 Rating:  - Live At Filmore East'Live at Filmore East' is a double live album of Jimi Hendrix playing with Band of Gypseys. Having just listened to 'Live at Monterey' which was at the start of his career and this which was towards the end, you can see some real differences. 'Monterey' had short, punchy songs designed to make an impact and this Filmore concert has more extended jams and longer songs where Jimi gets into his groove and shows you a more bluesy, almost jazzy side of his playing. You get a storming selection of tracks and highlights for me were 'Izabella', both versions of 'Machine Gun', 'Voodoo Chile' and 'Earth Blues'. Saying that, this whole concert has amazing tracks and an incredible feel. Yet again with these Experience Hendrix recordings there is a ... Read More: Rating:  - Essential HendrixBand of Gypsys has always been my favourite Hendrix album, and this expanded set from the same performances at the Filmore is even better. The sound quality is spot on and the rhythm section of Buddy Miles and Billy Cox keep Hendrix grounded and yet give him more space in a way that The Experience never did. Stunning, beautiful, powerful. One of the finest live performances ever recorded. Rating:  - Diverting but UnnecessaryFor those of you who aren't entirely sure what this release is, on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day 1969/70 Hendrix recorded his two shows a day with his new all black three piece in the hopes of salvaging enough material for a "new" (yet live) album. The results were the flawed masterpiece "Band of Gypsies", and if you haven't acquired that stop reading and buy that instead. This release is essentially two hours of the best of what was left from his four shows those two nights. So you get another two takes of the fantastic "Machine Gun" (if you really want them), a fantastic extended "Stone Free", and the usual show-stopping "Voodoo Chile", "Foxy Lady" et.al., as well as newer souly material and horrendous Buddy Miles songs. Read More: Rating: - A fine performanceOther reviews give a track by track listing, so there’s no point in repeating that. I’ll just emphasise a few points that a Hendrix fan might want to be clear on before deciding whether or not to buy this double CD. The first thing to note about this release is that the contents of this double CD differ from the tracks previously released on ‘Band Of Gypsys’ – I had thought is was just an extended compilation of tracks from the four shows on 31.12.69 and 01.01.70 but the track listing and enclosed booklet point out this important detail. Even if you have ‘BOG’, it is still very worthwhile getting this set for the different performances if you are a keen Hendrix fan. Secondly, given the dates of these shows, I have to ...
