Hi Harri. I've noticed recently you only do reactions that have been suggested through your Patreon. I dont even bother to make suggestions anymore and frankly I'm watching you less and less these days. Only gems like this one will cause me to watch you anymore. Very sad bc I really like you but it's so glaringly obvious that you're not paying attention to the tens of thousands that have supported you by just watching your channel from the start and subscribing. Everytime I click your channel now it's the same thing..."this was requested by my Patreon so and so". It just feels like a 'Let them eat cake' kind of thing. Just being honest. Sorry.

I'll break it down to you gently.Without these patreons,i probably wont be able to do these videos.Reactors nowadays hardly make any monies from videos,because the record companies block all the avenues.Meanwhile,most of us work 7 days a week working long hours to bring these videos.The reality of it is we have to make a livinh and need support. I still take suggestions from non pateons,but the priority has to be with the patreon cos they are the ones who support me.It might sound harsh or like i dont care about others,i do,but if these guys are paying me with their hard earnt money,they deserve priority,don't you think? And as you said,they do bring us gems😀 I have discovered some amazing stuff through these guys. I'll tell you a funny thing even some of my patreons complain i take too long to get to their requests 🤣😂..But i will try even harder to bring more videos from non patreons. I will start by making Saturdays and Sundays a day for non patreons ONLY.So i look forward to your first requests. You are all important to me and i appreciate you all.Hope i can keep everyone happy ✌🏾🖤

As a Patron of Harri's for the latter of 5 months and a subscriber from the beginning, I decided to support Harri so he can keep this wonderful community of music lovers going. I believe people are attracted to his platform through the patrons requests and his wonderful and genuine reactions to them. And I personally don't mind when non-patrons reach out to me and make suggestions as well. So if you ever have any suggestions I'd be happy to collaborate with you or anyone on great suggestions!

@@HarriBestReactions Hi Harri. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I understand economics and somewhat understand KZread and copyrights. Other reactors have said similar things. I was mearly pointing out that you have tens of thousands subscribers here and I felt like you are totally ignoring them by only playing patreon requests. You have a few that dominate your requests. I understand that if this is your fulltime job you need to go where the money is. I was always taught to never forget where I came from. This has nothing to do with MY requests. Most times, others have already made excellent requests and I simply like theirs in hopes to see you do it. Like I said, I enjoy watching and hearing your breakdown of songs I love and some I've never heard. That's why I subscribed. I wish you well in your endeavor and nothing but the best for you personally. ✌🏼🇺🇸

greatest guitarist of all time. R.I.P JIMI.

Berkeley Community theater 1970. Jimi is the MAN! Billy Cox on bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums. ✌🎸🔥

The most human tone on the guitar. He was way ahead of his time. He destroyed rock and roll, then put it back together. Took blues into the space age.

Saw him from the second row in the Old Atlanta Auditorium and again in Jacksonville Coliseum. Yeah, he's the only one. Thank you, Sir Harri, for never missing the greats.

Jimi was other worldly! Both my mom and dad agreed on one thing even though they hated each other and that was Jimi is the greatest guitarist ever.✌🏻✨

It is surreal to hear an Icon like Jimi Hendrix to be doing a song by another Icon, Chuck Berry. What a fantastic way to show appreciation and respect. Thank you for reacting to this fantastic hard rockin' song. I saw Jimi live when I was just a teen, he was amazing. I have also seen Michael Jackson and Prince live but as impressed as I was with each of these artists I have to say when it comes to having a connection with the audience and making it impossible to think about anything else, Freddie Mercury is the one who cleared the bar for me. I never was able to see Elvis Presley live but I am sure he was right up there with the rest of these guys. Sadly, they are all gone now, so seeing any of them again is not a possibility but I do have my memories to keep my thoughts warm.

I agree Harri. This is the best version of this song I've heard by anyone. And I think the best of the versions done by Hendrix--but maybe I think that because this was the first version I ever heard him do (back in 72). Amazing.

