    Ever heard the studio outtakes of it, where Jimi is playing with the tape speeds, shouting and letting the feedback from his voice just roar in repeat?

    I discovered this recently:

    i hate to go with the crowd, but it's gotta be electric ladyland.

    Either Band of Gypsys, or Jimi Blues. Basically anything after the experience. The Experience were obviously amazing, but he just jammed much more, and I feel like its much more about the music, on everything after the Experience.

    Yes, I think that had a lot to do with the change of bass player in June 1969. I think Billy Cox had a much funkier style than Noel Redding and he provided a solid platform for Jimi to improvise. Power of Soul is a great example of Jimi and Billy using unison guitar and bass parts and driving a relentless groove.

    Power of Soul is my favorite Jimi song.

    is electric lady land

    lay back and groove on a rainy day

    one of my favorite local musicians, mike finnigan, plays b3 on this track
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    I've always been a fan of 'First rays of the new Rising Sun'. I think my all time fav track though is 'Little Miss Lover' (Interesting side note: the drums from this song form the backing loop to A Tribe Called Quest's 'Scenario' :))

    I recently got hold of 'Live atWoodstock' aswell. WOW.

    It's a pity the complete Woodstock gig has never been officially released. Every version misses out "Mastermind" and "Gypsy Woman" featuring Larry Lee on vocals. They're worth hearing for Jimi's beautiful arpeggiated rhythm work.


    This site is great for streams of taper friendly (legal) rare Jimi:

    Every time I try to play anything (I like the look of all that Zappa!! :D) it just starts to play that 5 second 'intro' music? (I'm using Windows media 10).

    After 5pm New York time, you can stream and download .wma files without that annoying music.

    It depends on my mood....Are You Experienced is obviously a powerhouse album, one hit after another but it's also quite a lengthy experience. To me, Axis is the easiest, shortest, poppiest album and is a great 60s gem. Electric Ladyland is easily the artistic triumph, showcasing incredible songs and innovations with only a few duds. I'd have to go with Electrc Ladyland if only for the fact that it has the amazing "All Along the Watchtower" and "Voodoo Child"


    Lovin that little riff in the beginning of 1983 these days...a lot of fun to play too
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    I have to go to with Electric Ladyland, just because of Voodoo Chile, Crosstown Traffic, All Along the Watchtower and Voodoo Child(Slight Return). The 16 minute jam that is Voodoo Chile is amazing! I could listen to it forever. I think I like it more than Slight Return. Hendrix is God.
    32 shows and counting...

    another vote for Electric Ladyland....The quintessential Hendrix album. When a newbie asks about Jimi, you give them this one.
    Once in a while you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Axis:Bold as Love.

    However the Hendrix Blues album relased about 10 years ago or so is incredibly good. That's right up there. The electric "Hear My Train A'Comin'"
    is so amazing its scary.

    That version was from the first set at Berkeley, May 30th 1970. If you can get hold of a recording of the first set and the official Dagger release of the second set, do. :)
