Music reviews of Jimi Hendrix : Live at Woodstock
Music Review: classic
Rating: 5 Stars
It was not what was in the water or in the air or what happened at Yasger's that weekend. It was what was in Jimi Hendrix in 1969 that makes this a classic concert.
Beleive it or not, the master himself was not quite sure. He knew he was a musician and not a showman, and he thus broke up his Experiance in late 1968.
He was going back to straight blues, but he was talking about working with Miles Davis. He was jamming with John Mcglaughlan. He was jamming with Larry Young. He was jamming with Traffic. Basically, working with as many master musicians he could find, soaking up context and ideas.
This is where Hendrix was the morning of that concert. His large, loose ensamble, Electric Sky Church, jammed with him on straight blues tracks like "Hear My Train 'A Commin,' and "Red House,"
But they were also cuttiing, and cutting hard and heavy, a path to the future. Listen to the angular time cuts of "Back At The House--Beginnings" where Hendrix weaves a complex rhythm pattern far more complicated than anything on the Experiance albums.
It is funk and blues and jazz. And if it sounds like a patch work, so what! How often does a genius open his sketchbook and let you look. Hendrix is working out the new music in front of a mass audiance, and that takes guts. Who knows where he would have taken these ideas. To Miles, George Clinton? Who can say?
But either way, the show sounds great. If we never got to really hear those Beginnings finished, at least we have the Beginnings themselves.

Title: LIVE AT WOODSTOCK
Street Release Date: 07/06/1999
Genre: ROCK/POP
You want guitar precision, listen to Jim Hall. You want perfect pitch, listen to Ella Fitzgerald. You want raw, electrifying, frightful, unruly, mesmerizing, aggressive, urgent, and occasionally brilliant gutbuckets of sound, listen to Jimi Hendrix's Monday morning Woodstock finale. Most of the masses had gone home, Jimi was nervous, his band unrehearsed, and the sound was as muddy as the grounds, but so what? In August of 1969, Hendrix's band, which he dubbed Gypsy Sun and Rainbows for this performance, was in a period of transition between the heavy psychedelic bluesy Experience and the more soulful, rhythmically dynamic Band of Gypsys. The two percussionists and a rhythm guitarist who augment Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell and Gypsy bassist Billy Cox are either mixed out by the engineer or drowned out by Hendrix's ferocious attack. Throughout the intense performance, finally restored here in sequential order and (almost, save for two Larry Lee vocals) in its entirety, Hendrix seems to touch on every musical style--from jazz to blues to funk to soul to metal, and even a few (fusion, punk) that weren't christened yet. There are crisper Hendrix shows out there, but none more explosive or more historic. --Marc Greilsamer
