Now you know how we felt 50 years ago. He pretty much set the standard for electric guitarists ever since. In fact, there are two periods in the history of the electric guitar: before Hendrix and after Hendrix. Check out his performance of the song Wild Thing at that same concert (Monterey Pop 1967). I'm not gonna spoil it for you, but allow me to share a story. I showed that video to a colleague at work who's from China. He's never heard of Hendrix, and considered Justin Beiber to be wild and crazy music. I wish I'd taken a picture of the look on his face! He was in shock.

You have a lot of class listening to jimi it's nice to know some people are still true jimi fans.

Thing you have to remember is that no one was playing like that back in the day. Rock n Roll was still pretty new. He broke so much ground. With his music, his style, his sound.

This was from Jimi's set at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. I have his whole set on DVD. He ended that set by sacrificing his guitar at the end of "Wild thing". He got on his knees with the guitar in front of him. He drenched it in lighter fluid and set it on fire. Then he stood up and grabbed the guitar by the neck and smashed it until it broke into 2 pieces and threw them both into the crowd and walked off stage.

Up from the skies...Came a visitor who was so extraordinarily talented that the likes of his contemporaries were questioning their ability as guitarist...He was here and gone too quickly, but just long enough to record his music and I will never get tired of the listening to....RIP Jimi .🎸🎶❤

We guitar players still study the technique and theory that Jimi put together. It was AND still is ground breaking and mind-blowing guitar musicianship. He could channel the energy of the universe through his guitar. Amazing man.

My Step Dad uses to help run an entertainment company in Indiana in the 60's, got Hendrix to play before some other band. He went on stage and tore it up, he was new to the scene, my Step Dad said people were speechless through his set. Said no one had ever heard anything like it before. Said Hendrix was one of the nicest, most unasuming people he ever met.

For his life insurance. Rot in hell jefferies.

Something that's easy to miss when we experience Jimi Hendrix is that a lot of what he was doing musically with his guitar had never been done before. Since then it's been imitated and emulated a million times so it feels normal to us now. He was the guitar pioneer who showed the rest of the world what that instrument was truly capable of and some would even claim that there's nothing new since Jimi, guitar wise. It's an exaggeration for sure but he was that significant.

that performance should be part of every history class about that time period

Jimi is the pure definition of a guitar god. The man is a legend amazing

I'm watching a bunch of your videos in a row. So great. Just discovered you! Love your energy and your beautiful minds 💖

Nice to see a couple youngsters like you appreciate the roots of almost every rock star ever born after 1960 :) You should check out his protoge and bestie next, Stevie Ray Vaughn - Voo-Doo Child. It’ll blow your minds. Great reaction! 🤘

What a great reaction. More reactions of Jimi performing live plz :) lol this was hilarious

I watch this reaction at least once a week.

love this reaction - pretty much how i felt the first time i heard jimi. overwhelmed! an incredible guitarists, composer, singer and performer. the goat.

At first I thought ‘why not some studio recording’ but then: Playing with his teeth while chewing gum and playing behind his head, it came all back again. What a character! After hearing this and watching you react to California Dreaming, The House of the Rising Sun, Nights In White Satin, I definitely have to make sixty’s playlist for when I’m driving!

One of the most mesmerizing people to ever live His soul was as brilliant as his talent 🎵🕯🦋✌️

You know why Jimi's chewing gum? Because he's Jimi Hendrix and he can do whatever he wants!

Yes

Remember folks Jimmy is the greatest guitar player ever. Period. No one will ever surpass him. I’m 73 and have heard it all.

Jimi was unknown in England when he got there. He went to a Jam Night in a small club where John and Paul from the Beatles were hanging out to listen. Jimi got invited up to play with the house band and did this song. Eric Clayton was supposed to play next and refused saying "after that what the he'll am I gonna do. No".

I adore Hendrix,he is nothing less then a musical genius! It's subjective and I respect people's opinions but imo,Hendrix did shit with the guitar that will leave you speechless,the GOAT for real! Jimi Hendrix was indeed an experience!

JIMI THE GOAT , RIP. Asia you had me laughing. Great job guys

Jimi Hendrix is without a doubt the greatest rock guitarist of al time.

I Love you guys... You are so fun, to hear your reactions.. You have depth!! Hendrix was way beyond his time. His creativity and sound changed the norm in guitar playing..
