All language subtitles for Hendrix (2000)

www.titlovi.com

I see miracles every day now.

I used to be aware of them
maybe once a week,

but some are so drastic, you know,

that I couldn't explain them
to a person or, uh...

I'd probably be locked
in by this time, you know.

I'm no better than you in any sense.

It's just that maybe I'm not going to say it

until a wider range of people see it.

It's a universal thought.

It's not a black or a white thing

or a green and gold thing.

There are a few chosen people here
to help get these people

out of this certain sleepiness
that they're in.

Camera ready.
- Okay, well, uh...

Let's wait for the siren.
Okay, that's good enough. Ready?

Are we ready?
- Roll camera and sound.

Are we rolling?

Okay, Jimi, thank you for inviting us
to your house.

Today is...

Uh, let me see.

Today is september the 12th, 1970,

and sir Richard Nixon is, of course,
the president of the United States.

There's a lot going on. You know,
the four kids got killed at Kent State.

They were shot by the national guard.
I think that's terrible.

Of course, Nixon didn't come
to the benefit we did

for Timothy Leary.
Should have been there, you know.

Joe Frazier's the champ, you know,
a lot of things.

Ali's fighting, you know, his way back, man.

And, of course, we know Ali was right about the war, and so, you know.

You were a paratrooper, weren't you?

Yeah, I, uh, I served as an army airborne,

you know, and then I broke my ankle,

so that's how I got out.

Is that where you learned to play guitar?

No, no, no, I've learned different places,
many different ways,

but, uh, I learned, you know, in Seattle - Home.

Here.

It ain't new, but...

Oh, that's right, you left-handed, ain't you?

Well, you're just going to have to learn how to play it backwards, huh?

Probably.

You got some big hands. You ought to be able to choke that thing pretty good, huh?

Hey, you look like a guitar player.

It's too late to be coming around here, Lucille.

I need to see my son, Al.

But not like this.

Hold your horses, Earl!

Damn it, Lucille.

Hi, mama.

I miss you.

I miss you, too.

I never knew you played guitar.

Yeah.

It sounds good.

Thank you, mama.

Hey, I have to go away for a while.

I'll call you. I'll be back soon.

All right? Okay.

I love you.

I love you, too, mama.

Okay, I better go.

You take care.

Lucille, come on!

Coming, coming.

Don't come around here.

This boy got nothing to do with you.

Goodbye, Al - Get on out of the way.

Yeah, you'll be back.

Once a paratrooper, always a paratrooper. Yeah right, man.

Every time you see a plane, you're gonna feel something.

No, no, no. Kentucky ain't that warm and friendly to me, man

Man, there's rednecks everywhere.

Can't get away from that.

You got worse than me. You're going to civilian America.

That's where the real war is.

War? Exactly. War, man. But I'm going somewhere to find some love.

I ain't gonna be around you foolish dudes my whole time, man.

There will be a number of women in my world.

Could dig that.

Hope to join you some day.

Yeah, hope you do, too, man. It'd be really good, if we could play together, though.

Oh, it'll happen.

It'll happen.

I'll be practicing.

So what you gonna do in the mean time, to make money?

I'm gonna play, man. You laugh. See, I knew you was gonna laugh.

You don't really expect to leave here and get paid to play the guitar.

I'm gonna try, man. I'm really gonna try.

Thank you. That was good.

'Cause I let go? Yes, you did,

But when I said to let your thunder fly,

I did not mean higher than mine.

I mean, look at you. You're dressed like me,

you even grew a little mustache like mine.

I know that emulation is the highest form of flattery,

And, believe me, I am flattered,

but now it's time for you to move on without me.

And later, I played with Lonnie Youngblood and gorgeous George Odell.

The Isley Brothers, Sam Cooke. I played with Chuck Jackson, um...

Jackie Wilson.

Ike and Tina, of course.

And with Joey Dee & the Starliters at the Peppermint Lounge.

I played with King Curtis.

I even played and won first place

at the Apollo amateur contest.

It was a whopping $25.

That's where i met Faye Pridgeon -

Sam cooke's ex.

She was my saving grace, though, man.

No matter what, she was always there for me.

You know, and when - When he started, like, talking to me,

honestly, I thought he was about to give me

a raise and all because I had played so well.

It was the first time that I really had let go, you know.

He told me to.

It's probably the best thing that could have happened.

You just got to move on. Something else will come up.

What's going to come up - More moldy bread to cut?

Look, why don't we go down to 126th street
and celebrate, huh?

Are we going to celebrate the fact that I just got fired

or that we don't have money for rent?

No.

We're going to celebrate my baby getting hired.

I talked to a friend of Sam's.

Curtis Knight is looking for a guitar player, hmm?

Oh, baby, I just can't do it.

I don't think I can be background for these cats

who don't know what I'm about.

You know, the Isleys and Pickett

and Ike and Tina, and they're great and all,

but it's like I frighten them.

I know, I know, but for now...

Hmm? For now, huh? For now what?

It's you and me.

Did you see the faces on them old fools in the band

when you got to moving them hips?

That was something. Yeah.

What's wrong, Jimmy?

They don't like to listen to what I tell them,

and I don't need them - They need me.

But it's their guitar, ain't it?

Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt.

We just saw the show. You were great.

Thank you. Not the band - You.

Oh, this is Marc.

He runs a club - Cafe wha? In the Village.

He's interested in you.

Cafe wha?

Interested in what?

I'd love to have you play at my club, that's all.

I think you're...different.

Sounds good. Different - That sounds about right.

So think about it. Again, you were good. What's your name?

James Marshall Hendrix. You can call me Jimmy.

And this is Faye Pridgeon. What's your name?

Linda Keith.

Linda Keith.

It's nice to meet you both, and I hope you think about it.

Yeah, man.

That's a hustle, baby.

