Of course, some of the Hendrix stuff released after his death is truly horid, but they were cashing in on everything they could before his family had control of his estate. Bleeding Heart was a jam session, poorly recorded in a club in New York. Everyone was too far out of thier minds to play.

Yes I agree, the family is milking every last drop out of his recordings.

That wasn't Gibsonman63's point. He's saying (I think) the worst of it was before the family wrestled control away from the California lawyer who controlled the estate until 1995. Most of the crappy, cash-cow album releases were pre-1995 and the family had no hand in that.

I've met John McDermott, author and Hendrix archivist who was hired by the family a few years ago to go through the "vaults" of recordings. He said there's tons of stuff that nobody has heard. Lucky guy to get that job.

Blues Saraceno can do great Hendrix thing for realz.

Mitch lived part time here in town and one of my regrets is never having him over to jam out in the basement. He looked the same so many years later, just an older kid with floral pattern slippers.

I always thought it was sort of magical that Mitch became Hendrix' drummer. Hendrix would have been successful regardless, but Mitch certainly added to the uniqueness of the Experience.

Damn, I'm off to listen to Manic Depression. And don't forget the brushes on Up From The Skies.

The whole treatment of Hendrix' catalog after his death has been pretty up and down.

It reminds me of old quote about computer documentation being like sex, "When it's good, it's really good, when it's bad, it's still better than nothing."

+1 on Manic Depression! Awesome drumming.

[Reeltarded]

I can't stand the drugged out jammy thing that is Band Of Gypsys. Forgive me.

Hendrix released 3 records that I recognize, and I can forgive the rest. The rest... The Rest.

Oh, and Mitch was a little god.

+1 on Manic Depression! Awesome drumming.

My favorite tune from JH! I love 3/4 time, what a groove!

.......... Hendrix released 3 records that I recognize, and I can forgive the rest...............

Interesting.

Are you counting the double-album Electric Ladyland as one, or two, records?

[Reeltarded]

Are You Experienced (1967)
Axis: Bold as Love (1967)
Electric Ladyland (1968)

^^^^^^

[NickC]

Are You Experienced (1967)
Axis: Bold as Love (1967)
Electric Ladyland (1968)

^^^^^^

I can go along with that. Those are three of the greatest albums in the entirety of the rock music lexicon ..... heck, three of the greatest in the entirety of ALL music ever recorded.

[LeftyStrat]

Are You Experienced (1967)
Axis: Bold as Love (1967)
Electric Ladyland (1968)

^^^^^^

What's amazing is the musical progression from Are You Experienced to Axis, and all done in the same year. And then the further progression to Electric Ladyland a year later.

Reel -
I can't believe you said that. You must need some coffee or 420 cause you're just not thinkin right. Just when I thought you were cool. Forgive you? Hell no. Let me help you get your head on straight.

BOG is Hendrix in the moment as never before or since. He is finally able to single-mindedly play his guitar without any interference from studio issues, songwriting responsibilities, white boys on bass, rampant tuning problems or any other thought process that might interfere with his guitar playing. Can't you hear and feel the freedom? He's exuberent. I can feel him smiling and laughing through the whole show. Don't get me wrong, the albums you mentioned are jaw dropping, even today, and might be the best ever recorded, but Hendrix plays the most soulful BLUES guitar that he ever played on the BOG album. That's Jimi's blues baby. So sorry to hear that you missed it. Machine Gun, Who Knows, Message of Love, wait... POWER OF SOUL!!! Ya, that's his soul. Have you never been experienced?

[Reeltarded]

Don't be offended! I like pop music more than a jam out. Run and done.

The Experience sounds produced. I do like individual Gypsys songs, but the hits and the misses sound very similar and more conceived out of.. a jam.

I produce records. Don't be hatin' on me!

[LeftyStrat]

I've always wondered what a collaboration between Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix would have been like.
