Jimi Hendrix Shotgun Live 1965 Night Train Backing Buddy & Stacey.
Oldest Film Footage of Jimi Hendrix:
WLAC-TV studios, L & C Tower, 159 4th Avenue North, Nashville
Jimi appears as a guitar player in "The Royal Company" playing in the back-up band for Buddy & Stacy on the WLAC-TV Channel 5 show "Night Train" performing "Shotgun". On the same show Jimmy Church performs "In The Midnight Hour", the Wilson Pickett version of the song was released in late June - early July. Billy Cox has said that Jimi left and returned to Nashville several times, this could have been one of those visits...
from scribernc re: Hendrix in the shotgun vid: i stand corrected, that is hendrix, playing on the left side of the video screen, his image partially obscured throughout by one of the vocalists; when i made my initial comment disavowing his identity, i saw only a snippet of the video and i thought the claim was being made that the guy on the right side of the screen was hendrix, the one who did vaguely resemble him but, upon later noticing, was playing a guitar right-handed, which was just one more clue that it wasn't jimi. when i saw the whole video, i now would agree that the other guy is hendrix; thought it is too bad that you can never get an unobscured look at his face. still, no doube it's hendrix, the partial facial look, hair; the body posture, the left-handed guitar playing. it's him! so i stand contrite and corrected.
thanks, scribenc
