<p>Out of several live Hendrix albums, The Jimi Hendrix Concerts stands as one of the very best. Taken from shows at Winterland, The Royal Albert Hall, and from various venues in New York, Berkeley, and San Diego, the set includes hits like "Fire," "Voodoo Chile," and "Hey Joe," as well as fine blues like "Red House," "Bleeding Heart," and "Hear My Train a Comin'." Highlights include a definitive version of "Little Wing" and one of the most assured and driving versions of "Voodoo Chile" (these and four other stellar tracks come from what must have been an amazing concert at Winterland in the fall of '68). Another standout is "I Don't Live Today," which features a fine mix of jazz-inspired soloing and various feedback and distortion "tricks" (tricks that figure into Hendrix's way of "playing with the electronics," and which make up one of the more innovative aspects of his guitar playing). Hendrix gets adept and sympathetic support throughout from bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell (Band of Gypsies' bassist Billy Cox replaces Redding on "Red House" and "Hey Joe"). With top-notch performances, consistently inspired solos, and excellent sound, this is probably the best introduction to Hendrix's live recordings.</p><p>—<strong>Stephen Cook</strong></p><hr/><p><strong>01 - Fire</strong> - recorded at the Winterland Arena, San Francisco, California, USA on October 12, 1968 (1st show)</p><p><strong>02 - I Don't Live Today</strong> - recorded at San Diego Sports Arena, San Diego, California, USA on May 24, 1969</p><p><strong>03 - Red House</strong> - recorded at New York Pop, Downing Stadium, Randall's Island, New York, USA on July 17, 1970</p><p><strong>04 - Stone Free</strong> - recorded at the Royal Albert Hall, London, England on February 24, 1969</p><p><strong>05 - Are You Experienced?</strong> - recorded at the Winterland Arena, San Francisco, California, USA on October 10, 1968 (1st show)</p><p><strong>06 - Little Wing</strong> - recorded at the Winterland Arena, San Francisco, California, USA on October 12, 1968 (2nd show)</p><p><strong>07 - Voodoo Chile</strong> - recorded at the Winterland Arena, San Francisco, California, USA on October 10, 1968 (1st show)</p><p><strong>08 - Bleeding Heart</strong> - recorded at the Royal Albert Hall, London, England on February 24, 1969</p><p><strong>09 - Hey Joe</strong> - recorded at Berkeley Community Theatre, Berkeley, California, USA on May 30, 1970 (2nd show)</p><p><strong>10 - Wild Thing</strong> - recorded at the Winterland Arena, San Francisco, California, USA on October 12, 1968 (1st show)</p><p><strong>11 - Hear My Train A Comin'</strong> - recorded at the Winterland Arena, San Francisco, California, USA on October 10, 1968 (2nd show)</p><p><strong>12 - Foxey Lady</strong> - recorded at The Forum, Los Angeles, California, USA on April 26, 1969</p>
