There is a lot of speculation about the waning days of rock star Jimi Hendrix, who died in September 1970. Partly because of his immense popularity, it is clear that he was lived by his management, among others, who constantly chased him out of the studio for exhausting tours. He was also still with an American record deal that he had signed before he left for England in 1966. On top of all that,
… the radical Black Panther Party would be on his neck to point out to him that he needed to stand out more clearly for his African American heritage. And that while Hendrix had already joked in an interview that he came from Mars. He delivered the live album Band Of Gypsys to be released under the aforementioned record deal. It was recorded in the legendary New York club Fillmore East, on New Year's Eve 1969 and appeared three months later. It is Hendrix's blackest record, accompanied by Billy Cox on bass and Buddy Miles on drums and vocals. Among other things, in two songs by Miles there is solid and swinging funk rock. It also contains the ultimate version of the aggressive and drawn-out Machine Gun, on which Hendrix portrays a complete war on guitar with many effects. A song that portrays the turbulent era of the late sixties and perhaps also the frustrations he had to deal with at that time. It makes this only live record that Hendrix himself authorized to be another highlight in his oeuvre. The latter, tragically.
