There's no one that even comes close to Hendrix... U gotta put Prince, Zack Wylde and Clapton together to even come close to the magnificence of Jimi. ❤❤❤❤
thats what I do when I record a music idea and I'm two whiskey shots in. I get an idea in my head of a verse and just go with it........its amazing what can happen when you just free style w verses and riffs. Whats eating you alive can just come out.
Timeless music, once Hendrix is under your skin he never goes away. Symptoms include the right foot tapping furiously, hands outstretched grasping an imaginary guitar, the brain twirling and soaring as he takes you on a tour of the universe. There is no cure thank god.
I wish I knew more people like you....Hendrix got me around age 7-8 when I got goosebumps all over while listening to the solo on All Along the Watchtower......the greatest
When I turned 50 I said what was I going to do for the rest of my life. Said to myself. You always wanted to be a badass guitar player. So spend the rest of your life playing. I remember saying. After I got my first electric guitar in 40 years. I said to myself. Don’t even try to play Jimi. Don’t. Everyone has. There Stevie. Robin Trower and many more. But eventually I started learning his music. And man. Crazy stuff. He was really out in space. And to learn his music is such a awesome gift from him to us. Thank you Jimi. Why I learn from the Masters.
I heard the 'Jimi Hendrix Experience' from outside the Cafe Wha? in NYC, in June 1967-- their first U.S. gig. I was a 16-year-old runaway at the time and I knew what I was hearing was going to be something special.
I was 14 had never heard of Jimi Hendrix……I was down south looking thru my cousin’s albums. Seen the Are you Experienced album, thought it looked different ….. I was looking for the Beatles White album, found it too. So I put the Are you experienced album on. First song I ever heard by Jimi was Purple Haze…….I have been hooked from the very first note….. I’m now 54….still amazed and hooked. His music is just like magic.
With Hendrix it sounds like the guitar is flowing naturally and independently of the performer. I've never heard anything remotely near it elsewhere. He is so off the charts. Pure art.
Hendrix was a very natural player in that Jimi's guitar work was never forced or pressured no matter how fast or hard he was playing. It flowed out of him naturally like water out of a spring, it just flowed and flowed.
I've been a Hendrix fan for 35 years. His music never got " played out". Somehow it always remains.... fresh and exhilarating! I'm a musician and believe me this guy was a messenger! Rest in peace Jimi... To me you will always be the best, period... " Still reining, still dreaming. For ever!!!
And as stingy as Janie is with what brilliant music is still in the vaults at least every once in a while we get fed some of that brilliance for which I'm grateful but in my view Jimi at his worst is still better than the most.
I've listened to some of his songs particularly Changes and Message to love at the filmore concert millions of times since it came out and it still baffles and amazes me. I just can't pin it down. It all makes sense somehow but at the same time they're pure anarchy..
This sounds great today. Imagine what it sounded like 50 years ago. No-one was writing and playing to this quality then or now. A complete one-off genius. The best thing to have ever happened to popular music and certainly to the guitar....what a guitar player!
He is the reason why im getting a strat, because I love hendrix and hes easily the best guitarist to live. Hes just a goddamn master. And he didnt even play very long before dying. I will never be as good but I can try.
@@pilsplease7561 Hendrix is my favourite blues/rock guitarist too, but if you're going to buy a Strat, make sure it's a good one... there's a lot of dogs out there.
@@bingsinatra5283 I did, My strats actually from the early 90;s that im buying but ive played and examined it thoroughly and talked to a couple people so im sure when i pick it up from the store which is holding it so that i can have work done etc afterwards that its going to be a really good instrument
His tone was always unmatched, but in 1969 and 1970 in particular it subtly changed into something even more sublime - a perfect balance of melody, lightness and heaviness that shone and shook in equal measures. The Fillmore East stand including this song is one perfect example of it, and First Rays/South Saturn Delta/Valleys of Neptune etc contain many examples as well. Jimi was truly the GOAT
Buddy rich once told me that he thought Mitch Mitchell was by far the best rock drummer,along w Jimi being the the best w his axe....I Concurred wholeheartedly
Fun fact: I always knew Hendrix music and all but I truly understood greatness of this man after I started playing guitar. The level of his genius is astonishing!
