Hot damn. To a slightly lesser degree, a mate of mine recalls going into a basement bar in York on a quiet night and it was Mark Knopfler doing a solo set.
growing up David Gilmour was a big deal guitarist for Pink Floyd of course and I ss most every other guitarist loved his music and solos anyway he sure avoided answering the question of was he influenced by Jimi’s playing, seriously I know several musicians what the world calls bigtime professional musicians and so many refuse to admit Jimi’s a influence on the guitar playing, and it blows my freakin mind because I know they grew up in the same generation as me and they are guitarist and I just can’t see how anyone any guitarist especially says Jimi fn Hendrix didn’t influence them.. so, I’m gonna be bold enough to say that I’m calling BS on every single one of them… peace gregbaugh
Jimi never really existed period. He's a spook story guitar players are told by their parents."Better behave or Jimi will come and smoke you" Ask Clapton.
Stones , Beatles & Gilmour all in the same club to see a little unknown Jimi Hendrix ranked #1 by rolling stone as the greatest guitarist 🎸of all times year after year after year 🔥I really love❤this man 👞👞
Imagine 50 years from now some kid in an interview, " Yeah, I worked for this old man named Rick Beato and…huh? Yeah, oh yeah, David Gilmour, got to meet him, mmm hmm, and , who else? Let's see, oh gosh,…there was the great Les Claypool from Primus, that's right. Elvis? Nooo, haha , unfortunately….."
And what’s quite humorous is that Linda Keith… who famously introduced Jimi to Chas Chandler in New York… had also taken Jimi around to introduce him to A&R men… in New York. None were interested. Funny enough. You could blame racism. But what about the Decca execs who knocked back the Beatles saying that “guitar music is on the way… out

Wow!! Incredible story, Dave!!
I’m neither British nor old enough to have seen Hendrix… man, would I have loved to see Hendrix!
Not Garry Vitti? Yes, stupid, not
Gary.
How does one even start playing left-handed.
Seems like it what all propaganda. There were 100s of other bands that could have achieved the same Hights but they were not picked. 🙁
I'm confused after all these years,is Jimmy American or British
All tales were once true .
Thank you Dave .
What a sick time to be a musician mustve been then. Total freedom
He was shocked by a kid that he would one day be far more amazing then what he thought was amazing
My 1st concert was Jimi, Miami Florida 1969, I was age 9 😝. Can't forget it
Tom Jones said it's not unusual

Hendrix #1 all times.

How do you go looking for récords if you are complételo broke? Did you plan on stealing?
You know you're pretty good when the beatles and the rolling stones show up to watch you play…
