Crazy how as of this year he’s been gone 50 years. He has been dead half a century and is still considered to be greatest guitarists to have ever lived. What a legacy.
Amen
Amen
One of the best guitarists indeed.
Nobody can touch his creativity
There has to be new information since this was recorded a while ago. Hoover did screw American people over by meddlesome mischief. 2pac said he didn't know how but he was predicting things too, but we (as fans of her son 2pac) lost his mom recently and I feel like she went too soon as well. Wait til we hear how DMX really passed. I think his contract was almost over too right?
I am quite honored to say that my wife and I saw Jimi in Houston on June 6, 1970. It was an experience that has been an influence on me my whole life. Thank You Jimi
Indeed
he died just a few miles from me and appeared in my Acid revelry that night.
James Elmore how great for you two!
Awesome
Way back when he was starting out a hippie group woods pa had him and others on flatbeds wow what 3 days I’ll never forget
His guitar and his voice did more than make sounds, they spoke to your soul.
Yeah they did! And still do!
Ironically, Jimi was more popular after his death. I remember going to junior high. All of a sudden, he became well-known.He was more popular in Europe when he was alive.😮
Absolutely.
I am 70 and no one that didn't live during this ERA knows how powerful real music was. Loved my ERA. I was able to see these bands live amazing during a time that this country.
I'm 70 as well. I met Hendrix in 1968. Yes, the music during that time was phenomenal. Hendrix was the best...ever.
I am 67
I saw him in Copenhagen 21. maj 1967.
The young people in my family always say when we talk about music in my youth, uncle you are a lucky man.
I must say I am not a jealous person but I am jealous of you. This is the music I still listen to today. Unfortunately I was born at the end of this incredible era. Right before the demons completely took over.
@Felicia Zte - Me, too, girl. We had without a doubt, the best music ever. I live in Port Arthur, TX. I go by Janis Joplin's old house every day; it has a historical marker in front of it now. I think about her and Morrison and Hendrix every time I pass it.
Felicia Zte ...70s was the real fun, rock, disco funk, punk, new wave and the first years of the 80s.
When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace

True
Jimi was an amazing human being
Leonard Duke The Emergency room Doctor said that the cause of death was "Drowning from Red Wine"
...YES...
@No Calvinism 100% My brother!!!
What a terrible loss... A guitarist so ahead of his time... R.I.P Jimi Hendrix you still influence musicians everywhere in the world even from the grave...
How many Hendrix fans know that there is a tribute house in Vancouver, where his grandmother once lived..
The fact that he personally said I will not live to see 28 was chilling to Mi 😔
Watch the other documentary on his final 24 hours -- he knew he was being hunted and his life at risk due to what the Nixon presidency engaged in and the FBI seeing him as a threat.
When you shoot up heroin and see your friends die left and right, that kinda stuff comes to you
@@alaskawilderman Juice WRLD predicted his own death. I bet Trump had him killed.
@21st Century Schizoid Man i think he was being sarcastic mr roach dogg jr
@@alaskawilderman Nixon and The FBI closet cross dresser didn't respect the US constitution and were un-American in that regard.

Can you imagine that once upon a time Hendrix and Beatles best psychedelic music was on the charts simultaneously! How far we've fallen. Today pop stars can hardly be called musicians.
No talent today- Lazy- computer generated can’t even create a simple guitar solo.....
Also, take note of this:
The Beatles and Hendrix at the time we're young people. They were in their 20s and doing ageless, classic music that would inspire a lot more genuine artists such as the English bands - Queen, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd - and noteworthy guitarists.
This generation of self-acclaimed musicians, on the other hand, rely on auto tune and mumble raps. The songs also cover immoral things like taking drugs and having sex. Heck, they top the charts too.
the musical nitemare began with madonna...
Yeah I remember when you actually had to have a talent to be on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine
paxwallacejazz Lady Gaga. Justin briber what a fucking joke !
1970 you died and we are still listening Jimi.
@GuildF40 - AMEN.
im still alive. Shhhhh
I heard he died from a syphilis sandwich
GuildF40 Yep!
Jimi is alive he lives in the North Pole ..he is linked up with the white polar bears now
It must have been amazing for those who got to see him perform live. I think his music was incredible and he was a kind soul. It seems there was a lot of greed and corruption around him and he was still just a kid. At least he was on earth for us to enjoy and his music lives on. RIP.
I saw Jimi at the Beachcomber Club in Nottingham, no raised stage, no security. I was almost on the set with him.
Ya lucky bastard ..I bet it must b hell of a glimpse ..tell me Sir Which year was it ?
What a great name for a club
@@adamphaomei4984 january 14th 1967
Rumours have it that he was born in gainsborough Lincolnshire 😯?
Oh my god Please please tell me where the beachcomber is located today in Nottingham? Or at least its former location today..would be really grateful for real. .
Poor Jimi... he died the same age as Janis Joplin. Watching them perform together would have been incredible.
The 27 club: Hendrix, Cobain, Janis, Amy Winehouse, Jim Morrison, and many others.
@@nathankrush3289 Brian Jones from the Stones died when he was 27.
Died the same exact year too
there is footage of Jimi with Janis and Jim Morrison singing Red House
JIM Morrison also.
Jimi came from another dimension to show us the magic of LOVE
nobody can kill that
He did the job
I do not forget
I hear the sounds , I hear the words , I see the colors
Everything is aulwright
Man I would of loved to see him play. He’s one of greatest players I think. No other person can make sounds on a guitar like him.
