Jimi Hendrix Experience - The Blues Project Outtakes.
1994 saw the release of the Alan Douglas produced "Blues" album.
This was seen as one of his better efforts during his time managing Jimi's music. A cassette containing three outtakes was sent to a couple of high profile collectors shortly after.
This tape contained Villanova Junction Blues, Hear My train A Comin' and Belly Button Window. For a while this tape was in very limited circulation amongst a few hard core collectors. Later the tracks saw the first light of day on the bootleg "500000 Halos"which was named after line in a poem written by Jimi post Woodstock. However there were more outtakes than those three and more has leaked out over the years (albeit in limited circulation).
I am slightly dubious about the generation of this material but it is nevertheless of extremely high quality. There is a certain amount of tape hiss present here and there but that could just be from the transfer to cassette. The cassette I originally received with the three tracks exhibited slight hiss as well. The tracks on this disc are taken from a set of 11 CDRS titled the Blues Project Outtakes
Notes
Hear My train A Comin' is a composite made by Douglas of two different takes.
New Rising Sun and the 27 minute Band Of Gypsys Villanova jam are not in general circulation as far as I know.
Country Blues was released on the EH Box Set but this version of the straight mix is longer.
1. New Rising Sun (8.26)
2. Country Blues (straight mix) (8.37)
3. Hear My train A Comin' (8.07)
4. Belly Button Window (2.25)
5. The Things That I used To Do (5.45)
6. Villanova Junction Blues Jam (27.34)
7. 3 Little Bears- South Saturn Delta (12.44)

From Chris Dixon's 30th Anniversary Series © C S Dixon
June 5, 1998 marks 30 years since the Experience's appearance on the 'It Must Be Dusty (Springfield)' TV show in the UK. They did just three songs:
Quick and somewhat breathless intro by Dusty and they do 'Stone Free'. Verses show off Mitch's stick-on-rim snare work, a subtlety lost in the big concerts. Jimi prefaces the song with a dedication to Brian Jones (maybe he was there?), then instead of going into the solo with the usual "turn it loose, baby" he interjects "get off my cloud, baby" !!
Next up is a duet with Dusty on 'Mockingbird' though it doesn't sound very rehearsed! Such as it is, still one of the very few vocal 'duets' Jimi ever did with a female vocalist (maybe the Newport 6/69 jam, and are we counting '9 To The Universe' with Devon?) though he used background singers in the studio.
First media performance of Voodoo Child (Slight Return), Apparently aware of TV time constraints, Jimi skips the muted-string-strummed wah intro and goes right to the opening line (turns on wah on second line). Does one verse then a short but intense solo then last verse and another short solo ending in some trademark dental work!

Release Notes:
The long-awaited Deluxe Edition of the 1973 theatrical documentary
Jimi Hendrix is loaded with extras and completely remastered and
remixed to provide exceptional sound and picture quality This is
the biography of Jimi Hendrix, the world famous guitarist who died
much too young. Featuring the guitar wizard on stage and behind
the scenes, classic concert footage is interspersed with
interviews with friends and prominent musicians giving first-hand
recollections, including Pete Townshend, Mick Jagger, Eric
Clapton, Little Richard, Lou Reed, Buddy Miles and more. Includes
songs "Hey Joe," "Rock me baby," "Like a rolling stone," "A Star
Spangled Banner" from Woodstock `69 and many more, from his
beginnings to his Monterey, Woodstock and Isle of Wight
performances.
If any artist deserved a hagiography it was Jimi Hendrix, and Joe
Boyd's 1973 "authorized" tribute adequately sanctifies the legend.
Perversely for a documentary, it achieves this simply through
well-chosen concert footage rather than through the insights of
the various talking heads. Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, Mick
Jagger, Lou Reed, and Germaine Greer are all wheeled out to wax
lyrical about their days with Jimi, but nothing is more eloquent
than watching and listening to him play. From "Hey Joe" in grainy
black and white on the Ready Steady Go TV show, classic footage of
Monterey, Woodstock (yes, "The Star-Spangled Banner"), and the
Isle of Wight festivals to an acoustic 12- string rendition of
"Hear My Train a' Comin'," Hendrix the musician speaks for
himself.
But if Hendrix the musician shines through, this is not the most
insightful profile of Hendrix the man. The circumstances
surrounding his death, for example, are hardly touched upon
(girlfriend at the time Monika Dannemann gets only a few seconds
of screen time). Interview footage with Hendrix himself plus some
occasionally rambling and incoherent comments from such intimates
as his father, army buddies, ex-girlfriends (including Linda
Keith, who "discovered" him in New York and brought him to
England), and fellow musicians all take second place to the music
itself. The most sensible quote comes from Little Richard, who
proves once and for all that he's utterly bonkers when he says of
Jimi's music: "At times he made my big toes shoot up into my

