The guitar was playing him!

Damn he shredded that tune. No one can do it better.

The first time I saw Jimi play was in1968 at Hunter College. I had a front row seat directly in front of him. 52 years later I don't think I've recovered yet! He changed my life. I was 16 years old and in need of a Rock and Roll hero that I could look up to too. Then Hendrix fell up from the sky! I was a young Black kid in the South Bronx, but when I looked at him, I knew that the sky was the limit! He gave me hope and inspiration when I really needed it! I love you, brother, and always will!

That's an awesome story, thanks for sharing! My dad also saw Jimi in 68' in San Francisco when he was 21. Just the same, he said the performance was like nothing else he had ever heard at the time, with the feedback and distortion etc. The performance of Red House he saw is what stands out the most to him, is what he has always told me.

I too am 70 years old, and I too saw him live in 1968. I was 420 miles south of you in Virginia Beach when his music set the auditorium on fire and changed my musical direction completely. I am thankful his music was all his own and therefore is timeless. I am still grooving to him. After hearing all the others--all the great ones who have come since he broke ground for them--I still resort back to him when I want to listen to pure, unique and mind-blowing innovation. Brother, I can so relate to your words and feelings about this man and his music.

@@malcolmhill7932 So great to hear from a fellow Hendrix fan, and fellow survivor of the late 20th and early 21st centuries! There is an ancient Chinese curse which says, "May you live in interesting times!". Well we certainly have, and lived to tell about it. What a long, strange trip its been! I know exactly what you mean about needing a shot of that pure creative innovation. The thing about the late 60s was that something completely new was being created. Almost every week we were hearing sounds that had never been heard before. From The Beatles to Hendrix to Coltrane and Miles, the creative floodgates were wide open. Music, fashion and the arts were a dazzling adventure that we were just the right age to take part in. Maybe I'm just a grumpy old man, but most of what I hear and see now, seems to be just a hi-tech rehash of something that I heard 50 years ago. Some of the greatest music ever made was recorded on 4 track analog machines. Now it sometimes seems that the more advanced the technology, the more the product comes out tasting like unsalted oatmeal! We are being auto-tuned to death. Maybe I'm just getting old. Anyway, we were very lucky to have experienced "The Real Deal". The truly original and innovative stays fresh, even through these "interesting times"! Be well and prosper!

Jimi rages right through this Chuck Berry Classic with an ease and power that no one else could. Not only did he not miss a beat, but included improvisational creativity and showmanship, closing with a face melting solo that brought the crowd to their feet leaving them in a state of wondrous awe for this master of the instrument.

That solo was like: Jimi, the band and A MUSIC ENTITY. He conjured it.

I'm so delighted that yet another generation can appreciate the overwhelming talent that Jimi Hendrix brought forth. The recording was originally released on "Hendrix in the West" on the Reprise label in 1972 and is no longer in print. The album has, in my view, about the best live performances of Hendrix ever caught on tape. Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) is probably all time my favorite Hendrix recording.

Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower

That is the perfect example of a screaming Strat.

Loving yr floyd, zep, sabs and Jimi reactions and perspective. As a teen, it was THIS performance of Johnny B Goode was the one that turned me onto Hendrix and what a magical world of extraordinary music it opened up to me, and now awaits you! Hey Joe (his 1st single) and this performance, were a perfect place to start your Henfrix journey. I'd definitely recommend; Purple Haze, The Wind Cries Mary, May This Be Love, Are You Experienced?, If 6 was 9, Castles Made of Sand, Have You Ever Been To Electric Ladyland, Crosstown Traffic, Voodoo Chile, Voodoo Child (Slight Return), All Along The Watchtower, Angel, Machine Gun, Ezy Ryder, Peace In Mississippi, and, In from the Storm ….for starters!

"Axis Bold As Love"...my absolute favorite Jimi song!!!!

So many greats by Hendrix. I was introduced to Jimi in his '"Band of Gypsies" LP Live at the Fillmore East in '72 and it still sounds as good as the first time I heard it. Every cut, including the classic "Machine Gun" is the stuff of legend.

You haven't seen Jimi Hendrix at his best until you've seen him do "Wild Thing" from the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. Jimi established his iconic status by pulling out all the stops in this performance (playing his guitar behind his back was my favorite part) then finishing by setting his guitar on fire. To this day nobody has come within light years of that ground-smashing performance. I'm not sure the entire video is on KZread anymore because I've only seen bits and pieces. But find it if you can, even if you watch it privately. It's worth it.

