James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 - September 18, 1970) was an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Although his mainstream career spanned only four years, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music, and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music".
Born in Seattle, Washington, Hendrix began playing guitar at the age of 15. In 1961, he enlisted in the US Army, but was discharged the following year. Soon afterward, he moved to Clarksville then Nashville, Tennessee, and began playing gigs on the chitlin' circuit, earning a place in the Isley Brothers' backing band and later with Little Richard, with whom he continued to work through mid-1965. He then played with Curtis Knight and the Squires before moving to England in late 1966 after bassist Chas Chandler of the Animals became his manager. Within months, Hendrix had earned three UK top ten hits with the Jimi Hendrix Experience: "Hey Joe", "Purple Haze", and "The Wind Cries Mary". He achieved fame in the US after his performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, and in 1968 his third and final studio album, Electric Ladyland, reached number one in the US. The double LP was Hendrix's most commercially successful release and his first and only number one album. The world's highest-paid performer, he headlined the Woodstock Festival in 1969 and the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 before his accidental death in London from barbiturate-related asphyxia on September 18, 1970.
Hendrix was inspired by American rock and roll and electric blues. He favored overdriven amplifiers with high volume and gain, and was instrumental in popularizing the previously undesirable sounds caused by guitar amplifier feedback. He was also one of the first guitarists to make extensive use of tone-altering effects units in mainstream rock, such as fuzz distortion, Octavia, wah-wah, and Uni-Vibe. He was the first musician to use stereophonic phasing effects in recordings. Holly George-Warren of Rolling Stone commented: "Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before him had experimented with feedback and distortion, but Hendrix turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began."
Hendrix was the recipient of several music awards during his lifetime and posthumously. In 1967, readers of Melody Maker voted him the Pop Musician of the Year and in 1968, Billboard named him the Artist of the Year and Rolling Stone declared him the Performer of the Year. Disc and Music Echo honored him with the World Top Musician of 1969 and in 1970, Guitar Player named him the Rock Guitarist of the Year. The Jimi Hendrix Experience was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. Rolling Stone ranked the band's three studio albums, Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold as Love, and Electric Ladyland, among the 100 greatest albums of all time, and they ranked Hendrix as the greatest guitarist and the sixth greatest artist of all time.
Details are disputed concerning Hendrix's last day and death. He spent much of September 17, 1970, with Monika Dannemann in London, the only witness to his final hours. Dannemann said that she prepared a meal for them at her apartment in the Samarkand Hotel around 11 p.m., when they shared a bottle of wine. She drove him to the residence of an acquaintance at approximately 1:45 a.m., where he remained for about an hour before she picked him up and drove them back to her flat at 3 a.m. She said that they talked until around 7 a.m., when they went to sleep. Dannemann awoke around 11 a.m. and found Hendrix breathing but unconscious and unresponsive. She called for an ambulance at 11:18 a.m., and it arrived nine minutes later. Paramedics transported Hendrix to St Mary Abbots Hospital where Dr. John Bannister pronounced him dead at 12:45 p.m. on September 18.
Desmond Henley embalmed Hendrix's body which was flown to Seattle on September 29. Hendrix's family and friends held a service at Dunlap Baptist Church in Seattle's Rainier Valley on Thursday, October 1; his body was interred at Greenwood Cemetery in nearby Renton, the location of his mother's grave. - บันเทิง

The baby picture of Jimmy and his beloved mother is so precious. He was such a cute baby, and his mother was beautiful. RIP Jimmy.
Does report the queue picture of Jimmy with his mother together in his grave picture of Jimmy cute picture of Jimi Hendrix Jimmy put the picture in of little cute Jimi Hendrix in the Grave with him and his mother side by side father mother and son
It’s a disgrace that JANIE, Jimi’s STEP SISTER hasn’t put Lucille in Jimi’s grave site…shows how much she knew him, his mother was everything to him . 🤬
i reckon she knew him better than you. i think it's the family's business what they want to do with the old bones of their relatives.
R.I.P. Jimi was one of the best Guitarists in my and hubs life.😭
You know I wondered the same thing until you made this post. So sad it makes me sad and mad
Exactly I totally agree!
