Has anyone heard any of these? They're available through the Experience Hendrix website. They look interesting, particularly the Band Of Gypsys rehearsal tapes, but you never know with these archival releases...

Very good sound quality, no rip off except the concept (Hendrix Estate - but better an Hendrix Estate than an Alan Douglas conception of the world)
By the way try to find the STAGE Boxset , i heard about these 3 live concerts........... Razz

Isn't the STAGES boxset the last thing Douglas did before 'the family' took over Hendrix' estate? I don't think I've seen it around, but I'll have a more earnest look in the 2nd hand shops in Tokyo.

About the Dagger Records bootlegs, do you have any recommendations? Are the demo collections any good?

I think it refers to the recording quality, rather than the legality of it. I guess Experience Hendrix figure if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

most of the studio stuff on Dagger is pretty good quality...thanks to Eddie Kramer and access to the masters... "Hear My Music" would be my favorite...
the live material is primarily audience recordings...but some good stuff..."Dear Mr. Fantasy" from the Fillmore in '68 and the 18 minute "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" from Oakland in '69 are some nice gems!

My favourite Dagger is Morning Symphony Ideas. The first two tracks together is a 40 minute studio jam with only Jimi and Miles, it's just killer for me. Oooh!

Here My Music is also very good, for example unedited version of Trashman from the crap Alan Douglas 1976 Midnight Lightning album. Ezy Ryder jam is also fine.

But it's much-much better than Alan Douglas was. Of course the family also makes some wrong things, for example Live At Woodstock 2CD 1999 release has many edits. But overall, the family releases are excellent in my opinion.
Eddie Kramer mixing is also very excellent, however there is one really bad thing, almost all the Experience Hendrix CDs are mastered too loud volume. If you grab tracks to wav, and you see the tracks in a wav editor, you will see the cutting on the upper and lower level. So the music is distorted in many cases.

Im not really talking about the CD's....im guessing Eddie Kramer puts a hell of a lot of the work in to them....I'm talking more about the dvd's. From the ones I've seen they havent really gone on a mission to brin something new. Im comparing these releases to the Who's The Kid's Are Alright. Painstaking effort went in to discover new and lost prints to try and remaster the fim into the best it could be...and the extras are absolutely superb.

The Hendrix dvd's seem to just appear as they were found. I dunno if Im making sense, but for example with the Hendrix at Berkeley dvd there seems to have been no effort to make any mini documentaries on it or even an effort to seek out the complete concert film. But maybe that's just me. I'm a completist and wanna see it all!!!

Yes, I agree with DVDs. I also would like to see complete performances. The Berkeley is only DVD version of the early documentary movie. The tracks are missings, out of order, and which are there, are heavily edited. However the sound quality is excellent for Berkeley.

Or for example the Jimi Hendrix - Experience DVD. It contains two tracks from the famous 1969.01.09 Stockholm concert. Why they don't release the complete footage? It's exists for sure.

Yes yes oh my god yes I completely agree! The extra performances on that dvd where quizical! Instead of showing a range from across his career, there were several performances of Wild Thing from the early days for some strange reason and that Stockholm performance which is an odd show. I wouldve liked some range! There's sooooo much good stuff out there....


God, I complain too much.
