Joined by bassist <strong>Billy Cox<\/strong> and returning drummer <strong>Mitch Mitchell<\/strong>, Hendrix focused on his \u201colder\u201d (1967-68) material, previewing three numbers from his then-current recording project. The manic \u201cRoom Full of Mirrors\u201d provided a clue to what would have been Hendrix&#8217;s new direction. Musically, the trio with Cox doesn&#8217;t sound all that different from the <strong>Noel Redding<\/strong>-era Experience. The band is very together, and the live arrangements stick closely to the studio versions; only on the slow blues of \u201cRed House\u201d does Hendrix stretch out, doubling the song&#8217;s length. Though most of the performance was released on the 1991 box set <em>Stages<\/em>, this long-bootlegged recording finally gets official and complete release.<\/p>\n<p><em>An edited version of this review appeared previously in the<\/em> Colorado Springs Independent.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/the_musoscribe\">Follow \u201cthe_musoscribe\u201d on <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/musoscribe.com\/images\/icon_twitter_small.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"1\" vspace=\"0\" \/> Twitter<\/a> and get notified<br \/>\nwhen new features, reviews and essays are published.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File Next to: Cream, Buddy Guy By the time of this historic July 4, 1970 concert \u2013 in front of his largest-ever American audience \u2013 Hendrix had broken up the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,62,65],"tags":[1152],"class_list":["post-8577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-new-release","category-rawk","category-review","tag-jimi-hendrix","cat-49-id","cat-62-id","cat-65-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8577\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
