, Dali, Hendrix.
@rob vandicik Hendrix was an awesome rock guitarist. There were many including Kath, Derringer, etc. But Mozart had more talent in his pinky at 5 years old then Hendrix or any other rock and roll star. Bach about the same. Dali is about par.
The great thing about art is that everyone is free to think of it.
@@storkonstage Maybe with painting because you can put one dot on the canvas. Or a Campell soup can and you can convince sheeples its art. Same in rock. No rock musican is a genius except Brian May and his is in astrophysics. Mozart was one of the greatest geniuses ever on this Earth. You have a right to your own opinion. Not your own facts.

On February 16th 1968, I had the thrill of chasing Jimi's limo down from behind the Dallas State Fair Music Hall to the Dallas Statler Hilton on Commerce Street. It was so funny that a doorman actually opened up the door of 1962 Ford Falcon I was driving as if it were a swanky limo. Jimi was very gracious and spent a few minuets visiting and signing ticket stubs. Unfortunately the little Kodak Browning camera I was using spent all of the film at the concert and I had no photographic proof to share with friends and family. Sadly , someone a couple of years later sneaked into my bedroom early one morning while I was passed out and stolen my wallet containing the precious ticket stub with Jimi's autograph, never to be seen again.....
''MUSIC DOESN'T LIE. IF THERE IS SOMETHING TO BE CHANGED IN THIS WORLD, THEN IT CAN ONLY HAPPEN THRU MUSIC.'' ~JIMI
Then Beiber happened..
Blind conscience...
Well, Picasso might not agree, but at the time music was the vehicle.
Gone too soon, but his influence and impact on music and culture will be forever.
Jimi was a beautiful soul, extremely bright and courteous, a brilliant lyricist, and of course the zenith with regards to rock guitarists!!!!
A great interview i like how he is non judgemental
My favorite guitar player forever. There is only one Jimi.
He was so smart. I've watched a lot of interviewers try to trick him or trap him. But he always answers with intelligence and class. We really miss you, Jimi.
Every Single Word Said or Note Played by This Guy is a Bliss for the Spirit...
Such a genius in his own way, no one will push guitar to it’s heights like he did. No one.
Man he's so ahead of his time in every way.
Always had a crush on Jimi. Cute guy and Super talented. I was 17 years old in 1969. Thank you. God bless you. 💗➕💗🎸
In think MLK, Jimmy Hendrix and Tupac Shakur where all incredibly bright men
Good on Linda Keith for noticing Jimi when he was an unknown, perhaps she deserves more credit,,it seems Jimi was fond of her
Also see Stones' "Ruby Tuesday" written about Linda Keith, who was Keith's girlfriend, Vogue Model & introduced Jimi to Chas Chandler.
EXACTLY !!!!!!!!!
She was also Paul Kossoff's cousin.
Linda Keith was a visionary whose Brilliant insightful colorful views of perception, concieved the Brightest of all Stars in the creative constellations.
@@arcang2102 absolutely
I’ve never seen Jimi laugh like that before. It’s cool to see that side of him
Hendrix was something else man. I would call him ahead of his time, but he’s so unique that there will never be anything past present or future that you could ever compare him to. A blinding flash of light that was here, there, and gone so fast before we could ever truly understand or appreciate him.
Beautiful comment
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMI 🎸💙💙💙
This is gold....never seen this before....God Bless TH-cam. Jimi was on another level for sure.....in my top 5 most influential musicians ever.
One of the coolest humans ever
El más grande guitarrista de todas las épocas........🎸🔥☮️...abrazo grande dónde estés hermano querido ....de Argentina 🇦🇷 2021
Jimi was just a down to Earth cool guy who managed to teach himself to be one hell of a guitar player. I miss him.
The benefits of having a Canadian dad.
Rich B Hendrix came to Earth playing the Delta blues the way they do on his planet.On September 18,1970 He went back to his planet.Footnote NASA still can't find the planet Hendrix is from.
Wish I was born early enough to watch a Jimi Hendrix Experience concert
You would have been sadly disappointed yourself not much good. Ilve
@@mickchilly1112 you are joking I believe
Heyy, Atom Heart Mother. Great album.
@@mickchilly1112 It's true he didn't have a huge amount of amazing shows. People only know about the "official" stuff, which really is all estate owned and released for a lot of cash. Hendrix's catalog after his death was never cheap. They still want the most money for it, the greedy vulturous pigs.
