Album Notes
These performances are culled from four legendary concerts at New York's Fillmore East, including 13 previously unreleased tracks.Personnel: Jimi Hendrix (vocals, guitar); Billy Cox (bass); Buddy Miles (drums).Producer: Heaven Research.Compilation producers: Janie Hendrix, John McDermott, Eddie Kramer.Recorded live at The Fillmore East, New York, New York on December 31, 1969 & January 1, 1970. Includes liner notes by John McDermott.With Army buddy Billy Cox on bass and the Electric Flag's Buddy Miles on drums, Hendrix played four shows at the Fillmore East that closed out one decade and welcomed in another. This record (in addition to the video of the same name and the BAND OF GYPSYS album) documents these performances. Material he'd done with the Experience ("Stone Free," "Wild Thing") is mixed in with newer songs he'd worked on with the Gypsys, including "Power Of Soul" and "Machine Gun." Unlike his tenure with the Experience, Hendrix shares the spotlight with his new trio, with Buddy Miles performing a mini-set of "We Gotta Live Together," "Changes," and a cover of Howard Tate's "Stop."Newer songs such as "Earth Blues" and "Who Knows" ooze with synergy, particularly between Cox and Hendrix. For all the chemistry however, Hendrix remains the master. His crisp reading of "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" starts out in a straightforward enough manner before Hendrix begins destroying worlds with a high-flying style that dances around the edges of self-indulgence into a place of pure genius.

Editorial Reviews
4 Stars (out of 5) - ...Fevered, introspective, instinctively ambitious and emotionally devastating, this is Hendrix onstage and on fire - which is to say it's improvosational music as great as any that rock & roll has ever produced.
Rolling Stone (03/18/1999)

...Jimi clearly facing the dawn of a new decade with fire in his belly....his playing...is positively merciless....as assertion of power it's as blatant as anything Hendrix ever cut...
Mojo (04/01/1999)

...the long-awaited, definitive version of 1970's Band Of Gypsys....what makes this massive set such a find is the previously unreleased material...
