Jimi Hendrix

Jimi making the kids in Berkeley pay with their minds, with Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell in support. There are radical versions of favorites, tracks that used to only exist in unbearably bad bootleg incarnations, and one violent, brain-melting lead guitar burst after another. He kind of sounds like he hates everything.

The Cox-Mitchell band at its most documentable ("Hey Baby [New Rising Sun]," "I Don't Live Today"). (Grade - ***)
