Reviews
In The West (rec. 1968 - 1970, 1972)This terrific live compilation has been out of print for years, but I've seen it on import CD, and you should buy it if you can find it. Monterey and Woodstock are his most famous performances, but far from his best: the takes of "Little Wing," "Red House" and "Voodoo Chile" here are exquisite, plus there are smoking covers of "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Johnny B. Goode." The one non-classic cut, the Isle of Wight version of "God Save The Queen," is mercifully short. (DBW)
Monterey and Woodstock were Hendrix's most historically important recorded and released live performances, period. Few of his shows have ever been released as complete sets, and the ones that have are of little historical consequence (see Stages). This might be a good compilation of live performances, but it's a compilation, and as such I don't consider it "definitive" at all. (JA)
