Not hip to this release. Always heard rumored that there was more material surrounding the Hendrix/Young/McLaughlin get together but i've been skeptical of anything involving Alan Douglas. Anyway here's a link to a page where these sessions are discussed by John McLaughlin and other sources. There are also 2 RealAudio tracks on the page - Drivin' South & McLaughlin Jam. Nothing to write home about. http://www.angelfire.com/.../jmjh.html I just saw Jimi about two or three times after that jam at the Record Plant, but we didn't play together then. Every time we met we were in a rehearsal studio, and it just happened; I have no secret disclosures. Listen, they tell me they found tapes of Jimi and me. There's a whole hoo-ha about it, and it's such a lot of bull. When I asked them to send something I'd want to hear, they sent me something which had two or three minutes on it -- that's all. But if there *is* something, enough to make an album or two or whatever, then I want to hear it. And if it's good, I want it out; I want people to share it. But if it's not good, it's a ripoff. Jimi's been ripped off artistically since he died, just for the sake of money, and that's a ripoff of the people as well. So I won't put anything out until I feel there's something good, because I feel responsible for his and my own policy, no matter who says what. I know what's good, and I'm not going to do it for money. I'm going to do it because the *music* is happening; that's all. But believe me, if it's good, it's going to be out there. ~John McLaughlin tA  Tribal Disorder

I love the first four equally, all for different reasons. And I have to add "Cry of Love" and "Monterey Pop" to the list, too, 'cause my cousin had the actual albums - that's when I really got into Hendrix. My author page: https://www.amazon.com/au...eretttruth | |

Aud, thanks so much for posting that! The JM interviews broke down a lot of info on those sessions. | |

Choosing From His Catalogue is like choosing from a candystore for me. I'll say the following in no particular order:
Band Of Gypsys Are You Experienced? Electric Ladyland | |

I have 2 go with 'Electric Ladyland' as the album by Jimi Hendrix. I love that album along with 'Are You Experienced?'. I love songs like 'Voodoo Child (Slight Return)', All Along The Watchtower, 'Rainy Day, Dream Away', 'Still Raining, Still Dreaming' 'Crosstown Traffic', 'Voodoo Chile', 'Gypsy Eyes' and 'Have You Ever Been (To Elecric Ladyland)'. 'Have You Ever Been (To Elecric Ladyland)' is great, it's one of my all-time favorite Jimi tracks along with 'Crosstown Traffic' and others. | |
