 High Live & Dirty LP Re-named and on CD.... January 8, 2008

This may be the worst CD ever. It is a remake of the Nutmeg records, red vinyl High Live and Dirty LP from the early 80's. Yeah I know I rated it as 5 Stars. I'll explain in a minute. This is without a doubt the worst collection of Jimi Hendrix "music" ever. The session was taped in a New York night club in 1968 and like the title says Jimi must have been wasted that night. Very wasted! He misses every note and forgets every line to every song. Song is probably the wrong word to use, there are no songs here, just a drug and booze soaked jam session. His backing band is atrocious and it sounds like people keep jumping up on stage and joining his band's attempt to make something that sounds like a song. The comments caught on tape are pretty funny, you can just imagine the rowdy stoned out late 60's scene going down...you would probably appreciate this album alot more if you do some 60's style drugs. It's flat out awful.
Here is the good part. Jim Morrison was in attendence the night this was taped and he jumps up on stage and tries to join in. He is even more wasted than Jimi Hendrix if you can believe that. The song Morrison's Lament (also known as F.H.I.T.A.) is nothing more than a drunken Morrison rolling around the floor of the stage repeating the words " F*#k her in the assh@#le ". He changes it up a little by saying " F*#k her baby, in the assh@#le " a few times.
Back in the early 80's when I bought this album my buddies and I would sit around and get hammered listening to his good stuff like Axis Bold As Love or Are You Experienced...then after we were good and ripped we'd slap High Live and Dirty on....we could not stop laughing. I used to hurt myself laughing at F.H.I.T.A, we'd play that damn song over and over and over...and then eat about 100 bags of dorritos.
Yes the music sucks. But if you had a blast cracking up at over this album back in the day like I did you gotta get it just to play F.H.I.T.A on your buddy's phone answering machines.
I love Jimi Hendrix music...but that ain't what this album is all about. I guess for completists you'd have to buy it, and if you actually want to hear Hendrix and Morrison on stage together ( as awful as it turned out) well here is your ticket. There are rumors that Johhny Winter played in this jam session (Hendrix mentions his name) but Winter himself denies that he was there or ever even met Morrison. This albums blows unless you are looking for a laugh. That's the truth man...No s#@t!

This CD has been around forever and I can't believe that they are still suckering people into buying this crap. The sound is horrible and the performance (if you can call it that) is even worse. If you like totally drunk musicians playing horribly, then by all means spend your money on this crap. Yeah Jim Morrison is on it...but again it's a total waste of time and money. If I could have given this CD 0 stars I would have. This is the best example of what drugs and booze will do to you.