They're just uptown hunting.

Yeah, well, ain't nothing wrong with that shit.

This time you tell the band that you're quitting,

because I sure ain't.

Then I just got tired and couldn't stand it anymore,

so then I formed The Blue Flames in '66

with Randy California,

who later formed, um, Spirit,

and with on and off

guitar player friend, Jeff Baxter.

It was at the Village that I discovered the fuzz-tone box

through Ken Weaver of The Fugs, you know.

I can remember that June,

The Rolling Stones arrived in New York,

and with them was Linda Keith.

She was Keith Richards' girlfriend.

I had this dream that something was going to happen,

seeing the number 1966 in my sleep,

so I felt like I was just passing time until then, really.

I thought you were going to sing.

Oh, he wouldn't allow me. He will not.

No, don't blame me.

We had a deal.

My voice, it ain't no good. I can't be trying to sing.

It didn't stop Dylan.

That's true.

You have to sing. You hear me?

Okay.

I don't want to hit you if I hear "sing" again.

You understand?

Stop it. I can't breathe.

So all of a sudden, Faye don't understand, huh?

She understood when you needed a place to stay, didn't she?

She understood when your black ass came to town broke

And without a job, didn't she?

Look, this ain't about us.

This is about my music and the opportunity.

I have right now to keep on moving forward,

and I can't sit in Harlem forever

waiting for something to happen.

But what about me, Jimmy? What am I supposed to do?

Wait around while you experiment with that - With that english bitch?

Just what is she giving you?

Nothing.

She's giving me nothing.

It's just a whole new scene going on down there.

Ain't nothing going on at Greenwich Village

but honky-ass white boys protesting shit

and whining about their darn trust funds.

And I don't care about none of that.

Bob Dylan plays in the Village, though, and I love him.

Who in the fuck is Bob Dylan?

Look...

down there, baby, I'm free to just do my own thing,

and for whatever reason, people are receptive,

and I can feel myself growing.

The Village ain't no place for no black man, Jimmy.

You'll see.

It belongs to my boyfriend,

but he probably won't miss it.

I even had it restrung left-handed for you.

Thank you.

I'll lend it to you on one condition.

Now, you're going to lend me

Your boyfriend Keith Richards' guitar
on one condition.

Okay, now, what's that condition?

You have to sing your ass off tonight

for a friend of mine.

Oh, okay.

Chas Chandler.

He used to be the bass player for the Animals.

Oh, and you have to sing for me, too.

™� And I'm glad

™� my baby's back at home

™� Oh, yeah

™� I'm so glad, so glad

™� my baby's back at home

™� and, oh, I'm just glad

™� my lonely days are gone

™� Yes, sir

™� just want to tell you, just want to say ♺

™� that woman is so, so fine

™� I'm so happy, so happy, baby ♺

™� that she is mine

™� don't you know she's mine?

™� Can anybody hear me, anybody hear me? ™�

™� that woman is fine, so fine, so fine ♺

™� is anybody listening?

™� anybody listening?

™� 'cause she's mine

™� all mine, all mine, all mine ♺

™� and I'm so glad my baby's back at home ♺

™� I'm so glad, so glad, yes, I am ♺

™� my baby's back at home

™� and I'm so glad

™� my lonely days are gone

™� come on, come on come on, come on ♺

I've seen them come and go, for real.

I think what Chas is saying, Jimmy,

is he sees an opportunity for you.

Do you?

Yeah, I do. I mean, you blew me away up there.

Well, you see people go down the drain all the time.

Musicians always get had and what-Not, so...

I don't want to be one of those cats,

so I have to make sure I don't get fucked, you know.

Jimmy, Chas has been there. He knows it.

That's good.

So, London, huh?

London.

I mean, London - That's where it's at.

Over there, you can grow.

But I was hoping I could just make it happen over here.

You will, Jimmy, eventually. You think so?

Yeah.

You've got a better chance of making it in orbit than you do in the States.

Trust me, all right? Let me bring you to London, let me break you over there,

and if you don't like it, we can always ship you back.

If I don't like it?

If I don't make it, will I be able to come back?

Of course you will.

I know we've only met just this one time,

but, please.

I like your - Your accent.

I like your accent. Cool, man, you know. I will go, I think,

But only on one condition.

™� Tell all the people

™� we've got a war

All right, Jimmy, this is piccadilly circus, all right?

I mean, you can go that way...

well, if god only plays through Eric.

What, are you so afraid this Jimmy's going to blow Clapton off the stage?

We don't have time for auditions, Chas.

Why don't you just say it?

Jimmy's going to break whether you help or not.

He's had one request since he's been in London,

and that's to jam with Eric Clapton.

That's all.

So now we have to tell him that the band he idolizes

is a bunch of pussies who won't give him a shot.

That's it, isn't it?

Can he really bloody play, Chas?

Great, yes.

Just give him this one shot, all right?

That's all I'm asking.

We better get some sleep at some point. Hmm?

There's a Bobby.

You know - You know what?

I want to change your name

From Jimmy, J-I-M-M-Y,

to Jimi, J-I-M-I.

Right? And lose the James completely.

You don't like the James? Well, the James is cool.

We've got to make everything unique.

I mean, image is everything, right?

J-I-M-I? Well, that's Jimi anyway.

Either way is cool, really.

Yeah, and I want to go with a power trio,

just like Cream.

Just like Cream, 'cause you're the monster guitar.

You're the monster guitar that can pull it off, right?

Yeah.

And we'll call it the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

The group is called - The whole name is the Jimi Hendrix Experience?

The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Actually, that's kind of cool.

That's far out, actually, yeah.

I like that.

You know what we did last night?

We started a legend.

No, actually, I played with a legend last night.

My heroes -

I almost cry sometimes when I hear Otis Redding.

You know, I get this lump in my throat.

