Machine Gun: The Fillmore East First Show 12/31/1969
2016 2LP 180gm pressing in gatefold. "Machine Gun: The Fillmore East First Show 12/31/1969" captures Jimi Hendrix at a pivotal moment, both in his career and in the evolution of rock music. The performance, recorded live at the Fillmore East in New York City, showcases Hendrix's innovative blending of blues, rock, and funk, as he performs with the Band of Gypsys—a group that marked a shift from his earlier work with the Experience. Renowned music critic Robert Christgau might note the raw energy and improvisational prowess that define this recording, emphasizing how Hendrix's guitar work on tracks like the titular "Machine Gun" is both ferocious and deeply expressive. The album not only highlights Hendrix's technical skill but also his ability to channel the social and political tensions of the era through his music.

The record's live setting adds an unbridled authenticity to the listening experience, with the audience's reactions punctuating every crescendo and guitar riff. The chemistry between Hendrix, drummer Buddy Miles, and bassist Billy Cox is palpable, creating a dynamic and immersive soundscape that breathes new life into Hendrix's compositions. Critics like Lester Bangs might appreciate how the album captures a fleeting moment of Hendrix's evolution, as he continues to push the boundaries of his sound while maintaining the emotive core that defines his work. "Machine Gun" stands as a testament to Hendrix's unparalleled artistry and the transformative power of live performance, offering listeners a window into a singular night in music history.
