 Hendrix/Miles/Morrison/Winter live at the Scene Club September 24, 2000

This concert is infamous for Jim Morrison's drunken presence and for terrible sound quality. This cd issue (with liner notes) sounds better than most of the legitimate releases of this material. There is no taking away Morrison's more obnoxious bleatings, but Hendrix is great as always and soon-to-be Band Of Gypsys bandmate Buddy Miles is there on the drums. It is certainly interesting even when Hendrix himself seems diverted and unfocused as he does on parts of 'Outside Woman Blues' and 'Sunshine Of Your Love'. He redeems himself well on both of these tracks, but they start off shaky. 'Red House', 'Tomorrow Never Knows' and ''Wake Up This Morning And You Find Yourself Dead' in particular, though, just rock the house with all the aura and talent that Hendrix possessed. The fact that this was more or less a fun jam session by some inebriated legends and never intended for release makes this a classic. The fact that Hendrix and Miles manage to pull out some truly inspired, mind-bending performances is astounding. The sound is good, but still not near a pro recording. I can't say everyone must have this cd, but for those who like the music of Jimi Hendrix, you should have this disc. If only Morrison had been more professional...but I must admit 'Morrison's Lament' is worth a laugh, once. Fascinating apocrypha!

Once again, a small record company is trying to cash in on the Hendrix legacy. This was recorded with Jimi totally wasted. While hearing "Redhouse" and "Bleeding Heart" recorded live in a club might seem tempting to hear, find them elsewhere. Jim Morrison participating on this album also brings it down. He's in worse shape than Hendrix, if that could be possible. All he does is yell obscenities and rant and rave while Hendrix plays stuff an amateur guitarist could play. Whether Johnny Winter showed up, as is noted on the various versions of this album states, is debatable. It wouldn't matter. Nothing could save this disasterous effort. Recordings like this tend to tarnish the reputation of Jimi Hendrix. Do not be fooled. Stick with the authorized released stuff.
 Also known as 'Bleeding Heart' September 1, 1998

Recorded at The Scene club, this is a decent live recording of Hendrix in action. What makes it unique is Jim Morrison's participation, providing some harmonica backup and vocals (see "Morrison's Lament").

As far as sound quality goes, there are much better live recordings of Jimi Hendrix. However, as a historical document of the times, this is one of the best. Johnny Winter is also rumored to be in on this session, however Johnny has stated he has no recollection. Then again, Johnny doesn't have much recollection about anything, especially an evening 31 years ago. The selection of songs is good although the quality as I stated before isn't. I'm sure it wasn't recorded on state of the art equipment. As far as the way the band played, one can only assume the amounts of medicines that were used that evening. Listen, relax, and enjoy!

Jimi plays an impromptu jam session in a NYC nightclub. Hendrix is giving instructions to a spaced out Jim Morrison on which microphone to use as he wants to record this experience on his portable tapedeck. The album has reached a sort of mythical status on account of its obscurity, Johnny Winter (who denies being there) & Morrison's lament