Shit, sometimes with some cats, he's one of those.

And of course, Eric.

Um, Eric Clapton, you know he plays the B.B. King type thing.

And I think my main thing is also the blues

Um, very inspirational, you know. Elmore James, Albert King...

I listen to different stuff.

I like things from Bach to Roland Kirk.

Paul Butterfield, The Bloomfield Band,

which is ridiculously out of sight.

Chuck Berry, The Band, um...

Dylan.

You could say I was very much inspired by Dylan

and Brian - Brian Jones.

My teachers were really common sense

And, um, imagination.

I like - I like this cat here, man.

I don't know if Chas told you, but I'm not a bass player.

Yeah, he told me.

I play the guitar, you know? That's my thing.

But you're here playing the bass.

You play it like the guitar. That's what I dig about it.

You know what else? I dig your hair.

When you came in, I said, "man, I dig his hair."

Well, what do you dig? What are you into?

I like Sam Cooke and Ray Charles and that sort of thing.

Wow, wow. Ha ha ha. Wow. Mitch?

Absolutely.

If it's cool with you, here we are, man.

Be a part of this.

What are you doing calling on me? I am not rich.

I know, I am sorry. I just...

you know, I'm at a friend's place right here, so...

How's London?

Well, London is really, really, really going well.

Things are moving fast here, you know.

But listen. I just wanted to call you to tell you that...

I just want you to know that
if it hadn't been for you, Faye,

and, and, and Harlem, and all those,

my experiences there, you know. I wouldn't be here.

And I want to tell you, you know...

well, just that I miss you.

And I'm glad you called.

I miss you, too, Jimi.

Well, then where's my kiss?

Now, don't you fall off of one of them buses, baby.

Ladies and gentlemen,

from Seattle, Washington, welcome Jimi Hendrix

and the Jimi Hendrix Experience!

Would you look at that?

Managers, promoters, producers, budding musicians, everyone's here.

Well...

it's really groovy right now to be here in swinging London.

I will say it's a lot smaller than I thought it would be.

You know, the USA is bigger,

but it's cool because this place is hipper...

tonight, anyway.

™� Hey, Joe

™� where you goin' with that gun in your hand? ™�

™� Hey, Joe

™� I said, where you goin' with that gun in your hand? ™�

™� all right

™� I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady ♺

™� you know, I caught her messin' around ♺

™� with another man

™� I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady ♺

™� you know, I caught her messin' around ♺

™� with another man

™� that ain't too cool now

™� Hey, Joe

™� I heard you shot your woman down ♺

™� shot her down now

™� yes, I did, I shot her ♺

™� you know, I caught my lady messin' around town ♺

™� and I gave her the gun

™� I shot her

™� all right

™� all right

™� Hey, hey, Joe

™� you better run on down

™� goodbye, everybody

™� ow

™� Hey-ey, Joe

Thank you.

Good show, Jimi.

Hi.
- Hi.

My name is Jane.
- I'm Jimi.

You were really great on that guitar tonight. Oh, yeah.

You like that?

You want some coke?

Oh, wow!

That's how we do this, huh? Come on, baby.

Yeah, I don't know about that.

I don't... come on.

I don't know.

Sit down.

You sound like you're American.

Where you from? New York.

Your name again?

My name's Jane.

And I like the way you play with your tongue. Oh, okay.

Do you have, like, a favorite song?

I like that one about Joe.

Yeah, that's my favorite song, too.

Hey, man... no, no, no, no, no.

Yeah, you come here.

How do you know? You know that lady?

Jimi, hey, come here. Sorry, ladies.

Look, you remember Mike Jeffrey?

Hi...

Mike's, uh, he's my partner. I've got a deal with him, right?

Okay. Cool.

And he's outside. He wants to meet you.

Tell him to come in. There's a lot going on here.

Yeah, I know, but that's not how it works.

We've got to go outside and see him, right?

Right. All right.

You want us to go outside?

Yeah, let's grab your coat and go outside. You're killing me, man.

I know. It's a terrible thing.

Jimi Hendrix, this is Michael Jeffrey.

Real pleasure, man.

It's nice to meet you.

I caught the act.

I found it very interesting.

The teeth bit - Whose idea was that?

Well, I suggested for him to lay it on thick.

It's just something I do when I feel like it.

Well, it works.

The whole act works.

I'll be straight, I'm very interested in getting involved with you, Jimi.

I'm willing to make a financial commitment and get you into a studio.

Oh, with the studio, I mean...

Chas has set up something already, so...

that's good, but, look, it takes a team

to make a star.

Chas knows I'll be an extremely valuable asset to you.

You think about it. It's a great jacket.

Great show.

Thank you.

Huh? All right. That's it.

I told you. I mean, it's that simple.

Did I come through or what?

All right.

Hello.

And I quote from the melody maker Jimi Hendrix.

"A fantastic American guitarist,

"blew the minds of a star-packed crowd

"who went to see him at the Blaises Club.

"The Beautiful sounds like 'Rock Me, Baby',

"'Third Stone', 'Hey Joe' and 'Wild Thing' were what he presented

"to a very enthusiastic crowd.'"

Wow, man.

Ladies.

I'm looking for Knighthood, right? Over here.

Yeah, I'm sir. Call me sir. You can call me sir.

Sir Jimi, man. Sir Jimi.

Acid? Yeah.

It'll be good for your music, baby.

You know, I'll try anything with you.

Yeah.

™� Hey Joe

™� where you goin' with that gun in your hand? ™�

™� Hey Joe

™� I said where you goin'

So what do you think? What's the time?

Coming in at 3:25.

It's still too long.

Look, Jimi, we're going to go again, right?

This time, I want you to tighten the bridge

and shorten the intro.

What?

You heard me. Go again.

Shorten the bridge, and tighten the intro.

