Machine gun : the Fillmore East first show 12/31/1969

"Even on his off nights, Jimi Hendrix was still one of the world's finest rock and blues guitarists. When he was on, as he is here, playing without his usual blustery theatrics, even slightly under-rehearsed, there was no one better and this sizzling performance proves that definitively".

"It's not really fair to compare Machine Gun to Band of Gypsys since one is a largely unedited complete performance and the other is the best cuts selected from a couple shows. That said, there are performances here that rival those of the original Band of Gypsys album, and hearing Jimi on his game with great sound will always be welcomed".

"Just when you think the seemingly bottomless Jimi Hendrix well must be dry, out of nowhere comes this corker of a live show. It's the third disc drawn from these concerts of his short-lived Band of Gypsys (the original single album was the final release during his life, and a posthumous double Live at the Fillmore East also covered these shows), but the only one that presents an entire gig in order. Most of these versions have not been previously officially released, the professionally recorded audio is as crisp, arguably more so, as any live Hendrix already out there (which is saying plenty), and this outfit featuring drummer/vocalist Buddy Miles and bassist Billy Cox, although rough around the edges on their first official gig, delivers with passion and intensity".
