(I DO NOT OWN THIS PIECE OF MUSICAL ART, ALL CREDIT GOES TO ALL FOUR BEATLES AND JIMI HENDRIX) Music video by Jimi Hendrix performing Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
It's too bad a late sixties beatles concerts would have been epic, revolver, magical mystery, st pepper and white album. Nothing ever played live, ever. Ridiculous decision by the beatles. They could have at least done one concert for a small audience and recorded it, the world, and they, missed out. But least Hendrix picked up some of the slack.
@everyday tenor The Beatles could have easily done a concert to a smaller crowd, performing the entire white album live would have been so cool. Too bad they didnt see it that way. I think they just wanted to be free, and didn't want to put in the daily practice as a band to perform any of it live. They could of pulled of wicked live versions of any of their later albums, they are the beatles, you can hear the magic of their live playing on the roof, with their harmonies, when they finally came and did a tiny fraction of their material from the last 5 years. Most bands love showing off their greatest works live, apparently they could care less, unfortunately.
He would even warn three times and each time a different way "Watch out your ears" "Watch out for your ears" Watch out for ears", just like when he improvised music...
@@TravisTerrell The most relevant part; It was a BIG thank you to Paul, who just arranged a gig (Monterey) for Jimi that would guarantee him his American breakthrough. It was the UK farewell gig.
Sgt. Pepper came out on Friday morning, and I think this concert was on Sunday night. So the band had about two days to practice the song. Paul McCartney said he was blown away when he heard it.
@@jeremytrudell7163 yes but in the full video there r 3 songs, look up jimi Hendrix saville theater 1967, there is a vid with 3 songs, this one, wild thing, and foxy lady, but when he plays wild thing he mentions how it was Christmas time, this show was December 22, 67
Paul McCartney said it was the greatest ever compliment he had received, when Jimi played Sgt.Pepper a couple of days after it had been released. High praise, from McCartney, as everyone was blowing smoke up his backside after Sgt.Pepper, but Jimi just went on stage and blew everyone away, not really intending to impress anyone, yet McCartney to this day, says that was the biggest compliment he had ever had. Brilliant.
@JJ KK The original Paul McCartney died in 1964. Today's Paul McCartney, who is awesome, did say that. Hate correcting people, but want to make sure we get it right.
Hendrix could probably change all the strings on his guitar while grabbing a new pick, while on 4 tabs of acid after drinking 12 glasses of whiskey, all mid solo and have it be one of the best solos ever.
People don't realise that the Jimi Hendrix Experience wasn't actually a three piece and was in fact a five piece band, Jimi, Mitch, Noel and Jimi's two massive balls made up the real band.
That's true, Rubber Soul was the last album they played live, since there was the pressure of constant chaos of the Beatlemania and the Beatles weren't enjoying playing live anymore.
RIP the three members of The Jimi Hendrix Experience Jimi Hendrix (November 27, 1942 - September 18, 1970), aged 27 Noel Redding (December 25, 1945 - May 11, 2003), aged 57 Mitch Mitchell (July 9, 1946 - November 12, 2008), aged 62 You will be remembered as legends
How about the original members? Jimi was trying to get his band mates back at the time of his death. Many think that triggered his death. The label gave him replacements. He wanted his friends back.
This is what is called "swagger" folks. When you can walk out on stage and play a song from the top band in the land, one they will never play live, with a 3 piece band, 2 days after it was released and make it sound like YOU WROTE IT.....in front of all the top rock players in the world at that moment, and just fucking OWN it..............yep.....uh huh.
All along the watchtower belongs to Jimi. Dylan wrote a great track and Jimi took it from him and turned it inside out, upside down, into a masterpiece.
@Any OneGreat tune Wind Cries Mary. Hendrix loved Dylan, I know he said about All along the watchtower, that he wished he could write a song like that, because it's exactly the type of song he wished he could write. Jimi was mainly a guitarist, the best, and a songwriter second, even though he wrote some brilliant tracks, he's more known for his guitar playing, whereas Dylan is known for his songwriting, even though he's a decent guitarist, especially acoustic. Two giants Jimi and Bob.
The way I read it he bought the album Sunday and gave the band a quick rundown directly before the show. Is that the deal idk probably that’s Hendrix Just always blowing them damn hippie’s minds like chewing gum
He didnt learn anything, he listened to the structure and figured out the chord progression .... not that hard. im not even shure he chose to play it in the same key. doesnt matter one bit, he made it sound like sgt peppers, he played jimi-style !!
