The Jimi Hendrix/Billy Cox/Buddy Miles Band of Gypsys Fillmore East concerts have just been released again and if somebody had put out this music in this way decades ago, they would have saved me a lot of money.

Every time I've come across some recording of this band, I've bought it. But finally we have the complete recordings of this two-night run from New Year's Eve 1969 and New Year's Day 1970.

Some of these performances I thought I had listened to so many times that they couldn't possibly reveal anything new to me but here we are, listening to songs I've heard hundreds of times before and they sound new.

Of all the recent Hendrix releases, this is absolutely one of the greatest and most important and it sounds fantastic.

Will I keep all the other versions of this material that I've been buying for the last thirty years or so? Of course. But I don't expect ever to listen to them again.

This is it. A spectacular release of some incredibly powerful music and some of Jimi's greatest guitar playing.
