Title: Less than first rate effort
Review: Band of Gypseys was formed because of 1)a contractual problem Hendrix had and 2)a desire to broaden Hendrix's appeal with the black crowd. This recording has numerous examples of inadvertent tempo changes and playing that's off-key. Buddy Miles ain't no Mitch Mitchell. This is not Hendrix at this best. His best live recording is the album titled, "Hendrix in the West." It's not in CD format. His playing on that album is blistering and a clear measure of how far off the Fillmore East concerts are.