You are just killing my best shit.

You're killing it. You're killing me.

Look at the big picture. We're still at 3:52.

That's not right.

A 3-minute song?

I'm not doing it.

Look, Jimi, we've been through this.

Music ain't shit if it ain't heard, right?

2:52- Now, that's format.

Anything longer than 2:52, it's not going to get airplay.

If it doesn't get airplay,

you're not going to sell records.

If you don't sell records

you might as well go back to the States

and play guitar for your friends on the street corner.

That doesn't sound bad to me.

Am I supposed to fear that?

All right. I tried.

I tried, too.

Fuck!

Tearing into my best shit, man.

The whole thing is to get your music heard, Jimi.

Fuck.

It's your choice.

All right, Chas,

I'll do this for you, Chas. This for you.

We can do this in a minute.

Let's make it a 1-minute song.

So, I was going through the past the other day, and I have these...

letters that I wanna share with you. I think they're over here.

I think this is the one here.

"Dear dad, hope you're well. Everything is okay here, playing in clubs

"and writing new songs."

It says here, "nowadays people don't want you to sing good.

"They want you to sing sloppy and have a good beat to your songs."

So, uh, "that's the angle I'm going to shoot for.

"That's where the money is.

"So, just in case, about three or four months from now

"you might hear a record by me,

"that which sounds terrible.

"Don't feel ashamed.

"Just wait until the money rolls in

"because everyday people are singing worse and worse on purpose."

And, uh... "and the public buys more and more records.

"And I just want to let you know

"that I'm still here trying to make it.

"Although I don't eat everyday..."

Uh, everything... "everything is going all right for me.

"Best luck and happiness in the future."

Uh...

"your son, Jimi."

So the Big Apple Club in Germany wants
you back for another couple of nights.

Oh, they must've dug my version of "Danke Schoen."

Oh, look, Michael,

Jimi wants that gig in the States to work.

What gig is that?

You didn't tell him about the gig?

The Monterey Pop Festival in California -

It's a 3-day festival. Paul McCartney invited me.

Brian Jones wants him there, too.

In that case...

I don't know.

I mean, "Hey Joe" and "Purple Haze" -

They're on the charts right now.

I think we should hold off on the States, you know?

Get them nice and wet, then we hit them.

Well, this ain't about money, Michael.

This is something different.

I mean, everybody's going to be there.

Janis is going to be there, Otis is going to be there,

The Who, Airplane,

The Jimi Hendrix Experience is going to be there...

if I can close the warner's deal in time...

I don't know. Maybe it'd be a good thing

for him to go back home and play.

Yeah? Yeah.

Could be good exposure.

Happy?

I'll be happy, man, yeah. I'll be going home.

I'd be happy to go home.

It's going to be all right... California.

Oh, man, yeah.

They're all yours, mate.

You guys are great.

God bless America.

Nice job, lads. Cheers.

Hey, Peter - Jimi Hendrix, baby,

and don't you forget it.

Hey man.

Stick out your tongue, man.

Oh, yeah. Right on it, man.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome

the first american appearance...

How about you, you know, all-you-wanna-hit man?

I can say thank you, thank you, you know, thank you,

but I just don't want to do that.

I just want to grab you and just...

Yeah, you know, some people get mad

because we sleep on fat mattresses,

and we wear, you know, golden slippers, but don't get mad.

I want to introduce you to this American English anthem here.

You know what I'm saying?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Don get mad. No, don't get mad. No, for real, yeah.

See, this is it right here, you know, because I just -

I just want to - Ooh...

I can't do much more. It's a beautiful thing.

Come on, baby, come on. Sing it with me.

™� Wild thing

™� you make my heart sing

™� you make everything

™� groovy

™� Wild thing

™� yeah

™� Wild thing

™� I think you move me

™� but I want to know for sure ♺

™� come on now

™� sock it to me one time

™� you move me

Whose freaking idea was it to have him follow The Who?

Just watch, all right?

™� You make my heart sing

™� you make everything

™� groovy

™� yeah

™� Wild thing

™� Wild thing

™� I think I love ya

™� but I want to know for sure ♺

™� come on sock it to me one more time again ♺

™� aw, shucks

™� you move me

™� look out

™� Wild thing

™� you make my heart sing

™� you make everything

™� groovy

™� is that right?

™� Wild thing

™� yeah

Fucking brilliant, mate.

I never wanted it to be, you know,

so much of a visual thing.

When I didn't do what they were calling gimmicks,

It's like the people thought I was being moody

but not understanding that

I can only do it when I just feel like doing it,

So, you know, I can't just do it

for the sake of people who just wanted to see me do it.

It's not that type of thing, so, you know,

I want the music to ultimately, I just want the music

to come across the right way,

so people can sit back if they want to

and close their eyes.

Everybody wants a piece of what we've got.

"Purple Haze" is being played on the hour everywhere. Offers are rolling in

from San francisco to New York.

We're in a position now where we pick and choose.

I'm not - I can't believe it,

and you go ahead and book us on a fucking Monkees tour.

Nice.

Hey, The Monkees are cool. Monkees are cool, man.

Tork. Ha ha ha. Peter Tork.

They're not cool.

Don't tell me you're on the side with this fucking maniac.

It's a bad match.

Do you know that they have a private plane?

They have a private plane.

You don't know what you're talking about, mate.

The Monkees are where we want to be.

They're raking in money hand over fist,

and that's that.

I don't know what I'm talking about?

I do know what I'm talking about,

and piss off, we're not doing it. That's all.

Mate, you'll bloody well do what I tell you to,

all right?

Because you're a producer.

Because I allow you to be!

Never forget that, mate.

Never forget that.

Is that it? That's it.

Is it still raining out there?

It stopped.

You know, I remember one time,

when I was four years old and I wet my pants.