Yeah, something wasn't right how he passed away, and the things coming out of his mouth, just brilliant, and he was starting to try and unite black people and white people, that made him very, very dangerous to the system, to the establishment. The CIA/FBI were knocking people off left and right during this time, if they ever stopped because of the Church commission, which I doubt. His manager died in a plane explosion only 5 years after Hendrix, and he had CIA connections. Something just doesn't sit right with me.
I love Eddie Kramer's comment about how Jimi could play bass,rhythm, and lead ALL AT THE SAME TIME! Jimi is still the greatest rock guitarist that ever lived.
the version is excellent but I prefer the ezy ryder in second show of jimi hendrix live maui...in the movie there are surfing scenes shown to the solo...it really sounds like the perfect psychedelic blues/surf music
The power and passion of Buddy Miles. Much better groove drummer who was able to push the song forward in a way that Mitch Mitchell didn't. It's a shame that Jimi died before he had an opportunity to record more music with Buddy and Billy Cox...
In the years before my uncle passed, he said one of the greatest guitarist was thia guy. He spoke to you through the music, his lyrics where to keep you in check. But Hendrix will always be a standard that few.. if any make music like he did. God bless you Uncle for showing me something legendary, it'll always be the standard.
There is a concert in which jimi played a Beatles' cover of Sgt pepper, there he demonstrated his greatness. The curious issue in this story is that 2 members of the Beatles were in the concert
There is no one even today that can touch this man with his overall inventive innovative and playing abilities, but I will say the Beatles open the door with their amazing songs and harmonys and Jimi blew right through it with his amazing guitar playing!
"It goes something like this" and proceed to shred some godly sounds as if hes practiced that song 200 times.. i met this older cat who said he was a roadie for a few bands back in the 60s and 70s, setting up stage equipment n shit. He said he did a few shows with jimi. He said jimi was genuinely the nicest musician hed worked with, but he said jimi never played the same song twice. Meaning that he would either improvise his solo, or certain rifts wouldnt be same as previous sets. or the tempo would be sped up or slowed down and his band knew to adjust accordingly. Jimi could pick up a guitar and just start producing unique songs without any thought
@@notapplicable328 if you actually listen to other dates, there were moments he was kind of figuring stuff out, Band of Gypsies was quickly cobbled together so he acutally didnt have that many songs prepared.....
Tuesday after noon school day 1967 , Hendrix is gonna play at the Seattle Arena tomorrow night , so Doug and I get down there and there's hardly anybody there, soon after that the arenas full and what a performance , Doug says I can't believe we're sitting hear listening to Jimmy Hendrix the greatest ever!!!!
Jimi Hendrix said and I quote " This is a world of lead guitar players, but the most important thing is the timing and the rhythm". This is something he demonstrated and lived that very few have improved upon. You really hear that concept in his playing to the full. Still working on my Masters from the School Of Hendrix!
I love how he downplays it in the beginning. I'm paraphrasing, but the basic gist is, "uhh, kay. We have this song here we've been working on. Idk. We have a bunch of verses. Gonna just call this thing easy ryder...whatever. Kay, here it is." And then proceeds to melt everyone's face off onto a puddle next to their feet. Great sense of humor he had.
A fantastic rhythm player, lead player, great timing, great sound, fantastic songwriter, great stage presence, beautiful voice and could play complicated guitar parts and sing at the same time! He was also a competent drummer and keyboard player, oh, and quite good on the bass. Not bad for someone who started out on a broomstick and then onto a ukulele with only one string!!! WOW!! That’s what you call dedication. Bless you Jimi.
