Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsys

[@thakozhani]

One of the greatest live albums ever recorded! WITH THE POWER OF SOUL ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!

[@jameskennedy721]

Buddy Miles sent Hendrix into overdrive . Some of Jimi's best playing is with Buddy , the rehearsals as well as the live shows .

But I often wonder what the Band of Gypsies album would be like with Mitch Mitchell on drums.

[@jameskennedy721]

@@johnayres2303 Thats easy . When Mitch came back in the band - probably at the insistence of the suit and tie money men - they did many shows . Billy Cox is still on bass . Mitch and Billy are also the anchor sound at the Woodstock Festival .

Why at 53 years of age am I totally and undeniably obsessed with this artist and this album? Listen to it!! It was released two years ago and it's the first of four shows and it's.....MIND BLOWING! I thought I knew Hendrix.....NO I didn't! I am mastering this performance start to finish and intend to take it live very soon! This album is BLACK AS FUCK and I LOVE IT! Quite possibly the greatest live rock album I have ever heard. I love Mitch and Noel (the Hendrix Experience) but this rhythm section is so much more powerful! Buddy and Billy absolutely kill it. No prisoners.

Thats one of the truest things I've heard

[@GosokuRyuYodan]

Jimi needed a drummer who played rock and blues and understood those idioms. He needed a guy who understood 2 + 4. Mitch Mitchell was uncontrollable, as was Kieth Moon. Buddy Miles was perfect. He locked in the time and allowed Jimi to soar. Also, Billy Cox was a true bassist. Noel Redding was a frustrated guitar player playing bass. The Experience was thrown together by a recording company. Band of Gypsys was Jimi's band, the way he heard it. I wish we could have heard more from them. I idolized Hendrix, and I'm a drummer...

[@JohnDoe-hq7yg]

Frustrated? No.

[@sellmeyoursoul6601]

I think Noel is good but Mitch is always behind the beat

[@criskatan]

Yeah, when I heard Buddy on drums it felt so right. I don't care if his cousin Mitch can play circles around Buddy, Buddy was so much of a fit and a way bigger asset. But, I get the nepotism thing, because with it comes an assurance.

[@standaman1963]

Also his band, which by the way why I believe he was murdered because they didn't want a black rock supergroup.

[@BobK5]

@@standaman1963 who’s they? If you look at the evidence it all points to Monika Danneman pouring red wine down his throat while he was out on pills. She wanted to tie him down and he made it clear that he didn’t want to be tied down. So, motive - scorned woman (powerful emotional stuff), opportunity- she was in bed with him (they, whoever they are, weren’t) means - the bottles of red wine. She lied and lied afterwards and eventually killed herself (unless ‘they’ killed her as well). She killed him, may not have meant to but the damage is done, not Mike Jeffries, not the FBI, just a hot headed woman that Jimi fooled around with and underestimated. He didn’t understand women, he was too young and it’s tragic, disastrous but we’ve got some of his work and a lot is hidden away.

At that point in my life his music on band of gypsies changed my music life......

[@Jedizen07]

I got this title recently. And the more I listen to it, the more I realize that this disc is a WAY MORE energetic version from the official release. In fact, this show confirms Eddie Kramer's story that this first show is where Hendrix and company played with more fire ( no pun intended ) than the following show, where Jimi stood stock still and laid down some of the most fiery guitar playing captured. This is a great release and I would encourage Hendrix fans to pick it up. And the sound is breathtakingly subtle and loud. Not an easy mix to make but with Kramer on board, it's supremely good!!

[@grahammj]

David McCain I thought the reason he stood relatively still for the later set was because someone told him that playing with his teeth and behind his head made fur a great show, but a shit live record

[@Jedizen07]

If you check out Eddie Kramer's " Setting The Record Straight, " you'll find some information on pages 246-247 that provide some evidence the Graham criticism lecture to Hendrix story is false. There was a book produced after Hendrix's death which propagated that story from Graham. But it's not true. Check out Machine Gun anyway. You'll totally dig it!

