Jimi Hendrix – Band Of Gypsys (Remastered CD)
Product Details
Recorded live on New Year's Eve 1969 and New Year's Day 1970 at the Fillmore East, Band of Gypsys documents Hendrix alongside bassist Billy Cox and drummer Buddy Miles, a leaner, harder-grooving configuration than the Experience. The performances of "Machine Gun" alone cement this as one of the essential live documents in rock history, Hendrix channeling the weight of the Vietnam era into extended improvisation that still sounds unlike anything before or since.
A touchstone for blues, funk, fusion and rock, Band of Gypsy's captured Hendrix's transition from pop phenomenon to new unchartered territories. Upon it's release in 1970, Band of Gypsy's earned the guitarist his 5th consecutive Billboard Top 10 album; 2nd only in sales to Are You Experienced, the LP peaked at #5. This release (the 1st fully authorized Hendrix family edition) features all new remastering from the original tapes and new 24-page full-color booklet with added liner notes.
