Jimi Hendrix: Performances
built 130 days ago
A terrific compilation of live performances - nearly every one of which appears on the confusingly-titled boxed set The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Monterey and Woodstock are his most famous performances, but far from his best: the takes of "Little Wing," "Red House" and "Voodoo Chile" here are exquisite, plus there are smoking covers of "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Johnny B. Goode." The one non-classic cut, the Isle of Wight version of "God Save The Queen," is mercifully short.

In 1972 British producer Joe Boyd put together a film documentary on Hendrix's life, which played in art-house cinemas around the world for many years. The double-album soundtrack to the film, which included live performances from Monterey, Berkeley and the Isle of Wight, is probably the best of the posthumous releases.

This is one of the more recent releases, but before the Hendrix family managed to wrestle control over his legacy from Alan Douglas and his company of greedy cash-craving sharks. Due to this sad state of affairs, most of these 'releases' over the years have been fairly unlistenable (poor live performances, lousy outtakes, mix-ups of previously released and unreleased stuff, etc.), and I'm pretty sure ninety-nine percent of this stuff will disappear over the next few years. So, while it still hasn't, better go ahead and acquire this record with such a fairly modest title, 'cause it might be one of the few worthy items in the 1971-1996 Hendrix catalogue, with a solid track listing and at least a sense of unity.
