Los Angeles Forum - April 26, 1969 (Vinyl)

in questo live hendrix suona qualsiasi genere di musica pop.

Une grande partie de l'enregistrement est vraiment parfaite ou du moins retravaillé. Jimi Hendrix et l' expérience en super forme nécessaire pour les fondus d'Hendrix et même cela seront surpris par le maître absolue du son et sa très grande maîtrise du blues.

Magnífico concierto, magnífico sonido y magnífica edición en vinilo, con un excelente prensaje.Además, incluye el mismo libreto del CD, pero en tamaño LP. Así deberían venir todas las ediciones en vinilo.

当時の状況が良くわかりジミもサービス精神満開、毎回驚きの物が出てくるジミですが今回SFOも最高でしたまだ、まだフィルムや音源出てきそう！没時１０歳の俺も６3歳笑笑-まだまだジミ神に期待です。

Gracias. Saludos

Shortly after Jimi Hendrix's untimely death, his recordings archive fell into the hands of one Alan Douglas, who subsequently cobbled together several very shoddy releases that were met with a great deal of derision from his peers, the music press and the Jimi Hendrix records buying public.Fast forward to April 1997 and the fruits of the first releases now under the direct supervision of the Hendrix family estate, trading as Experience Hendrix. Eddie Kramer has been chief audio restoration soundman / audio producer on every single one of over 30 different titles EH have released since, as well as all 15 titles as released on the EH official bootleg label, Dagger Records.Kramer's Hendrix portfolio dates back to the year before opening Electric Ladyland Studios with Jimi as house chief engineer.His integrity is infinite, despite also having to do the best he could with the deplorable PPX recordings that were virtually junked by a previous so-called "producer".This is a fantastic quality recording and had originally been made by the legendary Wally Heider and Bill Halverson, two guys who really knew how to do it well.Originally released in truncated form during the tenure of Alan Douglas in 1990 in a new 1990 remix and contained within an expensive for the time (£45 - Ouch!) box set import from the US, titled "Lifelines" on the Reprise label.For unknown reasons Lifelines missed off "Foxey Lady", although that had previously been included in 1982's double LP set "Jimi Hendrix Concerts" on the CBS label.The number "I Don't Live Today" had also previously been included on both "The Jimi Hendrix Experience" 4CD purple box-set of 2000 and on the 2001 release "Voodoo Child: The Jimi Hendrix Collection" 2CD compilation. "Star Spangled Banner" and "Purple Haze" were both included on 2010's "West Coast Seattle Boy" 4CD/DVD box set using Kramer's original 15th June 1969 mixes.Needless to say there's also been other releases in one form or another of this concert. The Digital Deja label placed 5 tracks on the 1992 release titled "The Jimi Hendrix Gold Collection". The many bootlegs had all used the original mix - almost mono - as created in 1969 by Kramer, when the recording was initially being considered for release as a live album, such as both the Rock Of Ages and Radioactive labels releases.So, this has been remixed using the latest technology - a world away from that of 1969 - by Kramer and mastered by Bernie Grundman - a leader in his field. It's as good as it's going to get and Kramer has seemingly set the listener in the middle, up-front, surrounded by the crowd and the atmosphere is all around with the feel of the audience. It's very cleverly done.The band performance here is fast, tight and full of vibrant energy and it's obvious Hendrix is enjoying himself. His playing is absolutely something else. It's jaw dropping.The US gigs of April-June 1969, were the last concerts featuring the original Experience trio as Noel Redding wasn't altogether happy about Jimi jamming with Billy Cox, who had arrived on 21st April and immediately taken part in recording sessions at the Record Plant over the next few days. Noel subsequently formed Fat Mattress and split in June.Incidentally, that book (as mentioned by a n other) by the EH people that coincides with the release of this CD just might have something to do with the fact that on 27th November 2022, Jimi Hendrix would have been 80 years old.