the creative explorations Jimi Hendrix was undertaking throughout
the first half of 1969.
Never intended for release in their present state, this collection
shines further light on his creative development and unending
quest for new musical challenges. The diversity of these
recordings-from solo demos to group efforts with The Experience to
free form jam sessions-make clear Hendrix's sheer love of playing
music and interacting with fellow musicians in any setting
whatsoever.
This insightful 11-song release features "Slow Version," "Ezy
Ryder/Star Spangled Banner," "Jam 292," "Trash Man," "Message To

including a solo electric guitar rendition and a piano solo,
"Blues Jam At Olympic," plus the original unedited versions of
"Drone Blue" and "Jimi/Jimmy Jam" from the long out-of-print 1980
release Nine To The Universe. Hear My Music marks the first time
these recordings have ever been released in their original
unedited format.

"PURPLE HAZE" - THE JIMI HENDRIX STORY
Originally broadcast January 2002
Presented by Gary Moore
01. part 1 (46:55)
02. part 2 (39:13)
Gary Moore tells the story of the greatest guitarist of all time and one of the most influential figures in rock music.
"I put on my Hendrix album and my son said 'Daddy, who's that' and I said 'well son, that's God'"- Robert Plant
The story of Hendrix's life unfolds over two parts, from his troubled boyhood in Seattle, through his days in the army and his early career as a jobbing musician supporting everyone from the Isley Brothers to Little Richard. True fame came when he was discovered by Chas Chandler of The Animals in a Greenwich Village café - Chandler offered to manage him, took him to swinging London and formed the Experience with Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell.
The release of Are You Experienced in 1967 announced the arrival of a major new talent, taking the British rock world by storm and setting new standards in guitar playing. Over the next four years Hendrix would revolutionise music, release a trio of groundbreaking studio albums and perform some of the most (often literally) incendiary live shows in the history of rock. There can be no better elegy for the war torn, drugged up, crazy sixties than Jimi's Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock.
When Jimi Hendrix died in London on September 18th, 1970, he left behind a legacy of music which still influences musicians to this day. It's worth remembering that everything on which Hendrix's reputation rests was recorded in just three years. The flood of albums released posthumously are testament to his prolific talent.
The programme features archive interviews with Jimi himself, and we also hear from Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Mitch Mitchell, Noel Redding, Chas Chandler, Brian May, Robert Wyatt and Jimi's longstanding girlfriend, Kathy Etchingham.

Biography of rock star Jimi Hendrix chronicles his early career, including a stint with Little Richard who fired him for getting too flamboyant, to his tragic failure. Struggling to find a niche, he moves to England where he becomes friends with musician and producer Chas Chandler (Christian Portenza). Chas then teams him with Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding (Krit Holdenreid, Christopher Ralph) to form the Experience. As Hendrix gets public attention, Chas then introduces him to a major record producer (Billy Zane) who takes over his career. While this gets Hendrix international exposure, it also places him in the hands of people interested only in the money aspects that his career offers them. One of the early disasters foisted on him by the record company is an opening bill for "The Monkees" on an American tour. His then unknown act is booed by teens just wanting to see their idols. A genius and a perfectionist, Hendrix drives everyone crazy as he starts making albums himself without producers or the Experience. Pushed by the record executives beyond his limits, he turns to drugs and wild parties for release which ultimately leads to his demise.