With all this stuff that people only know, it seems like all Hendrix's gigs were amazing when it's far from the truth. He had many nights and days where he and Noel just hated how they were on the stage. They may be gentle people compared to the brash, arrogant people we are nowadays, but they also had some things they hated about themselves and their skill and even the world. I think he sort of dropped his guitar on the stage floor at the end of the Isle of Wight gig. Artists, man - it's impossible to learn of the true emotions and feelings they have when it gets critical, especially in a critique way. I know this because I'm an artist doing my own thing and it just gets rough, and that never ceases, though we never stop doing the art.
@@SPNKr16 Yes what you're said is ✅ Bad management before he died wasn't a happy man. Literally worked to Death. A real Shame.
Great interview with Jimi, what a lovely gentle soul he was! ❤
One is the best if not the best Rock Guitarist of all time.
The greatest ever
Yes 👏👏👏👌👌🔥🔥
@@nix324 “him (bob dylan) and this girl Linda Keith really turned my mind on”
Yes he and Prince
Jimi was on a different planet.
Unbelievably cool, even for modern standards
I love how he checked his silly answer , then proceeded to drop mad jewels.
He was 27 when he passed. I'm 29 now and wished he'd have lived to see today. Just think about the music that would've been produced. RIP 🙏 Jimi. You would've been quite the friend to have.
He seemed like a sweet person and he is a guitar God. RIP.
Jimi's speaking voice was not so different from his singing voice.
Notice Noel messing with his hair and then picking hairs off Jimi's shoulder.
Stroking the fringes on Jimi's jacket reminded me of a passage in his book detailing daily drug consumption on tour. Uppers, acid, downers.
The greatest musician ever to step foot on this planet period.
Dallas convention center, such wonderful memories , Sabbath, Zeppelin, Zappa 5 times ,Queen, ZZ Top, Lynard Skynard, Thin lizzy , Crosby Stills Nash, Wings, I could continue for an hour at least......Tickets ranged from 3 to 5 dollars..Those were the days!
Linda Keith, unsung angel of the Hendrix story. She discovered Hendrix in a dive in Greenwich. She turned him on to LSD, gave him a guitar that belonged to Keith Richard's and turned Chas Chandler on to Jimi Hendrix... without her, the whole Hendrix phenomenon never happens.
Right on
She's also the inspiration for the Stones' song Ruby Tuesday.
He would of made it anyway, he was a 🌟
Yes...
Yea without her he didn’t go to England where he was murdered by Mike Jeffrey’s men.
Still the coolest. Jimi forever- bold as love.
Lets be honest, were all here because of 4/20/69.
Beautiful soul!🥳
When you finally get your mind together, come on across to me.
But first......
...not, necessarily "stoned"..but..Beautiful...
Jimi was the embodiment of “cool”. He feels so close, so familiar, like a buddy that often comes to your home to take you out of your comfort zone. He died 53 years ago and he still sounds like the most contemporary thing, a son of modernity, the next generation. Always spreading a voice of reason, peace and tolerance among the mortals with a kind smile and a killer guitar.
There will never be another Jimmy Hendrix,he was an amazing artist.
same goes for Jimi Hendrix
There is one busking on the street of every major town in America.
I think about how much incredible music than we will never hear. He was hitting his creative stride when he died. Such a terrible waste of a rare talent.
One of the shortest but best interviews with Hendrix ever!! 🎸🤘
At 1:36 That reference was to Jimi's first AciD TriP Linda Keith gave to him.
Yea haha was searching for the comment. Really made jimi hendrix didnt it
Yep...linda turned him on first.
In the midst of said reference,Whilst Mitch is waiting in the wings of their private Airplane patiently;Noel is hallucinating hardcore on the best LSD.Most likely after droppin' Purple Haze or Owlsly Acid as a collective power trio.Totally trippin' on a long strand of what seems to be his own hair,that just happens to be tangled up in the Indian Fringe's of Jimi's Brave Hippied-out Shaman stylized Suede Jacket!Lmao!!This glimpse in history is Classic footage.Rare as publicised ancient art of the Pharaoh's.Jimi's Bursts of laughter about Bob Dylan & Linda Keith blowing his mind is priceless!It surpasses a private joke,that he couldn't help it not to be.Wow!They are so high,you can feel their grooving positive vibes from that far back in time without even getting high."Are You Experienced?It's Not Necessarily Stoned,But Beautiful!" Those dope profound lyrics alone,if not by 'The Experience' explains it all to the news caster, & the viewer.Brilliance like that these days, is a lost Needle in a Haystack!!Awesome Download.
