Good Live Hendrix

tn-rudeboy

This is a typical live Hendrix performance filled with great guitar sounds played by a master. I especially like the nearly 11 minute "Stone Free" jam, but everything on this album is first rate. The music is worthy of five stars, but I am giving this four stars because of the relatively poor bit rate. The average bit rate for these six tracks is around 186, and by today's standards thats simply not acceptable.

Wonderful! The only Hendrix worth downloading on emusic (Canada). So do it now, man, because "The Story of Life is quicker than the wink of an eye, The Story of Love is Hello and Goodbye."

ugaboy5

it may not be the greatest it may not be authorized it may be a bootleg recording but it is JIMI AND IT IS GREAT just to hear different live versions of some of JIMI'S hits is quite refreshing if you're into JIMI at all you know all his live recordings were an expression of the way JIMI felt right then not some polyester rehearsed every gig sounds the same version of his songs and yes HEAR MY TRAIN ACOMIN IS ALL JIMI thanks e music for this rare glimpse of JIMI'S brilliance

Preview, preview, preview

What a bunch of morons. There are different versions of Jimi doing Star Spangled Banana. Use the preview buttons. If the only thing you know about Hendrix is the Woodstock recordings, then you're not enough of a real fan to warrant this recording. You deserve what you get; this is brilliant stuff.

Not the Star Spangled Banner

diggsc

There's no rhyme or reason to call track 6 "Star Spangled Banner" except to confuse. This is not the recording that comes to mind with that title, and it in no way constitutes more than three notes of the SSB.

Live Boot

This is a live bootleg, but just download Hear My Train A'Coming and Red House first - they are outstanding. This version of Hear My Train was on the Rainbow Bridge LP and is amongst Jimi's finest live recordings. The rest are more dicey.

do you really, really love jimi?

goldandrose

stop whining! if you really love jimi, you are hungry for any recordings because if you know his work, you know he personalized every performance. ok so some tracks are not "professionally finished or may have recording problems, but i don't care...i will take any jimi i can find, there is always his little asides that he says to his audience-he talks to us with humor or irony and i will take the recording blemishes along with the beauty.

Foxy Lady

I only downloaded this one track. It is a live recording but it sounds pretty good, close to what I am used to hearing.

Live At Royal Albert Hall

Vagabond

This is a live recording from 24th February 1969. This Royal Albert Hall Performance was filmed and recorded, because it was planned to be released as a movie, "Experience". The movie has never seen an official release (that I am aware of), but there are many unofficial packagings of the audio recording, of varying quality and under many different names! I believe this was the first half of a complete concert, except for track 6 which closes the second half. And the show started with 'Lover Man' which is not here. The second half can be found on eMusic.com as 'His Greatest Hits Vol I'.
