Blue Wild Angel: Live At The Aisle Of Wight

Blue Wild Angel: Live at the Isle of Wight. After only being available in heavily edited or bootleg form, Jimi Hendrix's complete performance at the Isle of Wight Festival was finally officially released some 32 years after the fact. Although Hendrix is plagued by equipment problems and audience expectations, and the entire festival had degenerated into something of a debacle by the time Jimi hit the stage as headliner, the sound is fantastic, the packaging and booklet are filled with great photos, and it is the entire performance (except for the fade-out of "Midnight Lightning" ending disc one). Jimi's guitar playing is superb in spots, and his wonderful sense of humor is on display throughout.
