There is another version of this album by Classic Records, I've compared both vinyl editions on audiophile equipment, ok, Capitol's red vinyl is quite charming, but Classic's edition kicks ass (as usual). Clearer, heavier... so go for Classic if you want the ultimate sound!

This Hendrix Album is totally different from his work with the oustanding crew of the experience, but...I'm speecheless, this album is fantastic because it shows how creative and inovative this man was. He mixed Rock, Soul, Funk and psychodelia in one magnific formula. Buddy Miles is another kind of drummer, other style, so good as the master Mitch Mitchell, but his differencial is his groove and he's a great singer in addition. Billy Cox is great on the bass, so, the only advice I give for the fans and for the people who search a new different sound, still modern although it was made in the 70's close your eyes and buy this album. It's a new experience so fantastic as hearing the album "Are You Experienced?" for the first time.

I thought the color vinyl was a bit gimmicky but it doesn't really sound that bad. Bit muffled in the top end as was common of live recordings of the era. Good record, the master is faithful.

Okay do we really need a review of this album? I'm just saying for those of you who do not like this album you can get help for that i mean there are places you can go and fix the hatered you have in your soul. This is one of those albums you just have to have on vinyl, and by the way i rate this album 100 stars************ if i could No! i will, this is how good this album is please buy it!!!!!!!!

This was one of my favorite records on CD. The guitar sounds are so awesome... On vinyl it's even better. Amazing

Get it while it's hot. These "Capitol Vaults" reissues are a clear money-grab, especially the Radiohead LPs, but that being said, they are really nice. If you like rock music, you should probably own this document of Hendrix live at his peak. And it's on red vinyl (or at least mine is). 'Nuff said.