Jimi, now gone 50 years, may he fly with the angels forever. 💕
Rest In Peace Jimi Hendrix.
Chris Mc Evoy well if Jimi Hensrix repented to God and ask Jesus Christ to come into his heart then Jimi Hendrix shall inherit eternal life but I doubt it that Jimi is in heaven because he died of a drug overdose and I do not think that Jimi believed in Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour
Depression is a BITCH. More than one shrink told me it was a miracle I was not addicted to something.
I was fifteen when Jimi Hendrix died i love him RIP
@@melissaonorati2243 YOU DO NOT KNOW! So easy to judge others. The time before death, only God knows. Life is hard enough, without being in the spotlight.
@partyguy35 your delivery was crude
Jimi really was in a whole other league, an absolute genius
I remember in the late 90's or early 2000's a National news program reported on this very subject publicly for the first time. The female newscaster mentioned the first responders recollection of Jimi's body when they arrived and she went on to say from the new findings on his death, it is believed he was possibly murdered by his own manager by forcefully pouring red wine down his throat causing him to drown . The newscaster went on to say that Jimi discovered his MGR was stealing from him and the mgr was in fear of being ousted since his contract as JH mgr was up or would be up. So much of what that short news cast stated was in this documentary. I was told as a kid by my father back in the early 70's that Jimi Hendrix was murdered. My father was briefly in the music business in the U.S. when I was growing up. He never met Jimi Hendrix but he told us kids, the manager did it. When I saw that newscast, I had to call him and tell him .First thing out of his mouth, " I told you so". Then he starts cussing and going off about the entertainment business snd its mafia connections.
I feel so bad for Jimi Hendrix. He didn't deserve that.
@@Somniator7 You are welcome
you fathers not wrong look up Sharon Osborne dad. (Allegedly)
Jimi wasn't murdered. He was just extremely reckless with drugs -- What happened to him was going to happen sooner or later, and more likely sooner. Before he consumed almost the entire bottle of that red wine he had taken 9 whole tablets of Dannemann's Vesparax, a powerful barbiturate which was later taken off the market. The prescribed dose was one-half of one tablet. So you might be Jimi Hendrix the greatest guitarist ever, but when you take 18 times the dose of a barbiturate and consume a great deal of alcohol with the consequent synergistic effects, chemistry doesn't care who you are. Dannemann found him dead when she woke up and instead of calling 911, she called Eric Burdon who had been with them the night before and asked him what to do. Burdon told her to get rid of all of the drugs in the room and get tf out of there because there was now a dead body in the room. Which is not a good look for the one still living. It was only after she did what Burdon said that "an anonymous call" was placed to check on a potential medical emergency. Paramedics found the door partially open with Hendrix alone lying on his back in the bed, covered with vomit. The combination of what he took sedated him so much that when he vomited red wine and tuna fish from Dannemann's sandwich it suppressed his gag reflex. He inhaled some of his vomit and consequently suffocated from it. The paramedics later testified that the vomit had already started to dry, indicating that Hendrix had been dead for a while. THAT'S how Hendrix died. It wasn't murder -- it was an accident. A most tragic accident.
@@MrTteee What is his name?? Does he have a JH connection?
@@heartstrings7814 Shady Manager no connection to JH.
Even after more than a half century he passed away, how couldn't we forget him, RIP!
I saw Jimi's last concert at Newport. He didn't look very happy, he just wanted to play. I think the record industry, and the way they treat their artists, played a large part in his death. RIP.
It's INCREDIBLE that no one wants to be honest:
HE COMMITTED SUICIDE.
I think it's an insult to him, to keep pretending he died ACCIDENTALLY.
His life was hell at that point, and the Corrupt Manager meant Jimi was working for his enemy, for the rest of his life.
NINE SLEEPING PILLS TIPPED NO ONE OFF?
Everyone says I'm crazy when I say "Hendrix (like Moon), was a SUICIDE. Give
credit where it's due."
@@dumpygoodness4086 u know, that kinda makes sense.... I really never thought about it like that. But it's a very interesting assumption
Thing was, Jimi had said more than once that he wasn't a live-action jukebox and that he wanted to move on past Foxey Lady, humping the guitar and all that. He tried it out at Woodstock. He had planned to try out playing with a large orchestra, playing with a jazz band and that apparently would have been one of his new directions. A simple mistake in taking sleeping pills ended that.
Unfortunately with Jimi Hendrix he was screwed from the getgo. He was already signed while still in NYC but the label did nothing for him so he was just scrambling around not getting anywhere. He should've gotten out of the contract before getting signed by Chas Chandler because once he found out the guy from NYC started chasing Hendrix for money -and for the rest of his life - because he was still under contract whith him when he signed to another label..
I agree to what you said about California Hollywood they will make you into a drug user
I really wish that Jimi Hendrix was still with us! What a tremendous loss of talent!😰😰
He could've been in the Silver Machine.
God Love Hawkwind’s Silver Machine (sung by ex-roadie Lemmy Kilmister who later formed Motorhead)
Biggest loss EVER in music. More than Lennon. My opinion
I agree 100%!
Yes.
Absolutely
Buddy Holly. 22.
Mozart. Mne.
Saw Jimi at the Isle of Wight festival.He was a truly gifted musician that seemed to conjure up the most incredible zzzounnddddss!!!!