[@OswaldGilharry]

Guitar God!

[@mattludlam2194]

Personally, I prefer his later 69-70 stuff with the Gypsies and the guys he played with at Woodstock. His playing feels more soulful with less of the commercial elements that Chandler pushed on him, with the whole chorus verse thing. My favourite track from this period at the moment is "Sundance"

All of Jimi's various band configurarions created some excellent songs, so for me there is no "best" Hendrix band.

[@tomgeorgearts]

More barrel-scraping from the Hendrix estate. Of the four shows they recorded over those nights, this one was considered not good enough to release, merely a 'warm up' show. "This was Jimi saying the Experience is over"? says Eddie Kramer. So how come he went back to playing with Mitch Mitchell, in 3 piece with Billy Cox playing all the old stuff soon after? Ok the Hendrix estate (and Eddie Kramer) want to keep making money out of Jimi's talent. but please don't re-write history...

[@coltranewashere]

Baby.... if he played it... WE WANT TO HEAR IT

[@hesselvanderwal6807]

Tom George I agree. They always make it sound like they found a new treasure. The original album is far better. Jimi picked those songs himself. I bought this CD myself but to be honest I have only listened to it twice and that's it. I wasn't impressed with Valleys of Neptune nor with People, Hell & Angels. I am a bit fed up with the people who say everything is so great. Jimi being such a perfectionist would be the the first to stop these albums from being released had he still been alive. I am just waiting for The Royal Albert Hall blu ray to be finally released. Now that was a great concert.

[@tomgeorgearts]

Absolutely. The Albert Hall stuff is incredible.

[@jayinri6658]

youre wrong my friend, THIS was the band and the style jimi wanted to experiment with, the experience was put together to launch jimi by his management and thats why gypsies didnt last because the ppl manipulating him didnt want it to

[@josephgomes6829]

correct. Mike Jeffries, the manager dosed Jimi at Mad Square Garden to put the nail in the coffin of this experiment. Jeffries wanted to make money and keep Jimi touring which not long after depleted Jimi and the rest is history. I always ask myself if all these fuckers like Kramer really thought Jimi was so great and wonderful then why did'nt they help him when he needed it? It was no secret that he had management problems, they all knew it, all the big bands knew it and no one stepped up for Jimi. They let him go...

just wanted to let you know that Jesus Christ loves you so much no matter what you done or been through. and He will save us from our sins if we put our faith and trust in Him! because we all sinned and fell short of Gods perfect glory (romans 3:23) and the wages of sin is eternal death! (romans 6:23) but the gift of God is this john 3:16-21 "for God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. this is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposes. but whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God." and romans 10:9-13 "if you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord" and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. for it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. as scripture says, "anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame. "for there is no difference between Jew and Gentile - the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on Him, for, "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." so God is coming at a time we least expect, and if we put our faith and trust in Him He will gift us His grace and clothe us with the righteousness of His blood (but of course death could not hold Him, He is risen!) and we will have eternal life in His kingdom where there will be there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying. there will be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. because He loves you so much! (romans 5:6-8) but if we deny and reject Him and don't repent from our sins to follow God, then we will have our part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. because no liar, no thief, no blasphemer (using Gods name in vain as a cuss word to express anger or disgust) and no adulterer (Jesus Christ says in matthew 5 that anyone who just looks at someone to lust for they’re an adultery at heart) will enter the kingdom of heaven. so hear these words, repent and believe the gospel! accept Jesus Christ and confess your sins to Him so that He will forgive you and give you a life with truth and real love and joy and peace that this world can never give you or fulfill in you you! and the love and joy and peace that He will give you will never fade away or perish. this is all if you haven't done this yet and Jesus Christ hasn't saved you yet, also when you have time please you should watch this channel on youtube called "Christ forgiveness ministries" and hear what they have to say, glory to God. God bless you! 🙌👑💟 ye
