Live Hendrix.....

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.

I have a Band of Gypsies that is a Audio Technica pressing from Japan that I bought in Santa Rosa. I bought it because the cover is a doll of Hendrix holding his guitar and it blows away ANYTHING I have of his in my collection. I mean when someone asks me do you have any Hendrix I put this on. I have this paticular recording on Capitol(original pressing) the MCA 200 gram original Remaster on Vinyl and they don't even come close. For live recordings this and my Classic Vinyl 200 gram Humble Pie live at the Filmore East are my references.

There are some really good live performances on the 4 disc box set "Jimi Hendrix Experience." Overall, i was really pleased with the sound quality, imaging and soundstage.

Band of Gypsies on Classic Records vinyl (1997) is remarkable.

One fool i know who is a worse Jimi fanatic than me has at least 30 live JH releases that i've checked out. The import of In The West on vinyl stands as the finest sound quality Hendrix so far. It's %$#*!!! unbelievable