Absolutely
Thank you Scott for the video, I think it’s disrespectful and disgusting not to have his Mother’s grave next to her Son considering he was buried next to her to begin with. Without his Mother there would have been no Jimi.
I met one of his cousins who used to tour with him, a few months ago.... really nice man and he told me stories about Jimi and how they grew up...I was able to talk to him for a while cuz I was at work and he was shopping...I won't ever forget that moment ....we are now friends on Instagram and check on each other from time to time.....btw he told me about a couple other legends too...it was so cool
The fact that Jimi Hendrix's mother's remains weren't moved along with his, to rest next to where her son is buried, is beyond disgraceful - and an insult not only to the memory of Jimi, but that of his mother, as well.
To see so many blank headstones awaiting inscriptions of other family members, adds insult to injury.
Whomever decided that both he and his mother should be so blatantly disrespected, will no doubt have to answer to a Higher Power, when their time comes.
His sister apparently wanted it. I have no clue what happened but there seemed to have been tension between his sister and mother. But most definitely i think it's a disgrace. It's like they made not only a Jimi Hendrix memorial but almost a family plot. His mom deserves to be there instead of that step mother. That alone to me is the biggest blow to Jimi. The stepmother didn't give birth to him Lucille did. Whoever ordered for this to be done will never hear the end of it from the fans of probably one of my favorites of all time. Eddie Van Halen being tired right there with Jimi in my opinion
Whatever went down in the family, she still birthed Jimi. She's his mother and deserves to be included in the family plot. She brought him into this world in spite of her flaws. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Jimi was approximately 15 or 16 when Lucille passed away. I'm quite sure she would have loved to have witnessed his incredible success! 💔🖤🙏🏾🤲🏾🙏🏾
Lena, you can’t speak on the Higher Power.
Your opinion yes.
But you ain’t sitting at the gates…. BIIIIIIH
@@michaeldevault-edmondson531 His step sister Janie I gather who runs the biz side of everything? She never met Jimi's mother so I'm not sure how there could be any tension it just seems mean spirited.
@@michaeldevault-edmondson531 Step Sister! She had no right to do that . She'll get her karma.
Damn shame the mother is alone out there. I hope they can move her to her family. Thanks Scott!
The wind chimes are so peaceful to hear
Thank you, Scott! What a talent and gone to soon! Beautiful monument for him. That guy with the guitar was so cool. RIP Jimi. You touched so many hearts and are greatly missed.
Hey chap!👍
Thanks for the News
I live in East Tennessee so I may never make it out to Jimi's Memorial but thank you for taking me there, forever grateful - Rock on.
You’re welcome Ron!
I used to live in the apartments overlooking the cemetery. I could see Jimi's old grave from my living room. There were almost always someone there. Sometimes the visitors played guitar while sitting there. I was surprised at the simplicity of his original grave.
I live in the Seattle area...the problem with his original gravestone, was that vandals kept stealing it!...In 1979, I journeyed out to Greenwood Cemetery, and found his simple grave...I was the only one there, and it was his birthday!...But amazingly, a limo pulled up and out popped Mr. Al Hendrix, Jimi's dad...I backed away while he set a wreath on the grave...then he called me over, and we talked for over an hour...he was a friendly sort, but it was clear that he did not really understand Jimi's amazing skills and wonderful tunes...He said that he just thought that Jimi would spend his life playing small clubs, being low-key successful...Wow!
@@curbozerboomer1773 Wow, his father couldn’t understand the massive impact his son had on not only rock music, but also R&B. It’s pretty obvious whenever I listen to Funkadelic, aka Parliament, and singer/guitarist Bobby Womack, that Jimi paved the way to use rock guitar styles in some of their songs. There are many other R&B singers and musicians who were influenced by him, but the list is too long to include here. RIP, Jimi. You will NEVER be forgotten!
@@curbozerboomer1773That's amazing. Jimi Hendrix's father and paternal grandparents were low-key successful when it came to boxing/dancing and vaudeville acts, respectively. The economics (and probably 20:07 racism) of the time period impeded upon their success. I suppose his dad simply couldn't conceive of such wide spread success. Jimi 's grandmother who performed nationally in the Dixieland vaudeville group was the daughter of a freed slave from Georgia. So I guess when you're the talented grandson of a slave and you've struggled yourself, it's difficult to imagine the world embracing your son. It's an interesting perspective and place to be in history, for sure.