I'm a drummer and a huge Hendrix fan. I have to say, Hendrix's playing on this just inspires me when I drum along to it. Just the groove and rocking nature inspires much drumming creativity. It's inspires jazz-like improvisation, but is a straight ahead rock song. Only Hendrix. The one and only. It's exiting to hear Hendrix literally discover, expand, and develop ideas right within the existing song structure, never once coming out with less than stellar results. I know he did that on every song, but it's very apparent, and again thrilling, on this track.
Hendrix never fails to move my soul. Just imaging this in 1969 there was absolutely nothing like it. No guitar player touches hendrix. Amazingly beautiful screaming guitar. Those Marshall tubes are running extra hot. He used everything available at his disposal. And its just an incredible shame the stuff he was playing and putting out right before he died was imo his hottest stuff since band of gypsies and this tune was one of the hottest.
‘The pressure seemed to have eased off at that point. He knew he wasn’t happy with the Band of Gypsy’s, but he hadn’t got anything else going on. It was a very comfortable time for the two of us. Whence the idea came I know not-maybe the management, maybe Jimi , maybe a bit of both-but the plan was “why don’t we-form the Experience?’ “The Hendrix Experience”, Mitch Mitchell &John Platt, (printed by Mandarin Offset), 1990, at p. 140
Tripping sound, just amazing, higher and higher and higher, flying cosmic soul with a guitar to speak out how it feels. I love it since 50 years, thanks God some people understand and for those who don't well help them God. Peace and love Michael
“In a Cloud of Angel Dust….i think i see me a Freak”…..Yup, that stuff was Wicked. Watching the series, “Reacher” and in a scene they mention Hendrix. So Naturally with my ADHD, I pause the show and head down a Jimi Hendrix Rabbit Hole…. There wasn’t a Day that went by back in the late ‘70’s/Early ‘80’s that I wasn’t playing Jimi.
I find comfort in Hendrix music always have no takes me back to my youth like Hendrix I have been listening to this music all my life I'm really proud to say I listen to the music every day rarely miss a day
Jjmi Hendrix's music went beyond stratospheric. Exospheric, more like. The most creative rock guitarist to have graced this planet of soil and water. Not just a musician. A composer who by his self-admission couldn't read music. That says it all. Remarkable. 😎
Master Hendrix , Playing one of the Songs from Cry Of Love ,
The Album He was Working on When He Died!
Bass, Backing Vocals - Billy Cox
Drums, Vocals - Buddy Miles
Guitar, Vocals - Jimi Hendrix.
Damn he's good ❤
What a comet he was. Unbelievable!
He innovated blues , rock , punk and heavy metal all in one fell swoop . The GOAT IMO
grunge too check out send my love to linda ppl are saying that i actually dont know jack about grunge
And progressive rock, and Jazz fusion, and Space Rock.
P-Funk also, and Psychedelic Soul
There's no one that even comes close to Hendrix... U gotta put Prince, Zack Wylde and Clapton together to even come close to the magnificence of Jimi. ❤❤❤❤
@@markboller4313 i know you didn't just mention prince on that category lol 😝
I’m 70 now and still listening to jimi still gets the hairs standing on your back
I'm 71 couldn't agree more.🎸
My dude said: "We'll just make up the words as we go along" on a live performance..Jimi was the truth man.
fast thinking
Freestyling before it was a thing
thats what I do when I record a music idea and I'm two whiskey shots in. I get an idea in my head of a verse and just go with it........its amazing what can happen when you just free style w verses and riffs. Whats eating you alive can just come out.
He mentiones he has about 20 verses for the song
I believe this is before he laid down the studio version for the movie Easy Rider
Timeless music, once Hendrix is under your skin he never goes away. Symptoms include the right foot tapping furiously, hands outstretched grasping an imaginary guitar, the brain twirling and soaring as he takes you on a tour of the universe. There is no cure thank god.