Thank you Jimi, selfishly I’m sorry your life was so short. We miss you. Rest In Peace my friend (1942 - 1970).
That’s fucked up thing to say

Excellence is color blind we love you Jimmy after all these years & always will!
Why does it have to be colorblind to respect it. He was black, he was tall... he had a huge smile. Those are physical characteristics that describes ppl. God made everyone beautiful and you dont have to be blind to respect anyone
I'm Jimmy Hendrix cousin I'm so proud of him GOD BLESS your soul cousin
On the very day of his death, I remember marking his demise on my cork/chalkboard in my bedroom! I spent the rest of the day playing his music ( All Along the Watchtower) on vinyl! I was sixteen then and because of HIM, I bought an electric guitar for the first time and threw away my teenage BELT BUCKLE /AIR GUITAR for good! What an influential human being, thank you Mr. Hendricks😌 I’m sure you touched MANY future guitarist! 😎 R.I.P. ✌️
think Bob Dylan wrote Watchtower didn't he??
Hey Joe is a favorite of mine, but Watchtower riff was on my ring tone for my hubby and our infant still to this day as a teen jams out when it plays.
@@laurasinfield2431 wrote the lyrics
@@ryanlitt5132 - erm.. well ,actually he wrote the entire thing didn’t he? He wrote lyrics and melody,i.e the song but Hendrix adapted it to be played on electric guitar.. ami right??
@@laurasinfield2431 never said you were wrong just answered a question
It’s so sad, his story, he had so many people who cared about him and for someone as amazing as Hendrix to be taken advantage of.
Can you imagine our world if Jimi, the Kennedys, MLK, Lennon and others were still with us?
The Kennedy's I can do without
Mom's Basement No, Fuck the kennedys, mlk and lennon.
And Prince.
Joel Banning LOL........SURE👎🏻
You are fucking brain dead.
I was fortunate to see Jimmi Hendrix LIVE! He performed to a packed room at the University of Toldeo, Ohio, USA in 1967. I was about 5 feet from the stage. It was like in a cafeteria room and we were packed in like sardines! It was a never forget night! He played behind his back --- played with his teeth --- and blew us away! Thank you for doing his songs! Rich in Kentucky USA!
Yes! My uncle went to that show too at UT's Fieldhouse! Greetings from T town!
@@charlesdrake3125 Seriously? WOW what a small world! PS: I was born and raised in Napoleon.
@@retiredperson4054 yep, he said he saw in Detroit too at Cobo arena.
Jimi had sooo much talent it was unbelievable how incredible his guitar playing he deserved so much more because he was surrounded by sharks 🦈 the big guys business men all wanted money etc, and wanted to bring down Hendrix but his music is forever!
This one utterly broke my heart 💔 Anyone who could this to Jimi has no soul 😔
Oy,vey!
No fear. Morgan Freeman is still here.
Thank you Melinda Merryweather when speaking of Jimi Hendrix "'his real self was so humble, so beautiful and so precious". RIP Jimi..a beautiful soul that is dearly missed 💔
Led Zep, The Beatles, The Who, Hendrix...their music still being played 50 years later! What artists of today has had that much effect on rock that we will hear them 50 years from now?
CitizenJ1 : That’s what has happened in Jazz, in Blues, and in Country.
Classics in those genres are treasured, and still played more than 50 years later, in some cases.
Rock should have the same longevity.
Valid question
CitizenJ1 don’t forget immortal Queen
Kendrick Lamar, Radiohead, Flying Lotus, etc are the greats of today. If you don't understand their music, you may not see why, but there are many artists, lots of them underground, who will be remembered as being just as impactful as artists from the past. As time moves on, the best of the art created will rise to the surface and the rest will be forgotten. I'm sure most of the older generation from the 60's hated rock music and thought it was inferior to their music. Also, the pop music landscape has changed since then. Artists typically inhabit smaller niches than they used to.

That’s why prince was so headstrong and made his own decisions. Rest in peace Hendrix and prince💙💙
Today September 18, 2020 Mark's 50 years to the day that the world's greatest African American guitarist said goodbye to the world, and passed on. R. I. P. Jimi Hendrix.
M P ...One of the greatest guitarist.
If Jimi was still alive can you even imagine how incredible his playing would be now?
He'd be in diapers now.
I'm 70 and I play great and not in diapers.
JIMI would be doing what he was created to do START Christian music IN MAINSTREAM
Look at all his lyrics, record company said no!!! he didn't fight it. And then the drugs.
Don't know who killed him but it was Jesus who took him he was not productive. I got that all from Jesus cause I wanted to be just like him, he said NO I HAVE PLANS FOR YOU.
HE DID I WRITE AND RECORD CHRISTIAN MUSIC. GOD BLESS

Sting wrote about seeing Jimi play & said: "I'd never seen anything like it... Don't suppose i ever will." -from the liner notes about Sting's cover of "Little Wing" on the 1987 album "Nothing Like the Sun".
So sad! He was so talented and had a sweet soul! Thanks for sharing.
I wasn't even born yet when u were here but I wish I was. I would've loved to have gone to one of your concerts. Thank u for leaving us such great music. Rock in peace Mr. Hendrix. 🎸💙🌸✌
REBEL FLOWER his music is my very favorite of all time. im sure you understand how he was a driving force for interracial relationships, he was mainstream and our in the open about this. It was the first time many whites saw that and the earlier they see it the more acceptable it was to be the norm and not different.
