Wow. This is your brain on music!!

thanks for da Axis, JRL. Too much. My mind soars into the coda. I looped that once into a ten minute repeater, pumpin...

Lately I be diggin Voodoo Soup, some really tasty Jimi licks and twangs.

I've been listening to the remastered version of Axis: Bold As Love, my favorite Hendrix record. 40 years later(could that be?) it still blows my mind every time. Jimi created a timeless world of magic that still takes me away..........

Jimi Live at Filmore East. Sounds great.

Thanks for the tip, jrl.

Is that The Band of Gypsys? Or is there another one from the Fillmore?

Yep. The Band of Gypsies. And I'm really digging that configuration.

I think the Cox-Miles rhythm section was really what Jimi had in mind with their deep R and B roots. Noel and Mitch, as good as they were, and they wouldn't have been with Jimi if they hadn't been good, were Chas Chandlers business decision. If Jimi had come out with an all black band, who knows if Anerica would have embraced him the way it did.

Heard an old Brit broadcast and interview of Ritchie Havens, last evening on the BBC.... Not very good fidelity, granted, but the surging vibes and energies made it really worthwhile...... "Clap your hands - clap your hands - Sometimes I feel like a motherless child"

I was just thinking about Richie Havens the other day. I really dug that little guy that played guitar with him.

Jimi and the Experienced Band of Gypsies - Berkeley, 5/30/70.

Was that the Cox/Mitchell version of the Experience? I saw them prolly within a week either way from that date at the Cal Expo race track.

Jimi did not look good, maybe 15 years or more older than his 27 years. He looked alternately tortured and bored. Their already had been rumors of his death going around, as much as year before.

Bluze tonite!! The real shit: Sonny Boy Williamson and Elmore James

Timeless stuff, if you haven't heard it check it out. Spiritualy powerful. Sonny Boy is a free soul at play and Elmore's goin down fast. This is the blues I fell in love with 40 years ago and it still floors me everytime.

Yep. Cox/Mitchell.

The berkeley show sounds pretty good and has decent energy. But I could see how Jimi could get bored under those circumstances. The Fillmore East New Years Eve/New years sets were basically four sets in two nights where many songs were performed four times. (Jimi even jokes about the band only knowing eight or nine songs. ) But that format would get old quickly, imo. And the Berkeley gig showcased basically the same material.

One show per night, two sets per show would have given the dude some space to stretch out, maybe. Who knows. Dude apparently got bored easily on stage.

Elmore and Sonny Boy!!!..... Prepare to be blissed out supremely... Have a great time bro.............
