Description

Having disbanded the original Experience line-up, Hendrix was looking to put together a new band in order to afford him the opportunity to widen his musical scope. Although the expanded new group, the Band of Gypsies, are a little ragged round the edges, this is one hell of a performance from the main man. This is Jimi on top of his game, in total command of his axe and leaving every other player in the dirt whilst casually chatting to the audience of thousands between tracks. From the brutal "Voodoo Child" to a typically incendiary "Purple Haze", this whole album rocks. It also contains one ofmore… the most talked about pieces of music in the history of popular culture - his rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner". Thousands of words have been written about the cultural significance of this sonic burning of the Stars and Stripes over the years, but its power remains undiminshed and still gives me the shivers every time I hear it. An historical moment in the history of popular culture and a totally mind-blowing concert, it's a crime he's not still alive today. Five stars, you won't hear many concerts as good as this one.