REBEL FLOWER The original lyrics of Purple haze was "Purple Haze- Jesus saves! Its in my heart and my mind!
HE WAS VERY MESMERIZING AND GREAT TO KNOW, BECAUSE I DID KNOW HIM FOR A VERY SHORT TIME, I MISS HIM SO MUCH......... :'(
He was like no other, and there will never be another like him, just mesmerizing, i knew him for a very short time through my then husband and his friends b4 he passed, and saw him in concert many times, they met him in California..
Rebel Flower, he was mesmerizing.....
One of those 'too good for our world' beings. You can just see it in him. That very rare precious quality of a sweet soul.
The music industry is a monster that seduces artists in... Chews them up, strips them of everything... Their souls. and throws them out in a casket
I just watched Mike Hutchinson doc again, I believe that we lost him when we lost Princess Di?
These Individuals keep saying that the Jimi Hendrix Experience was the highest payed Group, that a Lie, The Experience Management, Manager's were the true highest payed in the Days, Hendrix didn't hardly have any money in his Bank Account when he died, compared to other great Musicians who lived to a Ripe age and departed with Millions in there Estate, want bring up Name's but you can Guess who's im talking about.....
The Music Industry has Toxicity in it, If you get with the wronged Manager or Management, You are more like the Gifted Slave to them, or Cash 🐄 I thank this is what was happening to Hendrix and Mitch, Noal Ridding, the Management still owes them a great deal of money even though there long Gone, RIP....
The government hasn't changed for 30 years, still the same as they were in the 70s
still the same as it was in the 1930's.
Very sad very true
U mean since the romans times. Sorry its been like this since the begging of civilization itself
@@MoneyMoonPlue absolutely 100% correct! Corruption has been around since the beginning of man.
The 70’s is 50 years ago...
Who can forget the first time they heard him play? I was 5 when he died. So, I never saw him live.
After 40 years of rock history research, and after watching this well done documentary,
I'm afraid I know why.
Jimi- Thank you 🔥🎸⚡💥RIP..
I was 16 in 1980 and had just got into Led Zep and Cream when I heard Purple Haze which added Jimi to those I consider true greats of rock
Music that will never ever die. We need a revival Bring back our Blues.
To see this comment get so many upvotes in a short amount of time gives me hope for mankind, the future of music and the blues in general. It also makes me feel a whole lot better about having learned the guitar in the last 3 years and going straight after the blues. For a while I was convinced I was learning a dead art, but the amount of votes you got lets me know I got into something that is very much still alive, kicking and wanted. Keep real music alive.
Therollingstones
@@igitankgames4706 Was a long long time ago and are no longer relevant to todays music. We need new artists pushing the blues, not pensioners who only go on tour when they need money. Neither Blues music nor the Stones are releveant today and we can fix at least one of those things but not the other.
A Blue revival involves kids picking up instruments and learning them. It also involves ripping control of the music industry away from the people who are currently hijacking it with processed crap. Neither the Stones nor Hendrix are going to be able to do this, it's largely up to the people to create a new wave of the blues, yes just like the stones and Hendrix did back in the 60's.......problem is, that was the 60's and this is now. We cant rely on ghosts, we have to do it.
I have a dream of putting music workshops into disadvantaged areas to get kids off streets and away from gangs and getting instruments into their hands instead of knives. If I had the money I'd do it. But I dont, so until I win some kind of lottery I'm just dreaming and will continue to dream, scheme and plot.
Nope, we're stuck with Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, and Cardi B :D ::cries::

Rest in peace Jimi! Such a shame that he went the way he did and at such an early age. I wish I had been able to see him perform. His music still speaks volumes to so many!
I grew up near Renton, Washington (Issaquah) which is where Jimi Hendrix was raised. And his original gravesite was about 3 miles from where I went to Maywood Jr. High in the early 1970's. And after we heard about his passing we would go and put flowers where he was buried, which didn't even have a proper marker and so you had to just know where it was. I was too young to understand his significance, but I had seen Woodstock at the Drive-In with my parents who were accepting of the sort of hippy movement going on. My mom had a lot of albums that fueled my love for the music at the time. I went off to college in 1975 in eastern Washington for 7 years and at some point they moved Jimi's grave location way to the other side and created a whole gazebo and shrine to him which is really nice. But I have struggled with addiction in the past and his story was always a cautionary tale for me, and I knew I didn't want to get hooked on heroin. I've been sober 33 years now.
We used to occasionally party on his grave site in the late 70s, don't remember it being unmarked, but I don't remember it that clearly anyway. Congrats on your 33 👍
Being kind and generous and having a hard time saying no does not make you weak!
Max Matson yeah I just heard that but his soul was pure and he was manipulated to his brink, fucking pushed him too far. 👍🏻
I agree, he just wanted to play, love, laugh, be peaceful, laydback and enjoy whatever he could. 🌈,, Fighting and arguing wasn't really his thing.... Mabey ☮️
Max Matson it doesn’t make you weak, it just makes you an easy target for any kind or type of powers that be. that’s why trust no one.
The possibility of bi-polar disorder was not discussed, but (if you've ever known anyone with it) it actually accounts for much...mood swings from happy to depressed, attraction to psi-active drugs, elevated sexuality, charismatic and creative, sleep deprivation, kind, open, generous, etc, etc.
