I Have Been Experienced

"In early 1992,I walked into a local stereo dealer`s showroom looking to by a pair of speakers and asked to hear the Klipsch Heresys.I handed the salesman a cd of this album and asked him to play song 5 and give it some volume which he did,gladly.I sat on the couch and listened to the incredible version of Are You Experienced with goosebumps running up and down my arms with my eyes closed and went on the sonic journey that I still feel is one of the best live cuts I`ve ever heard from Jimi Hendrix.
After it was over I opened my eyes and saw the salesman staring at me with a smile on his face.He asked me if the speakers were what I wanted and I answered yes.Seventeen years later listening to those same speakers playing the same song it happens all over again and it is fantastic.For what its worth,this collection of live cuts fashioned to resemble a Jimi Hendrix concert are probally the best performed and recorded songs I have ever heard and I`ve heard alot.
And please,don`t just buy it for the hits but for the lesser known songs as well.The last song,a great version of Hear My Train A Comin, is definitive.A great disc for even the most casual fan and essential for any Hendrix freak.Gone but not forgotten,this is Jimi Hendrix at his best."

"Obviously it's just an opinion but I think this album has the best collection of Jimi live I've ever heard. Little Wing is sublime, Bleeding Heart and Red House are absolute blues clinics, and Hear My Train a' Comin is hauntingly deep. Should be in any Hendrix fans collection."