Jimi Hendrix was an exceptional musician and songwriter, certainly one of the most outstanding artists of the twentieth century. The interpretation of him as simply a great or greatest guitarist has in a way overshadowed the sheer beauty of his music.
It is true that he transformed the whole approach to electric guitar playing with his audacious fusion of Chicago blues, R&B, rock and roll, free jazz, you name it. In his wake came to the fore Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Peter Green, Niel Young, Johnny Winter, Billy Gibbons and Frank Zappa (to name but a few personal favourites). His success also launched a thousand imitaters, such as Robin Trower, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Frank Marino. It has even been evoked that Jimi (and Cream) must take the blame for inspiring hoards of turgid heavy metal bands and a plethora of fast fingered fools who though it was just about speed across the fret board. Forget the guitar, Hendrix's real peers were the likes of John Coltrane, Chuck Berry, John Lee Hooker, James Brown, Prince, Muddy Waters, Marvin Gaye, Miles Davis…
He had an enormous influence on musicians in many fields, not only in rock and blues circles. Miles Davis felt compelled to abandon traditionnal "Jazz" structures, even putting a wah-wah pedal on his trumpet, to get the "Hendrix sound" into his music. Soul artists such as The Temptations, Curtis Mayfield and subsequent Oscar winner Isaac Hayes, soon featured funky Hendrix style "wakka wakka" or fuzzy guitars in their arrangements. Black artists adopted Jimi's look, from Sly Stone to Little Richard. In 1970, a young Michael Jackson and his brothers, and later Earth Wind & Fire, took the stage sporting psychedelic costumes and afros, looking like Hendrix clones. Back in 1967, even Clapton had an afro perm, making him look like a white Hendrix fronting Cream !
The fact that he acheived so much in a short time, with such influence, is amazing. There again, what he did get down is frustratingly short of the real measure of his talents. His blossoming as a songwriter in 1967 and 1968 had established him as a major international artist. His three classic albums as The Jimi Hendrix Experience had perfectly suited and even defined their epoch. Two unbeleivable years of creativity and fun, like one long party, which couldn't have lasted forever.
The whole psychedelic "thing" had burned itself out by the end of 1968. The Beatles looked for a fresh start with the blank sheet of "The White Album", The Rolling Stones wisely came back to their first love of blues-rock, Pete Townsend wrote his legendary rock opera "Tommy". For Jimi, the psychedelic "wild man" personna was by then old hat. The dream was over (to paraphrase John Lennon). He had to move on.
Relations within the band began to deteriorate also. The relentless crafting of his masterpiece "Electric Ladyland" in 1968, amidst a hoard of partying hangers-on, drove Chas Chandler away and further alienated Noel Redding. On the last Experience tours of Europe and America in 1969, Jimi had tired of putting on a physical show, adopting a static, more serious approach on stage, concentrating fully on his playing. He lost patience with fans who came to see the "Wild Man", demanding just the hits. He felt trapped in his own image and rather pompously wished that audiences would sit and pay attention as though they were in church ! His "Electric Church" as he called it, to convey his desire to touch people's very souls.
To top it all, in May 1969, while in Toronto, hard drugs were found in his luggage and consequently he faced severe penalties. This troubled him and certainly sobered his mood in general (he was however cleared of all charges in 1970 ).
Finally, the heavy demands of his management and record companies led him to reclusion in his homeland in mid 1969 after Noel and eventually Mitch quit to continue with their own projects. The band had been touring solidly for two and half years, so it is fair to say that they needed a break aswell. After the wild escapade to London and around the world, Jimi was back home and now felt more comfortable with his original bass partner Billy Cox by his side again, just like in the old days (they had spent years touring the States in the early sixties). Through 1969, now without Chas Chandler's keen ear and music business know-how, Jimi was seen to be losing focus on his work, spending months on songs (instead of the few days or hours in which he put things down in 1967). The two new groups he formed with Cox, called Gypsy Son and Rainbows and Band Of Gypsys, soon fell apart through lack of conviction, error of judgement.