@@number1bobo shut up"
Tut...this prompts me to feel a need to tell a wee story....in the late 60's I saw JH play at Chislehurst Caves in Kent/UK & I can still vividly recall how I walked away kinda knowing that I'd just fundamentally changed but not quite knowing how or why. Whatever, that experience made me a very devoted fan & to this day his death...& his alone, is my only instance/experience of true grieving...Lord how I suffered as a 17yr old!
There was a kid at my school (David Bowles or Bowsie) who thought a lot of himself...because he lived in a pub, a big music venue pub in North London, with his old man...the landlord.
He liked to brag ...and one day, out in the playground, I mentioned what was right then the No1 single of the day `Burning of the Midnight Lamp`....had he seen/heard this crazy black guy? "Oh yeah 'im...he lives with my mum"...myself and the two/three other kids gathered crack up at this & deservedly take the appropriate piss out of him.
He's getting more & more heated in his defense, bell goes & we're in double maths sitting together. "You're coming to my mum's with me after school Clarky, don't tell your mum/dad, just be outside the playing field...or else" Yeah, I was a bit of a wimp at school!
Bragger or not he was certainly different from the rest of `us`....thus it was no great surprise but a dream come true nethertheless when he comes roaring down the road in a gleaming white Austin Healey 3.0L open top, nicked from his dad's garage for `a bit`.
We drive from East London to Knightbridge/Kensington somewhere, an area I'd never been to in my life & pull up at the end of a quiet/quaint mews. No answer so he reaches behind a pot for the key & in we go. Clearly mum nor anyone else is at home.
We hang around for near on an hour guzzling his mum's beers, I'm getting worried my mum is gonna start to get angry 'cos it's dinner time pretty much by now & he's worried 'cos his old man will be back home & might notice the car gone....so we decide to leave.
This place had a tiny, cosy, living room that the front door opened directly onto...he goes off to put our beer cans in the kitchen bin, I get up to put on my jacket, there's a key going in the door, it opens & there is Jimi Hendrix!!
Or...there was Hendrix the idol...the clothes, hair...everything....it was really him before me & I was in a kinda trance.
But immediately he starts behaving like he's being a bother..."Oh, sorry man...I'm just" (pointing & moving towards the stairs)
Friend returns "Ahhh, cool, we were just about to give up"
Hendrix "Naaaw, never give up man (chuckles)....listen, sorry to just storm in & interupt, I think I've freaked your pal"
Friend..." He didn't believe you stayed at mum's...but he does now...don't you Clarky?".
I nod still not having said a word since JH walked through the door.
Hendrix looks to me & laughs...says "Hey, chill man...I'm not a ghost, not yet" (smiles, comes over, puts an arm around me & gives me a squeeze)
" Ok, you guys have a gas yeah" (Starts up the stairs)...."Tell me that's not your wheels outside man...?"
It's my dad's says friend....."Wow, your dad has class man...guess that's how he came to choose your ma eh?"
"Ok, (turning to me) nice to meet you... sorry, sorry, didn't even ask you your name man...sorry"
"St..st..st..Steve" I barely manage to utter ...he smiles at me sympathetically...."Yeah, real nice to meet you St..st..st..Steve" (laughs)
"Take care guys...stay cool" (heads off upstairs to his room)
My only meeting sadly but I've always felt kinda blessed for it of course...and that I got to witness at first hand not the idol I worshipped & thought I knew everything about but an unmistakably gentle & kind soul...so very, very, obviously so....there was something strongly `Heaven Sent` about him when in his presence for sure.
Watching those repeated clips of that soul being drowned to death isn't possible for me, not that soul...it's too unbearable for me to confront/consider.
Bless him.
Thank you for sharing your experience meeting Jimi Hendrix. So cool! A real moment to remember.
😎🤩💯
It's cool when you meet famous people and they turn out to be just regular people like you and I. I have met a few over the years, nobody quite as big as him, but a few people. I'm happy to say that most of them we're more surprised that we looked up to them then anything else..
Thank you for sharing your experience with us
fucking amazing 🔥🔥
What an amazing story! I also lived in London and had similar experiences but not with Jimi mine were with Hawkwind mostly but lots of South London bands all over!
@Sheila Mchgee I find it's best to identify the problem as certain people - BAD people!
R.I.P. Jimi Hendrix you was our hero on Guitar and a lot of your Songs.Unforgatable!!!
This is fantastic, definitely brings to light a different side of the legend that was Jimi. Thanks for sharing
RIP Jimi . . . .I met Jimi twice in 1970. Once at the Earl of Lonsdale pub on Portobello Rd and again at the Isle of Wight pop Festival. I was really sad when the news broke that he had been found dead at his apartment in Ladbroke Grove . . . .we all miss you brother !!
jimi hendrix died at the samarkand hotel in notting hill, to which monika danneman lured him; not at his ladbroke grove apartment.
Jimy Hendrix is legendary rock history!no matter what!...so sad that he was ripped off of his rightfully earned royalties!
We will never have a African American 😪 rock musician like this again he is the greatest guitar🎸 player that ever lived rip🙏 never forgotten
Hmmmmm....
With the amount of gifted children being born everyday, that will be impossible, however everyone is unique so they'll never be another jimi.
