best is Hendrix at Woodstock, Hendrix at the Royal Albert Hall 2/24/69, Hendrix at the Fillmore East. Maybe Zeppelin at the Royal Albert Hall. All of the band of gypsys performances are insane
wow holy ****balls insane indeed. Room full of mirrors and machine gun are new to me. machine gun is nuts good. some unbeatable **** there.
Haha dude Machine Gun might be the most legendary live number in rock history. Hendrix played it once in each of 4 Fillmore East shows. That video is the classic performance from the 1st show on January 1st, 1970, featured in the LP "Band of Gypsys". There are two more versions from the Fillmore officially available on "Live at the Fillmore East". You can also find these for free on the widely available bootleg "Box of Gypsys". The 2nd show from Dec 31, 1969 is a sprawling 14min version highlighted by 3+ minutes of godmode unloading at the end. The final version from the 2nd show on Jan 1 has a main solo even more savage than the one I linked above, if that's possible.
I'm glad someone appreciated this, experiencing some of these songs for the first time was seriously a once in a lifetime treat for me.
best "Red House" with a video to match at least. Too good
I only first heard that version of Voodoo Child above a couple months ago, remastered on "the jimi hendrix experience box set". I still can't get over it, I think it's the best playing I've ever heard or seen. The notes are as a missile, pitching and descending and exploding in a screaming blaze of reverb and feedback. Leaves me without words

This will sound a little rough at first to many. I think this is the best soloing anybody has ever done on a guitar, a brilliant display of Hendrixs' technical skill and creative genius with moments of detailed inspiration. Parts of this performance leave an audience of 200,000 holding their breath in a trance, and Hendrix twice turns around to reminds a band member who is slackjawedly staring at him to keep playing. Audience aplauds for over two minutes straight at full volume at the end. I've got the blu ray dvd of woodstock at home and man, just buy it.

Very cool, but I have to point out that only a fraction of the audience stayed to watch this. I think there was only about 20,000 people. He went on really late and right at the end of the festival. Gheys couldn't handle the pace

I heard that's why it was 200k people and not 500k hah. Seems you may be right though; I can't seem to find a source on a #. Jimi went on at 8am so yeah pfff, Homoz
