Sorry about the repost. I just was really feeling the Hendrix albums and figured i'd say something

OH: i've really wanted to revisit "band of gypsies" since i haven't listened to that album probably since high school. are there any fans of this album on here?


I love this album for the sheer musicianship. It is no frills, no gimmick jamming. I think Buddy and Billy just provided the perfect rhythm for Jimi to explore and soar with his guitar playing. It might not have the catchy Pop tunes, but I can listen to this one over and over again. biggrin
perfection is a fallacy of the imagination...

I am new to Hendrix. I was only 5 years old when he died. In the last 2 weeks, I have bought 4 Hendrix CDS, 4 Hendrix DVDS and 2 bios. Needless to say, I have become engrossed with JIMI. At this point, I really like AYE because it is raw, and it just kicks ass. I love the BOG album. I like the groove and funk that Buddy Miles was putting down. It would have great to see what the BOG could have accomplished.

I was the same until i found out what he was really like. The serious violent abuse put me off jimi for awhile.

I've been listening to him again recently; got BOG and EL in my stereo system now

what bios have you read?

Electric Ladyland all the way. Somehow it sounds richer than Are You Experienced. And it's got that great version of All Along The Watchtower. I also love Voodoo Chile.

I go between them all depepnding on my mood. I'm not a fan of the later stuff that took a Hendrix idea from the studio and brought in other musicians to finish the songs. Thanks but not thanks, vultures.

Right now, I keep listening to "Band of Gypsies live at the Filmore" repeatedly.

If you're interested in a book that deals with the impact of his MUSIC and the times they were created in...

It is amazing to find out more about artist. Prior to my reading, I knew how he died, but I did not know the circumstances surrounding his death. I really believe his life could have been saved.

"E.L." is his best "produced" album. "Axis" is his most beautiful. But "Are You Experienced" is my favorite.

Good to see the return of TA's classic Hendrix overview. Always very informative that.

My fav albums would be 'Electric Ladyland' and 'Axis'.

I'm also very fond of 'First Rays' and even more, the sometimes controversial 'Voodoo Soup', which imo has better mixes than 'First Rays' of some of Jimi's final works.

The two 'Live at Berkeley' sets are also great.

Lately I've been listening to a mix tape of Jimi w/ organist Larry Young. Some loose and funky shit.

Probably from...



...Nine To The Universe


Supposedly there are some unreleased tracks with John McLaughlin from those sessions.

electric ladyland without a doubt it's so crazy good, experienced is good because of all the hits, but is kind of overplayed to me. I like the flow of the Electric Ladyland album. The music really takes you on a "trip"

Actually Aud it's the "Record Plant NYC" sessions with one side Larry Young and the other side John McLaughlin. But I always dug "Nine To The Universe" too. Not really "jazz", but you can hear the direction that Jimi was headed to.