He was like Lennon against War .. they don't die "normal way " you tu smart to think otherwise . No doubt he Was The Best Player, and no one ever will be great like he was
Best in any race
@@Mrscarricom children don't get out anymore. They sit at home with the coronavirus and rely on electronics to do anything. Kids don't get a chance to get out in the world and see all there is to see and experience different things. I just don't think kids can get into other hobbies like musical instruments and things like that.
I was born in 1960. I was raised in a family of mostly country music lovers so I didn't have much opportunity to hear rock. And when I did it wasn't hard rock as it was called back then. Mostly the ventures album. Elvis Presley, the beach boys and such. It wasn't until I was 15 in 1975 that I discovered Jimmy Hendrix. I was blown away by what I heard. I began to listen to Jimmy's I music more than and more. Knowing I had missed out on greatness. Though my experience With Jimmy's brilliance came late in my life, I feel blessed that I can say I've been experienced.
I was at The Fillmore West on the side of the stage watching the Buddy Miles Band as my brother was his manager. Bill Graham came up and after a song they were performing and whispered something in his ear. He fell to the floor uncontrollably weeping.
He finally sat back on his drums and said his Brother (an affectionate term) just passed away in England. You could hear a pin drop and the sound of the audience was beyond sorrow. His loss was a feeling that words cannot express and they performed their remake of "Down by the River" and tears poured from everyone's eyes for the rest of the performance. They and Many Pop Stars went to Seattle and performed in an open casket party that Jimi requested if he died, he wanted no one to be sad just party and get on with their lives. He was a very quiet, respectful person and all that knew him played and his Parents thanked them all. God Bless his memory and Legacy in an industry at that time that was very sketchy and dark behind the scenes.
Questionable story. Definitely the latter. His parents thanked the party throwers after his funeral?! Jim's mother died when he was only about 14. His friend Eric Burdon & others described a very solemn funeral different from yours that's for sure. For starters Burdon said Jimi told him he didn't want to be buried in Seattle but in England. For this reason several of Jimi's friends like Eric did not attend. But some stone-faced record execs did. They lost their golden goose. Back in '94 when my brother lived in Seattle, I was fortunate enough to spend a little time at Jimi's final resting place when after a bit of effort we found where he was. Even took a photo my ear next to his marker, listening. Even though as I understand the money grubbers in chg of his estate who never even KNEW Jimi have since changed it, that it was a special place & memory in time is vivid to this day. I remember a gentle wind w/these huge cottony clouds drifting over us & thinking how prophetic, as Jimi sang about the clouds & wind in "Wind Cries Mary". At that time, Jimi's "Forever in our Hearts" marker struck me so small for such a huge man. But then looking back, Jimi was so very shy & humble for such a bigger than life person so maybe that was more fitting...
I have Jimi Hendrix's DVD..
And he used Tapping technic on a DVD. I don't know when this technic started to be used but he did.. he's an inspiration for so many musicians.. He'll never die
I'm am so glad I saw this! I love Jimi Hendrix! This makes me sad 😔 RIP 🙏
He's never forgotten 🙁🙏
Hendix. Such a tragic death of a performer that was way before his time. The greatest guitar player ever or will ever be. I was 16 when i first heard a Hendrix album. I was absolutely astonished. Never was the same after. I was riding the high school bus home when it came on the radio that he had been found dead. Just two months after my favorite singer Janis Joplin had died. I actually cried when i heard the news of both their deaths. Rock lost rwo of the greatest performers ever in those two months. May their souls be rocking out and hope they are resting in peace. GOD BLESS THEM BOTH.
Yes Jimi you made it!yes!
SRV destroys Jimi as does 100 other guitarists
first word in your comment and you already fucked it up lol
@@hansjuker8296 came here to say this. Jimi will always be a legend. But nobody played guitar like Stevie ray. I get sad when listening to Jimi and srv knowing they left way too soon. Would have been awesome to see Jimi and Stevie ray collab
He will always be the GREATEST EVER POINT BLANK PERIOD!
Amen to that!
After all these years I am still a big fan of the music of Jimi Hendrix. He is the greatest guitarist. I have on DVD both Monterey Pop and Woodstock.
God I love how Jimmi played. it stands out even more when he does other people's songs.
Very well done. Thank you for exposing the truth of Jimi's life and demise. Never has been, or will be, another Jimi!
Hello dear
How are you doing
31:20 why do I feel a certain nostalgic memory to this song. I wanna experience this kind of vibe and feel this kind of extasy of life ugh why is this so beautiful
I have heard of Jimi Hendrix but I have actually never listened to his music and I saw this and all I can say is WOW!
@@dancalvano8702 I bought that album in grade 8:)
@@jimiplayscobo5877 So good, so unbelievably good, I just found The Band of Gypsys in my 20s. Wow, I missed out, it puts the Experience to shame.
@@dancalvano8702 so true, earth blues, message to love is why I think they killed him. He was getting political, and understood the love thing enough to know how to charge his sound with it. His vibes were toxic to the shitstem.

Emerald Isle welcome to the best musician of total love and soul
No one can come close to you Jimi, you are still standing tall at the top. R.I.P🕊🏴❤️
The AWSOME music that came from this man will live on forever.
Jimi looked so great in those jackets that look like fantasy uniforms!And I loved his music but I heard his music the first time in 1975 when I was 13 years old.Timeless!
The chronology of this doco is so chaotic, matter-of-factly jumping from his last night then back to Mike Jeffery, then to his last night again, then back even further to when Chas was still in the picture. An awful lot of conjecture too.
