Love your videos. How cool is it that cops were into Jimi Hendrix before many Americans!
Another absolutely fantastic, meticuolusly researched episode, accompanied by amazing photos. Thank you!
fascinating.
At 38:40, the picture of Hendrix and listed as Peter Tork is wrong. That is actually Rodney Bingenheimer with Jimi.
It's almost like You're there. a virtual time machine.
Just think of the pace. man
Blue gels 🔷plus One Rainy Wish = bliss
Congratulations, on a well presented piece on what was happening with Jimi during that magical June, Summer of Love…which really launched his success ! From Karl Ferris.
Two things about the 2-3 days Jimi spent in NYC prior to Monterey Festival. There was a tune-up gig or rehearsal by the Experience in Greenwich Village at either Cafe Wha? or Cafe A-Go-Go, (I can't be certain which). From your timelines I believe it had to be on June 14th since you say Mitch and Noel didn't arrive until the 14th. Also, during this time the Mothers of Invention were doing shows at the Garrick Theatre, around the corner. There are photos of Jimi and Frank at this time. I understand they spent some time together exploring guitar pedals/effects. etc. The reason I'm contacting you is, during this time, June 13-15th, I along with a buddy were sixteen year old run-aways staying in Greenwich Village. On what is most likely the 14th, we were on the street and heard the wildest, most amazing guitar sounds coming from either of the two clubs mentioned, and stood outside in a small crowd listening. I asked someone who it was and he replied. "It's the Experience, man." I've relayed this experience over the years to friends and also on You Tube, and some find it hard to believe. Maybe Jimi was jamming with other musicians, or maybe it was all three doing a tune-up/rehearsal but it was as real as I'm sitting here, some 56 years later. Can you shed some light on this?
Jimi wanted the cover of the Axis Bold as Love album to be in the theme of american indians, but the designer misunderstood him for it to be in India style. By the time Jimi found out the covers were already in printing and to late to do anything about it.
Especially these days, but even back then, few people truly realize the enormity of Jimi's genius.
Dsatroying guitars is sacrilege no matter who does it.
Who were the people allowed to make the decisions for all his British album covers? AYE cover was bland and basic, Axis cover was a terrible idea juxtaposing Hendrix with sacred Hindu imagery and Electric Ladyland cover was cheap and sordid. Seems these decisions were done behind the band's back and they only became aware of them after release and were rightly not too pleased with the results after producing groundbreaking music to go inside these badly judged album covers.
Proof that he could play the guitar strung up side down @ 18:12.
Jimi could have been a model in addition to being a stellar musician.
So sad.. jimmy was a guy that really wanted to keep to himself.didnt care for the limelight..his stardom put him in a position he had no choice.
The Monterey performance wasn't released until 1986. One of the greatest most impactful rock gigs of all time without doubt.
That photo that states Hendrix with Peter Tork, is actually Rodney Biggenheimer, a Los Angeles dj
Love the series.June 1967 episode was the best.Sadly enough these videos bring to light what an enormous loss it was to lose Jimi Hendrix.A true 20th century musical genius.
Your dillagence is unmatched. Wonderful channel. We stop what we’re doing to hear the newest episode while we’re on tour. Amazing.