And he was a REALLY nice guy. You can tell by the interviews he does. He was getting ripped blind by his manager and he was still mellow as hell. Id be fricken pissed off.
We just can’t imagine how loud it was. And how Jimi, his Fender Stratocaster, Fuzz Face and Marshall stacks exploded into electricty in this room. Amazing!
Hmmm. I think you need some education. Even though I don't think that Hendrix film with Andre 3000 was particularly good nor was he directed very well, Andre 3000 is an excellent musician and plays several instruments and I am sure guitar is one of those. Now, is Andrea a great guitarist? That I do not know, but, he plays instruments well, maybe even violin. also... czcams.com/video/OkVI0v1lTXU/video.html
@@skineyemin4276 I thought you were gonna link to this: czcams.com/video/PWgvGjAhvIw/video.html I'm an OG Beatles and Hendrix fan, but Outkast were great too, and it wouldn't surprise me if Andre was a good musician. BTW, There's was a debate on twitter a few weeks back about whether Outkast was better than the Beatles. Uh, I wouldn't say that. I mean, BOB and Strawberry Fields are both classic songs, but the Beatles just pumped out more of them. IMHO, only Stankonia was a "great", for the ages album.
@@skineyemin4276 I only saw the original Hendrix biopic which came out 21 yrs ago, so I don't know what the other one was like, but the one I saw might've been better.
Could you imagine how many more great records this man could've made? That dude really was the greatest. Listen how he covered this Beatles classic with the actual Beatles in attendance. So Legendary
I Know (No One Speaks of That Fact Much) We Were Truly Robbed.. The Music and More Then Likely Musical and Possibly Other Innovations He Had Coming Mankinds Way and We Will Never Know... And That Will Always Be One of Our Greatest Artistic Tragedies of All Human Existence...
@@jfmax2000 We were truly robbed, but Jimi was robbed the most. He was robbed of the rest of his life and that's bigger than our loss of his incredible music. It breaks my heart.
This is why I fucking love Jimi in two minutes. "Plug your ears, we care about you, baby." Cigarette in, cigarette out. Sgt. Pepper title track played by the dirtiest, bluesiest electric blues band the world has ever bluesed. The most badass solo, but Jimi's looking away. "It ain't no thang. Let me shake this guy's hand." Remembers rest of lyrics despite tripping balls. And that, my friend, is Jimi Hendrix in a nutshell.
@@Diax1324 Wow, I have been so used to seeing those pick holders on mic stands. People actually used to do this? My god, I guess that's when the cave people were drawing on the walls.
@@VolvoImpala Lmfao. Jimi used to keep a pick in his mouth - partially as a spare, and partially to chew on when he was on uppers that cause tooth grinding; very clearly evident at Monterey Pop. He was on some serious stimulants.
@@Diax1324 You're right, he's getting a new pick and the funny thing is that he's playing the solo with one hand at the same time without any noticeable pauses in it.
Yeah Hendrix influenced the likes of Pat Travers, Frank Marino (Mahogany Rush), Uli Jon Roth (Scorpions), and K.K. Downing (Judas Priest), shit K.K. said he actually saw Hendrix live and briefly chatted with him one of the times he saw him perform.
@@jamiehovis7722 He put his soul into it, most "shredders" just put technique into it, & you can hear the difference. Machine Gun from the Filmore East 2nd night is just one of many examples.
Probably why I can't hear today. Went to see Jimi in 1968, on my 15th birthday. Cream, Lee Michaels, Pink Floyd, Janis, The Doors, and on and on. No wonder I can't hear. Best musical era, though.
Jimi was known to have a gifted eidetic memory as did Leonardo da Vinci and many others that we will never hear about. Paul McCartney respected Jimi and vice versa and of course Jimi was crazy about Dillon and his tunes as he stunned the music world with Along the Watchtower.....Bob D said, I wrote it, but it was Jimi's song...period.
