Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsys Live At The Fillmore East 1970

Band of Gypsys catches Jimi Hendrix playing live on 31st December 1969 and 1st January 1970 at the Fillmore East in New York. A new decade starts with a big bang.

Hendrix had broken up the Jimi Hendrix Experience and is now backed by Billy Cox and Buddy Miles.

Band of Gypsys was the last album to be released in his lifetime and well before the many live albums that have since come out in his name.

Hendrix played four sets over two days which have been the basis for two Jimi Hendrix live albums – Band Of Gypsys and Live At The Fillmore.

Taste Live At The Isle Of Wight 1970

Taste Live At the Isle Of Wight was recorded at the big festival on the island in 1970 and showcases Rory Gallagher’s guitar playing.

Rory Gallagher has been one of the main inspirations behind this Best Live Albums blog because I think his Irish Tour 74 album is terrific.

I was listening to the CD and thought that more people need to know about this fantastic live music.

Taste is an earlier 3 piece band with Rory Gallagher on guitar and lead vocals, Richard “Charlie” McCracken on bass and John Wilson on drums.

Taste Live At the Isle Of Wight Overall Review Rating – 20/30

The Who Live At Leeds 1970

The Who Live At Leeds is arguably the greatest live album ever recorded.

I thought about which live album was going to be the first one to feature on my Best Live Albums blog and in the end, I decided the answer was obvious.

The first one I ever bought.

I always think of this as The Who Live At Leeds although others refer to it as Live At Leeds by The Who. From 2012 onwards, there is also The Who Live At Hull to consider.

Overall Rating For The Who Live At Leeds 29/30