Thank you Scott for your return visit to Jimi's funeral church and memorial. Who do we gotta talk to, petition, love bomb in order to get Jimi's momma moved next to her baby boy? If the step-family is concerned about funding, hells BELLS there're enough Jimi fans who will give $1 and it would be done within a week! We need a cost/goal for a GFM.
To leave Jimi's mother outside and include the step mother is a insult and disgrace. Shame on who ever did this.
@Shannon B you should start the process. If you start the petition then the others will come. I’m down with it. I to believe that it was SO wrong to bury the STEP MOM in the family plot and not the BIRTH MOTHER??? That was his step sister’s doing and it wasn’t right. Start the petition and GFM and it’ll get done 🙏💙🙏❤️🙏
So let me get this straight….
Whole family is buried over there next to him…..but the one who gave birth to him isn’t?
I will have to do my research why that is but it really pains me to witness this…. Breaks my heart
Exactly
He is one of the greats in music. Jimi, you had skills to be an icon.
Jimi IS an icon.
Best guitarist 🎸 of the world
What a beautiful and gracious thing you did Scott to remember Jimi Hendrix Mom. ... I'm hoping that maybe it was a minor oversight or if a petition can be taken to have his mother laid to rest by her son the way it was intended to be. It's moments like this Scott that make you my absolute favorite and I thank you for your kind heart your true spirit and your sharing manner that brings our memories to the forefront once again! ... Thank you 🌹❤️🌹
It wasn’t a “MINOR OVERSIGHT” How can you forget to have ONE body removed and buried with the other bodies that you placed in a new plot????? His step-sister was being smart and didn’t want Jimi’s mother there. NOW,for the sake of argument,let’s just say that she did “forget” What the hell is stopping her from doing what is right now??? Someone,anyone got to start a petition to get the ball rolling and if people donate a $1 to a Go Fund Me like Shannon B mentioned,then it will happen….. R.I.P to both Jimi and his Mother 🙏💙🙏❤️🙏
Thanks, Scott. Jimi was one of my favorites. I enjoy you sharing this. Your awesome 😊
My favorite guitarist ever is Jimi. I still imagine how things would have been if he lived. How much more great music he would have put out. Rest in peace Jimi. Your music will live on forever. And thank you as always Scott. You're the best brother. ❤️🎸
No one was as great of a guitarist than jimi was he was just literally insane and the way he uses those cords is unbelievable nothing I've ever seen 😳
People who can read and write music as well as play it too, and who've actually mastered the guitar regardless of the genre, have no choice but to list Jimi as their favorite player. If we're being honest, we have no choice but to admit that he contributed more to the annuals of musical knowledge and to the art of music as seen through the eyes of a guitar, than anyone preceding or subsequent to him. Since 1967 he has consistently been voted by his peers, as the ultimate guitar maestro. It's now 2023...same story. He's in the same league as Django, Charlie, T-Bone and Berry. But the fundamental difference between him and them, is that he was also a spiritual and musical alchemist who knew how to work with our heads. This fact is irrefutably proven by his continuous #1 vote. He was THE master that no one else will ever get to be.
Easily the greatest guitarist ever. Thanks for posting stay safe brother 🙏🏽
Jimi Hendrix is definitely jamming up in heaven right now and they love him they love the guy
Him and Eddie are giving everybody up there a treat they are both jamming and even the angels are getting a kick out of it
Let's hope that's the case and he isn't below jamming lol
I live just down the freeway from there & it took me a few years to pay my respects. RIP to a great musician!
Thxu once again for sharing... His mother should be there beside him.. she loved him first... I dont know or care to know what is in the heart of his sister, but doin the right thing should be there above anything else... Mr Hendrix thxu for the music... if there is a Heaven, I hope ur mother was able to wrapped her arms around u, once again..
STEP siste ...it's possible that a REAL sister would have behaved differently.
Hendrix, The Best ! Iconic Guitarist Of Rock Music R.I.P.
