Title: the stages of jimi
Product review: Prior to hearing these recordings, I had thought Jimi Hendrix to be a blitzed out Star Child who drowned in his own BS. These concerts reveal a Hendrix who was a coherent, consummate professional, aware at all times of his sidemen and the crowd, and possessed of a great sense of humor.Stockholm and Paris are in Mono. Paris is the only concert where sound quality is a concern: though not a bootleg, it's raw, and the engineers engaged in gain riding, so the volume is inconsistent. The producer should have corrected the gain riding when this tape was remastered. Hendrix really let it rip in the Paris concert.You can frequently find a Like New copy of "Stages" at a reasonable price. Is it essential? If you want to complete your sound document of Jimi Hendrix, it is.