My brother... Get yourself ready to have your ears be blessed by the amazing Jimi Hendrix 😉❤️😎🤘 #NYGenXBikerLady

Thank you Harri for mentioning what it means to be the first at something. And how groundbreaking and tough that really is. I love Stevie Ray Vaughan but I hope all of his fans were listening. Hendrix is still the G.O.A.T.✌️

Here here Uncle Phil! Wholeheartedly with you on this. Many greats where influenced and inspired by Buster aka Jimi. Long live the legend!

Amazing that it is just ten years or so after Chuck's version that everyone watches. Hendrix is from a different Universe. Thanks for this....

Harri, Jimi's "Purple Haze" and "Foxy Lady" will blow you away!

I like this better than Chuck Berry's original. This is the first time I've seen this version. Jimi sure did embellish the original a lot.

When Chuck Berry heard Jimi’s version , he said “he played the hell out of that song”

This is from the Jimi Plays Berkley film. May 1970 I believe. Chuck had no problems with any of it once the royalties showed up.

And no one has played it as well as that since. He was a once-in-a-100-years guitar genius.

Never heard any version that can compare to Jimi's.

Jimi was the master of feedback as shown by this clip of him at Berkeley.... the only time I've ever seen him without a mustache

The best johnny b goode ever. I remember 1st seeing film in 1975. At 13 years old.(with head helper) Jimi plays Berkeley.

Great for you to react to him. He is the goat. Chuck Berry was asked one time what he thought of Jimi playing Johnny B.Goode.He said he played the hell out of it. Jimi at the Cafe Au Go Go 1968 is an excellent jam.

I saw a clip of Chuck Berry years ago where he said of Hendrix, something like "He played, am I allowed to say this on TV? he played the f***ing (bleep) hell out of that thing (guitar)"

Our darling Jimi was just struc by lightning too many times is all, heard this dozens of times, makes me cry every time

He channelled the energy of the universe in its perfect healing form

Jimi is my absolute favorite guitarist.

He was the ' GOAT ' .

Back in about 1975, I was a teenager who had hardly listened to rock, and who had never hear of Jimi Hendrix. I went with a mate to the pictures. I had no idea I was about to become captured by the spirit of Jimi Hendrix. I sat transfixed through a two-hour documentary on Jimi Hendrix featuring footage of his live performances, and my life changed in an instant forever.

I’m not sure if you have heard or reacted to Jimi doing killing floor live. Brian Jones introduces him. Jimi just burns the place down. Blows my mind every time I hear it.

What's great about that performance is that most people in the audience had never heard of Jimi, let alone heard anything quite like his style of electric guitar. That had to be truly mind blowing for those people to see this unknown guy come out onstage in the dark playing with this insane style that they never could have imagined before.

Not just the best version of this song, but one of his best performances ever, period. I've watched this more than any other video out here.

Always my favorite guitarist

Saw Jimi in Stockholm -69 and -70 The best ever,,

This is why Jimi is considered the number one guitarist of all time. Mind blowing!

G.O.A.T.

I like your channel because your replies to viewers and your honest reactions. God bless.

An inspired Jimi like he was here, has no equal. Not even close.

Jimi died in 1970, but his spirits lives on. I was fortunate to experience him only 10 feet away in a concert in Aarhus, Mainland Denmark in 1967. The moonlanding and my first ride in a Tesla doesnt compare to what an impression he left in me. 😎

May 18th 1970 Berkeley Ca, Glad you enjoyed it 👍👍

He crushed it 👍

One things for sure my friends….there will never ever be another….how could there be ?

Nope there never will be. He's the originator of playing like *_that._*

Jimi was such a loss to the world when he passed, he was a force of nature that couldn’t and still hasn’t been topped.

it's called break neck speed, cause Jimi's gotta Go, Go, Go, Go Jimi Go, Go, Go🤩🤩🤩 Amazing.

You pause at just the right time because my heart rate was far too fast for my age! And I kept holding my breath! LAWD I’d never heard this either!

Last word No one can touch Jimi Ask clapton Ask Townshend Ask Jack Bruce 50 years & no one comes close. No one ever will.. RIP jimi Respect If i don't meet you no more in this world..................

There will only be one Jimi Hendrix Hes the MAN A guitarist guitarist AMEN UK..

Remember "all along the watchtower" then jimi did it. Wow.!!!

He was a genius on the guitar.

Hello Harri Rock & Roll 🎸🤘 Jimmy's favourite Guitarist was Terry Kath...from CHICAGO. You've gotta give him a listen, "I'm a man" cover from The Spencer Davis Group..Live in Ca. Is Dope!

Love me some Jimmy..

Anyone who likes Chuck’s version better is really not paying attention. And I’ve liked Chuck for 60 years.

I still get chills at that note he hits in the 2nd solo @ 2:38.

@marcwelstand6791

At last! Someone else has picked up on that very note. It sounds like an injured animal. I've always thought that if I had to name the single best guitar note ever played it would be that note. And I say that as guitarist myself. Also, at 1.54 while he's singing about a train, the F7th with a sharpened 9th chord sounds like a train bell. Awesome. I'm from the UK but I've visited Hendrix's grave and Experience Hendrix in downtown Seattle. I was looking at possibly this very guitar in a glass display case, my nose pressed up to the glass just trying to spot a finger print. I must have looked a right lunatic but I didn't care.

Johnny Winter's 1984 rendition of Johnny B. Goode on youtube is amazing as well.

As Jeff Beck has said, when Jimi played a gig it was like a small atom bomb going off.....but in a good way! This has to be that. Chuck Berry who wrote the song said that Jimi quote, 'Played the living crap out of the song.' Yep, sure did! We do not see just before Jimi starts playing this, but he says 'What the hell, let's do a little loose jamming with Johnny B Goode.' Loose jamming?! Strewth! I can tell you, when you saw Jimi and The Experience perform live, you have been Experienced. Howlin' Wolf's Killing Floor was the usual warm up number. WOW! Been there, done that, more than once. Jimi was beyond incredible. He was on another plane and light years ahead of all other guitarists. When Jimi died in 1970 aged 27 I wept. The greatest loss to music of a generation. I often think that Jimi was the original Johnny B Goode. In fact he would sometimes turn up to Olympic Studios with his guitar in a gunny sack! There is a photo that I saw of him doing just that. There was a great deal of footage that was aired on television at the time of his death. But a lot of it I have never seen again. For example his one man stage show at The Hammersmith Odeon, with what appeared to be his Woodstock white strat and outfit, and a small Marshall practice amp, I have never seen since. That was incredible........film footage from high level showing the kids, about four hundred of them, swaying like water below to the music.

I can't imagine how there could be a heavier version of this song insane!!!!!!!!!

HarriBest: Yeah, man. I know you're a very sensitive person. This version of Johnny B.G. it's the best, the most powerful and special ever made. Oh My Gosh, what energy and dominion flows from hands and Jimi's guitar, DESATANDO TODOS LOS CABALLOS SALVAJES Y LOS MAS IMPRESIONANTES GRITOS DEL ROCK 'N' ROLL. This is JM Traffiquest writing from 🇪🇸 SouthernWest Spain. I just was 17 yrs old when Jimi died. LONG LIVE USA !! THANK YOU FOR HAVE GIVING TO THE WORLD A PHENOMENON LIKE JIMI HENDRIX 🇺🇸 !! THANK YOU TO BLACK PEOPLE !! LONG LIVE AMÉRICA !! JIMI HENDRIX FOREVER 🇺🇸 !!

At that moment, he was Johnny B Good. Hard to beat this.

Sensational,but he made it look so easy,Noel & Mitch weren't too shabby either!😎😎

jimi live at the filmore 1970,machine gun the guitar solo will leave your jaw dropping!!

Billy Freekin Cox on the bass.

Is he playing a right handed guitar upside down? It certainly appears that way! What an amazing performer! 🌺✌️

Yep thats a right handed stratocaster, upside down. Things back then weren't like they are today, left handed guitars did exist, but were usually a custom order. There was no giant big box stores either, finding a left handed guitar in a store was like finding a needle in a haystack, in a blizzard, in a tornado. It just didn't happen. So what we lefties did was find a right handed guitar we liked, then restrung it left handed, reset the intonation, string and pickup heights, and got on with it.

Yes but restrung and the pickups were left in their original position and height giving him a more unique sound.

Excelente reacción, Hendrix siempre será el mejor.

chuck reacted to Jimi's version and said " Jimi played the hell out of it! ".

The Great Jimi Hendrix. Simply the best to ever pick up a guitar. End of story.

Sadly most of Jimi’s best stuff is not on KZread ~ wherever you have to go to hear them, check Voodoo Chile (part 1), Third Stone from the Sun, 1983 … a merman I will turn to be, Hear My Train a Coming live on the Rainbow Bridge album, Machine Gun live on the Band of Gypsies album

Jimi can make anything sound good! Look what he did for the national anthem! I got some good future requests coming from Jimi!

I was fortunate enough to see him in April, 1969 - I was transfixed the entire concert. I saw a lot of the greats, but seeing Jimi was the highlight.

Jimmy lit it up. Speaking of which, you should check out his performance of Wild Thing at the Monterrey pops festival. He literally lit it up too.

Great reaction, Harri. You were hyped up weren't you? Think of your heart 🤒 Great version of this tune but Chuck's is still the best. I saw Jimi several times in the 1960s when he came to the UK. His shows were full on especially when he got his Marshall amps.

I loved & still love Jimmy! We always played some of his tunes at our parties, we had 6’ black light posters of Jimmy, Janis J, The Beatles on our walls to add to the ambience!!🤣 We grew up with such good music & musicins - many who left us way to soon 😢 Thanks again Harri, I think I’ll go & play Purple Haze & 🦊 lady to start my day !💜😻🇨🇦☮️ All due respect to the fantastic Chuck Berry 🎸🎶💜

Jimi Hendrix and Mitch Mitchell what a deadly combo!

Met him at Ted Nugents house. 1970. Rock and Roll children!

His guitar is still recovering to this day.

Can’t believe you never heard this. This was the first Hendrix album I ever got back in 1972 when I was a young lad also, check out blue suede shoes, Loverman, the queen, Sergeant peppers, and of course voodoo child freaking killer.

HarriBest: de todos los canales made from USA de First React, el tuyo, tu persona es de los que me parecen más intelligent and sensitive. I can apreciate your voice, your calm intelligency in many details. Yo nunca dejo de impresionarme de la inmensa grandeza de ese momento en Berkeley 1970, covering that classic rock'n' roll piece. Enorme, qué fuerza de sonido. Que salvaje era en los inicios de un solo. ¡Como le sonaba de reventona y de bien aquel dia la guitarra! So, what a simple and full DOMINION. He seems to do it so easy. El domina una bestia. Él se complace en hacer gritar a la bestia, y Jimi siente un gran placer. This is LB Writing from 🇪🇸 SouthernWest Spain. Long Live USA! Thanks to USA for Have Giving to the World the Figure, the Best, the Only One >>> JIMI HENDRIX. Thanks to Black People. Jimi FOREVER. 🇺🇸 JIMI THE GREATEST ONE !!

I bet Chuck loved it. I'm sure someone let him hear it.

Simply a natural talented genius. A power. I believe that if he had lived to this day, today, even though he would have been almost 80 years old, he would have taught the younger generation.

