Cindy has her group over tonight so I'm in the basement discovering things like this. And 12 strings no less.

Enjoy,

You didn't know 'bout that one?
Reputed to be the only extant video of him on an acoustic, let alone 12er, was originally released in a BBC sponsored ("IIRC") movie titled simply "Experience" from '67, I think, and not to be confused with an album of an Albert Hall concert by the same name. I have it on VHS but I can't seem to find it listed on the web anywhere right now, might be out of print.
Also appears in 1973's "Jimi Hendrix" (in fact the promo poster featured a graphic image representing that "take"), and the just-released PBS "American Masters" documentary, "Hear My Train a 'Comin" which I can highly recommend as probably the best Hendrix bio and "the real person behind the myth" treatment I've ever seen. In case you've ever wondered if there's a really good one.The only thing that hurts, every time I see it now, is the missing Guild logo at the top of the guitar, when we know that he bought a Guild 12er at his favorite store, Manny's.
There's a pic of the receipt in Hans' book.

Easy there, Al.
I knew about it....I just hadn't had the pleasure of discovering/seeing it on youtube, via my laptop, while down in the basement polishing off a bowl of my favorite ice cream, Tillamook Mudslide.
So I thought I might share it other folks....the video, not the ice cream.

My 8-year-old just opened her detective agency. She told mom her first case was, "Where's the missing ice cream?"

She solved the case. Who-dun-it? Daddy.

Thanks for sharing the video. I'm enjoying this and the Stevie performance.

Easy there, Al.

Gotta admit I saw a chance to point how many ways it was available and a chance to plug the new documentary "for those who might find the info useful" and even throw in a Guild connection "for those who may not have already known".

Well, It was 'new' to me, as was Al's doco info. So I scored with both.
Great stuff! Thanks guys.
