Jimi Hendrix:Experience
The highpoint of this disc is a live performance from Stockholm Sweden in early 1969. The Emcee introduces The Jimi Hendrix Experience promising the audience some 'electric church music'. Jimi walks out looking like he just got out of bed, plugs in an uncharacteristic Gibson SG and proceeds to lay into a long bluesy Red House that starts and stops as Jimi gets acquainted with his new axe. After a long workout they next trot out Cream's Sunshine of your Love and work on it like scientists in a laboratory including an unexpected Noel Redding bass solo. I bought this dvd just for this performance although the other 45 mins. are an excellent primer for the newbies and a fond recollection for the old-timers. Recommended 5/21/07
