Full title - Blue Wild Angel/Live At The Isle Of Wight. This special limited edition double-disc marks the first complete release of Hendrix's headlining set at the Isle Of Wight Festival in 1970, his last major public appearance. It's a recording that reveals a guitar legend in good humor, yet restlessly exploring the broader musical directions he'd just laid down on sessions for what would become 'First Rays of the New Rising Sun' (initially released posthumously as 'Freedom'). Backed by Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell & Band of Gypsies bassist Billy Cox, Hendrix ranges from the improvisatory cacophony of 'Machine Gun' & reworkings of his standard blues workouts 'Red House' & 'Hey Joe' to renditions of 'Dolly Dagger', 'Ezy Rider', 'Freedom', & 'Hey Baby' that trade on the more rhythmic R&B & jazz influences he'd diligently worked into his music.
In 1970, Jimi Hendrix returned to the country where he'd skyrocketed to fame and gave his first performances in almost two years when he headlined the Isle of Wight festival. Sadly, it was also to be his last major public appearance: less than three weeks later, he would be dead. Compiled from that performance (also available in its entirety as a limited-edition double disc), these recordings reveal a guitar legend in good humor, yet restlessly exploring the broader musical directions he'd just laid down on sessions for what would become First Rays of the New Rising Sun (initially released posthumously as The Cry of Love). Backed by Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell and Band of Gypsys bassist Billy Cox, Hendrix ranges from the improvisatory cacophony of "Machine Gun" and a retooling of his standard blues workout "Red House" to renditions of "Dolly Dagger," "Freedom," and "Hey Baby" that trade on the more rhythmic R&B and jazz influences he'd diligently worked into his music. At times jagged, and straining the limitations of the trio format (Hendrix had publicly mused about working with a big band shortly before his death), it's nonetheless a passionate, intriguing clue as to Hendrix's true ambitions and potential beyond his initial hype and stardom...Terry McCulley
