I did not realize that he could make a guitar talk so much!! It was his soul coming outta the thing. After watching/hearing, and I do have the "greatest" Jimi CD, I didn't know how good he was. Watching him play, and humble, made me realize my lack of appreciation to the man. He didn't do many interviews....not the day where 'snapchat", Facebook etc existed.

Have looked a bit at his history. He was in Vietnam, not sure what branch. He was left handed and that his hands were so big that he could do things with the guitar that no one else could. While watching, dude looked like he was playing a kids toy!!

I don't know how much he was paid for that festival? But watching him, he was all about the crowd...fed off them..amazing. I was moved.

In the end, was it better that he died so young or be a Paul McCartney?

Is there anyone else that can/could play better with his soul?

No reason to post this, after watching the special, was wondering 'bout other peoples thoughts about Jimi that I over looked for all these years.

Dafuq did I just read?
