Free Music Review: Oh for the love of god Mr. Rissoff & Mr. Frankl - Jimi At Monterey Is Past Due!
Hit: 5 Stars
Look, I know there's Hendrix fans who have the Reprise release of this from 1986 or possibly the 1970 edited Hendrix/Redding combo. But hey, some people have gotten into Hendrix in between the Alan Douglas/Reprise/Experience Hendrix blowout of the early 90's which killed a lot of great Hendrix/Reprise releases...Stages, Lifelines, Concerts. Okay, we can do without "Nine" and "Midnight" because those sucked.
In their places post 1995 we've gotten basically overused-univibe Jimi with a lagging Mitchell and a bored Redding or having Cox drowned out by Jimi. Heck, they'll release Berkeley and four or five other sub-par gigs but not San Diego 1969 which blows the doors off of everything since Monterey...plus still no Monterey anyway? And where's Winterland, by the way? Oh, I forgot...Hendrix's family in their infinite wisdom - Jimi Drink showed their "skills", I might add - killed Ryko's Hendrix releases as well. Like Ryko was a major force to be dealt with or something.
All these things said, I'm glad they've released Monterey again. I lost my 1986 copy in 1991 and have been looking for a new copy since. Plus, the Wild Thing mix on 2002's Voodoo Child was much better than the 1986 mix, let alone the Hendrix/Redding 1970 thing. And think of how many new Hendrix fans since the mid 90's who've picked up either beat up used 1986 Monterey off the internet, probably one of them was once mine, or some tanked bootleg off a torrent site.
Stop whining and be glad they're releasing it to properly and triggering newer fans and us morons who lost our 1986's to get an official Monterey release currently in circulation.
Five stars.
