I love the 'every guy gets an afro' look of the Jimi Hendrix Experience. The video shows a live performance. It's great, especially when it gets to the end and you see all the well-dressed kids in the audience, as though this was to appear on the Patty Duke show or something. Yes mother dear, we enjoyed our trip to visit the performing madmen from outer space ever so much. Jimi also sings 'kiss this guy' and points to Noel Redding. Mitch Mitchell drums like Animal from the Muppets. Another forever riff like Day Tripper.
Have you ever seen the hippie exploitation movie Psych Out, with Jack Nicholson (as Stoney)? In the film, his band, Mumblin Jim, are playing this pathetic Purple Haze ripoff. Pretty hilarious. OK, actors, in this scene you are hippies, dance around like you're hippies. Oh wow, Jack, you are so groovy...how would you guys like a chance at the Ballroom? Wow, man, that's really groovy. I can play my freedom rock, man.