A tour was on the cards in September 1969, but Jimi declared that he didn't feel up to the challenge and cancelled it, obliging him to pay the organizers a large compensatory sum. So in the studio, he worked on at his own pace (to hell with them) and this period was perhaps seen unfairly as a creative block, though it was only six months, and he did return with a radically different sound.
He had given himself a hard act to follow. After the intoxicating euphoria of swinging '67 and '68, his songwriting may have lost some of its biting originality but then he had perhaps said it all in terms of psychedelic rock. He came back to a more earthy R&B feel in his work, with more social awareness in his lyrics, while aspiring to move on towards the liberties of jazz-rock, a field that would have suited his phenomenal talents of improvisation. His new music looked forward into the new decade. It was soulful, funky and richly arranged. Modern.
Another project he had in mind was a "Tommy"-like concept album with the working title of "Black Gold". He had ideas to expand the theme to poetry, an animated film, and an illustrated book. A cassette of musical ideas was unfortunately stolen from his appartment after his death and has never resurfaced, not even unofficially to my knowledge (the bootleg with that title is merely a collection of rarities and outtakes).
In 1970 he began to get his act together. He was recording at a quicker pace as he got to grips with the next phase of his music. On stage, with Mitch Mitchell again in the drum seat and Billy Cox on solid bass, even though some of his new music didn't really fit the three piece format, he was back playing great power trio rock 'n' roll and blues across America, sometimes even reviving some of his old stage antics. However, by the time The Cry Of Love Tour reached Europe at the end of summer 1970, it seemed like he had had enough, putting on disappointing shows at each date. Billy Cox then became ill and the tour was mercifully grounded.
Everyone wanted a piece of Jimi: PPX Entrerprises (demanding another settlement album), The Black Panthers (pressuring him to do more for the black cause), the hangers-on, the drug pushers. His sanctuary was to be his own state-of-the-art Electric Lady Studios in New York (which still operates to this day - see Links) but sadly he didn't live long enough to fully appreciate it. Friends remarked how tired and confused JImi appeared, whereas others found him enthusiastic about new projects (Electric Lady, "Black Gold", colaborations ahead with Gil Evans or Roland Kirk, his plans to expand the group, his upcoming new album nearing completion, ...). Whatever his mental state on that fateful eve of September 18 at The Samarkand Hotel, Jimi Hendrix did not comit suicide or take a "drug overdose" (he was never an addict either). Evidence showed that he had taken a few sleeping pills (as he might have often done), then maybe a few more, certainly not enough to show an intention to cop out. He didn't know that those pills, belonging to his German girlfriend, were much stronger than the usual ones. They didn't mix well with the wine he'd had at dinner either. A tragic accident. Or was there foul play afoot ? Interviews with ambulance staff and the doctor who examined Jimi, talk of enourmous quantities of wine ingurgitated while the alcohol level in his blood was low.
Let's remember him as Chas Chandler did, as someone who's life was full of fun. Jimi Hendrix lives. His music remains fresh, exiting, inspiring.
Who am I to judge him. I just hope this site serves its purpose in clarifying the jumble of material that constitutes his musical legacy on record.
I think I had better stop there or I'll never get this thing on-line.

