It's great to see a reaction to a Jimi Hendrix song that is not the one of the same three songs everybody reacts to. We need to here much more of Jimi Hendrix because he's got a much bigger portfolio than most people realize.
I remember listening to this song for the first time in the summer of 1972 and it changed my life musically forever; it just blew my mind. I was 11 years old and asked my friend where I could see him. Found out he had died a year and a half before that day...
Specifically from the elusive Berkeley show 1. Same show he laid down the most epic hear my train a comin ( the electric church version from BLUES compilation album). The video of that one is on the DVD tho. Wish they'd release both shows entirely.
John, I could write a book on Jimi !! I've been into Jimi since 1970, I was 12 years old, I AM NOW 65. I dont care what anybody says, when it comes to Jimi Im hardcore Man, SRV, Robin Trower , Frank Marino... yawl could not hold a candle to Jimi Hendrix talent wise, style coolness and or otherwise Axis Bold as Love!! The Man had it and no I dont need to 'turn Him into a God" , He was THAT good !! Jimi had more talent in the first digit of his little finger than all of the abouve and more ever will !! When Jimi played "he took you somewhere", I've seen Trower 3 times, good decent,Ok, didnt take me much of anywhere, Carlos Santana did, Frank Zappa did... Frank Marino stiff a board on stage, knock offs Man, git your shit together, that is your own thing. NOT copy and paste. Stevie Ray V. Used to dress up as Hendrix for Halloween. Big deal !! I wore headbands and cool hats when I was 16, Big deal ! Ha!! Stay Groovy Stay Free. Play on Jimi !!
Peter Tosh included a unique take of "Johnny B. Goode" on his "Mama Africa" album. The title track is a good intro for those unfamiliar with Peter's yin to Bob Marley's yang.
I was 9 in ‘67 when I became experienced…thx to my mom. The album was an Xmas present by request. Still have it and never looked back. That was it for the Dave Clark 5 and the Beatles and ironically the Monkees, whom Jimi toured with shortly before the audience mismatch became apparent. Love this guy. Managed to get to Renton and pay homage to the guitarist that literally changed my life. Thx for everything, Hendrix. It’s a cryin’ shame you had to leave so early.
This was the Hendrix track that smacked me in the face when I was very young (mid 70's), exploring bands and just starting to play guitar. I knew who he was and had heard some but after hearing this I moved on from Beatles and Zeppelin and started buying anything I could find by Hendrix. Even though obviously a cover, still consider it the track that symbolizes everything about Hendrix.
The ATOMIC VERSION, of the real first rock song in history (normally, all the bands covering that, are playing with 2 guitarists😂 Jimi is playing the rythmic guitar and the lead guitar alone, and faster than anyone else😂it's unreal)....You said everything when you said: "when you see Jimi playing, you need to take your guitar to play!" Except, 5 minutes later, when you realize it's just a disgusting monster, and you will never play like him, you stop playing😂, and personaly, i don't touch the guitar anymore for 6 months😂😂😂😂Too disgusted! And then, i listen to Jimmy Page, or David Gilmour, and once again i'm disgusted😂😂😂😂😂😂Shit life.... Peace from France bro ✌️

Jimi. Nothing else needed. He was amazing

The thing that amazes me is how far ahead of his time he was, sounds fresh even now, he was otherworldly! Cosmic jimi✌️☮️
🎸I thought Jimi’s Strat was going to catch fire ! 🎸
This is the version from In The West. Awesome!

"Hendrix in the West" album
I think it's from "Jimi Plays Berkely" originally
Back then I wore out 3 West albums.
GO GO!!! GO JIMI GO!
Jimi B. Goode!!🎸🔥🔥🔥

Dig your comment man. Fan of Jimi since 1970 too! No one like him since. Like him before was Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss.
From Australia 🇦🇺 ♥️ 🙏
And he made it look so easy..
no words ,,,, awesome

Peter Tosh was gangster. Downpressor Man & Reggaemylitis🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jimi!!!!
This is Johnny B Goode! Jimi would turn up to Olympic Studios in London with his guitar in a gunny sack.
Jimi was such a badass!
If you want to approach his tone, turn volume down on guitar & every knob on amp to 10. Then adjust volume on guitar.
Also total control of feedback……. The greatest Artist of any sort of all time GOATsquared…… I Love Jimi Hendrix

Chuck berry killed by friendly fire lol Jimi goat don't ever forget it
Jimi is the best. No question. Pali Gap id an instrumental jazzy number you would like. Drivin South, Hear My Train a Comin are all awesome.

Hello you're nice Guy..with beautiful haïr..!! Hendrix ...? Thé bBest in the Sky of Rock⭐⭐🌟🔥
Papa' Hendrix Eternamente
Dig how loose his picking hand is!
Best version ever. The audio and visual is a bit out of sync in this video, but you get the idea...
Hendrix makes you want to pick up the guitar immediately or never touch it again. :)
Baddest electric cat of them all and best version of this tune ever!
Try Johnny Winter "Highway 61" album version. Slide guitar virtuoso..
That’ll make that hair stand straight up on your neck, and if it doesn’t it’s because you’re dead.
Jimi be good
... в космос ...
Chuck Berry must have been ... what the .... HUH ??
That was from Woodstock
No Berkeley. Woodstock was a year before and outside in the daylight
haha there ya go!
Unsurpassed.
And to think this was a jam he decided to do in the middle of his set!
Been trying my best to get others to find this one!
It's on the Live at Berkley DVD.
EL N 1
This is great but I like Frank Marino's version more.
I am a huge Frank Marino fan, but this is the shit!
Frank Marino version is my favorite, but you can't say Jimi didn't give us the recipe to rock!!
@@patrickwilliamson1153 Oh of course. Jimi is the one who started it all. Without him there might not be Frank Marino.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
idk bout y’all but listen closely the tone he’s singing in sound punk rockish is it just me or?
so fun ?
Chuck Berry best on this one!
Yeah right 😂
