Some of these jams are inspiring, and some of this is just good old fashioned rehearsing.
If Jimi had continued in this direction, he'd have likely opened up a whole new dimension of music.
We'll never know. RIP Jimi.

Black and white people hanging together, high as hell, playing with weapons…good stuff.
I have a feeling he may have gone down the Jazz Fusion route, he jammed with McLaughlin a few times.
All Along The Watch Tower...Hey Joe...Stone Free...his best.
The box set of the live at winterland shows are all pretty tremendous. I think they were all in october of 68. A killer live act.

I love Rock and Roll but I never was much of a fan of Jimi Hendrix. I felt he was overrated because of his race and that he died so young. His stuff was just OK in my book.
One of the most talented artists ever to grace the musical sphere. He was pure genius.
He was also highly prolific. His close circle said for every one song he recorded, there were 40 others waiting in the wings and they were amazing. That all died with him.
Too bad he lived in a time when illicit harmful drugs ravaged the entertainment industry.
RIP Jimi.

“he’d have likely opened up a whole new dimension of music. “
He already did that on Electric Ladyland.
And followed up with virtuoso performances on Band of Gypsies.
1983 a Merman I Should turn to Be is as good as any rock/pop/psych composition in existence.
Never got the ‘draw’ of Hendrix or Joplin for that matter. Yeah, both were talented but I don’t get the groupie mentality.
I think "The Cry Of Love" vanished from catalogs, along with "Rainbow Bridge" and "War Babies", when the family finally acquired control over the estate. Too bad, "The Cry Of Love" is a good record, and a couple of good tracks were on "Rainbow Bridge" (I've never had a copy of "War Babies"). If it hasn't happened already, I'd be surprised if remastered versions aren't eventually released just to milk for some more bucks.
always liked his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock- yeah, it was hippie dippy anti-war crap- but still it sounded pretty cool- he made the guitar sound like helicopter rotors, and gun fire- somehow- was quite trippy really-
Oops, “War Heroes”, looks like junk. CD is import only on Amazon, $98. So, not gettin’ it.