And I stayed outside, you know, because it was raining

and I stayed out there

to get wet all over so my mom would know, you know.

I know.

She knew.

What's her name?

Lucille. Her name... her name was, was Lucille.

I'm sorry.

Oh, don't. Don't be sorry. It's okay, don't be sorry.

I didn't know she died a long time ago.

I used to have this dream.

That mom would be getting carried away on a camel, right.

And she would say...

say to me, "you see, no, I ain't gonna see you no more, Jimi," you know.

And I said...

"Well, where you going?"

And then, it was like, two years later she died.

Just like one of those dreams.

You know how people have dreams you just don't forget.

Yeah.

Okay. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Thank you. Look out.

And Mickey Mouse to you, too, right? Dig.

Good night, you know? Have a good day and everything.

Monkees! Monkees! Monkees!

All right.

All right, guys. Nice, nice set.

Monkees! Monkees! Monkees!

I'm going to try to fix this.

It's fucking insane! It's fucking insane!

Just - Sorry, Jimi.

It's terrible. They're 12-year-olds -

See, I told you.

Wrong. All fucking wrong.

Great! Wha- What the great?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Look...

all right.

Jimi James Hendrix.

Wow, Ron! Hey, man! Wow, man!

I mean, they're laughing at us.

You and The Monkees. Nice bill.

Yeah, yeah. Wait a minute, man.

Hey, Michael, Chas, I want to introduce you to this cat.

We used to jam in the Village. This is Ron Terry, man.

All right. Ron Terry.

Chas. Ron Terry.

What are you doing here, man?

I'm in the music business. I'm a concert promoter.

Wow! Oh, yeah? Oh shit, huh!

We should talk.

Yeah, FM. FM sounds really, really cool to me, man.

I'm digging it. You know, with longer cuts.

The longer albums cuts. That's really what I'm talking about.

I'm about that, man. And the underground following too, yeah. Yeah.

This is the future of radio, Jimi.

Guys like us are gonna be leading the way.

It's... it'll be ours. Like the inmates taking over the asylum, you know.

That's what I'm about, man. Yeah.

So we've got a big truck and a sound system,

a bus for you guys,

and we're going to go across the country -

Washington, Chicago,

Seattle, San francisco,

Los Angeles.

You're going to make a lot of money.

So that's our plan. Any questions?

60 cities, 66 days.

™� Once upon a time, you're just so fine

™� threw the bums a dime in your prime ♺

™� didn't you?

We're the plaster casters.

We're dedicating our lives

to the preservation of the rockstars penis for posterity.

We're gonna make a mold of your rig... my rig?

Show him the dick. Show him the dick.

This is Keith Moon.

We're gonna suck your cock to attention

and then stuff it into this vase of alginate.

Then you're gonna need a bigger vase.

™� Yeah

™� how does it feel?

™� how does it feel, baby?

™� to be on your own

™� with no direction home

™� a complete unknown

™� look at you

™� like a rolling stone

™� you've gone to the finest schools ♺

™� all right, Miss Lonely

™� juiced in it

™� nobody here taught you how to live out on the streets ♺

™� but you're just gonna have to get ♺

™� used to it

™� you say you never

™� you never compromise

™� with the mystery tramp

™� but now you

™� you've got to realize

™� he's not selling any alibis ♺

™� as you stare into the vacuum ♺

™� of his eyes

™� and you say

™� hey, baby, would you like to ♺

™� make a deal?

™� yeah

™� how does it feel?

™� oh, how does it feel, baby? ™�

™� to be on your own

™� with no direction home

™� a complete unknown

™� look at you

Jimi, are you getting enough rest?

Yeah. Yeah. Taking your vitamins?

Yeah. We've got 30 more days left on the tour,

You need to strike. Me, I'm cool, man.

I'm cool. I got it all covered.

Be good. Bye, man.

Bye.

You wanna jam, baby?

™� Go to him, now, he calls you ♺

™� you can't refuse

™� when you ain't got nothing, you got ♺

™� nothing to lose

Look, he needs a break, Michael.

All right?

Because, I mean, it's been Europe, America, Europe.

What I'm saying is, let's go into the studio, all right?

Give him a chance to rest so he'll recharge, right?

Oh, I'd love to do that.

But we can't afford to.

All right? Have you been following things?

American kids are rebelling against everything.

And Jimi Hendrix, thank you very much,

is one of their anti-establishment heroes.

We have to keep a high profile.

But he's gonna crash, man.

I mean, you know as well as I do, right?

Creative people need shut down time, right?

Dad. Hey, hey, hey. You all right?

Hey, you look good, man. Come here

You know, I... I re-married, you know.

What? No. Yeah. Yeah.

You've got yourself a little sister here.

Wow. Her name is, uh...

Jane.

I've got a picture over here somewhere.

Yeah. Here you go.

She's six. Aw.

She cuts out all the articles

and the pictures she sees of ya.

Put them in her album.

That's cool.

Oh, she's so beautiful. Yeah. Yeah. Beautiful.

No, no, no. You keep it. Thank you.

You've been taking care of yourself, ain't ya?

Yeah.

Your mom would be proud.

Bless her soul.

I wish she could've lived long enough to see you make some money yourself.

That would have made her happy.

I'm gonna buy you a new house, dad.

A new... no, no. You ain't got to...

I'm a buy you a new house. You can't afford to buying me, no...

Come this winter.

Yeah.

We had some good times, didn't we?

We did.

I gotta use the bathroom.

Yeah, yeah go ahead.

You know where it is, right?

You still remember?

You okay, son.

What?

You all right?

Yeah.

The record company is demanding
another album right away.

As your lawyer, I'm advising you provide it,

so somehow we've got to juggle recording with the road.

Well, I'll tell you how, Mr. Steingarten.

Maybe we should just shut down this traveling caravan

because I'm the one, you know,

out there, man?