I believe his debut as the experience was at the Monterey pop festival where he sacrifices his guitar.
@@joomomma9463 This happened just a few days before Monterey after Mitchell and Redding arrived in New York. Hendrix was already here.
@@bwanna23 maybe but it's not what Google Say's and I have never heard of him playing as the band the experience in the USA till Monterey pop.

Robin Trower my friend.
@@mikefearon5507 who took lessons from Jimi.
@@robin2012ism nobody else. I've seen SRV four times, he took lessons from Hendrix.
If there is a heaven, the first thing I'm gonna do is meet Jimi Hendrix. Then have a jamming session with him
Jimi Hendrix always sounds fresh. He really had the magic in his fingers...
The inventor of hard rock guitar.
One of the best inovative guitar greats of our time. Young guitarists need to hear him. Make new music.
Hendrix was a very natural player in that Jimi's guitar work was never forced or pressured no matter how fast or hard he was playing. It flowed out of him naturally like water out of a spring, it just flowed and flowed.
Well put!!
chanelling his own creative force.
This is perfectly put. Many rock guitarists are supremely talented, but nobody since has made it look as easy as Jimi did.
Like a Waterfall.
How, but how can you perform like this live? It is so perfect! And it is magic!
Yes please tell me, I have the studio version?
And they only practiced together as a band for just the one week leading up to the shows and put the whole Legendary 1hr and 15min set together..

Not just to you.
There are millions he touched and millions he will touch in the future.
Yes Absolutly
no question, just cold hard fact.
Was? Hmmm
His records have done well
on both sides of The
Atlantic.
A god that changed my life I'm 70 peace love
The one and only Jimi Hendrix.
I’m 64 now and I’ve been into Jimi Hendrix since I was 15 in 1969.... Love this track, it’s awesome...
Same here, 1969 but I was 8 man!
I am 62 and love this music.
I’m 15 right now
I'm 64 and saw Jimi on my 14th birthday 6-22-69 at Newport Pop in Granada Hills, Ca. Went from being a drummer to a guitarist singer in one show. Ha.
I am 40, Hendrix since I was 15 :)
I come here whenever I feel I need a sense of freedom... Jimi was something else...
Hendrix is the true story of Prometheus, "the god who came to Earth and gave mankind fire, and for that dare he had to pay with his life"..
🤯
Well played sir.
Smh man Jimi that guitar was made FOR YOU, and YOU were MADE FOR THAT GUITAR... Just sends chills up my spine....
A great live version of a famaliar song from "Cry of Love". Had the cassette in the 80s, some of his best work.
His tone was always unmatched, but in 1969 and 1970 in particular it subtly changed into something even more sublime - a perfect balance of melody, lightness and heaviness that shone and shook in equal measures.

Me either! I’m 60 and damn that Smokes!
Buddy rich once told me that he thought Mitch Mitchell was by far the best rock drummer,along w Jimi being the the best w his axe....I Concurred wholeheartedly
Buddyl Miles kicking on the drums, Billy Cox heavy on that bass, Jimi Hendrix the master BAND OF GYPSYS
So smooth. He played guitar like nobody ever will. Greatest ever no one is even close to him for soul, tone and sheer talent. Jimi forever!!
Fun fact:
I always knew Hendrix music and all but I truly understood greatness of this man after I started playing guitar.
The level of his genius is astonishing!
God damn it, he is still the best, and, by a long shot!
Jeez the drummer on that is on another level
The legend
So badass.... Sounds like he threw a little Purple Haze in there also! Ezy Ryder and Midnight, my top 2 absolute faves.
THIS SONG SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

❤
0:01 to 5:57 is the best part!
Pure Light. He wouldn't sell his soul so "they" just murdered him.
Yeah, something wasn't right how he passed away, and the things coming out of his mouth, just brilliant, and he was starting to try and unite black people and white people, that made him very, very dangerous to the system, to the establishment.

