Jimi Hendrix - Jimi Plays Monterey (1986) (1989)
This is by far my favorite live Jimi performance--- far better than Woodstock. Every Hendrix fan deserves to own this one-- get it used if you must, and pay whatever you need to--just GET it!!!! It is simply THAT good!
Yes, this is the concert where he sacrificed his guitar by burning it. Everyone knows the famous picture with the flames rising from the guitar with Jimi sitting by (and you can hear the actual guitar buring on this CD.) Funny thing is, that is actually probably the LOWLIGHT of the this CD--- because the rest of the music is SO spectacular! Even though Jimi was not yet well-known in the States-- a few years from "legend" status (heck, Purple Haze hadn't even been released yet!) he is on the very tip-top of his game on every track-- and Noel and Mitch are tight, and show why they are one of the most undeservedly underappreciated rhythm sections in rock. This is before his "psychedelic" phase-- what I call his "noise" phase--- and the songs here are actually well-crafted and executed SONGS. It is abolutely MUSIC, not screetching noise. It's sort of like Picasso, who had to learn to paint in the conventional way before inventing cubism. Here we see Hendrix playing spectacular rock/blues-- with a few signs of the psychedelic "Star-Spangled Banners" that were to come. Jimi talks to the crowd between some of the songs, making jokes and telling stories about how The Experience came together. This is an added bonus, and you can tell by this little banter that Jimi was actually also a genuinely nice and funny guy-- besides being a guitar god. But, when all is said and done, the music is what will stand the test of time...Gregory Bravo