And I'm getting tired.

We can't do that, Jim. We need the money.

Wow, man. What do you mean, "we need the money"?

What's happening with all the money that we...

Well, excuse me, that I have been making?

All those gifts, limo rides,

big hotel bills,

wild women.

Guess what.

They cost money.

You know, Mike,

really, if I tried,

I could not spend a thousandth -

Not even a single thousandth, man -

Of, like, what your greed consumes, chief.

Are you calling me a thief, Jim?

Actually, man, you know, I said "chief,"

But, you know, if the shoe fits,

you can stick it on your head, man.

If you're going to call me a thief and a liar,

you look me in the eye.

Yeah, forget about it, man.

It's cool.

All right, Jimi, let's go.

Come on, Jimi, let's go, man.

It's time to go, man. Let's go!

Look, you do the next few gigs,

Right, then we'll take a rest.

But we can't leave people waiting.

Let's consider what we're doing here, Jimi, all right?

I mean, this is what you wanted, isn't it?

™� Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey. Hey.

Jimi.

™� Show me the way to your heart ♺

Hey!

Look at the new you!

What?

Experienced.

Oh, no. It's the same old me,

but, I'll tell you, things around here really have changed.

Oh, yeah, they have.

You know, my music is like a joke.

Those motherfuckers don't want to hear the music.

They come, they want to see, like, a show,

or - or even, like, an act.

I could probably play "Yankee Doodle Dandy."

Long as I'm playing it with my teeth,

they won't even know the difference.

You're playing the music you always wanted to play.

That's got to make you happy, Jimi.

Look at you. You a star.

You know what? I'm a human jukebox.

That's what i feel like, and it's not fun.

It's just business.

Looks like it's good business to me.

I don't know. It's just -

Famous and happy, it's two different things.

I don't know. There's something that's missing.

You think what you're missing is back here?

I don't know.

'Cause it is. It's right here.

™� Revolution, revolution

™� won't they advertise the revolution? ™�

Black riots in American cities -

It'll never be solved with violence.

I wish they had electric guitars

in the cotton fields back in the days.

A lot of things would've been straightened out,

not just for the black and white,

but, I mean, in general for the cause.

It's so funny because even colored people look at my music,

and they ask me,

"Is it white or black? What's going on?"

And I say, "why are you trying to dissect that?"

All those are things that we have to wipe

away from the face of the earth.

Listen, Maury,

nobody's going to show tonight because there's a fucking war

going on out there.

I don't give a rat's ass. Tickets were sold.

If people show, they show.

Either way, you've got to play.

They're shooting people! For Christ's sake, would you listen to that?

Okay, boys, what's it gonna be?

You going to do this gig, or are we going to settle it in court?

You threatening me?

That's no threat.

I say we do the gig. We donate the money

to Martin Luther King's foundation.

What the hell has gotten into you, Jimi?

What do you mean? I respect Martin Luther King,

what he was about, and I want to keep it alive.

Is that okay with you?

I'm worried about keeping you alive.

It's not like your people respect you.

Wow. You don't think so?

Well, that's a good reason to do the gig,

so that maybe they can respect me.

You know what? They'd call you a sellout.

Do you think some benefit concert

is going to make them love you?

We'll do the gig. We're going to do the gig.

Because you cats are going to have to make adjustments.

Right, right. What did you have in mind?

Big sounds, you know, like the Beatles -

like "Sergeant Pepper," only, you know, different.

Me, you know. Music...

Sure, sure.

Music of the universe, right?

That's what I'm talking about.

And sounds that are

from every corner of the planet, man.

That's what I'm talking about.

And then we move into jazz.

I'm into jazz, I'm in a whole other scene.

I can have an orchestra

if I wanted to do classical shit.

I'm talking about Miles, I'm talking about Kirk... sure.

Right now, I'm feeling - You know what I'm feeling.

And I've got to break out, man.

Did you talk to these cats about this shit?

I was -

It's - It's fine.

I know - I know what you're saying

because you're creative and - And -

that's got to get out. It makes sense.

But we still have to make Jimi Hendrix records

because they'll sell.

Oh, wow. This "sell" thing, you know?

Well, I'm trying to do more than sell,

if you follow me here.

More than sell, Michael.

Like, okay, I could give you a guitar...

You don't want to do that.

And, like, a really good gimmick, Michael,

and you could sell records.

Because when I'm talking about you know, music that heals,

that's where I met with it. Right.

This is great. It's great.

I'm leaving.

Stick with the formula,

all right?

It's what made you famous,

and it's what pays the bills.

Where are you at with all that?

I don't know.

So you're leaving me,

and you came all the way over here to say that?

Jimi, I have no choice.

But there's nothing left for me to do, really,

but kill that bastard.

I'm really sorry that i introduced you to Michael Jeffrey.

I'm really sorry about that.

No, no, no. Listen, man, I mean,

you didn't invent that cat.

Besides, you were always there for me.

What are you going to do?

Live.

Raise a family.

Grow up.

I'll be all right.

It's you i'm worried about.

Don't worry about me, man. I'm okay.

I'll be fine.

I'm doing good.

You can't give a piece of you to everyone who asks,

right? I know. I've got to take a good look at it

from now on, right?

You take care of yourself, Jimi, all right?

I mean that.

I know you do.

Right.

Well, look, um...

I'll, um,

I'll give a ring next week,

see how you are, check up.

All right? And, uh,

check in with you, all right?

Okay, man.

I'm in town for a few days,

so stay in touch.

Bye, man.

It doesn't sound right. What's going on?

The tone's off to me, you know.

You need to bring down the highs, you know. Down.

You just asked me to bring up the highs.

Bring down the highs, you know.

Four fucking days we're sitting around here

waiting to lay this down. Fucking let's lay it down.

