      1969,
      and
     
     
      January
      1,
      1970.
     
    

    
     
      Before
      they
      formed,
     
     
      the
      Jimi
      Hendrix
      Experience
     
     
      was
      in
      a
      bit
      of
      turmoil.
      Jimi
     
     
      and
      bassist
      Noel
      Redding
      had
     
     
      widening
      differences,
      and
     
     
      Jimi
      was
      under
      a
      lot
      of
      stress.
     
     
      That
      original
      group,
      formed
     
     
      in
      London,
      dissolved
      forever.
     
     
      Jimi
      had
      signed
      a
      very
      bad
     
     
      contract
      for
      a
      dollar
      back
      in
     
     
      ’65,
      I
      think
      it
      was,
      and
      was
     
     
      under
      pressure
      to
      put
      out
      an
     
     
      album
      for
      Columbia,
      |
      be-
     
     
      lieve
      (his
      label
      was
      Warner).
     
     
      He
      needed
      some
      new
      mate-
     
     
      rial
      for
      them,
      and
      needed
      it
     
     
      fast.
      Jimi
      had
      been
      jamming
     
     
      for
      a
      while
      with
      drummer
     
     
      Buddy
      Miles
      (Electric
      Flag,
     
     
      Wilson
      Pickett),
      and
      bassist/
     
     
      army
      buddy
      Billy
      Cox.
      Miles
     
    
   
   
    
     
      off
      his
      back.
      It
      was
      the
      quick-
     
     
      est
      way
      to
      fill
      Jimi’s
      obliga-
     
     
      tion.
      They
      called
      themselves
     
     
      “Band
      of
      Gypsys.”
      The
      con-
     
     
      certs
      are
      documented
      on
     
     
      video,
      the
      original
      release,
     
     
      Band
      of
      Gypsys,
      and
      this
      new
     
     
      collection
      of
      live
      tracks.
     
    

    
     
      Is
      this
      the
      best
      stuff
     
     
      Hendrix
      has
      ever
      done?
      Per-
     
     
      haps.
      That’s
      saying
      a
      lot.
      It’s
     
     
      vastly
      different
      from
      his
     
     
      work
      with
      the
      Experience.
     
     
      Jimi
      concentrated
      less
      on
      the
     
     
      theatrics,
      and
      a
      bit
      more
      on
     
     
      the
      playing.
      Budd
      Miles
     
     
      took
      over
      as
      “timekeeper,”
     
     
      allowing
      Cox
      and
      Hendrix
      to
     
     
      play
      together
      and
      do
      plenty
     
     
      of
      improv/exploration.
     
     
      Where
      Miles
      _
      lacked
     
     
      Mitchell’s
      explosive
      fits
      of
     
     
      drum
      fills,
      he
      more
      than
     
     
      made
      up
      with
      his
      soul
      sing-
     
     
      ing,
      and
      seriosly
      heavy
     
     
      grooves.
      Mitchell
      once
      com-
     
     
      mented
      on
      Miles’
      heavy
     
    
   
   
    
     
      his
      audience,
      and
      get
      more

      well
      as
      other

      to
      come

      the
     
     
      shows
      and
      buy
      the
      music.
     
     
      The
      Band
      of
      Gypsys
      were
      an
     
     
      incredible

      when
      I
      first

      to
      it.
      All
      through
      the
      first
      two
     
     
      songs,
      “Stone
      Free”,
      and
     
     
      “Power
      of
      Soul”,
      I
      found
     
     
      myself
      sitting
      on
      the
      edge
      of
     
     
      my
      bed
