Back in 1970, Jimi Hendrix and his band flew to a volcano in Maui to give a free concert where the audience was arranged by their astrological sign. Here they perform, “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)”.

My god this is cool
Makes playing look so effortless
Hendrix is the reason I started playing guitar. The guy is a fucking legend. I can’t imagine what his career could have been if he didn’t pass away.
Also, if you like Hendrix – Do yourself a favor and listen to Eric Gales. He plays a lot like Hendrix (to include playing a right-handed guitar left-handed and upside down because he was taught by his left-handed brother). I highly recommend not only listening to him, but going to see a show when he tours near you.
Rainbow Bridge. Never could make it through the whole movie… just FF (vhs) to this part.
Jimi really had some lit fashion
If only I could have been that girl in the blue dress dancing in front of the stage. So cool.
Back in the 70s when rock in roll was first made.
Fucking chills, jimi was a master guitarist
This is how I lost my girlfriend they arranged to send astrology order
People always talk about Jimi and I respect that but goddamn is Mitch Mitchell awesome
The air crackled with energy…
This video quality is amazing
Super cool, but I have to ask, what is the purpose of arranging people by astrological signs?
See this top? Flop.
This is a cool vid, and it reaffirms my opinion that so much of Jimi Hendrix’s appearance and mannerisms are so very similar to Richard Pryors. Fascinating.
This isn’t the same audio
Somebody fix the cymbal!
I understand the reasoning, but always bugs me that the drums were retracked. So distracting
Any proof about the audience arrangement claim. If it weren’t for the “volcano” include , I probably wouldn’t be second guessing. This vid has been circling a while now.
Why did they put a whole chicken on a mic stand?
Makes me feel older than dirt, but I saw Jimi’s last official performance at the Love & Peace Festival in Fehmarn, Germany, September 6, 1970. He died less than two weeks later.
Can’t take me eyes off those Marshall Amps. I wonder where they ended up!
Zero fat people!
One of my favorite versions of voodoo child
What a performance WOW! Flawless. Perfect.
You can tell many of those kids were not ready for this yet.
What does Slight Return mean?
I saw Jimi Hendrix open for the Monkees in 1967 at the Jacksonville auditorium when I was 15. Didn’t know what hit me.
Wonder which ‘sign’ had the most members? …Cancer?
The girl @ 4:00 sitting on the ground wearing a red top MIGHT be on drugs
Is the audience stoned, well except that chick up front dancing like she’s on acid.
The crowd must be stoned off their asses.
It takes so long for just a handful of people to get up to dance
that doesnt look like theyre in a volcano
Rainbow Bridge.
Rainbow Bridge the movie.
Damn looks like it was just shot!
What I find amazing was that this was 50 years ago and 50 years before this was the Charleston and would be rejected as popular music, now and in the 70s. Has there ever been a 50 year period in america where popular music taste has changed as little as now?
Whos mom was tripping out on the ground 2:12 mark?
Can anyone link to other concerts like this??
I’m so glad to still find new footage of this kinda stuff
Maui is one of the windiest places on the planet.
I was there! Thanx for the memory. It was film. Hendrix was reported to have been bummed by the passivity of the audience—actually most everyone was simply too stoned to move—and nearly refused to come out of his tent for 2nd set. But some attitude adjustment provided by the Brotherhood of Eternal Love persuaded him to relent, and the audience by then had come down enough to be more lively. “Rainbow Bridge” was incredibly lame. For one thing, there was no script, just self-conscious improvisation. 😬
“Capricorns here, Leos here, libras- you guys go home” – me, a libra.
Never wanted it to end! You either get his sound or you don’t…fuck this is awesome
Generational genius.