What do you want me to do, Jimi?

Jimi wants you to bring down the highs.

You know... down.

Ha. Yeah. Thanks, Eddie.

Fine, I'll bring down the fucking highs.

Bringing down the fucking highs for Jimi.

"All Along the Watchtower" intro, take 44.

Thank you.

What? What?

Hey, um, you brought it down, like, too far, Eddie.

You know, so bring it up a little bit.

You want to play your fucking part already, Noel?

Let's do, like, come on.

"All Along the Watchtower," take 45.

Cut!

What the fuck was wrong with that, Jimi?

Ha. Um, you know, come on, Noel.

You want to maybe put some heart into it?

Play it like you give a damn.

Make believe like you give a fucking damn.

Okay, let's do this again.

No, no, don't fucking do this again!

Fuck this shit, all right?

We're not fucking doing it again!

We're not fucking doing it again.

Jimi, we're your bandmates.

We're not your fucking little groupies, your hangers-on.

You're not giving me what I need out there.

Talk to us.

If I could, I'd write it down for you.

I don't read or write it.

Colors is what I want, feelings.

Fuck colors, all right? We are not fucking painters.

We are musicians. Right.

How about this?

You let us do our own thing, all right?

You guys are a couple of great players.

I mean that, and don't take it personal.

I have something I got to do.

I have a vision I have to see through,

and I'm going to see it through, and that's it.

Oh, Christ, Jimi.

Jimi, you're acting like

we don't even count anymore, man.

You are giving us no respect whatsoever.

I mean... I don't know about Mitch but, I'm not gonna keep putting up

With this fucking bullshit.

You got to do what you got to do, Noel.

I got to do this.

You ready to split, Jimi?

No, no, man.

I'm going to stick around. I'm cool.

Why? Are you tired?

Get out of here, man. I'll take care of this.

All right, man.

Hey.

Don't forget to lock up.

™� Out of here

™� All Along the Watchtower

When "Ladyland" hit number one,

I finally felt that I was moving in the right direction.

You know, man, "Are You Experienced?"

Bold as Love"

were just jumping off points to me, you know.

But with "Ladyland," it was more about -

It was more about dealing with the forces out there.

The dark forces trying to hold

the people of the planet down,

and the light forces trying to put things right,

eliminate the boundaries and create harmony and...

and after that, Rolling Stone voted me,

I guess, performer of the year.

So now I can die a happy man.

Mr. Hendrix, welcome to Toronto.

You just here for the night?

What's this?

A Rolling Stone reporter said to me

that it might be someone was out here trying to get me,

putting a surprise stash, you know, on me, a plant.

They did that before I left Detroit,

then calling the police saying I was on my way.

Who knows?

I know that I did not have a thing on me.

Calm down, Jimi.

Don't tell me to calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down.

Jimi, our associates in Canada

are the best lawyers money can buy.

Then we'll find the money.

What? What do you mean? What? What are you saying here?

Then we'll find the money.

What's that mean? Quit jacking me around.

I know we have the money.

I vaguely remember a little investment you made

into your dream studio called Electric Ladyland.

My investments?

That's right.

My dreams?

Michael, where would you be without my dreams?

Woodstock -

It was a success, I'll tell you,

for the simple fact

there was one of the largest gatherings of people, you know.

There were so many scores you can add up on this.

If you added them all up, you know,

you feel like a king.

People are tired of joining street gangs,

of joining militant groups.

They're tired of hearing the president gab his gums away.

They're tired of this and tired of that.

They want to find different direction.

Lots of young people now

fear they're not getting a fair deal.

So they revert to something loud and harsh,

almost verging on violence.

If they didn't go to a concert,

they might be going to a riot.

Mr. Hendrix, do your fans ever send you gifts?

Yes, all the time.

What type of gifts?

Well, I guess, you know, a lot of stuff -

Scarves, clothes, you know, jewelry, um,

cakes, poems,

stuff like that.

Do your fans ever give you drugs?

Yes, all the time.

And do you usually inspect them immediately, the gifts?

No. I mean, usually, I put everything in the bag, you know,

and then, uh - But if I do go through,

like you say and inspect it

and I find something I don't want,

I just flush it down the toilet.

Have you, uh, have you ever taken drugs, Mr. Hendrix?

Uh...

yes, I mean, I've experimented with...

Could you, uh,

elaborate on the kinds of drugs

that you've experimented with?

Yeah, um, marijuana, uh, hashish.

I've, uh, I've done acid on,

you know, several occasions.

I've sniffed cocaine, you know,

nicotine, caffeine, you know.

and I've given up, you know, some things,

but not because it's illegal.

Just because that's where I am, you know.

I've grown and evolved.

Did you have any idea

that there was an illegal substance

in the alka-seltzer bottle at customs?

No, i had no idea.

That's all, your honor.

Ladies, gentlemen, a little space, please.

Nice to see you.

Never a dull moment with you.

Thank you, thank you. Thank you for coming.

I wouldn't miss that for the world.

Congratulations, Jimi. How do you feel?

Oh, I feel like sunshine. How do I look?

You look great.

How about Vietnam?

How about Vietnam? War is war. It's never good.

Jimi, how do you feel about Brian Jones's death?

Brian is a friend of mine,

and I miss him, and...

you know, I know he's in a safe place,

a special place.

Whoo! "Foxy Lady"!

"Haze." "Purple Haze."

Thank you for coming.
- "Purple Haze"!

"Foxy Lady." Hey, man.

"Purple Haze"! "Purple Haze," Jimi!

No, listen, man, we ain't no -

We ain't no jukebox, motherfucker.

No more of that.

So this is the new sound?

I not giving Jimi a nickel for this shit.

Yeah, don't look at me like that.

The people ain't digging my shit, fuck them.

Let me get a rum.

Fuck them. That's what we'll tell the label, too, right?

