I just listened to an old CD called the Cry Of Love from Hendrix.

Really originally written guitar parts.

I would have loved to hear what he would have done if he lived through the 80's.

That´s what I thought when I saw Jeff Beck a few weeks ago.
What would a genius like Jimi been doing if he had lived today ?
As I see it, he never got a fitting band to explore his full potential,
we just got to see hints of it..
So sad that he had to go so soon...

The other day I found some songs from the 12/31-1970 Band of Gypsys concert on YouTube. (I have both the vinyl and the cd, but didn't know it was filmed.)
Macine Gun and Who Knows are some of my alltime "Evergreens".

And of course Wax S and FLU_LIQ too.

That second set of the concert is pure gold!
They played two sets, and Billy Graham told Jimi after the first,
that he he could play better if he concentrated on the playing, rather than doing all the showmanship.
Jimi got mad, but he does play so much better in the second set.
I have both.

Yes zangsta - pure gold!

Arela, a few years ago, the whole Band of Gypsies-show was sent on TV, with interviews of Billy Cox and Buddy Miles.
They cut up the show with the talk, which I hate, it would have been so much better to start or end with stuff like that and have the concert in one piece.
Still, it was a great moment to see it. I had no video at the time, and have not seen it around since then.

and Buddy Miles died 28. feb this year - RIP

Or maybe he would have had any amount of Amps he wanted with any number or make of Electric Guitars And of course his own Studio.This seems a bit more likely.

Yeah, his own studio with dynatube and xite and a Strat

Electric Lady Studios, at 52 West 8th Street, in New York City's Greenwich Village, is a recording studio originally built by Jimi Hendrix and designed by John Storyk in 1970. Hendrix was the first major music artist to own his own recording studio.

zangsta, I remember you being a zappa fan as well, so I hope you don't mind setting you straight... I don't know if zappa was the first, but he had his studio already early in the sixties.

Thanks, I had no idea, one way or the other.
Just got that of Wikipedia.
I of course knew about Jimi´s studio, and did a fast search , to see if I could find a picture or two,
showing the murals painted there. but no luck, so I went for the wikipedia-info,

there are pictures on the official electric lady studio site. click somewhere on a flower where it says 'studio A Live'...
