Live Hendrix.....


I realise most live Hendrix is poorly recorded and often inconsistent performances...at any rate..I have the Berkely 2nd set...which is quite good...any others that come to mind sonically?

Man, you have to hear "Hendrix in the West". This one came out in 1971 and has to be some of the best live Hendrix. It was released on Reprise MS2049. The whole thing is awesome but the live version of "Little Wing" on side one is the bomb.
Yes Electric ladyland. Voodoo Chile is spectacular. Cd or record. Is one of my references Jimmy Right stage Keyboards left front drums sit infront of you You can vision the hight of the marshal stacks.
Having been a Hendrix fan for 37 years. I remember being eleven yrs. old , blissed out listening to Purple Haze , When my Mom came screaming into the room "Turn it down, this guy must be hopped up on dope." Well, yea, anyway, for my money Hear My Train A Comin on Woodstock Two remains my favorite.
In the early 80's Reprise issued "The Jimi Hendrix Concerts" a double album set. Very good sound production, and the greatest live Hendrix album(s) or CD I've ever heard. It has an extended version of Stone Free that has arguably the best live guitar solo played by Hendrix as well as a nice Mitch Mitchell solo. This song was recorded in London's Albert Hall in 1969. The double album also includes great versions of Little Wing, Voodoo Chile, Are You Experienced?, etc. and some great slow blues. Buy this ASAP if you can find it anywhere.
If you can find it, there was a CD that came out about 1988 "Live at the BBC" or "Radio One Sessions" or something like that. It was a set of recordings that were live in the studio for BBC Radio-One broadcast. The sound quality is decent and the playing as amazing.
