straight spiritual facts from Hendrix our brother.Don't try copy ,find yourself first then what your talent is then what your purpose with it is.

My brother Paul died aged nine from brain cancer in 1961. I wish he'd lived to have sex, ride my motorbike and listen to the brilliance of this.

This is the best version of message of love I've ever heard, Hendrix's breaking everything as usual, but the harmony between Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell is supernatural ... these guys were fucking awesome and there's no way to compare them to anyone, Hendrix and his friends (Noel and Buddy also) belong to a separate category and above all the rest.

nobody else could make a strat sound like that. Ever.

Easily one of Jimis best sounding live performances. What a tone.

If you play the guitar, as I do, you realize Hendrix was other worldly.  No one will ever play riffs like Hendrix.  He was plugged into an alternate universe, far beyond anything a mere mortal guitarist can comprehend an execute.  A true genius who could not read or write music.  So where does all of this sound come from?  His soul.

I have to disagree with some of the comments that have been made here about Noel. Noel was a guitar player who played bass with a pick, but he played bass, he played bass notes, so he filled the function of providing the moving low end, the solid gap between Hendrix and Mitch. Noel was also a very clever musician who could pick up minimal and unpredictable variations in Hendrix musical directions very quickly, being able to provide solid support to Jimi in all circumstances. Although Billy Cox had more of a bass guitar technique, he was nowhere near the musical independence of Noel Redding. Cox wasn't a free moving musical intelligence, he would only play what Jimi had previously told him. There are countless occasions in which you can clearly hear him completely lost amidst some crazy musical incursion initiated by Jimi. Jimi deepely felt the great loss that was having Noel out of the band. He knew it would be impossible to replace such a musical intelligence and remarkable character. It was Noel who wanted to leave the band due to the incident in Denver. Just listen to Live At Winterland. I've heard almost every Hendrix recording there is, both official and unofficial, from good concerts to really bad audience recordings. Although I like some of the later stuff with Cox on bass, to me the Experience is just a higher level - it was Jimi in his most free, experimental, powerful form.

Jimi didn't play his Strat with his fingers. He played it with his soul! This is why he can play the same song with different riffs. Jimi is the reason Fender started making left handed Strats. Like Jimi, I had to play a right handed guitar. Prior to 1970, there were almost no left guitars that weren't custom.Fender did a poll in 2013 asking professional guitar players who's the"Best Stratocaster player EVER".Overwhelmingly, the choice was clear!James Marshall Hendrix - BEST STRATOCASTER PLAYER EVER!!That's quite a title to get from professional guitar players who REALLY know how to play.Jimi Hendrix - Often imitated, never duplicated!

"Practice. We're talking about practice. Not a game. Practice." (AI). He was what he was playing. JMH could conceive of it and executeit physically in one fluid expression, orchestrating and harmonizing all the voices and polyrhythms occurring simultaneously in his mind. Like his musical father, John Coltrane. He provides the entire arrangement.

@w0rdisbond so he did triplets and quatruplets jazz fusion type of freestyles on the drums, it doesnt mean he was all over the place. He actually had the proper technique & timing to do that sort of shit too, and by him doing that, he helped revolutionalized drumming in rock n roll (not just bonham) whether u believe it or not.

@yugang08 you totally forgot about manic depression, one of few songs where mitch really shined on the track. i got love for both mitch and buddy. anyone discrediting or bagging on either one of their accomplished drum work need to stop kidding themselves and give them both the equal props & respect for their contributions to the late great jimi's work Sorry, for that little rant. Will get back to listening to this classic song

@yugang08 its not really objective to claim one is better than the other
