Hendrix at Woodstock (Neurophilosophy)

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 20:29:58 GMT

Here's some awesome footage of the one and only Jimi Hendrix performing at Woodstock. At around 11 minutes in, he plays the guitar with his teeth. Yes...with his teeth . And it still sounds great. The hippies at the event are really dirty, and some of them take a much-needed dip in a lake, so the film does contain a tiny bit of nudity, as well as some drug-taking. Read the comments on...

And he's only got nine fingers. From his landmark album The Wind and The Wheat , here's Phil Keaggy playing an abbreviated version of the title track. It is rumored that Jimi Hendrix was asked, "What's it like to be the greatest guitar player in the world?" He is said to have responded, "I don't know. Ask Phil Keaggy." That is an urban legend. I had the opportunity to interview Keaggy...

All those people belong to the "27 Club" meaning they died at that age... all except Anne who, according to The Times, "just missed" by dying at 29 (28 according - incorrectly - to her tombstone).

Between 1965 and 1967 this was the late-night hang-out of choice for London's rock royalty. It was here that Who Manager Kit Lambert first saw the Jimi Hendrix Experience perform, and signed the band to Track Records virtually on the spot. 'The Scotch' was a favourite watering hole of Keith Moon and John Entwistle.
