What does he say ?
Hello everybody !
I'm a big Hendrix fan and each time I listen to a song (Wild Thing in live at Monterey), he explains something at the beginning but I don't understand what he says and it makes me crazy, so I've had the idea to ask here if people would be able to tell me what he explains before the song (it's here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgxFlB2PoRk). I understand "I'm going to sacrifice something here that I really love" (He speaks about his guitar that he will burn at the end of the song) but I think he explains why he has to do it but I don't understand. "to do the english and the american combine ..." ?? it's seems to be that but I don't know what it could mean ??
So thanks in advance if somebody take the time to write here what he understand ! :)

"Thank you very much. It jsut something else man. Like, it is no big story about, you know, we couldn't make it here, so we go to England. And America doesn't like us because, you know, our feets too big, or we got fat mattresses and we wear golden underwear. It ain't no scene like that, brother. You know, it's just, dig man, it's just, layin' around, then went to England to pick up these two cats. And now here we are, man. And it's so, you know, groovy to come back here this way, you know? And really get a chance to really play. You know, I can sit up here all night and say 'Thank you, thank you, thank you," you know, but I just want to, you know, just grab you, man. And just <kissing sounds>. On of them things, man. One of them scenes. But, dig, I just can't do that. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to sacrifice something right here that I really love, okay? <something about Bob Dylan's grandmother>. Anyway, I'm going to sacrifice something I really love, man. This, if, don't think I'm silly doing this, you know, because I'll think I'm losing my mind. That last night in Peru, gah. But, wait, wait, wait a minute, honestly... Anyway...but today I think everything's alright, but I'm not losing my mind. This is for everybody here. This is the only way I can do it, you know. So, we're going to do the English and American combined anthem together. Okay? Don't get mad. Noooo. Don't get mad. I want everybody to join in, too. Alright? Don't get mad, okay? There's nothing I can do more than this. For these, these beautiful people.
