Hendrix Band of Gypsies

Especially "Machine Gun," played at midnight on Jan. 31, 1969 ...at the Fillmore West. Probably the most incredible guitar moment of Jimi's career. ...or anyone's.

"Hendrix Band of Gypsies"

'Bout time. 34 posts in.

Along with Allman Brothers Filmore East (oddly, both albums recorded at the SAME venue within a couple of years!) you have the top live albums of all time.

It's impossible to put one above the other.

Holding down a solid second place is the Stones Get Yer YaYas Out from Madison Square Garden recorded in the same era.

The song Machine Gun on that Band of Gypsys is Hendrix at his very best. Just when you think the channeling should ease back it gets more insane. A lot of Hendrix live material is crappy because he would get too damn high. That Album is my favorite for live Hendrix.
