    I'll pass, just more rehashed trash from the greedy sister. Just my opinion,nothing more.

    Yup. Experienced, Axis, and Ladyland. You got those three, you've got IT.

    I'd add Band of Gypsies to that, but otherwise...

    I actually wore out my 8 track copy of Rainbow Bridge playing it so much. I think I heard a cut off of it on last week's episode of Hawaii Five O,lol.

    Actually my favorite Hendrix album is Crash Landing. If you have never heard it you owe it to yourself to do so.

    Wasn't "Crash Landing" essentially what they're talking about using here? The guys are right, Experienced, Axis and Electric Ladyland, together with the side of Band of Gypsies with Machine Gun, and you've pretty much got Hendrix. If you want compilations, Smash Hits, Blues, and The Essential Jimi Hendrix Vols. I & II are really good. The purple velvet box set they put out in the early 90's has some other rare stuff, like a smokng live version of Hey Baby that was from the Maui concert they filmed and recorded for Rainbow Bridge before the suits decided otherwise. Just not convinced by this "Experience Hendrix L.L.C." There's some nuggets in there sometimes but a lot of chaff.

    Mrbigbluelight: I'm going off memory here, but wasn't the Hey Baby that's on Rainbow Bridge the one from the Berkeley concert they made into Jimi Plays Berkeley? If you love that song, you should hear the live version from Maui that's on the purple velvet box set from around '92 or so, which I don't think ever came out publicly until that boxed set was released. I think the studio version was on Crash Landing, maybe rromeo923 can confirm that, also a very good version. I'm with you, the live version(s) is a direct circuit... He played it alot in concert apparently. Some good ones from Europe as well, seem to remember a smoker from Sweden, the whole show was super IIRC. I'll have to look and see if I can find it.

    Rainbow Bridge was recorded in Maui, IIRC.

    Edit: Looks like the concert was recorded in Maui, but the songs from Rainbow Bridge the album didnt necessarily come from the Maui concert. Hendrix's catalog is such a cluster...

    I think what happened was they planned to use the Maui concert for Rainbow Bridge. But then the executives decided to use other stuff, so the Maui concert was shelved pretty much in the end, but I'm going on memory. I think they used the live versin of Hey Baby from the Berkeley concert for Rainbow Bridge, but I'll have to check. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the Maui Hey Baby was never released until the 90's velvet purple box set. What a shame the suits didn't just leave well enough alone and use the Maui soundtrack for Rainbow Bridge, as Hendrix planned it, because it was a hot show, as the Maui Hey Baby demonstrates, not that the Rainbow Bridge album is bad though.

    The Rainbow Bridge soundtrack album is the best "Hey Baby" that I've heard. Better than the one on "First Rays...". The reel to reel of Rainbow Bridge sounds very good, they had planned to release (and actually did in very very limited numbers) Rainbow Bridge on CD back in (1990??) but it was quickly squashed (probably by the Hendrix Family) and so only a very small number of CD pressings got out there to the public. If you have one, it's worth A LOT.

    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    There are musicians playing on these albums that Hendrix never even met, let alone played alongside.

    There are hundreds of recordings in the vault that Hendrix deemed not good enough to be put out! After his death these seem to be making it out...listen to the classic stuff, it's the real thing guys!!!

    I freaking love Crash Landing purchased from GG here on the forum.

    I am a purist in some things, but whoever is playing on that album...I really like it.

    I'm pretty sure he did play with some of these folks:

    The King Casuals (a.k.a. The Casuals)
    W&W Man
    Bobby Taylor & The Vancouvers
    Slim Harpo
    Tommy Tucker (who wrote "High Heeled Sneekers")
    The Imperieals
    Cala Lewis
    Ironing Board Sam
    Nappy Brown
    Bob Fisher and the Barnesvilles (met Larry Lee)
    The Marvelettes (who supported The Impressions with Curtis Mayfield)
    Lonnie Youngblood
    The Isley Brothers
    Gorgeous George Odell (on tour with B.B. King, Sam Cooke & Jackie Wilson)
    The Valentinos (with Harry and Bobby Womack)
    Little Richard
    Buddy & Stacey
    Ike and Tina Turner
    The Drifters
    Curtis Knight and the Squires
    Joey Dee and The Starlighters
    The King Curtis Band
    Percy Sledge
    Wilson Picket
    Carl Holmes and the Commanders

    I bought a cassette tape around 1984 that was advertised as unheard Hendrix. It was just a compilation of various songs where he played guitar for the band. I remember one was a song, "wipe the sweat off my back". but you could definitely pick Hendrix's guitar out when he played. It's such a shame he died. The cassette tape sucked really, but it was very interesting. I also bought an import record once of the Beatles and was disappointed to see it was some recording of their very early years before they were a pop band. I gave the record to my friend's dad. I wish I had it back now.

    Damn shame most of those people aren't on the albums in question. Might be worth buying if they were.

    The "Hey Baby" on the vinyl Rainbow Bridge I had from 1971 (72?) was a studio version that, IMO, kicked butt, took names, and then kicked butt again.
    I also love the "Hey Baby" from the Berkley concert. Wasn't there, but can sit back and imagine what it would have been like just from listening. Really tight, and you can tell, IMO, that Jimi was on that night.

    I've heard a version from Maui that I didn't care for as much. I'm going off memory, too, and can't remember where I've heard it. Heck, it might have been off a video on YouTube which would account for my memory of it as being ... "sloppy" ? Not Jimi "loose", but ... "sloppy" ?
    All I'm sure of is that the vinyl version off of RB just hit the "Bzzzzzt ... That's It !" button for me at the time. That verdict could change with a better quality recording to be sure.
