Jimi Hendrix (1973) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #JimiHendrix

This musical documentary captures the elusive character of one of rock's greatest musicians: Rock 'n' Roll Hall-of-Famer Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix, arguably the most influential guitarist in the history of rock 'n' roll, is shown in rare performances, interviews and behind-the-scenes footage including such legendary songs as "Purple Haze," "Little Wing," and "Foxy Lady." Hendrix's all-too-brief career was cut short by a fatal overdose at the age of 27 in 1970.

Directed By Joe Boyd, John Head, Gary Weis
Starring Arthur Allen, Albert Allen, Stella Benabon

“Can I do that one more time?”
“Yes, Jimi fucking Hendrix. You can do that as many times as you want. You can shit on the floor and have my car too.”

It truly is incredible that Jimi was able to come back from the dead 3 years after he died to record this take!

A 12-string tuned down is the best sounding instrument ever

[cvyovnz]

I don't think people fully understand how truly precious this is for human history.

“Don’t waste all that film there”
Makes me cry 😢
Guy was so humble about his own abilities….

[EmericaNobles]

What most people don’t know is that Jimi completely improvised this on the spot and that’s why he initially started playing it sounded completely different that what he ended up playing. Pure genius

[lukemarsden]

he's improvising, on a new guitar, on the spot in front of camera, at the age of 23-24, truly amazing - you can tell his heart and soul was truly in the blues, he lived and breathed every aspect of his roots, - a truly truly magical man - what a musical talent - we should be so glad cameras and recording technology was around the capture him.

hendrix died in 1970 so its nice to see this ... feels like he is still alive some how... his music is immortal :)

This video was the last thing my best friend posted on his Facebook before he passed away.. RIP JSheks

[deez]

it's sad we didn't get a Hendrix acoustic blues album :(

[Risperdali]

You know, I heard that at first he didn't like singing, but he has a great voice!

[coldramentpm]

still can’t believe i saw this guitar with my own two eyes

[AstroMan]

Jimi was a for real bluesman. He once said that he got tired of blues because it came to him so easy.

[ARDG]

One of the greatest pieces of film all time

[lucguenette]

I was a kid when Hendrix first appeared, now at 65 i see a kid, playing that tune, a phenominal kid, and i was a lucky kid, thanks Jimi.

Its not about speed or the correct note, its about feeling and emotion. Still the number 1 after his passing 50 years ago

[j-dub]

His legacy as a guitarist is impeccable. It should also be noted that his rhythm, harmony, melody, and singing qualities were also genius caliber.

[markmcnary]

You know, I have to say it, Jimi was great, and if it hadn't been for him, the guitar players that came after him, never would have happened. Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robin Trower, Frankie Marino, and many others wouldn't have come out to play guitar at all. Hendrix was the inspiration for those that came after him. To play, and to be the next generation of guitar gods.

[frandsenphilip]

Every generation has its geniuses - Hendrix on guitar is one of them. It's like Mozart or Beethoven in our age.

[ameyachavan]

what a bloody brilliant piece of music.