Ben weer de plaat 'First Rays of the New Rising Sun' aan het herontdekken.. wat zit het toch geniaal inelkaar
Flinke lap tekst met info. die ik niet wist:
Dat Miles Davis van zijn jazzstructuren afging nadat hij de muziek van Jimi kende Ik luister graag een stukje Miles.
En dat hij geen OD heeft genomen of dat hij zelfmoord pleegde wist ik. Jammer dat in zo veel bladen als bijv. de Amerikaanse Rolling Stones het tegendeel wordt gezegd: wel een OD (overdosis).

Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Plays Berkeley
(Experience Hendrix)
Jimi Hendrix played two shows at Berkeley on 30 May 1970, which have long been both legendary and unreleased. Some legendary recordings maintain their fascination only by being unavailable. In this case the recordings have been oft-heard in remarkable quality on bootlegs, and the few officially released individual tracks (including ''Johnny B Goode'', and the Rainbow Bridge LP version of ''Hear My Train a Comin''') have been magnificent.
The weakest point in the set, as so often with gigs from the era, is the start. First tracks were often presented as a warm up lap rather than the pyrotechnic rabble-rouser we expect today. This opener, an early incarnation of ''Straight Ahead'', is too obviously half-built to achieve much momentum. After that, however, there's very little to complain about. ''Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)'' is a strong candidate for the best recorded version, studio included (though it's a shocking change of pace when Jimi reverses it at full tilt into the In The West classic ''Lover Man''). With Billy Cox on bass, songs like ''Stone Free'' and ''Hey Joe'' are short punchy performances, unlike the epic versions the 68-69 Experience would offer. Breathing space is instead given to fresher classics such as ''Machine Gun'' and ''Voodoo Child (Slight Return)''.
The pace of the show is great, with every song is presented complete and in sequence (many live Hendrix releases, particularly before Experience Hendrix took over his estate, have suffered bizarre editing and re-ordering). The sound quality is as good as any live Hendrix, certainly putting the likes of Woodstock and existing Berkeley bootlegs to shame. The DVD release of the (shamefully poor) film of this show comes with a bonus 5.1 surround-sound mix of the whole CD album and is a treat if you have the equipment.
The only disappointment of this release is that only one of the two Berkeley shows has been released. The first set is arguably as strong, and was the source for the prior releases of ''Hear My Train'' and ''Johnny B Goode''. None the less, this is the strongest newly-released Hendrix material in a long time.

Jimi Hendrix
The Dick Cavett Show (DVD)
(MCA)
Accompanied by a 55-minute documentary about the circumstances surrounding these appearances, you may think that a scant three live numbers and brief interview footage barely merit anyone's attention. How wrong could you be? Sure, this is a post-Woodstock Hendrix in the grip of insecurities and anxieties, but also still ably demonstrating why he was the world's most exciting guitarist who still had a lifetime of great music stretching ahead of him.
Unable to attend Cavett's Woodstock celebrations at the close of the festival in mid-1969, Jimi gracefully re-scheduled his first appearance on US television the following month, and the historic results are recorded here along with a set from later in the year. Performances of new numbers "Machine Gun" and "Hear My Train A Comin'" are politely truncated and sonically subdued but Hendrix still sets flame to fretboard in a way that must have been somewhat alarming to middle America. And that's not to mention the turquoise kimono our hero is sporting! Backed by a new line-up of Mitch Mitchell (drums) assisted by newcomers Billy Cox (bass) and Juma Sultan (percussion) - whom Jimi had christened the Gypsy Sun & Rainbows for the set at Yasgur's Farm - this is Jimi in the very process of trying to shake the flashy pop star tag that had dogged him since his acceptance in his homeland at Monterey in 1967.
Even more revealing is the interview that follows. Gripped by a palpable fatigue due to work pressure (famously bad management at the hands of Mike Jeffries was pushing the goose to lay far too many golden eggs to order) Jimi remains eloquent and sweetly amusing, despite complaining of sleep deprivation. A remarkably hip Cavett (despite appearances) quizzes Hendrix on his stint as a paratrooper and also his reaction to criticism over the famous overhauling of "The Star Spangled Banner" (Hendrix: "I thought it was beautiful"). But the most poignant moment is when Cavett refers to Jimi as: "the worlds greatest guitarist". Modest to a fault Hendrix shifts uncomfortably in his seat insisting Cavett amend the phrase to "the greatest guitarist in this chair".
And that's why people who knew Jimi still remember him as the charmingly unassuming genius whose only desire was to explore life through his music's development. The restless creativity that led to such frustration in the face of his 'wild man of pop' persona would eventually see him grow tired of rock's straightjacket. Thereby hangs the huge question mark. What kind of cosmic funk-jazz would he be making today? We can only be grateful that footage like this exists to remind us that, for a short while, we shared the planet with a such a remarkably gentle man.

