https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gv3cKLWQimEI think this video really captures the rebel spirit of Jimi Hendrix, and how he was all about changing things up and stirring the pot.
Look out for these moments of pure win.
:08 The "WTF was that?" look on the prim and proper TV show hostess as some feedback escapes... it's funny (and ironic) how eager she is to hear the "hit song"
:25 That wonderfully orchestrated feedback/jam lasts almost a whole minute, which is an eternity on a TV show
1:48 The look on Hendrix' face as he realizes his guitar string has gone waaay out of tune
2:00 He quotes The Beatles'
I Feel Fine 2:22 Jimi "forgets the words"
2:56 They trash their own hit song right smack in the middle, then break out into a searing version of a Cream hit song
3:50 The GTFO look that Jimi gives to the TV crew as they signal him to cut it short
4:10 Mitch Mitchell and Hendrix exchange a quick look to communicate the wind down of the jam
Is it a cliche to say that this video defines the word "cool"? If there are any other vids out there that capture this kind of elan, I'd love to see it!
