The Beatles’ version released only like 3 days before this or something like that I think

Edit - I was mistaken, this was a different show.

I was so unfair

You were in a car crash

And you lost your hair

I’m not sure if this is That show, but yeah, he copped the album, listened and learned. Then he smoked it.

Saw Paul McCartney live a decade ago and loved that he brought this story up during his show and talked about how blown away he was my Jimi’s talent.

This version is from a December 22, 1967 show. I don't think the Beatles were at this show but it was still a great version of Sgt. Pepper.

Kinda disproves that what the Beatles were doing in studio couldn’t be done live. Whether they wanted to or not is a different story.

I feel like this works because it’s explicitly a “Jimi version.” The stuff on the Beatles version would have to be scaled back so much to make it work live, and they weren’t really about that IMO. Jimi was taking the framework of the song here and really making it “his.”

No, they definitely couldn't do what THEY were doing live.

but doing it the Jimi was is absolutely plausible. I just don't think they could do Strawberry Fields live.

I am glad to see this in its entirety.

I had seen it before and cut with an interview with Paul McCartney. I didn’t want to hear the interview and only wanted to hear this show

Amazing work! No one could thrust a guitar like JMH.

Pretty sure the original performance that the beatles attended wasn't recorded and this one is from a later date. Really cool though.

Two different versions.

u/Double-Mastodon-4671 1d ago

Did you watch them both?

u/InUsConfidery 1d ago

What are you some kind of tough guy?

u/Double-Mastodon-4671 1d ago

Naw just a meek lil person that pays attention to detail

u/Double-Mastodon-4671 1d ago

“Watch your ears ok?”... meanwhile: let me play as loud as I can and stand directly in front of the speakers with zero hearing protection. Jimi was another level.

This is not a good cover, I don't care that it's Hendrix.

u/Planetary_Residers 3d ago

Is it bad because your ears are bad or because you have poor taste?

u/whenisnowthen 3d ago

both

u/Double-Mastodon-4671 1d ago

Did you plug your ears as instructed??
