1:03:00
...but playin' that number and
at that point in the number doin' this.
1:03:03
If you don't do it or if you don't smash
your amp up at the end...
1:03:08
...people get disappointed.
I know how that feels.
1:03:13
I don't care, man.
I don't care what they say anymore.
1:03:16
It's up to them. If they want
to mess up the evening...
1:03:19
...by lookin' at one thing. You know,
because all that is included, man.
1:03:22
When I feel like playin' with my teeth,
I do it because I feel like it, you know.
1:03:26
All that is complete. When I'm onstage,
I'm completely natural, more so than...
1:03:30
...talkin' to a group of people or something.
1:03:32
Black radio didn't want to play
Jimi Hendrix's music because they said...
1:03:37
...not only did his music not relate,
but the people that went...
1:03:40
...to see Jimi Hendrix wasn't the crowd
that'd listen to a black station.
1:03:44
Then, on most of the white pop stations,
they said it was too hard...
1:03:48
...and that he wasn't relating
to that audience.
1:03:51
Then you'd go to a concert
and it was standing room only.
1:03:53
He wasn't much of a color talker,
because...
1:03:57
...the way he lived...
He grew up down in Seattle.
1:04:01
I remember one time we was walkin'
towards Eighth Street.
1:04:04
I was tellin' you this the other day.
1:04:06
And, Albert, we were rappin'
about a few things, you know...
1:04:09
...that were wrong with the studio.
1:04:13
So, there was this guy
sellin' Black Panther papers.
1:04:16
He said, "Black Panther, brother."
You understand?
1:04:18
So, I was walkin' by, because my head
was somewhere else at the time.
1:04:23
My head was probably involved
with my music.
1:04:26
But Jimi picked up on it,
picked up on our vibes.
1:04:29
So the first thing he did was
he bought the paper.
1:04:31
- First thing, right.
- So, Albert and I looked at each other.
1:04:36
So the guy said, so the Panther said,
"Oh, wow, brothers!"
1:04:40
"Jimi Hendrix buyin' a paper,
Black Panther paper, and y'all not?"
1:04:44
So, we say, "Yeah, well, Jimi Hendrix
bought a paper 'cause he wanted a paper."
1:04:49
"We don't." But then Jimi looked at us...
1:04:52
He looked at us as though the reason
he bought the paper was to impress us.
1:04:57
Mitch and I had left.
We went back to England and Jimi got...
