Cool vid, combines the London's swinging 60s fashions with a visually great quality Hendrix performance.

I'm blown away by the early Hendrix footage. The camera angles and setting are so intimate. In that setting, he contrasted like night and day with the audience. What an image, what music. Wow!

Jimi is God. Some day there will be a Second Coming.

Everyone in the audience is dressed in a suit! I guess that's 1967 for you. Couldn't imagine that in today's day and age. Plus there's hardly any shrieking or "woooooooo! yeah!!!!! F@ck yeah!!!"s coming from those kids. I believe things began to get much more casual by early 1969.

That's some really interesting observations; I didn't even think about it until you mentioned it.

Where did all of that noise come from anyway? (hoping for a history lesson here)

White collared conservative flashing down the street,

Pointing their plastic finger at me.
They're hoping soon my kind will drop and die,
But I'm gonna wave my freak flag high, high.
Wave on, wave on
Fall mountains, just don't fall on me
Go ahead on Mr. Business man, you can't dress like me.
Sing on Brother, play on drummer.

Some of those audience members look scared after Jimi's solo.

You got me. Perhaps British audiences were more reserved than their American counterparts at the time. You hear polite applause during Led Zeppelin's 1973 London shows - the audience waiting until the end of each song before clapping, the American shows have a far more raucous crowd - lots of yelling and jumping around in the audience, firecrackers being set off, etc. Same goes for the Stones 1969 Hyde Park London concert where the audience was practically silent vs the frenzied American shows later that year, culminating in the ill fated Altamont performance. Nowadays concert crowd noise is completely out of control. An artist can't even play a quiet song without "Yeahhhhh!!!!! Play it!!!!!" interrupting the performance.
