Have they ever reissued this concert? It was fabulous. I have a so-so video copy. It's funny because they left the lights up really bright at the show. |

This is one of my favorites. Funny comparing the couple us/uk studio versions to the live versions.
There is/was a cool Hal Leonard book/cd called Red House, that transcribed like 6, if I had to guess, of his classic Red House solos. I had a search and I have 64 different versions of Jimi playing Red House. But now the lyrics are antiquated, like Hey Joe, or many other Hendrix tunes (yes, HJ wasn't written by him). The In The West San Diego version was for many years my pick. |

In the West was I think, besides Axis: Bold as Love, one of my most listened to albums. I spent a lot of time to go back and find all of those concerts.
Berkeley was top notch. The difference between the set was stark. I think he got somewhat experienced between sets. Last edited by mc1; 07-02-2020 at 07:22 PM. |

Speed and shredding is robotic. I don’t think that either qualifies as “out-Hendrixing.” I do agree that without the pioneers none of this would have evolved. While I marvel at what some of these kids can do, I end up saying “so what.” Bo-ring.

It is. Written by Dylan in 1967.

A lot of budding musicians look at speed and technical skills as important indicators. I certainly did when I was 12. As I logged hours on the instrument and even more hours on the turntable I learned about all the other aspects of music. I remember having a discussion with someone who felt that Stevie Ray Vaughn was a better player than Hendrix (when Stevie first came out and was heavily Hendrix influenced). His point was that Stevie was so much cleaner and consistent. My contention was that Stevie might not have even been playing professionally if Jimi hadn't paved the way. (BTW, I dug Stevie a LOT when he developed his own strong style.)

Many years ago I found a German Polydor CD of In The West. To my knowledge that was the only time it was ever released on CD. However, all the songs IIRC have been released on CD. It was a 4 CD package called The Jimi Hendrix Experience. The 1969 Royal Albert Hall film is of course legendary and, last I heard, unreleased. There was a decades-long legal dispute holding up the release.

He was so great that the best song changes day to day or with my mood. So many of those have been mentioned already in the thread, and I love every one of them.
I'll single out two songs: "1983 A Merman I should turn to be" which is a wonderful composition. There's a demo floating around with just an (unplugged?) electric guitar and voice where Hendrix shows how formed the composition was before the recorded version we all know. The other is "Machine Gun" which is a great, expressive, funky jam.

But my favorite Hendrix blues performance will always be Bleeding Heart from Albert Hall 1969. Starts off with 3(!) choruses even before he gets to the lyrics. It's an 8 1/2 minute master class on dynamics and making the guitar talk and sing.