My favourite bit was that Hendrix's guitar needed retuned after this performance as he's stretched all the strings. So Hendrix starts asking the crowd if Clapton is in the crowd and could retune his guitar for him
I like how one guy clapped and whistled at the end with the rest of the crowd stunned in silence and horror just like how they reacted to chuck Barry in back to the future
Jimi would do the sound that no human would think off but still be the song. Genius, Alien , one in a Billion. SUPER SPECIAL MAN and only 27. As the years go by he gets more special
The Master of The Stratocaster.. What an Amazing Musician, Individual, Musical Innovator and Human Being.. You Were Truly a One and Only One of a Kind James Marshall Hendrix
Not this show nope, this one was played on December 22, but the one a few days after og release yes they were, he even asked Clapton to tune his guitar but he didn't✋😔
I was 2 weeks old when he died. Been a fan my entire life. There's something about Jimi that noone else possess. His style, rhythm, attitude and gift he was born with is like no other. Let's not dwell on what we lost, but celebrate what we had!
Imagine if Hendrix had played on “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” instead of Clapton…absolutely no disrespect to Clapton, but that would’ve been something else
They were in the audience for the show that was a few days after they released the song, but not this show this one was on December 22, half a year later
Yes. And, to this day, Paul McCartney considers the fact that Jimi covered Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Ban and, indeed, opened that gig with it only two days after it had been released, as the greatest complement, professionally, and as a musician, he has ever had. And, considering that the Beatles were BIG Hendrix fans, felt the same.
It's so hard to appreciate just how impressive this is unless you play music because this isn't something that most people can do within 2 days of hearing a song for the first time. Jimi and his band wrote an entire rearrangement for this cover and it sounds phenomenal, but aside from the lyrics and the general melody (which Jimi still had to teach himself how to play on guitar), everything else was written by Jimi and his band. I can only imagine them staying up for 2 days straight playing nothing but this song because that's pretty much what it would take to do this.
What's funny is that this likely took an hour or less for them to put together, given their skills and the fact that the song isn't terribly difficult, despite being a great tune (most of the best songs in fact are pretty straightforward). I can assure you they did not need 2 straight days without sleep to learn it. I suck and I learned it after lunch one day (not claiming I play it as well as Jimi, nor the Beatles, but I can say I play it correctly in terms of the chords, melody and rhythm).
After this Jimis guitar was so out of tune due to the heavy use of the whammy bar that he had to call up Eric Clapton from the audience to come and tune it for him
Bruh everyone chill jeez this concert in this video was half a year later on December 22nd, there is *0* footage of the concert when he played Sgt pepper right after it came out this is a completely different show just at the same place
Amazing footage, 'watch your ears', throwing away the ciggy to start singing, that growl when the lead comes in, getting a replacement pick to replace the one that flew with the ciggy. Just love it!
This version, improvised and unrehearsed, was 3 days after the premiere of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles, in London. Many famous British rockers went to the concert because of rumors of a guy who played the guitar like a demon, among them were Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, and others.
I hate when you say to people Jimi Hendrix is a great guitarist and gate keepers will jump on you to say, "hE's NoT tHe BeSt!!!". Okay, well there's room for everyone to be great! You don't need a top 100 list of greatest guitarists of all time to tell you that. Besides it's all relative anyway. Their all fucking great. What matters is they are all brilliant artists in their own ways and I appreciate the most popular ones to the ones busking at corners or online. If you can move people I'm interested.
In this day and age of multiple 40' tractor trailers pulling up to arenas full of musical equipment and carnival like stage gear, Jimi's truck was a 9ft U-haul type truck which carried the entire band's gear.
I love first time reaction videos. Here's how I would describe my first time reaction: I instantly felt in my gut that this was a better rendition than the original, and it was true!
I know this isn’t the actual show that was two days after the release of Stg Peppers album but other accounts of that show indicate that the Beatles were upset that he did this. Even when Paul recounts the story over the years and says it was a compliment, it’s clear in his tone that he resented it and is just saying that so he doesn’t come off as angry, jealous or petty. Especially since he’s dead.
“If the Beatles don’t play it live, then I will”
-Jimi
Lol
the never played it live?
@@totomaiden08 The Beatles were almost entirely a studio band for the latter part of their career.

For real
I was excited to find this
I was scrolling for awhile 😂
@@Rosecain27 for real for real
it is not the first play of Sgt. Pepper, this is from some other concert later..the guitar is not the same
I like how Jimi cared about people's hearing genuinely. "watch out for your ears!" 😊
sounds like an acid thought to me
I can't help but feel like it was a small threat.
