HammondDave Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 From the Miami Pop Fesival in 1968... What an amazing performer. And look! I spy a Gibson G101 stage right! Check out the PA at 0:31. Two Voice of the Theatre A7's and a giant horn! Hysterical!

Dana. Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Anyone seen the new biopic starring Andre 3000? Apparently it doesn't have any Hendrix music because the estate repeatedly denied requests to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldwin Funster Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Anyone seen the new biopic starring Andre 3000? Apparently it doesn't have any Hendrix music because the estate repeatedly denied requests to use it. I haven't seen it but I'm guessing Andre 3000 will have to add a few more thousands to do justice to Hendrix. FunMachine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill H. Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I actually saw Hendrix live when I was a student at the University of Washington. This was around the time of Electric Ladyland I believe. I noticed in the Seattle Times that the show wasn't sold out that evening. I asked my roommate if he wanted to catch Hendrix and he declined, so I hopped a bus to the Seattle Center and bought my ticket at the Coliseum just before the show. Seating wasn't bad either - in the second level just above stage right. There were plenty of empty seats. Yeah it was like that back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTango Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I was fortunate to see Hendrix September 1, 1968 at Red Rocks. That night, after that show, Jimi wrote the liner notes for Electric Ladyland back at his Denver hotel. As we used to say, it was far out. Vanilla Fudge opened, turned out my band (Chains) wound up opening for them a few months later at U of Pennsylvania. /end nostalgic rambling only important to me...

Bill H. Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Unfortunately those of us in Seattle got stuck with Noel Redding's side project Fat Mattress as the opener. They were absolutely horrid. There were a number of local bands that could have done much better. But they had the connections, and as I said before things were like that back then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doerfler Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 From the Miami Pop Fesival in 1968... actually a pretty good recording. The crowd was way too polite, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammondDave Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 From the Miami Pop Fesival in 1968... actually a pretty good recording. The crowd was way too polite, though. Polite? More like respecting everyone's right to listen to the music. I hate contemporary audiences who feel that they need to stand and sing along at the top of their lungs, drowning out the artist who I paid to see (and hear). This is a result of today's selfish and entitled generation. Yes, for the most part crowds back then sat politely and listened (or were too stoned to stand up, which is OK too, as long as they don't bother me) '55 and '59 B3's; Leslies 147, 122, 21H; MODX 7+; NUMA Piano X 88; Motif XS7; Mellotrons M300 and M400’s; Wurlitzer 206; Gibson G101; Vox Continental; Mojo 61; Launchkey 88 Mk III; Korg Module; B3X; Model D6; Moog Model D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, for the most part crowds back then sat politely and listened (or were too stoned to stand up, which is OK too, as long as they don't bother me) didn't mean to get you all riled up, David. I was often in the latter catagory myself. Have a great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Dan Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 yeah. people having fun who spent alot of money on concert tickets suck. Of course, concert tickets didn't cost as much as a car payment back then, either.

Steve Nathan Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I actually saw Hendrix live I actually got to open for Hendrix (in Madras pants and beads, no less) at Rich Stadium in Orchard Park, NY on his first major tour!

I hate contemporary audiences who feel that they need to stand and sing along at the top of their lungs, drowning out the artist who I paid to see (and hear). This is a result of today's selfish and entitled generation. I also "saw" The Beatles at Massey Hall in Toronto. I was just 11 rows back, but never heard a single note for all the nonstop screaming girls. Who knew the effect of "today's selfish and entitled generation" reached that far back Don't rush me. I'm playing as slowly as I can! http://www.stevenathanmusic.com/stevenathanmusic.com/HOME.html https://apple.co/2EGpYXK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
