Jimi Hendrix: Band Of Gypsys (Track)
Chris Welch, Melody Maker, 20 June 1970
ANY ALBUM from Jimi is such a rare event, one can only be pleased to see his name back on the new releases' rack. Here is a selection of "live" tracks, recorded at New York's Fillmore East, with Jimi's spaced-out guitar backed by the talents of Buddy Miles on drums and Billy Cox, bass.