It both breaks my heart, & really pisses me off that this could very well be how he died. I was born on the same day Jimi Hendrix passed away, Sept. 18th 1970 & I've been a hippie flower-child, & huge music lover, from day one. My mom said that when I was a baby, the best way to put me to sleep was to lay me down next to the speaker, lol. Jimi's song Purple Haze has always been my fav. & the song became even more special when I read about how he explained in an interview that it was actually about him finding God "Excuse me while I kiss the sky." I love many of his quotes, one of my favs is: "When the power of love over comes the love of power, the world will know peace." So beautiful...such a beautiful soul. I never get tired of learning about him, his music, & his life, & I know I never will. I love me my Jimi...Now I MUST listen to Purple Haze! ~Peace & Love Everyone~
And when he played "The Star Spangled Banner"...😌❤❤
Jimi competed with himself, he was soooo good.
Agreed!
And always high on something. Did the drugs really help him to be more creative and talented?
Jimi will live forever in our hearts and souls and minds! His music is immortal.
I did not want to watch this for a very long time..I was blessed enough to see Jimi on Three occasions, all three were so powerful my 8th grade mind decided to play guitar. Couldn't so I picked up a fender precision and took off. I have a belief that we know not who the enemy is, because the enemy looks just like us and blends until we challenge their power. Speak truth to Power, maybe someone will pick it up and run with it..I cried watching this, I knew from my digging and trying to understand that Jimi did not OD on Heroin..But Damn, just to kill him is beyond insane.
Did you not watch and listen to this?
@@linnybeans.23 you have to take my answer in context..I am 68 years old. Jimi was raw, uninhibited no need for electronics off the chain raw power. I said "killed him" because what fool sits someone up in an ambulance who is and has been vomiting?? I mean come'on now!! Not that it was intentional. But London back in those days, probably thought he was some drugged rocker just another night on the job.
My god! I wish I knew what happened to them or how they felt later in life knowing this horrible truth..! My "straight up killed him" was more a cry of udder frustration, I saw him twice and got to sit and have a conversation with him once. I can repeat that in my mind word for word even now in 2021..(sorry to rant) hope this helps
Funny thing it was our gov’t we all know that a artist is better dead than alive that’s why they froze his money he was gonna fuel black Panthers to take over chocolate city aka (dc)
& thats why theirs a huge stigma about acid when it actually makes us think for once in our life that we don’t need gov’t control we need to love one another & treat eachother with love & peace. But this world leaders are ran by the devil we all know that.
This is so eye opening on so many levels. 👍👍👍
R.i.P
I just randomly thought of Jimi Hendrix and came to watch this.
This is so heartbreaking! RIP Jimi
Most people don't know he was a 101st trooper. He served his country!
101st Airborne, officially.
Broke his ankle or leg during a parachute landing. Pursued to make music and play guitar as a career. It was meant to be. Good move from Jimi.
He as well is/was a genius like Prince
wauw what a brilliant soul xx
That's all good n all but y should he have had to serve y did any of them just sayin
@@toolguyslayer1 bro, I'm with you. I was marching in the streets of San Francisco, against the war and the needless dying of Americans and Vietnamese, for no good reason, as far as so many people were concerned. I am not in love with Jimi because he was in the Army. I loved Jimi because he was one of the greatest guitar players of all time, maybe number 1 and a great showman. I saw him perform 3 times in the San Francisco area.
So unfair. 20 something kid, being ripped off by vulture managers. Kids had no real financial advice, back then. They were robbed of their art.
The opening song, I need it. I need it now. The crisp and heartfelt vibrations of strings leave me begging for more.
Please tell me if you find this cover. I really like it
Hey brother it's a dude named Tony Skeggs. Tuff ass cover huh!!!
@@ali-5881 🤘🤘🤘
people only talk of his great talent- which was obvious. But he was such a good soul- it just comes through- such a shame, such a waste
Yeah... Such a good soul. Fucking and leaving every young girl he came across (leaving more than one alone with a fatherless child); beating up his young female groupie companions; cheating; destroying himself with MASSIVE amounts of hard drugs and alcohol and openly encouraging his young fans to do the same; constantly smashing new cars on public roads while stoned.... What a good soul. He was almost like a Firefighter or a food relief worker in Africa. A Saint as far as I can tell.

I love you Jimi ~ I found the album 'Are You Experienced' for sale at my elementary school festival and it became my favorite...to this day! I was 11 years old. May all truth be revealed. Say hello to us from heaven sometime...
To today this to ME is still very sad . He died so young,(27) years old.what a waste.🤔🤨🧐🙄☹️

A perfect asshole mi6 ajent CIA ties mike sumthin gonna get you y89 took jimi s stash jamin in Tahoe isaw plans first time mike found out my real age and double identity i can prove Jimmy's murdurd ino when and where evidence places are
Brilliant Artist ahead of his time. Gone too soon. Wonderful, wonderful musician! Wish he was still here! Can you imagine the music/songs/innovation he would have contributed to R & R? There’s never been a musician like Jimi Hendrix & will never be another one!
Jimi Hendrix, and other artist like Janis Joplin, and Bob Marley, were more of my older sisters fav.artist, but one thing I had always noticed was how really cool not only the artist were, but the people, in the audience were, even my older sisters were, too. I just figured I was too square to comprehend it, but secretly always wished I was cool like that.