Let's just say and admit Johnny B. Goode was about Jimi Hendrix.

1983… A merman I shall turn to be. Electric Ladyland

Jimi, Jimi. The man can imprint his entire soul on every single note for precise expression. The best still, in My Old Pinion.

Every time I hear this gives me goosebumps that man was awesome

Thanks for bringing us Jimi--a guitarist for the ages!

Purple haze, Foxy lady, Manic depression, Wind cries Mary, Are you experienced.

Thank you for playing my suggestion

Out of this world playing even today. Imagine listening to this in 1969.

JIMI could make his guitar talk. Loved the reaction when he played with his teef LMFAO!!!!!! Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock

The tune "hey baby" and hear "my train"... machine gun

i like her shes think shes gonna listen to rock & roll but with hendrix its a little deeper than this

"All Along The Watchtower" is my favorite Hendrix song. Well, written by Bob Dylan, but Hendrix played it brilliantly.

Love Jimi he is #1 in my book. Frank Marino (of Mahogany Rush) has the most intense cover of "Johnny B Goode" check out the live version here on the 'tube.

I have never heard Jimi do Chuck--only on this channel! I saw Chuck in concert when I was 17. He was a bit nasty at the show he sang My Dingaling. Loved it. It in a concert hall on the beach in a small Canadian vacation town. Cheers

Jimi was a legend and also one of the fathers of Rock and Metal.

Johnny B Good can't be played any better than this.

Jimi playing guitar upside down playing left handed on a right-handed guitar awesome

"Chuck Berry was the first to try the idea out in his 1958 classic “Johnny B. Goode.” The song's story arc tracked Berry's real-life rise from a humble unknown to a world-famous superstar, and the singer used his childhood address-2520 Goode Avenue-in his protagonist's name." * Knowing you are getting in Jimi Hendrix in 2021 speaks to his immortality...not everyone gets that guaranteed. - Machine Gun..."...and oh yeah, all the soldiers fighting in Vietnam." "There's just not enough love man." (Jimi Hendrix)

If you play guitar, you will be bowing to him after hearing this for the first time.

EVERY song by Jimi Hendrix is worth reacting to. Trust me there! LOL Sadly, most of his music and videos get blocked. But you should certainly check out as much Jimi as you can. We'd all love to see your reactions so hopefully some more you do will survive. I am surprised this one didn't get blocked. You are the first reactor I have seen to do this one. And its hot as fire.

But yes, this video performance is one that really showcases Jimi's talent. The Berkeley shows Jimi seemed to be in great spirits and it shows in his performance. Other videos, like Isle of Wight and Stockholm you can see Jimi just isn't in to it, seems moody etc. Maui is another good one where Jimi seems not to be distracted by the pressures and hassles he was enduring.

@bigstU25 Oh yeah, agree on all points there man. Copenhagen is incredible! There is a four or five source merge of all the audience tapes in circulation and it really improves the sound and dynamic of that concert. Hard to believe two week after that he was having his last night on earth. :(((((((((((((((((((((((((( Newport jam Day on June 22/69 is also great footage. And of course BoG. Sadly there isn't enough Jimi video available to really do him justice. He was so dynamic live! It just sucks that some of the video that does exist of him is either poorly shot, sadly incomplete or he isn't in greatest frame of mind. IoW is great, and the ones you mention are killer, but the overall concert you can just see how is bothered or disinterested or wasn't in a jovial frame of mind, like he was at Berkeley for example. Nice hearing from someone who has more than a cursory interest in Jimi!

Btw. Love how you react to songs by Jimi, cause you are authentic. Diggin it!

showin love, respect, and still gettin it.

Jimi is the man definitely my favorite performance by him. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

Love you ScribeCash😊😍😊

Just for the sake of saying you saw it, you should probably watch his "star spangled banner" from Woodstock. It's iconic. It's what people reference when they say "yeah but no one was doing - anything - like that at the time. He changed everything in rock"

I read somewhere that over 200 covers have been done of Johnny B. Goode.