He basically made a song with his fans. That’s true musicianship. That’s true loyal to his fans.
I love Eddie Kramer's comment about how Jimi could play bass,rhythm, and lead ALL AT THE SAME TIME! Jimi is still the greatest rock guitarist that ever lived.
That's so true!
wow jimi on fire .this version smokes
Phenomenal track. Buddy Miles and Billy Cox are killing it.
Jimi doing what he does best. What a masterpiece!
He said the song has 20 verses and they will make up the lyrics as they go along.......incredible freestlying
There goes Ezy
Ezy Ryder
Ridin' down the highway of desire
He says the free wind
Takes him higher
Tryin' to find his heaven above
But he's dyin' to be loved, dyin' to be loved
He's tellin' me livin'
Is so magic
Something is forever
So he claims
He's talkin' 'bout lyin'
It's so tragic baby
But don't you worry 'bout today
We got freedom comin' our way, freedom comin' our way
How long
Do you
Think he is gonna last
Carryin' on outta gas
See all the others say
"Do what you please"
Gotta get the brothers together
And the right to be free
In a cloud of angel dust
I think I see me a freak
Hey motorcycle mama
You gonna marry me?
I'll be stone crazy
Love comin' in at you
Stone crazy baby
There goes Ezy
Ezy Ryder
Ridin' down the highway of desire
He says the free wind
Takes him higher
Tryin' to find his heaven above
But he's dyin' to be loved, dyin' to be loved

Mo Love Buddy miles on drums
Mitch was Jimi's best drummer though, by far.
Exactly right.
Alex +Not even close. This must be too Black for ya?
Jimi was grasping the future and showing us but we are not rheir yet......
Jimi is so freaking amazing. After all these years, he is still, absolutely the coolest guitar player that ever walk upon this earth.
On this day, 50 years ago, Jimi left us. But his music will never die.
The stuff he plays in between songs while he's just fiddling with the guitar is so good my face melts off every time, this man is a force of nature
In the years before my uncle passed, he said one of the greatest guitarist was thia guy. He spoke to you through the music, his lyrics where to keep you in check. But Hendrix will always be a standard that few.. if any make music like he did. God bless you Uncle for showing me something legendary, it'll always be the standard.
Everyone goes on about the Beatles and the stones...but this man was arguably the greatest influence on rock music ever!!!!!!!
YEP
There is a concert in which jimi played a Beatles' cover of Sgt pepper, there he demonstrated his greatness. The curious issue in this story is that 2 members of the Beatles were in the concert
Apparently, Paul McCartney marveled at how Jimi learned Sgt. Pepper so fast and played it live just two days after hearing it for the first time.
There is no one even today that can touch this man with his overall inventive innovative and playing abilities, but I will say the Beatles open the door with their amazing songs and harmonys and Jimi blew right through it with his amazing guitar playing!
I love the story on how he jammed with Cream for the first time. Plugs into Jack Bruce’s bass amp and plays Killing Floor he was “a force of nature”
One of the best ever hard rock songs. KING JIMI!

I find comfort in Hendrix music always have no takes me back to my youth like Hendrix I have been listening to this music all my life I'm really proud to say I listen to the music every day rarely miss a day
All is I can say is "Wow 🎉"
Jimi played guitar in a magical way .
Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Miles and Billy Cox. The Power Trio!! The first super group.
Arguably one of the best songs ever laid down--- damn man... 😂 i feel ya.Jimi! Nice hymn...
Drummer deserves some credit as well. Fucking masterpiece of a song
this whole 'Machine gun' album is so freakin' goooood
Jjmi Hendrix's music went beyond stratospheric. Exospheric, more like. The most creative rock guitarist to have graced this planet of soil and water. Not just a musician. A composer who by his self-admission couldn't read music. That says it all. Remarkable. 😎
One of the great guitar solos of all-time.
Hendrix was God playing with us.
😉👍 ....🙏