Jimi Hendrix
Blue Wild Angel
(MCA)
Hendrix's legacy has not been well represented by his live releases. Hitherto, the most widely available sets, Woodstock and Band of Gypsies, were both recorded with flawed one-off line-ups cobbled together for individual events.
Jimi's August 1970 Isle of Wight show was an eagerly anticipated return to the UK with a well-honed trio offering long-awaited new material to an audience of 600,000 people. Sadly, given such auspicious circumstances, he arrived jet-lagged, studio-lagged, deeply troubled and about as grouchy as any usually-charming-genius can become.
The fact that Hendrix would die within weeks of this festival could be claimed to add to its significance, but adds only poignancy to a performance which is very uneven, lacking the passion and spontaneity which were his trademark. Previously released recordings of this show, in 1971 and 1991, failed through dismal editing and re-sequencing to showcase the best of the material. This new attempt, under the auspices of the Hendrix estate, could hardly fail to improve on its predecessors but equally cannot be expected to turn lead into gold.
On offer are two formats: a limited edition double CD comprising all 120 meandering minutes, and a single CD which omits most of the second half of the set. The highlight of both is the oft-compiled finale ''In From The Storm'' - the only new song which captures the Experience's original intensity. Other 'new' compositions struggle without the glorious polyrhythmic overdubs the studio offered to ''Dolly Dagger'', ''Freedom'' and ''Ezy Ryder''. Unfortunately Hendrix by now felt jaded towards his earlier material - after an unfocussed ''Foxy Lady'' he complains to the audience about the demand for him to play such oldies.
There are still joys here for afficionados (who will buy the double), and the single CD is the most flattering release of the show yet achieved - but if you crave a live 'greatest hits' then wait in hope of a release for the stunning but mysteriously unavailable Berkeley shows from May 1970, or try the Feb 24 1969 Albert Hall show on the 3 CD The Last Experience set recently released by Charly/Snapper.

Hendrix's legacy has not been well represented by his live releases. Hitherto, the most widely available sets, Woodstock and Band of Gypsies, were both recorded with flawed one-off line-ups cobbled together for individual events.
Jimi's August 1970 Isle of Wight show was an eagerly anticipated return to the UK with a well-honed trio offering long-awaited new material to an audience of 600,000 people. Sadly, given such auspicious circumstances, he arrived jet-lagged, studio-lagged, deeply troubled and about as grouchy as any usually-charming-genius can become.
The fact that Hendrix would die within weeks of this festival could be claimed to add to its significance, but adds only poignancy to a performance which is very uneven, lacking the passion and spontaneity which were his trademark. Previously released recordings of this show, in 1971 and 1991, failed through dismal editing and re-sequencing to showcase the best of the material. This new attempt, under the auspices of the Hendrix estate, could hardly fail to improve on its predecessors but equally cannot be expected to turn lead into gold.
On offer are two formats: a limited edition double CD comprising all 120 meandering minutes, and a single CD which omits most of the second half of the set. The highlight of both is the oft-compiled finale ''In From The Storm'' - the only new song which captures the Experience's original intensity. Other 'new' compositions struggle without the glorious polyrhythmic overdubs the studio offered to ''Dolly Dagger'', ''Freedom'' and ''Ezy Ryder''. Unfortunately Hendrix by now felt jaded towards his earlier material - after an unfocussed ''Foxy Lady'' he complains to the audience about the demand for him to play such oldies.

Fijn DVDtje is dat Blue Wild Angel. Vind deze performance net wat lekkerder weg kijken dan die van Woodstock.quote:Op vrijdag 19 augustus 2005 12:42 schreef hendrixfan het volgende:
