Jimi Hendrix - Machine Gun

Jimi Hendrix plays Machine Gun at Fillmore East. This is IMO the greatest live recording of all time. Had he not died, what could he have accomplished over the last 3 decades?

Instead of thinking about what could have been accomplished, we should be greatful for what was; sublime rock&roll that is still listened to nearly 40 years after it was made and an inspiration for several generations of musicians...

Early impressions can stay a life-time. My Dad used to come home after work and lie down on the floor in front of his record player, listening to Jimi, just to unwind. I think I love this music 'coz it reminds me of him.

This was not one of Jimi's best performances and he had incredible difficulty with Buddy Miles and Billy Cox to the extent that he walked off the stage at a Sweden Concert because this band could not follow the original bands music. It was quite a drop from the sublime musical interaction of the original "Experience" band. I do love seeing Jimi in action though the material and tone of this concert was rather depressing and the "live" album did not sell well at all.

You should watch Jimi and the original Experience live at The Royal Albert Hall, London, 1969. This filmed "live" concert is phenomenal.
