    The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Live at Winterland

    a3559833e7a0d41d7a181110.L.jpg

    After listening to "Are You Experienced", I still needed more Hendrix. As good as the studio albums are...Live Jimi Hendrix is the next level. The stage brought out a level of intensity that had to be "experienced". This album is one of many Live Hendrix albums that are out there. "Band of Gypsys", "Jimi Plays Monterey" and "Radio One" are all excellent, but Winterland is their equal IMO, but is not as prevalent as the others when his performances are talked about. That's too bad...as this a performance worth listening to.

    Absolutely. I have all the nights he played Winterland on bootleg and live Hendrix is on another level.

    Winterland (atleast on the Ryko label) has been out of print for years as it's Alan Douglas era stuff. Much of what Alan Douglas did with Hendrix's back catalog was/is questionable, but this does stand out as one of the better efforts. Of course all the Alan Douglas stuff has been OOP since Experience Hendrix took over the reigns, which is a good thing, IMO. But, then gems like this slip through the cracks. This cd was among the first cd's I bought back around 1986-87.

    This is one of the Rykodisc CDs. I purchased this in the late 80s early 90s. When I was looking for a photo to link, I was suprised to find how much this CD was selling for used ($40±). Mine is a near mint copy...it's not for sale...but it's good to know at least a few things I own are worth more now than when I bought them (unlike my 401K :rolleyes:).

    The Radio One title also on Ryko goes for even more. I have both titles also in near mint cond. I also have the Jimi Hendrix Concerts cd and you can see what it goes for here if new.

    Another is called Essential Hendrix on Reprise (another Alan Douglas era cd)

    Sadly at one point I had both of the former on LP at one time before cd's were even around.

    OOP Hendrix cd's can have some value to the right person

    Right now, a local group called Symphonic Haze. Sadly, they produced one album then broke up. I'm friends with two brothers from the band and they are still producing music, but nothing recorded yet.

    Time to down another Third Eye Pale Ale!

    Eagles - Long Road Out Of Eden

    Deluxe Edition 2 disc CD - Universal Distribution



    51IuBc%2B5WdL._SL500_AA240_.jpg

    I happen to be a huge Eagles fan and have followed them since I purchased their first album in 1972. I went out and bought this album on the first day it was released...so you sould be able to guess that I like this album. ;)

    However, regardless of my opinion of the music itself...the SQ of this recording is stellar. In fact between this album and "Hell Freezes Over" the Eagles have set the standard for the way redbook CDs should be recorded IMO.

    BTW the songs with Joe Walsh as vocal lead are awesome!

    Good stuff there Bro. My experience with vinyl transfers to CD, and I have quite a few mainly from Keiko, is that they sound soooooo open and airy with that vinyl warmth. I would like to get into doing the transfers but every time I play a record it convinces me that I'd be wasting my time because the vinyl sounds so good.