I can always find another label.

Right. Exactly. Thank you.

You know, when I want to hear jazz,

you know, I pick up Miles Davis and -

Sky Church is not jazz, first of all.

It's something different, and it's coming from my soul.

Your soul.

Man, are you that stoned?

People don't give a shit about your soul...

okay?

They want spirituality, they talk to a priest.

Thank you.

I'm praying. Please do.

Let me have, um - Just bring me the bottle.

Here you go. Thank you.

We know your heart's with us, man.

We hear it in your music.

Thank you, man. I-I-I do.

I dig what you cats are doing for black people.

If there's anything that I can -

I would give a donation -

We don't want something for nothing, brother.

We ain't bums, man.

No, no, I-I didn't say you were bums.

When are you going to get the bigger picture?

You can't keep running back to whitey

every time you've got a problem.

You should have come to us.

We would have put together a concert, in Harlem,

where it would mean something.

You got to give people a chance, man.

To me, it's just not about black and white.

It's not. It's never been.

It's about bringing people together.

I see specific colors only in my music.

Yeah? The color the white man sees is black.

You got to get behind the cause once and for all.

Brother Hendrix,

Nero played while Rome burned.

You going to play while black neighborhoods burn?

You do realize

that you will never be anything but a sideshow, my brother?

Take an honest look at your situation.

There is no white man capable of giving you the full respect for your talents.

Not anymore, anyway. No, sir.

Each and every one of them will eventually disrespect you, man.

I guarantee you.

I know a lot of people wanna put their words,

their cause in my mouth. But I'm not for revolution.

At one point, you have to choose -

revolution or Frank Sinatra.

For me, it was Frank Sinatra,

because I want to turn people on.

Yes, I have said that I'm electric religion,

because it's all about religion, not christianity.

I see in front of me, though, a universal religion,

containing all beliefs, the essence of them all.

In that religion, the children will grow up

and feel free.

They will not be programed like they are today.

I have been looking for a place

far away from this world,

and I have found it inside myself.

The experience is a phase in time.

They're like a fragment in time to me.

Now I'm onto a new phase,

and it's bigger to me.

I'm going to go on to another and another

and so on.

Excuse me, Mr. Visionary.

I have a contract with The Experience.

Just like I honor my commitments,

I expect you and The Experience

to honor yours.

No,

Michael.

The Experience is through, man.

Listen, if you can't dig that,

really, if you can't dig it, let's end it.

I'm not-No.

It's not that simple.

This is business, Jim.

We have a contract,

I will enforce it...

no matter what it takes.

Don't worry, Jimi.

It's all going to work out.

This is going to show you not to mess with space.

Never forget that.

I-I-I've been dead for years.

Come on, man.

Let's go.

It's okay, man.

Up, man.

It's okay, man.

Let's go. Easy.

Let's go.

It's okay.

Is it true that, uh...

you were given some bad acid by your manager, Michael Jeffrey?

We're playing a Winter Festival for Peace in Madison Square Garden.

We hit the stage like, 3 a.m.

I was all ready ill. I don't know who gave me what. Really.

And here I am. You know, there, and I'm fighting the biggest war of my life.

Inside, you know.

And like...

that wasn't the place to do it, I suppose.

I'll take this out for you. Okay.

Yeah.

Cheers.

Cheers.

I'm glad you came, man.

I got stuff I want to talk to you about.

You all right?

Oh, yeah, I'm fine.

People are talking.

What - What about?

About you.

I'm hearing things.

That you're hanging around town

completely ripped.

You don't even know you're there.

And then the other night at Ronnie Scott's,

I heard someone had to drag you across the room,

and you couldn't even play.

That's over, Chas.

Things are going to change now.

That's why I came here to London, okay?

I wanted to talk to you about it anyway.

I can't work in New York.

I just can't.

And you know my contract with Michael Jeffrey

will be over soon.

So I need you.

The stuff that I-I've done,

it just doesn't work.

We work really well together, man.

We really do.

So I want to regroup the whole team, Chas.

I spoke to Kramer the other day

about going back to New York

and picking up my masters.

You - You want to work here?

Yeah, yeah.

Well - Well, then you just stay put.

I'll send for them, all right?

I don't want you going back to New York.

Let's do it here.

Yeah, away from that fucking crowd. I -

Right.

Just like old days, mate.

Better.

Better.

It's all full circle.

So I'm back right now,

uh, where I started, you know,

and I've given this era of music...

everything -

You know, well, everything that I could.

I still sound the same. My music's the same.

I can't think of anything quite new,

at least right now, to add to it.

So I started thinking - Thinking about the future,

thinking that this era of music,

sparked off by The Beatles, um,

it just had to come to an end, you know.

Things come to an end.

Something new has - Has to come.

You see, music is so important,

so important, you know.

And politics is just a bunch of talk.

Anyone can go around shaking babies' hands

and kissing, you know, uh, the mothers,

and walking old ladies across the street

and saying that it was groovy

and acting and smiling and waving hands at the people,

but, you see...

you - you can't do it with music.

You just can't. Music doesn't lie.

So is that -

Is that it?

Because I hope you guys got what you came here for.

I really hate these things, you know.

I feel like I'm terrible at this type of stuff, but...

I guess we're done.

Is that what you want the world to know?

That's a good question.

Yeah, for the moment.

Well, thank you for your words

and for your music.

Thank you. No, I appreciate it.

The door's open.

Is this the right place?

Hello?

Hello?

Anybody here?

Hello?

Who made the call then?

A woman.

I think this guy's a musician.

Famous?

Who knows?

Why don't you go check in the bedroom?

Right.

He's here. I found him.

™� How does it feel?

™� How does it feel, baby?

™� to be on your own

™� no direction home

™� a complete unknown

™� look at ya

™� like a rolling stone
