Something Mr. Kramer just shared which popped up in my Newsfeed. How amazing Hendrix had become in terms of songwriting and arranging in just a few short years.
 

 
They just don't make them like that anymore...

You're right Krist.
 
Today they'd spell it Hendryx.

There will never be another Jimi. The more you find out about him the more amazing he becomes

that was pretty cool....
always have dug that tune.....
more true to his roots than some of the more experimental 'white' psychedlic progressive stuff
(which i also love)

Thanks for sharing this!!
 

Makes me ashamed of how easy it is now. And I still can't match it. Sigh.

Funny to hear him talk, it's the Trans-Atlantic accent that seemed to be very popular among musicians and radio DJ's at the time with a little South African poking its head out now and then.

I've never really known him or put a face on his name when he was younger, so to me, Eddie Kramer is this older gentleman and respectable producer - pretty much as he is now. It's cool to see him all hip and totally relaxed.
 
 

That's very cool. Interesting how nice that D.I. guitar track sounds.

Technically speaking, it's also cool to see (and hear) how they achieved that sound and did things the exact opposite way from what most engineers would normally be doing nowadays.
 
Same as the way Jimi used out of phase tricks to push instruments up front on Electric Ladyland.
 
There's so much freedom in there, and such a feeling that the music is happening in font of you...
