Jimi Hendrix In The West 1969 1970

Hendrix In The West is a compilation album of live recordings from 1969 and 1970 and was one of the early posthumous releases that would appear under the Jimi Hendrix name.

This originally collected together performances from February 1969 through to August 1970. It has been re-released in a remastered version in 2011 with extra songs and the removal of the two Royal Albert Hall 1969 songs.

The re-released removed Little Wing and Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) from the February 1969 London performance and replaced them with Little Wing from Winterland in October 1968 and Voodoo Chile from San Diego in May 1969.

To some extent this album has been superseded by the release of the individual concerts.

Songs On Miles Davis Bitches Brew Live

1. Miles Runs The Voodoo Down
2. Sanctuary
3. It s About That Time/The Theme
4. Directions
5. Bitches Brew
6. It s About That Time
7. Sanctuary
8. Spanish Key
9. The Theme

There are a lot of live recordings of Miles Davis in this electric period in the late 1960s but the Newport tracks are very unusual with Davis backed only by the rhythm section.

This isn’t my era of jazz but I can understand that this is an important phase.
