JIMI HENDRIX

JIMI HENDRIX
WOODSTOCK (1994)
320 KBPS

This is definitely not the best release of Hendrix's Woodstock live show, but this was the first of them. Anybody interested in Hendrix or virtuoso guitar playing in general must own this performance. Jimi left us very little of his studio works, and the main part of his impressive musical legacy is his numerous live performances. Here he plays his usual mix of popular hits, like "Fire" and "Purple Haze", some very emotional pieces, like "Red House" and "Villanova Junction", funky "Hear My Train A Comin'", one of his most famous pieces, "Star-Spangled Banner", and a live jam. As usual, live versions of songs differ much from their studio interpretations. I can't say that Jimi's or his supporting band's performance is absolutely flawless, but that's live show, and it is precious as it was played.

c'est très d'actualité avec le génial "TAKING WOODSTOCK" de Ang Lee."