Jimi universal 🎸

Scribe! Jimi's 'Red House' live at Newport Jazz Festival. He truly does some super human stuff on the guitar... soooooo soulful 😲

Scribe I’ve been a Jimi fan and been playing guitar since 1980 and so I’ve listened to ALOT of Jimi! Here are my favorites; LIVE: Star Spangeled Banner (Woodstock) Killing Floor (Radio One) Driving South (Radio One) Red House (Stockholm) Rock Me Baby (Monterey) Machine Gun (Band of Gypsys) STUDIO: 3rd Stone From the Sun Red House Wind Cries Mary Axis Bold As Love Little Wing All Along the Watchtower Voodoo Child (Slight Return) House Burning Down

Alllthe greats die young Live Large!

His version of Born under a bad sign is incredible.

L.A. Forum, Maui... Paul McCartney said he was like a meteor that flashed across the sky...

ScribeCash You have to listen to 'Like a Rolling Stone' and 'Live at Monterrey' Jimi loved what he was playing then. It shows in the quality of these performances.

Its just so fucking great.

You said everything, my beauty! So cool to see you dancing! Why such a shy guy, a kind, gentleman, with so much talent, died so young? Shit world! JIMI, will stay the greatest guitarist, not only in Rock, but, one of the better musician, composer, of all time, with Mozart, BEETHOVEN, CHOPIN, Bach, and others! A monster! Not coming from our planet!

Gotta love Jimmy. Shortly after Chuck Berry passed away Ted Nugent as a tribute sitting next to his fireplace at home played a solo of Johnny B. Good that was unbelievable. KZread it and check it out.

Jimi was Army 101st Airborne, a veteran.

The guitar playing on this track is outrageous!

The God's had to throw Jimi Hendrix in the mix to take over totally awesome 😂

Red House, Third Stone from the Sun, Are you Experienced ?,All along the Watchtower.......... Good start !

Singing, rhythm and lead

Ah yes, the live at Berkeley show 🔥

Machine Gun Live at the Fillmore East. Others have stated but you have not done. What a earth shattering performance.

Basically, all the HENDRIX'S STUDIO ALBUMS, WERE MASTERPIECES, YOU CAN LISTEN TO THERE! BUT, there are so much other lives, you could listen TOO! LIKE I SAID, BAND OF GYPSIES, WOODSTOCK, BUT LIVE AT THE FILLMORE EAST 1968,IS CRAZY TOO! ETC.....

You might try his performance at the Monterey Pop festival or at Woodstock and while doing that check out The Who at the same festivals.

Recommendations- For your personal enjoyment: 1)Jimi Hendrix-Band of Gypsies- Live at the Fillmore East (whole album) 2) Jimi Hendrix Experience- Third Stone from the Sun- from Are You Experienced 3) Jimi Hendrix- Red House- From Jimi Hendrix Concerts Should be a good start

You should react to his original recordings like Little Wing, One Rainy Wish, Wind Cries Mary, Castles Made of Sand, it was his recording techniques that made history, his live performances usually didn't match his studio work with a few exceptions. Just buy his greatest hits CD and you will have it forever. Love your reactions.

Just saw a reaction video of Jimi doing Hey Joe at Monterey Pop, so I guess you can do that one cause its Live. You can get a Greatest hits video, and " Are you Experienced", song on a Vietnam album which you should do. Do " little Wing", from the greatest hits Album, if it's the original, which I doubt. If you can find it do "Bold As Love", from the Axis : Bold As Love album. Might be on the Greatest hits album on YT. "Foxey Lady" at Miami Pop I think bold as Love is only on Vimeo from the Album Axis Bold as Love. Of coarse the 1st song learnt of Jimi, All Along the Watch Tower, written by Bob Dylan.

After LedZep, Floyd and Sabbath, real good call to dig into Jimi... Off the top of my head.... I'd say try 'The wind cries Mary' and 'If 6 were 9' to get a wider scope of what he was up to. But there's sooooo much to choose from... I'm looking forward to hitch a ride on this journey you've begun....

Not only is Jimi Hendrix the greatest rock guitarist, he, interestingly, picked the strings of a standard guitar with his left hand with the neck in the opposite direction (somewhat similar to Paul McCartney of the Beatles) - take a look... My favorite T'giving dish used to be turkey, but since listening to your reactions, my new favorite dish is $cribecashed potatoes with rock 'n roll gravy!
