7/4 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 today is the anniversary of his death... November 27, 1942 – September 18, 1970 there's a bunch of pre-existing threads, but none about just Jimi. My favorite tune is Angel...

jazzbo Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 I continue to spin Jimi. . . he is still THE guitarist for me. Just yesterday I was spinning the latest Dagger release (Paris and Ottawa 1968). I couldn't live without Axis Bold as Love and Band of Gypsies.

pasta Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Yeah, sing the song, Bro' If the sun refuse to shine, I don't mind, I don't mind, If the mountains fell in the sea, let it be, it ain't me. Alright, 'cos I got my own world to look through, And I ain't gonna copy you. Now if 6 turned out to be 9, I don't mind, I don't mind, Alright, if all the hippies cut off all their hair, I don't care, I don't care. Dig, 'cos I got my own world to live through And I ain't gonna copy you. White collared conservative flashing down the street, Pointing their plastic finger at me. They're hoping soon my kind will drop and die, But I'm gonna wave my freak flag high, high. Wave on, wave on Fall mountains, just don't fall on me Go ahead on Mr. Business man, you can't dress like me. Sing on Brother, play on drummer.

Christiern Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Found this page from my 1969 appointment calender. The Shep interview was exhausting, the concert was excruciating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Checked out AYE and Ladyland from the library this past weekend and was reminded how much I enjoyed these albums at one time, and wondered why the heck I ever lost interest in them. Now it seems like I'm enjoying them even more than I did back when I first heard these albums (1988). Gotta go get my own copies now, along with the woefully underrated Axis: Bold as Love. Any opinions on First Rays of the New Rising Sun? That's got a lot of my favorite Hendrix tunes on it: "Angel," "Dolly Dagger," and "Room Full of Mirrors" among others.

martini Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 If anyone here ever travels to Seattle, a must see is the Experience Music Project museum: http://www.empsfm.org/ IMO, Jimi is the best thing to have come from Seattle--better than Starbucks, UPS, and definitely my crappy Seattle Mariners. The museum is pretty small, but it is of high quality, and there is plenty to see and do. I went there for the first time a couple of weeks ago and it was cool: they had some handwritten documents from Jimi, the Strat he played at Woodstock, fragments of some of his guitars that he smashed and burned, his actual effects rig, and some of his stage outfits. The museum also plays plenty of rare Jimi films and documentaries throughout the entire venue. The museum also has other cool artifacts, including Clapton's "Brownie" that he played with Derek and the Dominos, and several exhibits about rock music in the Pacific Northwest. It is a place worth checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fer Urbina Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 today is the anniversary of his death... November 27, 1942 – September 18, 1970 there's a bunch of pre-existing threads, but none about just Jimi. My favorite tune is Angel... There's a bootleg version of "Angel" with just Hendrix singing and playing guitar with no effects that's pure magic. This man had ears. The BBC Recordings are a favourite (his guitar playing in "Killing Floor" makes me think his brain was wired up differently to the rest of us).

This week I haven't been in town but next time I'm on Capitol Hill will have to leave him a flower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 The most original and innovative improviser post-Coltrane. No shit. In my top 5 albums of all-time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Any opinions on First Rays of the New Rising Sun? That's got a lot of my favorite Hendrix tunes on it: "Angel," "Dolly Dagger," and "Room Full of Mirrors" among others. Yes.......worth getting. It's basically an expanded version of "Cry of Love" and "Rainbow Bridge". Supposedly, it's the next album he intended to release. If you like those albums, you'll like this. For Band of Gypsys fans, I would also highly recommend (I think Lon would, too) the Dagger release "The Baggy's Rehearsal Sessions". These are very loose and fun jams that the band did in advance of the New Year's shows. Pretty decent quality recordings, too. If you're familiar with "Loose Ends", some of that album was taken from these sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John L Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) I've been listening though some concert tapes from 69-70. What a dynamic artist! Back then, there was an awareness that this might be timeless, but it now seems much more vital with the perspective of time, as the 60s counterculture dross peels off and the music starts to stand alone.
