Hendrix estaba interpretando Purple Haze, uno de sus clásicos temas salvajes, y decidió acabarlo con una serie de geniales improvisaciones a la guitarra que se alargaron durante casi 5 minutos espectaculares. De repente, algo ocurrió. Hendrix dio un giro radical sin previo aviso y se sacó de la chistera una mágica balada con escalas y sonidos imposibles que dejarían al mundo entero con la boca abierta por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
It must be about 9.30 of the August 18, 1969.

The legendary musician is considered the reinventor of the electric guitar, as he revolutionized the way to play, with sounds and techniques that no one had heard before, and that broke new ground for future rockers.

The whole world gazed open-mouthed for ever and ever. Amen.
