The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Winterland

The Jimi Hendrix Experience Winterland single CD, just released by Legacy Recordings through its affiliation with Experience Hendrix, is not the same music as originally put out through RykoDisc in 1987. It is, instead, a distillation of the four CD deluxe package available the same day as this new release, which is, in turn, a condensed representation of recordings made over three nights in October of 1968 at the now defunct San Francisco venue once overseen by the late impresario extraordinaire Bill Graham.

Jimi Hendrix: West Coast Seattle Boy: The Jimi Hendrix Anthology

The four CDs and one DVD in West Coast Seattle Boy seek to dispel the shadows cast over the late guitarist’s legacy by the spate of questionable releases that flooded the marketplace in the wake of his untimely death in 1970. Containing more than a few extended and/or complete recordings that previously appeared in truncated form, this box set also compiles, in rough chronological order, a plethora of song sketches and unfinished master takes that presents what is perhaps the most accurate portrait to date of Jimi Hendrix’ working methods in the recording studio.

Some documentaries are for casual fans, others are for more serious fans and others are almost for musicians themselves. This one falls into the latter two categories. There is a bit of narrative that takes him from childhood to the London of 1967 and a bit more that surrounds his death, but the focus is more on his music, his legacy and the many wild guesses as to what he would have done had he lived.

There's a tremendous irony arising from the plethora of posthumous Jimi Hendrix releases following his unexpected death in 1970. The early Alan Douglas productions, a steady stream of shoddy bootlegs, the MCA repackages in 1993 (followed closely by the first Experience Hendrix releases in 1997 and their own Dagger series) as well as the deluxe packages of the newly-introduced Experience Hendrix/Legacy Recordings partnership, to a great degree reflect the restless creative urge of the guitar icon. That said, it's hard to resist the temptation to ask when is enough enough, particularly when it comes to ostensibly official releases.