Being older now I enjoy watching biographies, of famous people, and since Jimi Hendrix, and the others names are indelibly famous, and etched in history, I've been watching their's. And thru watching their biographies I've grown, to love them, and appreciate their music, their works, and even saddened by their deaths, and I see them as good people.
It was so interesting when they were saying how Jimi Hendrix was predicting his death, and when he was in Hawaii and his girlfriend Melinda said he told her to look behind her, and she saw nothing but beautiful rainbows, and he gave her something like a salute, like he was saying goodbye, that was something. It's like he knew God was calling him, even though it probably was the bad acid he had gotten weeks before, that started it, it still must be very comforting to know, if you must go, that it's God that is calling you, and the rainbows confirmed that for him.
His interpretation of the rainbow sign made me wonder was those in his circle speaking life over him, or was he speaking it over himself, or listening to the wrong thought. I am a Bible believer, and try to live as positive as I can which is not all the time easy, in this negative world. I have learned enough to try to speak life, over me, my family, and those around me. When any thought comes to me that does not speak life, I use a scripture that says, not so, and say it to expose that lie that came to me. I said all that, to say this, when I see a rainbow, it is a sign of hope, to me, just as the Bible said it was meant to stand for. Anything said different against the Bible, is a lie. Anytime the sun is out, and it's raining, that's generally when you can see a rainbow, so I open my door, and look to see if one is out. I esp. look, when I've been going through something heavy, trying to work diligently and taking God with me, through it all, but seems like it's taking forever, wanting some sign from God you're doing alright, expecting, as the Bible says some reward, for my work, because you can believe all you want, but God knows we need finances, to live well, and what's the point, of being His servant and not be rewarded for works. And He said He want us to prosper, so it's nothing wrong with expecting it. So it's behind, those kind of times, when I search for a rainbow, and if I happen, to see one, it's like a ray of hope, comes to my heart, and I be like ,"God remembered, He didn't forget ". You can just look at a rainbow, the prettiest picture ever, and just see God drew that with His easel. It's not that God is going to drop, a bag of money, in your lap, just for seeing a rainbow. What it is for me, is a motivator, that I'm doing alright, to keep on going, and God is there. The reason I even question if I'm doing alright, because I have this thing about not falling out of line, with God, for anything, because I have been chastised by God, before, more than once, so I try to keep it, as good as it gets, but He knows I am human, a sinner, so He don't drop a bomb, for letting a curse word out, or something. But you know those sins, that you know, that you know, that you know that you had NO BUSINESS, getting into it so God has to pull out His switch, of love to whip me, into submission. Anyhew, I'm on the same page, with God, now.
His manager, who froze his royalties seem real suspect, too, in his early demise, and that last girlfriend, too, Monica Donovan, who conveniently went to buy cigarettes, at the time he died, that don't set right, plus her story don't cooberate with others there. Either of those two could have been tied to the mafia, and/or FBI. But it was something very touching how Monica, after his death, kind of showed she really loved him, by having all those pictures of him, in her home. Like her heart really broke, for him, so I could be very wrong about implicating her.
But one thing for sure the legend lives on, even 50years later.✌🏽❤🙏🏻🎵Rest in PARADISE Jimi Hendrix❤
Nah u could be right tho didnt they say monica the one got his drugs for him (it’s 5 in the morning im invested !!)
I have seen his monument in Seattle where I live many times and every times it brings me to tears 😭!
The biggest enemy you will ever know is your own government.
The fact is you vote for your government, and you are in charge, this is the Alt-Right Police Type. Jimmy and that generation was smart enough to know we needed change. No in Jimmy's case his biggest enemy was those that had GREED around him! Blanket statements rarely work. Government must have accountability to the people it serves the people MUST DEMAND THAT doesn't happen on its own.
Fact's
@@sa-iw4dr Or just given the illusion that your vote counts...Hard to say.
True true true that.
No. It’s you.

Sorry Django Rhnhardt was the king..
OMG! I didn't know this about him. My son and I both loved Jimmie Hendrix. I used to have a velvet painting of him on my wall in the 80's.
still happening this moment. so sad. but real. stay soulful everyone
Amazing man, amazing music. RIP Jimi.
He wasn't weak he was generous to a fault young naive and tortured😪😪😪
It's also because everybody wants to play most of the greatest hits. Foxey Lady, Hey Joe, Purple Haze and Wind Cries Mary
A new and distinct sound appealed to diverse crowd. He and Eric Clapton brought blues to rock and changed everything.

I remember hearing about Jimi's death on the evening News ,CBS, They had clips of Jimi playing with his Guitar behind his back and neck ,they said Jimi Hendrix best rock guitar player, in the world dead at 27 years old of an O.D........pretty much will remember that day till the day I die, I was 14years old guitar player still play because of guys like Jimi
I hear ya man. I was also 14 yrs old in 1970 and had Hendrix on all the time, ....still do in my 60's muscle cars in a zip drive. Still can't believe this new world.
I used to see him in Golden Gate Park playing for free. Back in the day That's how I met my wife. I dressed like him.
Awee too sweet💖
That's cool!! I hope u and your wife are happy and healthy!!
Amazing! 67??
Happy days to remember. Better times.
He only played once in Golden Gate Park (June 25, 1967).
The start song it's a Tony skeggs cover of All along the watchtower, so sad and beautiful version
He's not the only one this was done 2. Love him A MASTER PERFORMER 💗