Rest in paradise jimi hendrix the best guitar player on this planet
I visited Jimi’s original grave in 1993. I don’t know exactly where the graveyard was but my friend who I was visiting in Seattle knew where it was and I took some pictures. His headstone was very small like his mother’s and it said something like “Forever in our Hearts” and it had a Stratocaster engraved in it. I remember being like Wow this is Jimi’s grave. I thought his headstone would be bigger but it was nice. That was a good time in my life and Seattle had all the grunge scene back then. I did not know his grave was moved. And oh yeah I visited Bruce Lee’s grave on that same trip. I took pictures of both graves.
👍 cool.
Which side of his Mama's stonr?
@@linbress5823 idr to be honest. I may have seen it and acknowledged it but I don’t remember exactly
So this was 1993 when you also visited Bruce Lee. Was this before, during or after his son Brandon Lee's death?
@@megatronn194 I believe it was before , I was there for New Years 92 into 93, so it might’ve been at the end of December 1992. Bruce Lee’s grave was more upscale than Jimi’s. There was a beautiful view from the hilltop of the gravesite.
His death was covered in "Autopsy: the last hours of.." On Reelz channel. They have covered a lot of the ones you have on your channel, but they don't pay tribute the way you do, visit the graves and pay their respects . I'm glad you do, it completes the story and introduces a whole new generation to true talent. Conspiracy? I doubt it. Perhaps it gives comfort to those that can't wrap their minds around losing a great talent at such a young age.
Thanks for showing Lucille's grave too. Jimi loved his mom so much but his dad wouldn't let him or his brother Leon go to her funeral, so sad😪💞 I know about Janie Hendrix and it's not good, just saying. Rest in peace Lucille💝🌹🌈🕊️
On another note, he was an absolutely beautiful baby! And to lose your mom at such a young age, she was only 32, it makes me feel so sad for him and his loss.
She was 17 when she had Jimi...and after her husband went into the Army, she commenced cheating on him, drinking, and having another four children of dubious origin...Al Hendrix, after WW2, searched for Jimi, found out that he had been "given over" to some family friends that lived in Berkeley, Cal. He went there, and took the now 3y0 Jimi (who of course, had imprinted on his new family) back to Seattle, likely to use him as a bargaining chip to get his wife to reunite...they did, for just a few years...then divorced...she married in early 1958 to some dude named Mitchell--But did die from drinking and perhaps drugging, at the age of 32...she was found in a back alley, in downtown Seattle...the Fast Lane killed her.
Thanks for sharing more of the story of Jimi. Makes me more sad for him but mad respect for him overcoming more than I knew.
I was stationed in South Korea for 3 years and upon returning to the united states we stop in Seattle Washington and had to stay for 3 days due to a mix up at the airport. The next day I woke up and took the family to eat breakfast the waiter told me that Jimi's grave was a mile down the road. It was amazing!!!!
What is beautiful is the sky above and the clouds over the memorial and wind chimes. You can see Jimmy on a cloud, playing with the wind chimes . Jimmy and his mother are together with Jimmy's father and others whether anyone likes it or not.
Thank you Scott. I was 13 when Jimi died. I saw his concert in Detroit the year before . At 12 years old he was my hero. His passing left me shattered. Your video took me back to that day, brought tears to my eyes. Thank you,
My brother went to six Stadium for the memorial service. My mom and I watch the coverage on TV. It was a sad day in Seattle
When was this please.? The memorial!
I was there in 2007. Stayed for an hour while feeling like I was on sacred ground. The lyrics and pictures on the inside panels of the pillars weren't installed yet and the guitar wasn't in the center as well. What a feeling of surrealness...🎸🎼😔❤💙💯
So Jimmy's Mom was no saint but he loved her with every fiber of his being and they may not be buried side by side on this earth but they are definitemy side by side in Heaven. May they both Rest in Eternal Peace!
Great stuff. Something needs to be done about getting his mother moved to the spot she belongs. I’m sure Jimi would want her there. Hopefully one day it will be done
Thank you! Wow, Jimi's Mom passed young herself! 33 years old. Good thing to know is, they are both together in Paradise! 🎸✝☮💒 🤎
They had to make a shrine because people were constantly trying to dig up Jimi’s grave. My uncle, who knew Jimis father brought me out to the sight when I was in my twenties. When we got to his grave sight there were areas you could see this was the case. That is why Paul Allen made the shrine as it had to be done unfortunately
Its weird knowing what i know jimi mother deserves just as much respect for giving birth to such a legend.. she'd be so proud..i think she deserves just as much a big monument
Jimi would be looking down and saying "Aww, shucks!" at the sheer amount of love he still generates 52 years, after his premature passing.
