Your Favorite Underplayed Hendrix Masterpiece- studio thread (includes jams)
"Underplayed" is not quantifiable of course. You can choose an overplayed release that you still find under-appreciated.
In no particular order:
"Captain Coconut"- posthumous mix from Crash Landing
I have heard the unedited clips. Sorry, I'm a purist and a devotee, but I will not tolerate Alan Douglas slander in this context. This is an instrumental masterpiece that deserved a polished, commercial release and Eddie Kramer did a superb job.
"Peace in Mississippi"- also from Crash Landing
These two are one-off bombshells- "off the charts" on many levels. One is a futuristic fantasy; the other a heavy metal lament.
"Drone Blues"- 9 to the Universe.
Again kudos to Kramer. Again a one-off instrumental that is shockingly fresh after 57 years. The edited cut on the vinyl is near perfect.
Look Over Yonder- Rainbow Bridge
Sure, the guitar tracks are layered on- but the solo flat out kills.
Drivin' South- BBC, 2 takes.
I pull this one out whenever someone claims technical superiority for "Guitar God X". This was Jimi before he really matured as a guitarist (hard to believe),
The Drifter's Escape- For the vocals mainly- Jimi must have identified strongly with the lyrics.

My Jimi Hendrix cd collection
Have Been a fan for fifty years. I reached the stage of asking myself when is enough, enough. So I stopped buying any music several years ago as I have a massive music collection.
I have now started asking myself should I go on and complete my Jimi cd collection, or not. When is enough, enough

2 people have climbed the Empire State Building in New York to fly a flag. The flag reads “When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace.”
Appears to be derived from famous quote attributed to the Jimi Hendrix which is: "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace”

Is this worth it? Not sure why it’s such a huge discount but I’d almost feel dumb passing on it.

This is amazing. A quote Jimi used and so true.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience [1080p HD Remaster] The Wind Cries Mary - (Live At Monterey)
There’s of course a lot more remarkable music he wrote, but I wanted to share this high quality recording of arguable one of his most signature songs. Great concert in general too.

Did black people like Jimi Hendrix when he was alive or did they see him as an outcast? Just a question

With Eire Apparent
By the way if you haven't listened to "Sunrise" the album Jimi produced for Eire Apparent, you really should. Jimi plays guitar on several songs including the only time Jimi was backed by a symphony orchestra, "The Captive and the Sun" which was orchestrated by Jimi's old friend from London, Vic Briggs.
