Jimi Hendrix Performs in New York

Recorded just after midnight on New Year’s Eve, 1969 at the now-legendary concerts that Hendrix performed with his Band of Gypsys at the Fillmore East in New York. This track shows Hendrix’s amazing ability to learn a melody within seconds and make it sound as if he wrote it. The New York Times said of the performance “His playing is so loud, so fluid and so rife with electronic distortions that it resembles that of no other performer.”
