Such effortless showmanship. I think it goes over a lot of people's heads even today because it doesn't even look like he's trying. It just comes out of him naturally. It was just how he felt.
What a legendary virtuoso! Loved how he cut all sound from his amp to end the song! Genius the many different ways Jimi was playing the guitar in this performance!
Watching Jimi play live like this underscores how great he was. Listening to him carry the entire performance on his back while Mitch and Noel are struggling to keep up. He was pissed at his label because they told him he would never be famous. So he hired two mediocre musicians to prove that not only could he be famous he could do it with mediocre musicians
He didn't hire them, his management auditioned them when he came to England in 1966. Mitch Mitchell was a great drummer whose style was perfect for Hendrix. Redding was hired mainly for his look as Hendrix wasn't a musical snob like the members of his contemporaries Cream who thought they were head and shoulders above everyone else when they formed shortly before Hendrix came to London. The Experience still had that 60s charm and humility, Hendrix didn't need puffed up pompous elitist big heads backing him up. Mitch and even Noel were proficient enough and the group is remembered affectionately without that air of prog rock pomposity that came into rock later when everyone started thinking they were the dogs gonads and being told they were virtuosos just because they had long hair and a beard.
We are witnessing the best ever , period !
The Goat!!!!!!
Superb reaction Philip! I really enjoyed this!!!
Wow! Pinch me! This is really happening!!!
All that sound from three people...
Always amazing watching Jimi do his thing with unparalleled swagger and cool.
Philip, man, we just have the best time on your programs! So looking forward to checking out this program and your reaction and take!!!
No pyrotechnics. No dancing girls. Just three guys changing rock music forever. TALENT!
That's just the tip of the iceberg for Jimi.

And no one had ever really played a guitar riff quite like that before and with that much technical skill. Jimi was gifted, to be sure!

Read the backstory, they re tripping balls also
You see it and hear it but how is that possible?
Those thin Rosewood necks look like toothpicks in Jimis hands
The crowd has no idea what to do
