Hendrix - Machine Gun

I've seen this solo once on a documentary, and thought it was pretty awesome.

I have no idea what or where the concert was...and I just saw the solo mentioned in the "best guitar solo" thread.

What is the best version of this song (because I'd like a copy)? (and feel free to discuss the song of course).

Re: Hendrix - Machine Gun

It was a performance at the 'Isle of Wight Festival' in 1970
It was a good performance, but not one of his best (in my opinion).You can get the dvd and vhs at amazon, or most music/video stores. I would definately reccomend it if you like the 'counter culture' movement in the late 60's and early 70's. It also includes great performances by The Doors, ELP, Family, Jethro Tull, Joni Mitchell, Free ect.

Re: Hendrix - Machine Gun

I'm not sure if the Isle of Wight thing has been released in Oz...but I'll certainly add it to the growing list of things to look for next time I go to the music store.

Machine Gun is FANTASTIC. Jimi was a guitar-God

Re: Hendrix - Machine Gun

There are quite a few Hendrix Band Of Gypsys CD's available on ebay.
Hell, I may even buy one myself.