Audience “Turn your volume down.”
That's Jimi version of "I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet." lol
He would even warn three times and each time a different way "Watch out your ears" "Watch out for your ears" Watch out for ears", just like when he improvised music...
Man people dont realize how important CZcams is. Im so thankful for this platform

This right here is the most badass moment in the history of music
Love how ferociously Jimi pulls that cigarette out of his mouth and immediately starts singing ahaha the part with the missing pick is classic too
Love how effortlessly he could play a solo
Like the guitar is part of his body.
The coolest guy that ever lived. I feel more connected to him than anyone I've ever met.
Hey man I hope you you're never alone, and we're all loved and supported. I love you my friend ❤ 🤍 💙 🧡 🖤
coolest guy that ever lived is the perfect description of jimi hendrix
I believe Paul McCartney pulled some strings for Jimi to play at a festival, hence the Sgt. Peppers tribute. Super cool!
was no festival this was like at the blazers club
According to Jimi himself, he didn't know Macca was in the audience when he played it. He just loved the song and loved The Beatles.
The sounds this guy could make with a guitar. No one has ever come close.
that rhythm lick he adds at the end ...
Well, this gave me this chills
I just love how he throws the cigarette away before singing
Probably why I can't hear today. Went to see Jimi in 1968, on my 15th birthday. Cream, Lee Michaels, Pink Floyd, Janis, The Doors, and on and on. No wonder I can't hear. Best musical era, though.
What 👂 ? Can you say it louder I have Marshall stackinitis
What?
Crazy skill and balls of steel to play this two days after the debut of Sgt. Pepper AND with Beatle Paul sitting in the audience. Awesome tribute!!
Man was a force of nature.

@@christiansworldofwonder9059 fuzz face I believe
Germanium fuzz pedal. Probably a fuzz face. Probably modified a bit by Roger Mayer.
Definitely!
Was Paul and George in the crowd in this?
And Townsend
No....this performance here is from December 1967.
Here’s McCartney say they were all there czcams.com/video/o6IXZVYvu2w/video.html
@@gsgreens6373 yes they were on a concert where he played sgt pepper but not on this one
Not this show nope, this one was played on December 22, but the one a few days after og release yes they were, he even asked Clapton to tune his guitar but he didn't✋😔
I was 2 weeks old when he died. Been a fan my entire life. There's something about Jimi that noone else possess. His style, rhythm, attitude and gift he was born with is like no other. Let's not dwell on what we lost, but celebrate what we had!
The mutual respect between Jimi and the Beatles is beautiful. If only the had a chance to work together. I guess the world wasn’t ready..
Imagine if Hendrix had played on “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” instead of Clapton…absolutely no disrespect to Clapton, but that would’ve been something else
I think The Beatles were in the audience when it happened.
They were in the audience for the show that was a few days after they released the song, but not this show this one was on December 22, half a year later
Yes. And, to this day, Paul McCartney considers the fact that Jimi covered Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Ban and, indeed, opened that gig with it only two days after it had been released, as the greatest complement, professionally, and as a musician, he has ever had. And, considering that the Beatles were BIG Hendrix fans, felt the same.
Paul and George.
Force of nature ...will never see his like again.
Nervo 63. Don`t b to sure about that statement. You really don`t truly know.
@@RICHBLACKCOCK Yes you are correct...but will take someone very special.
Imagine if someone like Jimi did a version of this today. People would be shocked!!!
and someone would make a copyright claim against him.
@@cosmikrelic4815 you cant sue somebody because they did a cover of your song.
@@whatburnsneverreturns true, unless he did it on youtube without paying royalties.
It's so hard to appreciate just how impressive this is unless you play music because this isn't something that most people can do within 2 days of hearing a song for the first time. Jimi and his band wrote an entire rearrangement for this cover and it sounds phenomenal, but aside from the lyrics and the general melody (which Jimi still had to teach himself how to play on guitar), everything else was written by Jimi and his band. I can only imagine them staying up for 2 days straight playing nothing but this song because that's pretty much what it would take to do this.
What's funny is that this likely took an hour or less for them to put together, given their skills and the fact that the song isn't terribly difficult, despite being a great tune (most of the best songs in fact are pretty straightforward). I can assure you they did not need 2 straight days without sleep to learn it. I suck and I learned it after lunch one day (not claiming I play it as well as Jimi, nor the Beatles, but I can say I play it correctly in terms of the chords, melody and rhythm).
