50 years ago today (3/25/70), Jimi Hendrix released Band of Gypsys, one of rock’s greatest live LPs. The short-lived but eternally influential trio featuring Hendrix, Buddy Miles (drums), Billy Cox (bass) played four historic concerts at the Fillmore East in New York City – two on New Year’s Eve 1969, and two on New Year’s Day 1970. The live LP was a document of the two performed on 1/1/70 and lives up to its accolades with blistering guitar solos, improvisational jamming and deep shots of funk and R & B. Here we go with the lead-off track off the LP “Who Knows”….
