    Machine Gun is the first of three shows that Jimi played over New Years at the old Fillmore East. There have been releases before most notably A Band of Gypys that were tracks hand picked by Hendrix from different shows. By accounts that I have read online form people who were there for some or all of the shows this first show was the weakest. Some of the tracks have never been released and the sound is rough in spots but still it is good to have a complete show for a change. Rumor has it that the other shows will also be released in time. A must have for any Hendrix fan.

    The loss of Jimi Hendrix grows deeper with every reissue and new release of "lost" recordings. This performance with the band of gypsys from the Fillmore shows just how much more could have been... Billy Cox holds the music together keeping Buddy Miles and Jimi from flying off on their separate ways. Great music although it would have been nice to have both shows on one cd.

    Another release from the Hendrix vaults. As with their other releases it is produced and mastered very well. This is from late in his career and includes songs not heard as often. His talent as always is amazing! This set is for fans who want to hear something rare.

    Live Band of Gypsys

    Since the material was not released until 1971 (Cry of Love), this audience (Fillmore East) heard all-new material - nothing from his three Experience albums - that night. A great performance, but Cry of Love is the basis for comparison, less so the Experience material.

    The Band Of Gypsy line-up was always a refreshing break from The Experience line-up. These songs find a pleasurable groove and we get to experience the concert as a member of the audience in a more naturalistic flow than before.
