A Nice Collection
2009-11-27 - 4 complete shows from each of the years 1967-1970. Some of the songs repeat. The sound quality if
uniformly quite good, some excellent. A must have for die-hard fans. Casual fans may not be so interested.

Once upon a time...
2009-11-15 - This would have been the ultimate Hendrix Live Box Set. And the premise still stands. Take a Historical Concert from each of Hendrix's trio years, and package with 3 more years. 1967-Stockholm 1968-Paris 1969-San Diego 1970-Hatlanta,close to my hart. 67 Young Lean & Hungry-Opens with Sgt.Peppers. Stand Out track-Wind Cries Mary
68 Confident & Sassy-Blues all over. Stand Out track-Little Wing 69 Older & Wiser-Changin' the format. Stand Out track- Red House. 70 The New Church. Stand Out track-Stone Free (which he could always nail no matter how the rest of the night came/went) There you are. Thanx...


Great 'live' reckoner for anyone interested in Jimi
2007-04-24 - The 4 CD boxset shows the remarkable growth of a remarkable talent. He recorded for a mere 4 years - yet few artistes have had such an astonishing influence and impact.

The first 2 cds(Stockholm 67, Paris 68) capture the experience in all their early euphoria. CDs 3 & 4 - San Diego 69 and Atlanta 70 (the latter with Billy Cox replacing Noel Redding on bass), are much better as live recordings. The band here really cooks with blistering versions of older songs and some great new songs.

If you want to experience live Hendrix, then stages is as good a place to start as any.

Holy smokes! Jimi live in 4 well recorded shows. Yummy.
2006-02-19 - I was lucky, in a sense, I bought the cassette version of this set years ago. It made a great box set then and would still be lovely if it was still in print. I see the price for this CD set gets kinda high. A shame cuz the music is a real treasure.

Nice packaging with pictures and commentary.

Four shows from four different years. Great idea. I'm pleased that the Jimi Hendrix estate is continuing to officially release more and more of his music. He apparently did recording of his shows and his many jam sessions after shows with other musicians. He also recorded a lot of studio material that never got released.

One of the tricks to Jimi gigs is to find well recorded ones. Those who originally released this set were able to use well recorded shows and, I assume, clean them up so that they make for a great listen. If you get the chance, I highly recommend this set. For any Jimi fan it's a must. As you probably know, he was one of those artists who was both strong in the studio as well as dynamic live. This set gives you hours of proof of what he could do live. Yup. chrisbct@hotmail.com

Great Overview of Jimi's Career
2006-01-18 - The idea behind this box set was to take four similar concerts, one from each year he toured between '67 and '70. This gives the listener the opportunity to see how Jimi and the band changed the songs over the years. The set lists don't exactly match, but have a fair amount of overlap. The '69 and '70 shows are the best with jimi and the band playing great. The sound quality is good on all of the shows. I wouldn't recommend this as a first purchase for Jimi material, but for any fan it's worth having.
