Now that was a strange album, South Saturn Delta.
Jimi having tea with his black strat, some of my favorite Hendrix pics.
I read how his last GF got the black strat that he so loved. In the case, complete with the curly guitar cord... And then there was the burned guitar that a roadie gave FZ.
Cool beans.
PS.
Have ya ever heard the out-take of just the rhythm part that Jimi plays on Have You Ever Been To Electric Ladyland? A rare cd titled Loose Ends has it. Fascinating to hear what he's playing, obviously listening to other parts through headphones.

What's all of this say? What's Jimmy's ultimate statement?

I can remember listening to a bootleg of Jimi's complete session at Woodstock, maybe twenty five years ago. Incredible stuff. I had no word that there is a movie out, that is too cool. I'm on it like stink...

Jimi's ultimate statement is left up to whoever may be listening. The audience will always interpret art however they see fit, regardless of how clear it may be. It's a wonderful, terrible thing. ;)
More non Woodstock,
Probably my all time favourite live performance is Machine Gun from Band of Gypsys. No theatrics, just stands there putting everything into it...

I do love that instrumental electric ladyland track, if it's the one I'm thinking of.

Another thing on all this, Pilgrims is that Hudon has told me he will be out this Spring to conduct the first Karaoke Ascent of El Cap--- apparently one of the last feathers to grab in the Valley. It' all hush-hush though.

Has anyone heard the recordings he did at home? They're floating around somewhere on the internet...
It's just him, a tape recorder, and his strat. You can even hear the phone ringing in the background of one track, but he just keeps on playing and singing. Sorta feels like you're just chilling with him in his living room...

I heard him at Woodstock. He was amazing. Some people may have left already - it was pretty soggy. But there were still a lot of people.
I also got to see him at a smallish venue in Hartford, Ct called the Bushnell. Also an amazing concert.

Beginnings
from the posthumously released album Midnight Lightning... recorded in late 1969/early 1970 at Electric Lady Studio, with tracks added in 1975
Electric Ladyland
some of Jimi playing around in the studio... this is sublime
Angel
also working out the song... about his mother
Drifting
from some radio program... with one version being played around with in the background track...
Send My Love to Linda
not sure this every got released... in any version... would have been interesting to see what he would have made out of it.
Third Stone from the Sun
the process of making the song... they were having a lot of fun!
Valleys of Neptune
another cut which I think parts are used in the recently released album...

A prodigy that forged his own course, saw the young man perform in the 60's as a high school kid in LA oblivious at the time to the magnitude of it all. The time, place and people now seems monumental while then just another piece of a contemporary experience. It amazes me to this day.

A truly talented person. Sad he left us so early along with others of the era; they had so much in them.

Here is some trivia. Jimi's percussionist Juma Santos played on Miles Davis' Bitches Brew sessions right after Woodstock.
As amazing as Jimi was he never recorded with musicians who were up to his caliber. It would have been awesome to hear people like Tony Williams backing him up and pushing him . I don't think we ever fully heard what Jimi was capable of.