The three Experience albums remain cast in stone. As for "Machine Gun", nobody has matched that guitar solo even now. He would have loved the memorial to his mortal remains.
I used to live in Tacoma, WA with my family during the early 70s. I was fourteen, and I remember hearing about Jimi’s death on the radio. The news hit me hard at the time. Watching this video reminds me of how much I loved his music.
He sure could play that guitar, one of my all time favorites. RIP Jimi. 😿🙏🕊️❤️🌈
Oh wow Jimi mom was absolutely beautiful queen 🙏🏾. May they both enjoy their comfort with our father in Heaven 🙏🏾
Well done as always Scott. Ty for being so respectful when you visit graves and memorials.💌
Thanks for that Scott! The Memorial is beautiful, and it was made for all of his family to be laid to rest." But I agree, Jimi Hendrix's mother should be there with him...🙏❤️☮️🎸💐
Wow what a memorial! Course he’s always been considered among the greatest of all time. Died too soon…mother lovely as well. RIP Lucille & Jimi 🌺. Thanks Scott
thank you for showing these memorials and burial plots scott , i for one would never be able to visit them personally . thank you
Thank you so much Scott for the story and the original grave of Jimi. And for his mother rest in peace 💞🙏
Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏
Let me stand next to your fire....what a song. What a time it was.....✌
Great job Scott thank you, sad to see that his Dads second family totally disrespected his mom.
This was great! Huge Hendrix fan. Another talent gone way too soon from addiction. Thank you Scott!!! You never disappoint!! 😊 He was Soo cute as a baby 😍 Mom definitely needs to be resting with her son, especially if you look at all the other family members buried there.
Heck the non biological mom is there and I think it's blatantly stupid.
@@michaeldevault-edmondson531 Agreed
Jimi barely knew his half sister she was a toddler I think when he passed but she I believe has most of the rights to his music since his father passed and she also receives royalties
@@johntoomey357 But why would she not want him near his mother? It doesn't make sense!
What addiction?
Thank you so much for a wonderful and respectful presentation. I've been a fan of Jimi Hendrix for over 40 years and his music still doesn't sound outdated. I really enjoyed the footage of the front of the church. It's hardly changed at all since Jimi's funeral.
It's sad that they didn't move Jimi's mother's grave also. It's like the family has forgotten her.
Hopefully one day I'll be able to travel to see Jimi's memorial, but if I don't, you've done a great job of showing all of it. I thank God for blessing us with Jimi's presence...Even if it was for a short time. RIP Jimi. Thanks for the memories.
You’re so welcome Chuck!
Thank you Scott for showing us Lucille"s grave. They are together in heaven.
My favorite musician..
When I went to Jimi’s Grave a few years ago I was expecting it to be a headstone in the ground like when Matt Dillon Lies Next to it in the Movie Singles, but when I got there it was this grand masterpiece tribute with a guitar you see there today..
Now I understand why..
I didn’t realize he was moved..
Great Video..
Thank You Man!!!! Big Hendrix Fan!!!!! His Music Got Me Through Several Tough Times In My Life!!!!! My Eyes Are Swelling Up With Water Just Thinking How He Touched This World!!!! If The Man Upstairs Will Allow Me This Is Definately On A Before Bucket List Place!!!!!! Thank You So Much I'm Going To Pay Homage To The GREATEST ROCK and ROLL SINGER and GUITAR PLAYER EVER!!!!!!!🤙🤙🤙🤙👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤
I remember going to Tulsa Oklahoma to the hard Rock Cafe and they had a display of some of Jimmy's things his satchel that he wore at Woodstock one of the guitars that he played and also he was Cherokee on his mother's side I believe there's been eight generations in my family that live in Oklahoma I'm also Cherokee so being a fan of Hendrix and knowing that he was part of my tribe it made it that much more special
Thxs Alford Scott tq 4 sharing🤘🎸🎶🤙
I'll never forget driving down Santa Monica Blvd heading for Laguna Beach when the news came over the radio. I've never been able to get past or over it. We were stuck in quagmire traffic at a long red light on Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood, and I watched a lot of people crying just like I was. There were women passed out behind the wheel while their cars were still running, and people were literally getting out their cars and losing it. Those images and the way I felt at that moment, are forever frozen in my head. Him and Muddy Waters were and still are, my idols. Both their deaths helped mess my young head up.
