Live Albums By Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix released three classic studio albums during his lifetime – Are You Experienced? Axis Bold As Love and Electric Ladyland with the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
He then released a live album, Band Of Gypsys with a new band before he died on September 18th, 1970.
Since then there have been numerous posthumous releases and many live albums.
Hendrix was a very exciting live performer and if you want to understand his music, you probably need several live albums.
It does get confusing but below I have tried to keep things simple by including the dates of the live performances.

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To some extent this album has been superseded by the release of the individual concerts.
