THE SEATTLE TIMES - “On With Hendrix” by Susan Schwartz:

“Jimi Hendrix proved he was a showman last night. He played on unpurturbed [sic] in spite of a rip growing down the seat of his pants and a Seattle Coliseum with house lights turned on and sound system turned off. (Some spectators had clustered around the stage, and the police curbed the show until they sat back down.) Under the circumstances, Seattle’s native son could be forgiven if his performance was less than great. It was good.
Hendrix’s trio has a heavy metals blues sound. Last night most of their numbers…
….And he definitely is the star. His shirt is spangled - the British drummer and bass-guitar player wear.. red t-shirts. Hendrix does the singing and talking; the two young Englishmen are silent. His stage personality is appealing: natural, friendly, considerate of the audience. Musically, though, he was outclassed by the quartet that played before him - the Vanilla Fudge, from New York…
….monk in Eisenstein’s Alexander Nevsky.
Luckily their music outweighs their melodrama.
In live performance, they can sound like their records, but they don’t have to. That is, they don’t depend on a studio engineer for the sound that gives them hit records, and they can create more than just those hit records sounds. This was shown by a set of long improvised solos, one from each member of the group, that took rock through boogie, jazz and blues and brought the audience to it’s feet in a standing ovation.”

J'avais écrit sur un autre topic que j'aurais rêvé de cette rythmique (Tim BOGERT - Carmine APPICE) derrière Jimi.

Tu m'étonnes !
Tu as vu l'état des Marshall derrière ?

Oui, il a confondu ses Marshall avec Moby Dick, mais il faut une sacrée force pour déglinguer une strat !