My uncle said kids at his school were in shock and crying when the news broke. A sad day.
I spent a week with Jimi, Noel, Mitch back in 77', knew Noel well having been with many groups around Folkestone together with the infamous club on Grace Hill, now all is dust.
That photograph of Jimi's mothers headstone was my picture I took and uploaded to her memorial. F Y I. He was buried originally over by the Sundial on the East side of the cemetery. That is the reason they added a Sundial to the memorial. His house he grew up in used to sit across the street. But it got torn down.
Jimi was and always will be my favorite. Wonderful video Scott. You are always so respectful and honor them so wonderfully. God Bless you and everyone if your videos. Vicki ❤
I remember a specific conversation with my grandfather about "family issues" and my grandfather said that's a nice way of putting the issues is my family . My unfiltered butt then promptly listed three of the worst of his children. He said that's exactly what the paper will get told when the temper me and your father gave you lets loose on those three ."Family Issues " .
Jimi Hendrix was and will always be my favorite, i have pins from high school and 5 shirts and two posters still put away, my heart hurts for his mom she should of been there with the family know matter what went on smfh!!! THANK YOU SCOTT VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
Serving up another great one here, I’m not sure if I will ever get the chance to visit Jimis grave, but thank you for documenting this.
Jimi Hendrix Was An Awesome Guitar Player Way Ahead Of His Time Great Tribute Scott
*I have to say that Andre 3000 did Jimi hendrix justice in the biopic they did on him years back* 👏👏👏
Great guitarist 🎸
Thank god Jimmy finally has a proper resting place. I studied his playing for years, he was and is a true master of guitar and music. I remember when I got the news he was gone, I was so sad. I lost a great friend. Tam Australia
Thank you Scott for taking me with you ❤ to see this . I'm not able to due to health issues. He was and still is an amazing man with a God given talent. Kudos to you Scott . Well done !!
Thank you Scott for acknowledging Jimi Hendrix's beloved mom Lucille she was the woman gave birth to Jimi and to the world. I know about her story. She is with Jimi!
Ty, Scott... Jimi Hendrix is always 4ever the greatest guitar 🎸 player in my book 📖 👏... I live in Washington state & I've been 2 Brue Lee's grave & Cheif Joseph in Nespelem (I'm a tribal member of his tribe) Colville... RIP ☦ 🕊 💕 🙏, Jimi u were taken away way 2 soon... ✌💞🙏, Scott...
I like Jimi- He was one of a kind like Prince was. What a blow when the died. I'm 60. Head stone should say (The Jimi Hendrix experience.)
Nice Vid Scott!
So fans of Jimi know, Greenwood Memorial Cemetery has had quite the make-over…including Jimi’s mother’s grave. Originally the Sundial shown in the vid was very close to Jimi’s original grave, in fact, his gravestone was 3 graves away from it… seriously. The other two were Lucille’s and Jimi’s Grandmother & both had just brick-size headstones. The cell phone tower looking wind chime structure did not exist…
Also, Dunlop Baptist Church is in Seattle proper, not Renton. And according to the autopsy report, the red wine was found in Jimi’s lungs… by Monika’s accounts (which as you correctly pointed out changed several times) only a small amount of white wine was consumed by Jimi.
My intention isn’t to be critical, just to share information.
Oh, regarding the bronze statue of Jimi, back in the 80’s it was commissioned by the city of Seattle to honour Jimi & was originally placed in the Woodland Park Zoo. That didn’t go over too well… so it was removed. Sometime in the mid 90’s it was moved to Broadway Ave in Capitol Hill. AFAIK, it is still there tho so much has changed. I no longer live in Seattle but I was born & raised in south Seattle just south of Rainier Beach.
Thank you for the indepth look into Jimi's final resting place.
Thank you for watching Bob!
It’s a very nice cemetery. I have a few family members buried there. They definitely take care of loved ones well there are Greenwood. So unfortunate the Hendrix family couldn’t all be buried together.
