Other than being mixed for sonics, this is as live and raw as it was on that night in 2007 at the London Hippodrome when it was recorded. I’m not sure anyone else could have pulled this off other than Gary, and it’s nice to see him with the salmon pink Strat he used so often in his hard rockin’ days. If you’re a fan of Jimi, Gary, or you just love listening to guitar music then this is a must have.
Gary dose justice to the original rendition of the songs and adds solos that only he can do while keeping in line with the song. There is also an appearance from Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox on Red House and Stone Free just to add to the magic of the occasion. All songs included are songs that Jimi recorded and made famous, except for My Angel which is a loud instrumental in Jimi’s style and written by Gary. I can pick any track as my favourite but I’m going with the amazing version of Angel. What an amazing player Mr. Moore was, and this song showing the quieter side of Jimi is just wonderful.
Great record.
9/10 from The Grooveman.