Clapton once told a story about Hendrix . He said he passed by guitar shop , and happened to spot a left handed strat. So he bought it to give to Hendrix. He went to a club and he saw Hendrix at the other side and Hendrix saw him. He was going to give him that strat. He couldn't give it to him that night. The next day he heard that Jimmy had died , and Clapton was left with the strat he was going to give him .

Imagine if he were still alive, and how many more hit songs?

Jack Bruce from cream Said of Jimi...he wasn't a Guitar player but a force of NATURE. AMEN RIP Jimi..

Jimi in electrifying form and totally mesmerising, an unforgettable guitarist and perfpormance. The original 'Voodoo Child' single in 1969 sadly dosen't seem available for listening on uTube, it was a landmark release and still so impressive today.

I was waiting on Jimi’s guitar to set fire in the middle of the song.

BILLY COX ON BASS.. check out band of gypsys & Woodstock..... Isle of wight Should have been with Jimi From the start... A realy nice guy 81 & still rockin the bass Respect

I believe this song was first made available on the "Hendrix in the West" LP. All of the songs on this LP were just phenomenal and yet, this album is hardly known. Jimi was so far advanced ... so far ahead of his time. Thanks for sharing.

IT'S THE BERKELEY UNIVERSITY CONCERT! TRY TO LOOK AT THE COMPLETE PERFORMANCE ! ESPECIALLY PURPLE HAZE, VOODOO CHILD, AND HEAR MY TRAIN A' COMING! IT'S COMING FROM ANOTHER GALAXY! HE WAS IN A REALLY GOOD MOOD AT THAT PERIOD! AND IT'S NOT LONG BEFORE HIS DEATH! THE BAND WAS AT HER TOP LEVEL!

An incredible performance by an amazing trio,if you think it sounds like the seventies don't forget Jimi died in 1970,I remember that dark day well

Thank you, Harri, it's something entirely else again, innit? Floors me, rips me up in pieces without fail. Cheers, mate, I hope we can share more of him, maybe Janie'll buy a clue and let more out. Always enjoy your taste and that of the besties, looking forward to what may come. All the best, ciao, bello. ;>D

I agree

MERCI

I don't think anyone has squeezed notes out of a guitar like that ever, the 3rd time he did it in the song it just blows my mind even after all along the watchtower solo and other songs of his this one just blows my mind even more, not many people can express themselves like that..

Left handed players mystify me. Can you imagine how wild this must have sounded back then? Unreal! 🤎

The holy grail version

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Damn, even with his teeth he doesn't lose the rhythm

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I REALLY LIKED CHUCK BERRY, IT'S THE FATHER OF ROCK 'ROLL! BUT, JIMI MADE AN ATOMIC VERSION! 😂😂😂😂AND THE SOUNDS! THERE ARE COMING FROM ANOTHER GALAXY! EVEN TODAY, WITH THE CURRENT ÉQUIPEMENT, ANY GUITARS ON THE WORLD CAN FIND SOME SOUNDS! JIMI IS, AND WILL STAY THE BETTER FOREVER! KISSES FROM FRANCE 😂🇫🇷✌️😘

Although it doesn't have a video you need to check out Midnight from his War Heroes album. Mind blowing what he did on guitar back in the 60's and I will also add I can think of no other guitar player who was as influential and a following as Jimi Hendix. He has been dead 52 years and guitarist still copy and pay homage to him some even during their own shows. Haven't seen that for other guitarist by in large. BTW You show watch Jimi Hendrix movie documentary by Warner Bros and check out Machine Gun. Whew

Billy Cox on bass. He's 82 now and still kicking! #Peace!

Sure that country boy can play.

In my home town in NC there was an old Blues player named Cool John Ferguson who played in similar style to Jimi.You should check him out on youtube.It was almost like seeing Jimi

By the way, in the audience at this performance in London. Was, Paul McCartney, Peter townshed, Eric Clapton, mick jagger, to name a few. FYI.

Some people don't know was jimi played lead and rhythm guitar. Oh by the way he was singer too.