That's beautiful ❤ thank u for sharing this with us. Rip Jimi Hendrix 🎸🙏💞
Odd that his dad and stepmother were moved and buried with Jimi but not his mother.
Thank you so much for doing Jimmy Hendrix! ✌️ Jimmy God bless your Mom
i moved to Seattle in 2001... And went to visit him every Sunday.. And have eaten the grass from his original grave.... With Black Star bottle caps surrounding the head marker...Adorned with flowers...Even seen Leon there. Cool.
Just left the Hendrix memorial! Thanks for narrating our visit and answering some of our questions while we were there.
Big love and respect from the UK Scott. Thank you so much for all you do
That was incredible. All I say is thank you for coming back. I'm a new follower and I missed your first visit. I seen a nickel there. Someone was in boot camp with Jimi. Outstanding.
The wind chime is nice. I have one from that designer, nice tones with a gentle breeze. Mine is much smaller though. Thanks again for sharing,...R.I.P. Jimi
bless you scott, placing a rock on the hendrix memorial!!❤❤❤ hugs and kisses 💋
Interesting to note that Jimi Hendrix shares a museum in London with one of the most supreme composers of all time -George Frederick Handel -Handel lived at the location during a substantial part of his life and Hendrix lived a couple of doors down in totally different centuries of course but Hendrix is recorded as having expressed admiration for the music of Handel so it's fitting they should both share the same place.
He lived next door in Brooke Street
You don't know how much people look forward to your video uploads cause you go where most people can't and bring them the locations they've always wanted to see themselves plus every one you post is a surprise ...keep rolling
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL GRAVE he has! A what a beautiful this video is. THANK YOU, greetings from Serbia!
Great video Scott. Maybe Jimi is actually still in the ground beside his mother and they didn’t even move his body ? They might have created a diversion by building a monument, so the fans don’t mess up his original grave or his mom’s. My guitar hero and mentor Edward Van Halen was “supposedly” cremated and his ashes thrown into Malibu harbor, when they might actually be sitting on Wolf Van Halen’s mantle, or he might not have been cremated at all and his body was buried in a secret place, the same thing might have happened to Scott Weiland of STP. The is some “weird” people and fans around that do break into graves and steal/ damage things, so a lot of celebrities are choosing to having their graves unknown to the public. I remember hearing about when Steve Gaines was killed in the 1977 Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash, he was cremated with his sister and someone broke into their grave and spilled some of Steve’s ashes all over the ground. Again, great video of a great guitarist. R.I.P. Jimi Hendrix
I like your thought let's hope that he is with his mother
You never know, especially with people’s ashes. When my uncle passed away, my aunt supposedly had his ashes spread over a nearby mountain. Recently she admitted that she had his ashes. Probably some family members she doesn’t want making issues over the ashes.
Lived here over 20 years and never got to see any of this! Thank you for doing this. Now I have a purpose to see more.
Thank you Scott for sharing this with people like myself who may never get to visit in person, rip JH and his family that have passed
This deeply effected me to see Jimi's coffin and funeral place. I had never thought about that. I have had famous friends pass and not effect me like this. This gave me chills. Then to see his Mother left alone there. And the fact that she passed so young. As did Jimmy. Thanks for doing this video. Rest in peace Jimi.
Enjoyed replay thanks for sharing your channel with us ❤❤
Jimmy was the best guitar player that lived never be any better RIP

Nice to see and hear , the couple with the acoustic , play a tribute .
Wow. Miles Davis attended the funeral. John McLaughlin took Miles to a club in Greenwich Village to hear Jimi and it blew his mind. They must have become friends. That’s so kewl the guy who recorded Kind Of Blue the single greatest album of all time and the greatest and most innovative guitarists 🎸of all time. Thanks. 👍☮️🌞🎸🎵❤️
You sure did an awesome job with this video, thanks!! I`m one of those that always wanted to visit Jimi`s memorial, but it doesn`t look like that will happen. You truly provided those of us that can`t get their for whatever reason a wonderful glimpse to his resting place. Well done!
Thanks for this brother.. your videos never disappoint. Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤️
Very interesting video. I like 3 of his songs: Manic Depression, Little Wing and Castles made of Sand. 🌹💔😢🕊
thanks for sharing this Scott! very cool and VERY much appreciated!
