Jimi Hendrix – I Don’t Live Today

This is a live performance by guitar legend Jimi Hendrix and his band The Jimi Hendrix Experience. The performance is from The Royal Albert Hall in 1969. After the performance there’s a short interview at the end of the video.
The song “I Don’t Live Today” is from the band’s debut album “Are You Experienced” released in 1967. The album was very successful and helped launch Hendrix’s career. It reached #2 on the UK charts behind The Beatles with their album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”.
I really love this performance. Hendrix’s playing and singing on this is sublime and Mitch Mitchell’s drumming on this song is just sublime.
A great performance of a great song.

Enjoy ; )

Jimi Hendrix - Fire

This is a performance from the 1969 concert at Woodstock, a now famous hippie music festival where Hendrix played back in 69.
The song "Fire" was recorded in 1967 by Hendrix and his band "The Jimi Hendrix Experience" on the 1967 record "Are You Experienced".
It has become one of Hendrix' many famous songs, and has also been covered by a couple of artists, including; Red Hot Chili Peppers and Alice Cooper. It is more a rock song, due to the power chords and simple structure.
It's a great little performance by Hendrix and his band.

Enjoy ; )
