Really excited to see you do Hendrix. Yet another one, like Billy Preston, like the Isleys, like James Brown who, at one time played in Little Richard's backing band. This is his breakout-he was an earthquake in England when everyone there, including John and Paul, found out about him. Jimi famously played a cover of the Beatles song "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" live on stage two days after the Beatles had released it. Paul was in the audience; he was completely blown away by this guy.

Prince dressed like Hendrix, except with more purple. The foppery, the dandy fashions, were more of a British thing. Also check out clips of The Who performing "I Can See For Miles" also dressed for court with the finery. As for "Hey Joe", The Leaves were the first to record it. They released it as a single in 1965. I recovered a copy of their album with that song on it from an attic when I was a teenager in the eighties. It played with pops and cracks and hiss. Billy Roberts holds claim as the songwriter. He played if for years without recording it, but he did eventually. Other notable covers beyond Jimi Hendrix include versions by Otis Taylor, Lee Moses, Patti Smith, and The Fuzztones.

1967. He changed Rock music overnight. Seattle's Best.

1967 was more the psychedelic era than the hippy era. London's Carnaby Street's clothes were very popular at that point when Hendrix was living in England and they were producing clothes based on the Beatles' Sgt Pepper look, and the Paisley patterned, multi-coloured early Pink Floyd./Small Faces etc. That "Dracula" look has been revamped (see what I did there?) several times since - not least with Prince during his Paisley Park period

[DJBilodeau]

The audience was British, Mug. Culturally more conservative at that time than American audiences. If you watch Jimi at Monterey in '67, the crowd doesn't look and act like that.

I have a long list of favorite guitarists, and Jimi is at the top. That was the style back then. Jimi got famous over in London, and fashion was big over there. The drummer, Mitch Mitchell, was one of the best ever. Both of the other band members are British. Congrats on getting those blue caps off your teeth!

Jimi played with Little Richard before his solo career, thus his attire influence

[hopeklemann]

🌸 anything from the Monterey Pop festival, Jimi included, is fantastic! I think you would really enjoy reacting to anything from there and Jimi did an amazing performance (that performance he plays with his teeth and behind his back and burns his guitar at the end of his set)

I still remember this coming out - I was only 7 but had an older brother in his teens - so I got into a lot of cool music at an early age! We loved hendrix in the UK. It was the time of flower power! Make Love not War (need a bit of that thinking now). Carnaby Street in London was the place to go - flared trousers and hipsters for blokes. Don't know - wasn't into fashion yet at that age - but do remember Twiggy and Mary Quant - the big false eyelashes! Happy days!

[Linda-yh]

Yes. This is right in the thick of hippies dressing to match the music. Everything changed, quickly. These are children of WWII. Vietnam was being protested. Strange and wild days from conservative to not conservative. Jimi ❤

Hendix was a fashion unto himself, and all about the blues.

[DJBilodeau]

Nice catch! Never knew he was playing it with his tongue-that's so crazy!

[maureenloftus]

Rock fashion, (on both sides of the Atlantic), of the late 60’s was very much influenced by British fashion trends in street wear & the “Mods” 😊🤩

[ekathrynlee]

Mugs try to put yourself in the Times. Jimi was a new experience for us. Note how they dressed in the sixties compared to the seventies. This was the beginning of the 70's Rock era. You can't imagine the new freedoms we had in the 70's, we really thought we were going to change the world ☮️

[joyous-bj]

Yeah they were very flashy and colorful with their clothes back then!!

[DJBilodeau]

Excellent program! Enjoyed it very much!

Drummer was dressed in Edwardian style clothes with the ruffles down the center-from King Edwards time in the 1700s while the US dressed in psychedelic colors and patterns as Jimi is wearing-few ruffles except maybe on the cuffs but lots of love beads and maybe a Nehru jacket.

[arthurpendragon]

Jimi and the boys just came over from swinging London and had clothes bought on Carnaby Street where the high fashion stores sold old military uniforms and drum major outfits. The idea was generally to look "outrageous" and "crazy" wearing these things. It was fun to freak out the straight people.

[paulettelamontagne]

I don't know I smoke too big a blunt for some reason I thought it was red house my bad red house is done by every Blues musician in the world I think. Morning mugs

[DJBilodeau]

That fashion you refer to was high style in Britain at the time. Jimi's got a variation of the style going himself. Back in the day for me Mug which was the first half of the '70's I used to have plad bell bottoms and platform shoes. You want to talk about dated???!!!
