Live At Woodstock by Jimi Hendrix (CD, Jul-1999, 2 Discs, MCA Records USA)

I bought this for a Christmas gift. It came packaged very nicely and arrived in plenty of time for Christmas. I would buy from this seller again.

Most people that know anything about Jimi Hendrix know that he stole the show at Woodstock, and rightfully so. This is his most amazing performance. "Fire" is a great, fun song as is "Izabella." "Red House" is very heartfelt and is often imitated, never duplicated by many, many bands. A classic! "Voodoo Child" is another great song and just like "Purple Haze" is one of his catchiest tunes. "The Star Spangled Banner" is Jimi's heavily-distorted, ultra-cool rendition of the American national anthem. One of the most famous things he ever did. "Woodstock Improvisation" cannot be fully expressed by words. It is a great instumental track that has to be heard to be appreciated. Everything about this cd is great, but I have to say that the video is better. You get to see the man in action, including the emotion he plays with on "Red House." The reactions from the crowd are nice, too. This is an outstanding album of an outstanding performance and you should definitely buy it now. You will not be disappointed.

Jimi Hendrix was the headliner of the Woodstock show. Why?, because he was the hottest act in the country in 1969. He commanded a whopping $32,000 for his Woodstock performance and demanded no acts were to follow his set. This recording takes you back to the show with all the blistering guitar and witty comentary from Jimi himself. A must have for any fan.