The 60s and 70s...What a truly magical time for rock/pop music...🎸🎹🎺🎶🎵
I love the way he casually throws he cigarette out of his mouth between strums , just before he starts singing
After this Jimis guitar was so out of tune due to the heavy use of the whammy bar that he had to call up Eric Clapton from the audience to come and tune it for him
no, that didn't happen. that's BS
@@josephfalco3141 paul mccartney himself who was present at this concert said that this happened
I believe that was at a different concert a year earlier
It happened but Clapton didn't come up to tune his guitar. czcams.com/video/o6IXZVYvu2w/video.html
Bruh everyone chill jeez this concert in this video was half a year later on December 22nd, there is *0* footage of the concert when he played Sgt pepper right after it came out this is a completely different show just at the same place
I feel so lucky that this was actually recorded
I can only imagine how It would have been in the late 60s with so many great artists releasing legendary tracks
Jimi was like "Whoa!! This new Beatles song rocks, I'm gonna learn it immediately and play it live... my style. Watch your ears... and enjoy."
How lucky are we to be able to sit here on our phones and watch this incredible performance
O fato de termos isso gravado é incrível
There's something about the way he plays those solos where it's just magical
Jimi only heard it 4 days earlier!!! ROCK GUITAR 🎸 GOD♥️🔥🏆
If it was not on this video no one would believe.
A miracle this was recorded
Amazing footage, 'watch your ears', throwing away the ciggy to start singing, that growl when the lead comes in, getting a replacement pick to replace the one that flew with the ciggy. Just love it!
When legends go to watch your show you are the legend
This version, improvised and unrehearsed, was 3 days after the premiere of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles, in London. Many famous British rockers went to the concert because of rumors of a guy who played the guitar like a demon, among them were Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, and others.
This is like go into a time machine!!! Amazing!!
Unbelievable the best guitar player ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate when you say to people Jimi Hendrix is a great guitarist and gate keepers will jump on you to say, "hE's NoT tHe BeSt!!!".
Okay, well there's room for everyone to be great! You don't need a top 100 list of greatest guitarists of all time to tell you that. Besides it's all relative anyway. Their all fucking great. What matters is they are all brilliant artists in their own ways and I appreciate the most popular ones to the ones busking at corners or online. If you can move people I'm interested.
In this day and age of multiple 40' tractor trailers pulling up to arenas full of musical equipment and carnival like stage gear, Jimi's truck was a 9ft U-haul type truck which carried the entire band's gear.
Oh Jimi ....the coolest ( and sexiest ) man to ever play a guitar....wow!
Hendrix was fantastic!
a legend that "plays" another legend....
Every cover he did, he made it only better.
With only mild clapping. Wow.
Jimi had compact disc for a medallion!!
Good grief I can't imagine standing in front of that many Marshalls in such a close capacity! LOL!
The sheer Audacity to pull this off is incredible given the circumstances
"Watch out for your ears" By The legend
I love first time reaction videos. Here's how I would describe my first time reaction: I instantly felt in my gut that this was a better rendition than the original, and it was true!
Number 1 ...and a really great human being . We miss you Jimi .
Both in his attire and his mastery of his craft, Jimi is the Merlin of music
Love you Jimi
beautiful. I forgot how much I loved Hendrix
I know this isn’t the actual show that was two days after the release of Stg Peppers album but other accounts of that show indicate that the Beatles were upset that he did this. Even when Paul recounts the story over the years and says it was a compliment, it’s clear in his tone that he resented it and is just saying that so he doesn’t come off as angry, jealous or petty. Especially since he’s dead.
1st time your classic song is performed live its by Jimi Hendrix....that is legendary!!
Amazing, only 3 guys can make so much noise.
And the Beatles were in the audience
lendário demais
Jesus Christ this guy was so good. It hurts.
According to Paul. "The song was just released and Jimi opened with it live 2 days later." Talk about a powerhouse that Jimi was.
Jimi Hendrix is pure bad ass cool.
Damn...now that’s the power of soul.
I needed this today...
This was not the concert with the Beatles in the crowd. This is the Christmas on earth inert from 1967
