Jimi Hendrix-Band Of Gypsys (1970)

Recorded on the first day of January 1970, in Fillmore East, New York, this masterful direct of Jimi Hendrix does not have his usual band, the Experience, but is accompanied by Billy Cox on bass and Buddy Miles on drums.
Hendrix wanted to experience new sensations and expand his creativity, so he decided to try his luck with different musicians and published one of his most incendiary live records in the entire history of rock.
Considered by many to be the beginning of the funk movement, Hendrix effectively experiments with this type of music mixing it with blues, rhythm and blues and rock, in a repertoire of new songs that find on stage the best place to be expressed.
For posterity, "Machine Gun's" epic and anthological guitar solo remains, considered the best Hendrix ever did and one of the greatest played on the six-string instrument.
The subsequent posthumous editions in which some of the songs performed here appear show that they always sounded much better live than the originals in studio.