Wow cool man thank to who ever saved this film, its like TMZ of the day stopping Jimi Hendrick`s for a few question, This just some random news station breaded footage, A hidden gem revealing a lot more about the Jimi then any tv show appearance
Greatest Musician Of All Times . Greatest Song Writer and Guitar Player . ( Much Superior then any individual Beatle or Rolling Stone . )
love you man for that comment and agree totally!!
Again, I’m the only person under 30 years old here. After years of commenting rock legends videos I just notice this sad fact just last week
He was ahead of his time, pure genius!
What an incredible man.
J'l'adore ce mec ! Il sera toujours unique .
Are we just gonna ignore Dude behind Jimi high af playing with Hendrix jacket 😂🤣😂
I'd give anything to have Jimi & Prince back💜💜💜
Lind Keith gave Jimi the confidence to sing. She played him Bob Dylan songs, and Jimi realized "If he can do it, so can I." He says Bob Dylan and Linda affected his mind. Dylan's lyrics, Linda's encouragement to SING changed him.
I find it interesting that great guitarists are often excellent verbal communicators as well. Jimi, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai come to mind.
Only the first 2
SRV was an alcoholic his whole life. You can read his first speech at an AA meeting, transcript online. He also was channeling Jimi, though Jimi spent a lot of time in the south long before 1966 so I'd suppose most people in the "scene" in the 50s and 60s spoke like that, particularly in the south. Jimi and Stevie took that from the fellow peers and grown ups in my opinion and it never left them. Of course, they also were their natural 10 year old boy-selves. Very innocent, humble respectful creatures of the human race. We get to see videos of Hendrix and SRV in our time, I think that's crazy enough.
😊😊 JIMI was in a good mood laughing just the way he should've been happy 😊😅 peace ✌ 😊 JIMI OMG 8 8 2O24
This holds true to this very day 💯
"Him and this girl Linda Keith turned my mind on Heh heh heh😊"!? Seminal moment meeting Keith, far more than I've read, seen or heard. Having ventured far from home within the US, it sounds as if Linda painted in Jimi's mind a picture of global possibilities. Much respect for her.
Dallasite here.....that building at the beginning is the old Dallas Memorial Auditorium. Every notable performer in the 60's and most of the 70's played at the old auditorium. The Beatles, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Elvis, and etc. In fact, I think the 2nd to last Doors concert with Morrison happened here. During this time,in the late 60's, it was by itself. It's now part of a large convention center complex. The old auditorium barely gets used any more. What i think is interesting in this video is that you get a sense that Jimi was only important to a certain age range. To anyone over 30, let's say, he was just a hack, not a real musician, and only made noise.......on top of being a societal was and dopehead. Funny how artists are only understood and accepted by society at-large, after they are gone. Say what you want about heavy metal and hard rock guitarists, but Jiminy was the beginning and laid the ground work for unimaginable possibilities on electric guitar. And then Eddie Van Halen took it over and continued it. It's very rare to have an artist fundementally changed the way an instrument is approached by other artists. But it all started with Jimi.
Jimi rocks! 🤙🎸🎤🔊
I've seen some videos saying that's MORGAN FREEMAN there folks! hahaha
jimi the paradox, free and yet burdened by the pressure of playing the same songs, record execs, media attention you know man manic depression is a frustrating mess!
"it's nothing but a circus I guess... Jimi about his performances.
High school drop out/101st Airborne...guy acts like he did nothing in between high school and becoming Jimi. Never mind toured with Isley’s Little Richard, played with King Curtis, John Hammond Jr. and his own iterations etc.
The press has always had a skewed view.
That last statement was priceless !🤣🤣
It was poetic, funny and classy all at once.
Back in that time frame ' younger people were more mentally independent. More respectful ' humble & happy. They also weren't so wrapped up into vanity . That's merely my observations & personal opinion .
AMEN JIMI AMEN, LOVE YOU STILL, MISS YOU!! The greatest guitarist whom ever lived, and the greatest person i have ever known!
@Melanie Jarrett Yes, after his 2 shows @ The Civic Opera House , in Chicago, on February 25th, 1968, back stage, he was a friend of my x husband's, then boy friend, Jimi and i were tight, i miss him so much!
Great photo isn't that also you on that Zappa album.Classic!
@@arcang2102 Hmm, don't recall🤔, I'd have to see it, it's been a minute, thanks!
At the top of their game but Hendrix only had just over a year left to live. Seems incredible from this interview but true and the experience had even less time left than that. Makes you realise that no one, not even Hendrix, should or could take anything for granted.
Such a positive person.
